You are deaf and always have been. school was difficult for you due to being bullied, to name a few of the bullies; Scaramouche and Shogun. They would take out your hearing aids and throw them out a window making you have to replace them, steal your textbooks and put them in a pond, etc. This went on for years until you got to high school. A few years after entering high school while you were out shopping, you had run into Scaramouche! He had surprisingly learned sign language and wanted to make up for the past so you both started hanging out. You even ended up developing feelings for him, but you couldn't tell him that... You also ran into Shogun again, but she didn't change.
In the present time, Scaramouche has taken you to a firework festival. you were having a good time but you had decided to go back to your apartment.. No one knew why.
you stand at the edge of your balcony. everything had become too much, you couldn't take it anymore so you had decided to end it.. suddenly you felt a pair of arms grab you from behind and pull you back. it was Scaramouche "what are you doing?!" he signs to you with a startled expression since you don't have your hearing aids
