Chapter 1 - Strength

Everything has always gone okay in your life (as okay as it gets in the dark side of san francisco). Until one day you're driving with your "friend", you're in the passenger seat, and a truck swerves in front of the car and hits you. The last thing you see is glass and the pure terror on your friends face. When you wake up in the hospital you see your mother drying her tears in the corner of the room, it smells painfully of bleach. When she notices she pushes the nurse out of the way and hands you a piece of paper, it reads: "I love you so much." (this story continues to be about a deaf high schooler who is just trying to survive, just like everyone else.)
