Synopsis
When I was nine, I lost part of my hearing saving Alex Carter from an explosion. Half my world had been silent ever since. He felt guilty. He begged our families to arrange an engagement. With red-rimmed eyes, he swore, "Emma, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life." But it was on my eighteenth birthday. To prove himself to the school's most popular girl, he ripped off my hearing aid in front of everyone. His voice dripped with disgust. "I've been sick of you, you little burden. "I wish they hadn't saved you back then. I wish you'd died." I said nothing. My hand was wrapped around the hearing recovery report in my pocket.
