Day I went Deaf

Woke up soaked in my sweat. Ears burning gasping I shout for help but my voice was muffled. I keep shouting not understanding why I can't hear my voice. Running around the house, water filling my eyes yelling for my mami yelling for my papa. Tugging my ears growing scared and angry. I still can't hear my voice. Why can't I hear my voice. Mami and papa rushed to me with looks of fear on their faces wondering why their firstborn daughter is yelling and crying. Staring at them as they spoke. Gasping as I couldn't hear them. Rush to the hospital high fever crying holding onto ma for dear life she doing her best to calm me sooth me. Carried in put on a gurney I freak out yelling no, growing angry still can't hear my voice. Papa and the nurses trying to calm me, papa knows I'm afraid of hospitals. Then I gasp loudly as felt a sharp pain on my arm. My body began to fight me. Fighting to lash out fighting to scream but my body wouldn't let me. Salty tears flows down my face as I rolled away staring at my parents tears coming down their faces as they hold each other watching me roll away, lights were out for me. Hours later I woke up and was told I went deaf. There my entire world has changed.
