Remember when you were five years old, and you wake up from a good nap? Try and remember that groggy feeling you always had. You didn't quite know where you were, so you would have a mini freak out. Now, think about that feeling, and multiply it by two hundred. Yeah, that's what i'm feeling right now.
I have absolutley no idea where i'm at. I can't open my eyes, my whole body hurts, and the room smells very... clean. I'm struggling to get up, but my body won't function, won't follow my comands. Everything is really frustrating. All I know is my brain is really foggy, and I want to get up. I want to see. I want to know what's going on.
Finally, after what feels like an eternity of struggling, I sit up. My eyes still won't open, but I am finally in an upright position. A hear a movement close by, and then I feel someone next to me.
"Kairi? Kairi! Are you okay? Are you actually awake?" The voice sounds terrible, tired. Withdrawn, really. Like he hadn't had enough sleep in a long time, and he's finally gave up. I immediately understand the voice to be my best friend Joseph. We've been attached at the hip since birth. Literally. Our moms were best friends, and we were actually born on the same day. Only two hours apart.
I was handed a glass of water, which I drank eagerly. I hadn't realized I was so thirsty. The cold liquid slide down my overly dry throat. I answered my best friend in a very hoarse voice. Almost a whisper.
"Yeah, doofus. What else would I be, dead?" I laugh, and I hear him take a slight intake of breath. Wait... hear. Speaking of which, "Hey Joseph... Why can't I open my eyes?" I asked quietly, rubbing them. "And where am I?"
It took a while before I got a response. While I waited, he shuffled his feet a bit. "Uhm, Kairi. Your eyes are open." He whispered, and I could only guess he was looking down. He did that when he was upset, embarrassed, or worried about something. I didn't know which was running through his mind right now. "What do you mean, they're already open? No they're not. I can't see anything."
I felt him sit down on the bed, and his arms went around me.
"Kairi... we got in a car accident. You weren't wearing your seat belt. You flew out the windshield and hit your head pretty hard. We weren't sure until you woke up, but..." Joseph trailed off, but I understood what he meant. I was blind. I am blind. I started crying silent tears, and leaned into Joseph. "How long do they think I will be? Will I recover?" I whispered into his shirt, trying my best not to full out sob. I already knew the answer.
"Kairi," This was a new voice, very feminine. I hadn't heard the door open. Meaning this person had probably been in the room the whole time. Watching my reaction to everything. "I'm Dr. Karen. We were hoping with time, as you were in your coma, your head injuries would heal. But since you still can't see, i'm afraid that won't happen. It may over time, but it also might not. I'm very sorry." I felt her hand on my shoulder, and then she was gone. Walking out the door quietly. I heard it shut with a soft click.
I was blind, I most likely would be for the rest of my life.
