*Hey guys, please don't shy away from commenting, voting and helping me check any grammatic error. Please also note that this story will be told in Thea's POV( MC).*
Thea, the greek goddess of light,titaness of sight and the shining light of the clear blue sky. Yeah, that's what my parents decided to name me. Except I wouldn't be any goddess and I would be born blind. They decided long on the name even before I was conceived, if I would've been a boy I'd be Theos. So they were really expecting someone who would bring about light in their lives and they got me.
"Theaaaa!!!, If you don't get here now; you're going to be late for your first day."
I would hear that voice from a million miles away especially when she's exicited about something. The source of the loud irritating voice, my mom. I have been home schooled for eternity, so now she has finally decided to let me leave the nest, thanks to my therapist.
" I swear to God, if you're not here in 5 minutes I'm coming to drag you out of there myself."
" Mom, I'm coming." You could hear the irritation in my voice.
My parents decided to dedicate their lives to making sure I was comfortable.That meant, getting me a room close to theirs; which was on the first floor of a double storey house. Replacing any sharp objects in the house with plasticware, yes since I'm an 18 year old suicidal blind infant.
" Here you are honey, was about to call 911. Good morning Sweetheart, how did you sleep?" kisses my cheek
" Where's Dad?"
" That's great honey, I slept quite alright. Thanks for asking." Sarcastically
"Sorry Mom. So where's Dad?"
" Your Dad left early to go to work. And I am going to take you to school. I really hope you get to have a very nice time at school, make friends, laugh and just be a teenager"
" Oh so you know I'm a teenager, judging by how you treat me, I'd have sworn you forgot when you had me. And don't worry Mom, I'll be sure to make plenty of blind friends so you won't have to worry about me attempting to kill myself. That's what you're worried about right? Me trying to end my miserable life."
" Thea, oh honey noo. Your Dad and I love you so much, we just want you to have a normal life. We already stole so much time from you and I know we can't ever get you those years back but..We just want you to try."
" Try to be normal? I'm not normal Mom, I'm blind. I never got the chance to get used to that, you've always tried to fix me. When you couldn't, you took me away from society, you stole a chance of me ever being normal. So I'm sorry Mom. I am not Thea, I didn't bring any light into your life instead all you got was a miserable child who hides in her room all day and hates being outside. I hate being pitied, I hate that people think just because I'm blind I'm not human, that I don't feel. I'm not a pet project Mom. I'm your daughter and I need you to be my Mom, not my teacher or my therapist. I don't need these plastic plates or spoons. I need you to be my Mom."
