The Long Journey of Emily B. Harthwan

Black, White, and Blurs

A/N: This is the only chapter I'm planning on doing with Charlie's POV, but if you want me to do another one, leave a comment!

When I woke up, everything was...blurry! I could see blurs! I was so happy. One of the nurses walked in. "Hello," she said sweetly. "Im Brooke, your nurse." "Hello Brooke, my nurse." I said. She smiled. That's the thing with blind people, we can just tell what someone is doing or feeling. "What's going on?" I asked. "Your vision's coming back." she said. I almost jumped for joy, I was so happy. "The doctors expected this to happen, but not until your late twenties..." I drowned her words out. I couldn't believe my ears. Could I really be able to see again? I couldn't wait to tell Emily. Suddenly, the door slammed open. "What is it Faith?" Brooke asked. The nurse, Faith, answered, "There's an emergency in room 268. A girl has been put into a short-term coma." "What's her name?" I asked, nervous for what would come next. "Emily" Faith said. "Emily B. Harthwan."

I felt my heart beat like crazy. She was here. She was three doors away. "I have to see her" I said as I began to get out of bed. "No," said Brooke, shoving me back down. "You need to stay here" I tried to push away. "Yes I do. She's my...my girlfriend!" I blurted out. I didn't mean to do it, but I was glad I did. Brooke sighed. "I'll let you go and see her, after I get back, okay?" I agreed. Faith came over and said, "Your girlfriend left you a note." I blushed. "She said
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Love, Emily
I thanked her. You do a lot of thanking in a hospital. Soon after, my doctor came in. "I have the results of your test..."

After a period of forever, Brooke came in. "You can see her now." she said. She took out my IV, and lead me to her room. When I opened the door, I saw Faith at the counter...and a lifeless shape lying on the bed. "Emily." I said. I ran to the bedside. "What happened to you?" I began to cry. I needed to keep her alive. I needed to se her face. I swallowed hard. "The doctor said my vision's coming back. I'll be able to see color again." I smiled. "I can see red and blue...and you." "Time to go now." Faith said. I bent down, kissed her, and whispered, "I love you."
