Twenty-Six: Joseph Evergreen

Joseph Evergreen

***Joseph***

Visits to the doctor's have been very recent and occasional as of late. It's freaking scary.

I can't stop thinking about this.

I mean, how scary would it be for you if you knew that in the near or distant future, all you would see was darkness?! When you sleep, it's dark. When you wake, it's dark. When you eat, it's dark.

Forever dark....

And there are so many flipping things to add to the list of the things I'd miss when I'm blind. What will happen when I have lost the ability to see? How will I change? How will I read?

Besides all that shit going on right now,  my relationship with Madison has definitely increased and strengthened. We no longer snap and bite at each other. Or at least Madison snaps lesser at me than before.

Bring up Sebastian and it's snapville with her.

I'm still paranoid and scared though. I really don't want to spill all that information about her father to someone...who she can't and I can't trust.

Heck! I don't even trust myself to keep this secret.

It's most definitely a secret considering she seldom talks about her father.

Not even a little mention of her dear father, not even a tad bit. It's most definitely something very personal.

I just pray to the Lord above that no spillage of secrets and information will spill from my mouth to another.

"This shot is amazing Joseph! Job well done. Not only will this grab everyone's attention, but it could be an incredibly good and new spot for parties and such." William commented, impressed by Madison and I's submission for the paper. Simultaneously snapping me out if my thoughts.

"Thank you." I mumble quietly, eyes glancing towards Madison's slumped figure at her desk.

She was upset again, I could already tell. The question is, what was it this time?

A lot of things really seem to upset her.

I hope it isn't about Sebastian. She doesn't need to waste her time on that jerk.

"Now off you go, submissions are due in two weeks." William waved a dismissive hand and returned to his desk.

And we were yet again, engulfed in focused silence, where we would spend hours in the newspaper room typing and printing and so on and so forth.

Throughout those two long hours of silence, I couldn't help but notice how sad and disappointed Madison looked from her desk. Her hair was up and high in a bun so it was very obvious to anyone that she was upset.

I wonder why.....

***Madison***

I have feelings for Joseph.

I think I really do.

The problem is, does he?

The question is, will he still be friends with me or will we be nothing, like specks of dust in a storm.

This is quite the irrational and stupid thinking and question but after all of my past experiences with boys and relationships. They tend to Friendzoned me more than vice versa.

And obviously, I'm pretty upset about that.

I don't want it to happen to me.

It's all so confusing. What is going on with me? What the heck?! When did I develop these feelings towards him?!?! What the heck happened?

And it's odd and weird because feeling like this towards Joseph and being afraid of getting Friendzoned just feels so incredibly weird and wrong. Like this shouldn't even be an issue in the first place...and that I shouldn't worry about this at all.

But the problem is...I do.

I do quite a lot because Joseph is...different, we actually became friends...quite fast. Sure we did go off on a bit of a rough start, but it's all good now....

I can't believe I'm actually upset and worried about this.

It's just so...freaking unnecessary!

It's so funny what girls and human beings think of sometimes when they take interest in a certain subject or topic.

It's funny how they make it all so complicated for themselves and over think, when really, the answer is just before their very eyes.

Oh how funny.

But I suppose that's just who we are. Puny and somewhat intelligent humans who think too much.

Some thinking too much, some thinking too little, some not thinking at all. And all different from each other.

Looks like I've found something to type and talk about in the paper. Not only am I in charge of delivering  the newspapers to each class, but I'm also responsible of editing it all.

Thankfully, Joseph is here now to help me out and, it isn't a lot of editing to do. The submissions we submit are sure to be short and sweet. Or else, it'd be a pain in the neck to edit all of it and print all of isn't out for the whole entire school.

I suppose it does help a little bit more than it should, considering Joseph is with me.

We could talk as we deliver and it would be so much fun!

So much less...boring and lonely.

So much more.

Oh dear, Joseph Evergreen, what have you done?

Joseph Evergreen.
