I wake up and just stare at the ceiling. " I really need to pee." I sigh. I get out of bed and put on my shirt then walk to the bathroom. " That thing is probably watching me take a piss." I wash my hands and then wash my face. I look in the mirror. " What the...." I come closer to the mirror and look closer. "Are those.....eyes?" I touch one of them. " Yep it's an eye." Sighing I walk out of the bathroom. " I HAVE FOUR EYES WHAT THE EVEN." I scream and run back into the bathroom. " I have four eyes. Why do I have four eyes. Kelly is going to hate me. I look like a freak." I pace back and fourth. " I'll just close my eyes because they've always been closed right. Right haha I'm screwed."

I hear a knock at the door and I look up at the clock. Twelve-thirty pm, on time as normal. I close my extra eyes praying that she doesn't notice.
" Dude I know you're there answer the door."
" Okay, Okay I'm coming hold your horses." I open the door with a shaky hand. She looks at me look and hard.
" Your face looks a little bruised dude."
Kelly says as she runs over and plops on the couch. I go over and sit next to her.
" There is a new episode of that show on."
Kelly says looking at me.
" Jamie you're really stiff. Do I need to get out the tickle monster?"
She says about to start. I quickly shake my head no, but I know that made no difference.
" Here comes the tickle monster! "
Kelly whispers in my ear. My eyes fly open as she tickles my stomach. My eyes tear up and then she's done. She looks at me weird like I did something wrong.
" What's. Oh. Oh..."
I shut my extra eyes. I can't believe I let that happen and now. Now she's going to think I'm some freak. My eyes tear up  as I look her in the eye.
" I'd understand if you don't like me because I'm some freak."
I look away.
" I wouldn't like me either."
I sadly admit. Kelly makes my eyes meet hers. She wipes my tears falling from my eyes.
" Jamie, I'll always love you no matter what you look like."
Kelly says kissing me below my left eye. I laugh sadly and kiss her back. Her lips are soft to the touch when my lips touch hers. I expect her to pull away but she doesn't, she kisses me back. I pull away first and open all my eyes. We both are trying to catch our breath.
" So you still want to watch that episode?"
She looks at me and laughs.
"That's kinda what I came here for."
