Tyler's POV

I was trying to concentrate on the sound of my mom talking with my new principal but all I could think about was the hell I was about to endure. High school. I was going to be a freshman, which meant everyone and anyone was going to try to kill me.
I mean I am at disadvantage. I'm blind for Christ's sake. The only reason I'm still in public school and not at some blind people school is because, even with being blind my grades are still good. I still take notes, just not in actual English. I have some stupid professional follow me to all my classes, he translates everything I write to actual English. He also tells me whatever I have to write about. Really he's my only friend.
     That's sad isn't it? Blind kids only friend is his stupid translator. My mom says this new school will be better for me. Apparently bullying rates aren't as high here as my middle school. I honestly think it's a load of bull she's feeding me. But to make her happy I played along like I believed her. Don't get me wrong I love my mom. She's amazing and nice, but sometimes I wish she didn't treat me like a child.
   I finally zoned back in when my mom started shaking my shoulder. "Tyler. Tyler pay attention please." She said softly shaking me. "I'm paying attention mom." I lied while Turing to try and face her. "Over here Tyler." She said tapping my back. I muffled a laugh and turned around. "Am I facing you now?" I asked smiling. All she did was start laughing and I assumed I was facing her. It's reasons like this that I love my mom. She's always making me laugh. Her laugh is very contagious. "All right sweetie you start tomorrow lets get home." As the words left her mouth I let out a sigh. I didn't want to start. But who knows, maybe I'll make some friends. Ha, as if.  You're a freak blind kid. Why would anyone want to be friends with you? I shuddered. I hate my own thoughts sometimes.

   The drive home was quite. But a peaceful kind of quite. The radio was on and the drive was short. I assumed about 20 minutes. My mom helped me out of the car and into our house. "Anywhere specific you wanna go?" She asked once the door was closed. "Mom I think I know my way around the house." I said with a small laugh. "Right sorry Tyler, it's just I don't want you getting hurt trying to get around the house." I just smiled at her concern for me but walked away without her anyway. I walked down the hall and found the basement door. I opened it, flipped the light switch and carefully made my way down the stairs. I searched a bit got my piano and when I found it I smiled widely. I sat down and started playing a song that I wrote. As I played I sang the words that meant a lot to me.

   'Now, the night, is coming to an end,
Ooooh

The sun, will rise, and we will try again.
Ooooh

Stay alive, stay alive, for me.
You will die, but now your life, is free,

Take,
Pride,
In what is sure,
To,
Die.

I, will fear, the night again,
Ooooh
I hope, I'm not, my only friend.
Ooooh

Stay alive, stay alive, for me.
You will die, but now your life, is free,

Take,
Pride,
In what is sure,
To,
Die.'

The song finished and I heard someone clapping. I looked around before I realized that I wouldn't be able to see whoever it was. "Mom?" I asked. She usually came down here when she heard me playing. "No, it's actually better than mom." I heard a masculine kind of voice say and automatically recognized it as my brother, Zack. "Why are you down here?" I questioned. "Mom wanted to know if you wanted cookies." He said sitting down next to me. "Yes!" I said and jumped up trying to carefully rush upstairs. Which isn't very useful. I could hear Zack laughing and i started laughing with him. I finally made it upstairs and into the kitchen. "Here Tyler this plates for you." My mom said and handed me a plate. I took the plate and walked to my room. Where I'll stay until tomorrow morning.
