You see everything in slow motion. My body can't move even if I wanted to escape this terror.  My eyes wide open as I witness the truck crash into my car.  Large and tiny pieces of shattered glass showered before me.  The strong impact was the last thing I remembered.

"Where am I?"  I can't see anything.  I tried to open my eyes but I can't.  I felt a thick cloth covering my eyes and I tried to remove them.

"Julia, no baby.  Please don't do that.  You'll only hurt yourself."

"Mike? What happen?  Why can't I see you? What happen to me?"  My voice cracking.  I suddenly feel the pain in my body.

"Julia, calm down."  My brother embraced me tenderly and he laid me down cautiously.

He holds my hand and I hear him say, "A truck loses its brakes and crash into your car.  I thank God you are alive, baby sister."

I remember everything now.  "But what are these on my eyes?  Please tell the doctor to remove it now. Please, Mike?"

"Julia, something happened to your eyes.  Tiny glasses went inside your eyes, they have removed the remains but we still need to wait until the wounds heal."

Drew.  I suddenly thought of her.  "Mike, how long have I been here?"

"One week.  I thought we lost you, Julia. I thank God, you are alive."  My brother is crying.  I can hear his sobbing.

"Does, Drew know?"

"I haven't told anyone yet except for mom and dad.  They are here a while ago, I asked them to go home and rest."

"Please don't tell Drew and Beth. Mike, Please?"  I can't believe I have been here for a week.  I'm sure Drew is looking for me.  But she can't see me like this.

"Yes, baby sis.  Stay here I'll call the doctor and call mom and dad."

Three days have passed, and I am still here.  My heart is bursting from worries.  I don't know what Drew is thinking right now.  I love her so much that I don't want her to see me like this.  This is day that the doctors will be removing the bandage over my eyes.  Anxiety fills me. Pride slowly creeping.  I can't accept my state now.  I am very weak and low.  I don't know how I can cope with this if I lose my sight.

I hear the door opened.

"Hi Julia, it's me your mom."

"Hey baby girl, dad is here."

Is it enough for me to just hear them? I want to see their faces.  I smell dad's cologne and unexpectedly he embraced me.  I felt my mom hugged me too.  I feel so lost in this darkness.  Will I be able to see again or just be content to feel their embraces?  My heart in pain. My throat aches from trying not to cry.  Will my eyes be able to shed tears? Oh, god it hurts too much.

Sitting on the hospital bed, the doctor slowly and carefully removes my eye bandage.  My heart groans from so much fear.  I am losing hope to this dilemma that I am in.

"Alright, Julia open your eyes slowly."  I follow the doctor's instructions.  I slowly open my eyes.

I see nothing but bright light and darkness surrounding.  Like I'm in an endless tunnel that I cannot get out.
