Chapter 20 - Vision Problems

update on coming, I posted two chapters yesterday then came up with a idea for today's chapter

I woke up and opened my eyes nothing, I can't see anything, just blackness everywhere, I sat up and immediately bent over in pain I held my head and breathed deeply trying to ease the pain, I felt a hand on my right shoulder and turned my head slightly to the right. Demi said "I'm on the other side of you Emily, your completely blind aren't you," I said "is the light on," She replied "no but the room is light up the curtains are open." I said "turn on the lights," I assume she did because everything became a dark grey cloud, she said "well, any better," I replied "it's like I'm trying to see through a thick dark cloud." 

Demi said "I've got to go, you get some rest, okay I'll be back in a little while, I've got a tour meeting to go to," I said "okay, have fun," she laughed and said "bye, Emily." About 15 minutes after Demi left I heard the door open. A voice said "Emily I know your here where are you?," it was Derek's voice I replied "I thought you were put in jail," he said "no, I told them I that you were my sister, and that your delusional." I replied "nice," I heard footsteps enter the room and he said "can you see me and be honest because I won't fight you if you can't that wouldn't be fair." I sighed and said "no I can't see anything," he said "okay, I'm sorry about that, but I had to do it, I needed to talk to you without you running or ripping my head off," I responded "funny, what do you want?"

He replied "for you to tell me what to write so that when you come with me peacefully you can leave a note for Demi," I smiled and replied "why would I do that?," He stood infront of me and grabbed my shoulders. He said "so the both of you don't get hurt," I pushed myself forward and pinned him to the floor and replied "just because I can't see doesn't mean I'm stupid, Derek," he laughed and I heard the click of a gun, and released my grip as the tip of the gun touched my forehead. I said "go on, shoot, get it over with, do it kill me," he was about to pull the trigger when took the gun away and said "no, not like this, you're blind, and in an enormous amount of pain, it's not fair, you don't have a chance, Nat wouldn't want me to end it this way, it's too cruel."

 I let him go and said "thanks," he replied "for what?," as he stuck something in my arm, I tried to take the needle out and he said "stop, it'll fix your eyes and end the pain." He pushed the plunger on the needle and took it out he then placed one of my hands on the bed and said "see you next time, maybe I won't be as kind maybe I will, who knows." After that he said "I'm going to make it look like a fight happened so brace yourself for the punch," I stood rigid as he punched me, and I blacked out after that.

I awoke to Demi and Nick standing above me in the bathroom  everything is still fuzzy but I can tell who they are, they both looked down and said "hey," I stood up and hugged Demi  she said "oh...okay, what's this for, and you can see now I guess." I replied "I have to tell you something, about Derek," Demi said "Nick I got it from here, thanks for your help," he saluted and walked away Demi said "so what's this about Derek who is he?" I replied "he's Natalia's older brother and he gave me something to help fix my vision and pain after we talked and fought," Demi stood there looking at me stunned and she questioned "is this the same guy that chased you around and threw a knife you at the airport?"

I replied "yes, he did do that, he didn't want me to die without a fair fight," Demi gave me a thoughtful glance and said "okay, I guess that makes sense," I continued "he was going to kill me. In fact after he put the gun to my forehead I told him to go ahead and shoot, to get it over with, to kill me," Demi's jaw dropped and she wrapped me in a tight embrace one arm over my back the other on the back of my head. I felt her shake as she sobbed in my shoulder I wrapped my arms around her tightly and said "I didn't want you to get hurt, I'm sorry, I was just trying to end the stupid feud, I'm so so sorry Demi, I--." 

She sobbed "I know, that's what you do y-you try to protect me like I try to protect you, bu-but next time, let's n-not encourage death, okay," she sat up and whipped away her tears before she whipped away mine as well. I smiled as she did so and she continued "okay so you are staying home for the concert tonight I don't need a repeat of last time, I'll be home soon though I promise." I replied "okay, bye Demi, I'll miss you," Demi smiled an gave me one last hug and said "I'll miss you more," She got up and walked out of the hotel room. I sat in silence on the bed until Derek walked into the room again with a cocked gun, he smirked and said "fight looks fair now," I replied "how's it fair if your gun is already cocked and pointing at my head." He walked over and placed the tip on my forehead and replied "you had the chance to lock and close the door or run, you chose to stay, why?" I replied through gritted teeth "because I won't fight the teenage cousin who saved my life over fairness, so how's it fair to kill me then?"
