Through My Eyes [Jeon Jungkook]

20

"Yes,doctor?" I heard my mom say.

How did I get here?

I blocked out my mom and doctor's conversation, trying to open my sore eyes.

Everything was blurry, or what seemed cloudy. I then started to panic, shaking in my bed.

"Why can't I see? Why can't I see?" I said softly.

"I can't see." I nearly yelled.

"WHY CAN'T I SEE!" I cried out, as I felt tears come down my cheeks.

I saw two blurry objects that looked like thumbs, who began to speak.

"Are you okay? Melody. Mom's here." I heard the one on the right say.

"Deep breaths, deep breaths." The one on the left said.

I breathed in and out slowly, trying to see if I was hallucinating.

Nothing happened.

"Mom,what happened to me?" I asked, squinting my eyes towards the right.

"Well you see honey," what seemed like a wood swung to her face, slowly moving up and down. Was she crying? "you have Retinitis pigmentosa."

"That is where you gradually lose vision. It is a rare condition, and you are the one of the fourths in the country that have this."

I wanted to cry, but it was as if I didn't know how to anymore. I couldn't feel my eyes water due to the chemicals, which I think are eyedrops. I couldn't tell if my eyes were tearing up because when you tear up doesn't your eyes get blurry? Well my eyes were blurry enough to not tell me if I was crying or not, until I felt something run down my cheek.

"Why? What did I do? What happened to me? Did I do something to make me have this?" I choked up with questions.

I then accepted the fact that I couldn't see anymore.

I closed my eyes, filing up darkness. I started to quietly sob harder.

This changes everything. I wouldn't be able to be the person who I was before.
