       The Pain, the pain still lingers. I don't think It will ever go away. Ally sent me about 20 texts asking me what happened, but I don't feel like replying to her. I want to be alone. I know I can't be alone forever, no matter how badly I need it. After the accident the government called me about my future. they said that They will give me free financial support until I can go on my own. I get lots of free stuff like food and housing. The only downside is that I need to see therapy. A few days after the accident, my vision started going blurry. So I went to the eye doctor to see what was wrong. He told me that I was going to go legally blind soon. So the government called me again saying they are covering the cost for me to go to the eye doctor twice a week. My whole schedule is filled with doctor appointments or therapy. I don't know how I'm going to be able to fit that into my school schedule. I am already questioning if I want to even go to an engineering school in a few weeks. If I go blind, how am I going to accomplish anything. It is so sad that I am dropping out of collage, I worked so hard to get the position I have. I need to come up with a new career, somehow.

     Today is therapy day, this is the first time going, I don't know what to expect, I don't  know what they are going to ask me, this makes me anxious. I get dressed anyway, today my vision is terrible, I can barely see anything. The apartment the government gave me is a one floor place, it is most likely because my vision. As I am feeling in the fridge for an apple to eat before I go, I get a knock on the door. I use the walls to feel for the door and open it. I see the light from the noon sun as I open it, It makes my face feel warm. Then I hear a voice that oddly sounds soothing.

Andy: Hello, my name is Andy, are you Autumn?

Autumn: Yes I am, did you want something?

Andy: Yes, I was asked by your therapist to accompany you so you don't need to drive.

Autumn: Does he think I can't take care of myself?

Andy: Oh.. Um... I don't think so, are you going blind though? 

Autumn: Yes...does that mean I can't take care of my own body?

Andy: I never meant it like that, its just that I see why he asked me to drive you.

    Whoever this boy is, I don't like him, but apparently I can't walk their myself -_-

Andy: Ok, so I will guide you to my car then

    He touches my cold hand, his feels so warm, He takes me outside and he places my hand on a car handle. We drive to the therapist without even talking to each other.
