I was on the way to school with my parents driving me there. "Appa! I don't wanna go to school!" I pouted, "now you know you have to go to school," he stated as he was driving.

I started to feel angry and kicked the back of his seat multiple times. "Stop it Aera." He demanded, but I didn't listen and continued.

He started waving his hands around the back of the seat to get me to stop, but I didn't. I accidentally kicked his hand to hard and he got mad.

"LEE AERA STOP IT NOW!" He yelled as he turned around in his seat. The next thing you hear is mom yelling, "LOOK OUT!" My father had crashed into a big semi with something hanging from it causing it to slide down on both sides. Glass had gotten into my eyes and I couldn't see.

I fell to the floor and it was all of a sudden quiet. I couldn't see in front of me and so I was scared and hurting. "Appa?! Eomma?!" I called out hoping they would respond.

They didn't.

I heard people screaming and saying things like, "call the ambulance! There's a little girl stuck inside! Someone please help them!" What were they talking about?

I heard the doors open and someone asked for my hand. His voice wasn't at all familiar to me. I couldn't see the man, all I seen was darkness. "My eyes hurt!" I screamed.

The man grabbed me up and walked me some where to sit down. "What's your name?" Another person asked, it was a woman. "Lee Aera."

"I need you to tell me what's wrong." She said softly. "I cannot see anything. I have glass in my eyes and they hurt." I tried to cry but it hurt to do so.

"Okay, we are going to help you Aera." She patted my head. "Where is my Eomma and Appa?!" I asked her.

"I'm sorry kiddo, but your parents haven't made it during the car crash." This news crushed my heart into pieces.

"No, they can't be gone, they said they had to take me to school." I said as I wanted to cry so bad.

~ 7 Years Later ~

I am 15 now and stay in a foster home.

I had to go to sleep because of curfew. When I went to sleep I had a dream. The dream was weird. I had seen 7 very handsome guys standing in a circle around me.

I looked at all of them but one caught my eye. He was tall, with brown eyes, and brown hair that covers his forehead, he was dressed nicely too.

They all were dressed pretty nicely. They stood still and didn't move an inch. Why are they here? "Who are you?" I said as they all raised their fingers to point at me. "We are your guardians, we are going to protect you from your loss of sight."

What does that mean? Guardians? How do they know about my eye sight? In fact I've never had a dream since I lost my sight. Why is it occurring now?

"We can cure your eyes." The one who caught my eye said. "And how would you do that?" I asked.

He walked up to me and grabbed my face and kissed me. It was my first dream kiss ever. It felt real.

I felt a tear shed, just one. I don't understand why I would shed a tear over a kiss. He soon let go and I felt like I was sinking.

I was underwater and felt as if I couldn't breathe. Why is this so real? I tried to scream for help but nothing worked.

I woke up sweating, and gasping for air. What is this feeling? Why am I so confused?

The questions were left unknown. I heard my door open and I looked in the direction of the sound and saw... The man in my dream was standing there. How come I can see him? What's going on?

"Why are you here?! Why can I see you?!" I asked him in search of answers. "I brought you this." He said as he handed me a sketchbook and disappeared into thin air.

Why did he just disappeared? I can't see anything anymore. Am I going crazy?

 Am I going crazy?
