The World I See (Yogscast/ Hatfilms)

Chapter 1: Everyday

Ethery's P.O.V

My eyes open and yet all I could see was blackness with the occasional purple swirls.

Sorry! I didn't properly introduce myself! I am Ethery Faye Lila. My last name Lila means purple, in German, just like my eyes. My hair is black but I dip dyed the ends purple. My skin, I wouldn't know but I was told about my appearance. I have tan skin. I am 26 years old. I am forever alone, afraid to be heart broken. No one wants to be friends of a blind girl in Bristol.

Now this is my story! Everything I know will never explain what my strange eyes see. When I walk its not like nothing moves, its like if I continue walking I can walk pass the swirls and that's what I always do. Slowly and calmly I pulled myself up from the bed trying to picture everything exactly where I had left it.

I place my feet on the ground and stumble around till I find my desk where I layed my clothes out. I only wear plain clothes because I can't see what I pick out and wear. I quickly walked toward where I know the bathroom door is and I walk in and set my clothes on the counter before slipping into the shower and fumbling with the knobs before find the correct temperature and I clean myself up and dry off. I stayed into the bathroom to get dressed before place my hand on where the brush should be. After picking it up I brush the knots and tangles out of my hair and hope I look okay.

I walk until my hand no longer touches the wall. I walk down the hall until I get to where I should turn left into the kitchen. I reached up along the cabinets till the third one and I open it and move about till I feel the small bag of bread and I reach into the fridge and pull out my bologna package to make a quick sandwich. I eat it all and walk into the living room.

You are probably wondering why I am stumbling and being clumsy, You may think its because I am blind. Its that and because I just moved here from Germany.

Well anyways, I reached for my guitar and I feel the strings before plucking them and quickly swinging it up onto my back and walking toward the door and reaching for the knob and pushing it open. I walk out and shut it with a bang as I walk a few feet before reaching out to the tree I can climb here. I rub my hand against the rough bark before reaching up to the slightly cracked limb. I pull myself up with the guitar on my back. I continue feeling my way up the tree until I reach the thick branch that can support me while sitting. I pull myself up trying to keep my feet in perfectly placed spots. I sit down and wait a moment before pulling out my guitar and start strumming to some songs I know.

After playing a few songs and singing to a few, I made the journey down the tree. Once I get down I start to walk along the sidewalk to get to the park. Once I feel the grass from the park I turn and count the steps till I will reach the shady tree. I put my hands out to see if I am correct and which I am. I touch the tree and I sit under it's shade and pull out my guitar and I start strumming to a German Song called "Liebe Wie Du Lugst" (Love The Way You Lie) And I start singing to it in German.

(German Version)

Du stehst nur da

und siehst mich brenn'

doch das is' ok,

denn ich liebe

wie du mich verletzt

du stehst nur da

und hörst mich weinen

doch das is' ok,den ich liebe,

wie du mich belugst

liebe, wie du lugst!

(This is only the first few lines)

(English Version)

Just gonna stand there

and watch me burn

But thats alright

Because I like

The way it hurts

Just gonna stand there

and hear me cry

But thats alright

Because I love

The way you lie

I love the way you lie

I love the way you lie

(Sorry If I spelled or translated anything wrong)

After finishing singing the first few lines, I stopped singing and just played to it. Soon enough the song was over but I kept strumming till I couldn't any more. I layed there for who knows how long but eventually I knew I had to go, so I got up and walked back to where the sidewalk was and followed it for about 30 steps and turned onto my lawn and carefully walked up to the door and walked inside. I searched for the lock for a moment before finding it and locking the door. I walked into the kitchen and started feeling all about for something to eat.

I finally decide to eat a sandwich and some chips.(American meaning) I quickly finish and walk down the hall and almost trip on some boxes that were left there. Quickly I recover and walk over to the left and little bit and fall onto my bed and rest for a while. Eventually my eyes begin to feel droopy and all I still see is blackness but when I close my eyes I see no swirls.
