“I’m off to school so see you later,” Kyle called as he left the kitchen. “Ow and I don’t know when but James said he call you by the way.”
“Aright thanks. And tell those dicks you call friends hi.” I yelled back, laughing as he slammed the door shut so hard it practically shook the house.
There was only a few minuets of quite time before my phone began ringing like mad, but not the normal ring tone. Nope, Scarlet had her own ring tone now and I could help but laugh as Family Guy’s bag of weed song rang out. I almost didn’t want to answer I was loving it so much but I did because I’m a good person.
“Cyan I need you to come see me.” Scarlet said over the phone before I could even get a word out. “As soon as possible. It’s really important.”
“God please don’t tell me your…” But I couldn’t even finish that sentence.
“No not that, something else. I just feel dreadful about it. But.” She stammered and I could hear her voice as she teared up on the other end of the line. “I just need you here with me ok. Please.”
“Alright, I’m coming over.” I said as I realised she wasn’t dieing, yet at least.

“I’m here to see Scarlet,” I told the nurse at the reception desk. Somehow I’d managed to make it here on my own though I doubted I’d find my way back to Kyle’s.
“Do you need me to take you to her?” The nurse asked me kindly linking my arm with hers as we walked down the hall.
“Cyan.” Her voice said sounding strong as we walked into the room.
“Yere it’s me,” I said giving a little smile that I knew she couldn’t see but that was fine, I’d just fake happy for a bit. Carefully I sat down on her bed and felt around until I grasped her hand. “Scarlet are you ok? I’m really worried about you right now.”
“Cyan I need you to listen to me now ok,” Scarlet said to me as I moved closer to her in her hospital bed. “It’s just that I don’t know how your going to take this and I really like being friends so just please don’t be angry with me because I cant help it and I can honestly say you deserve it more.”
“Angry, why would I be angry?” I asked astonished that Scarlet thought I would ever be angry with her about anything. Then something hit me, maybe she’d been lying to me earlier. “Your not dieing are you? Scarlet seriously your ok right? Because I really need you and I promise I’d do anything you want right now.”
She laughed a little, a sad laugh as if she was covering her bad news with my foolish conclusions. “I’m not dieing, not yet at least. They still don’t know what’s wrong with me but I’m not going to die any time soon. It’s just. Cyan my sight’s coming back. I can see, around the edges is blurry but it’s getting better and it’s only in one eye but I can see again Cyan. I can see you.”
“You, you what?” I asked not sure if I’d herd her right.
“Cyan, I’m not blind any more.” She said talking a deep breath. “I can see you, your blue hair, pale skin, your eyes, everything. Your pretty cute you know.”
“Thanks,” I said still taking in what she was saying. I hated it really, not her just it, the fact that she could see again. Something inside me was screaming about why it wasn’t fair, another part said it should be me, I deserved it, I should be able to see. One part of me wanted to hate her for it while another just wanted me to gouge out her eyes. But then, in the end all I could say was, “I’m happy for you.” She was in hospital so much, she’s been and was going through so much worse than me. I couldn’t make her unhappy by voicing my jealousy. Or was it just my fear. I’d never be able to see, never be able to do exactly what I wanted to do and now she was saying that her problems, ones that once were the same as mine, were now mostly gone. All because she was lucky.
