When he sees me (logicality)

17.Appointment

Patton's (pov)

I am so NERVICITED! Nervous and excited smushed together. Today is the day of my first appointment for the eye surgery. I'm not entirely sure what to expect but I know Logan is going to be picking me up! After all that's happened me and Logie have been attached at the hip. But unfortunately, he had to go but he'll be back any minute. Won't he? He won't leave me again. Would he? Of course he wouldn't. "Pat?" I feel Virgil tap my shoulder and pause whatever cartoon was playing off and sit next to me on the couch. "You ok?" I nod "I'll be fine just..." I trail off not really knowing how to explain my thoughts "Just?" He presses on "Its just....What if Logan doesn't come back? What if he truly doesn't love me. I'm blind for gods sake. I can't even see his face." Virgil puts his arm around me whilst I lean my head on his shoulder "He wouldn't be doing this if he didn't love you Pat and if he does hurt you, well we'll move." He says "Why would we move?" I ask. Getting confused "So they won't find out I murdered him." I giggle slightly "Feeling better?" I nod against his shoulder sitting in comfortable silence until. Three knocks at the door.

I tap my foot nervously on the floor as Logan talks to the person working at the desk in the hospital. I can feel the burning eyes staring at me. I get it almost everywhere but in a hospital it just seems more threatening. Suddenly I feel a tug on my trouser leg. "Mister?" Wait. That sounds like a kid. I do my best to look down at the child "Me?" I ask pointing to myself "Yep!" He says popping the p. I smile down at him "Momma says you can't see. Is that true?" I hold the cane in my hand a bit tighter at that. "Yes your Mommas right kiddo." There's a slight pause until "Momma says I'm not gonna be able to see one day because of a d-disease. What's it like?" My heart shattered at that. Such an innocent child asking such an awful question. I kneel down using my cane for support and put a hand on his shoulder "It's difficult sometimes. But you can meet amazing people." I feel them start moving as if jumping up and down "Really?" He asks excitedly "You betcha. You even get to learn a whole new language and even get a dog." I could practically feel his smile as I told him that. Suddenly I feel something hit my chest "Thank you mister!" I feel tears in my eyes as I realise he's hugging me. "Anytime kiddo." I say hugging him back. God bless this child. "Patton?" I hear Logan say. The kid pulls off me and I stand up. "Who's this?" He asks "I'm Lewis!" The child says happily. "There you are!" Another voice says only this time it's female. "Come on we have to get your check up done." She says once again "But momma! I want to talk with mister and his friend." I smile at that. "I know sweetie but-Oh." The woman seems to have noticed my cane. "It's fine miss. He was curious. I can only wish you two the best of luck." I turn back to Logie "Ready?" He takes my arm with his "Always." We walk away from the small family bracing ourselves for the appointment.

"Patton Smith?" I hear a male voice call. I feel Logan stand up and he helps me up with him. He helps me through what seems like never ending corridors. Until we enter a room where he sits me down never letting go of my hand. "Do you how do?" I tilt my head to the side "Sorry. I love cartoons. My name is Dr Picani. You are Patton and Logan correct?" I nod "Great! So we want to get your sight back. As of now how much can you see?" He asks "Nothing right now. But I can see shadows. I'm not fully blind." I hear a small scribble and Logan squeezes my hand. I smile up at him and he kisses my cheek. "Alrighty! Were you born blind?" I shake my head "So how did you become blind?" I freeze up. No one but Virgil truly knows. "Patton dear? It's ok your safe." I nod and take a deep breathe "When I was ten Mam, Dad, me and my brother Virgil were driving home after a family dinner. It was late and were just singing the newest Disney song." I smile at the memory but it quickly falls. "Then there was a driver. A drunk driver. He" I take one last deep breathe "He hit our car. Mam and Dad died on impact. Whilst Virgil wrapped around me to protect me. He ended up with more than too many broken bones and I blacked  out and never saw a different colour other than it."  I finish up squeezing Logan's hand. "Ok. So I'm assuming you hit the back of head causing the blindness." I nod. "Okie dokie. If I'm being honest this should be easy to fix. All you'll need is some strong lenses for your glasses." I hear some typing of of keys "You two are free to go." We get up from our seats walking back through the corridors in complete silence.

Until "Why didn't you tell me." I stop walking all together as does Logan. "I was scared." I whisper barely audible. He sighs walking round to the front of me pushing my cane to the side so I have to rely on him. "I love you. Remember that. Don't be scared to tell me anything." I smile getting more and more excited about being able to see his "I love you too."
