Blind

Chapter Two •The New Beauty•

Jack

(Jack above)

Just like any other day i'm sitting in the attic reading a magazine that the realtor had left on the coffee table this morning. To tell you this magazine was boring would be an understatement, Justin bieber this! Donald Trump did that! Wow, I really don't care. Why I was reading this I have no clue, just something to do to keep me entertained as I enjoy the wonderful afterlife.

Who may I be? well I'm Jack. I'm a Ghost, have been for about Fourteen years now going to be 15 in about 7 months. I died when I was 26 so I still look like how I did before I died; medium length brown hair that kinda just flops on top of my head,green eyes and a muscular body. Now I don't normally show myself in front of people who are actually alive expect when I scare the fuck out of them when they trespass in my house. It's funny to see them lose their minds and run out of the front door screaming for their lives.

I love this house, especially how the new owners fixed it up, I mean this is the place I grew up and died in it deserves to be treated like the old jewel that it is.

I was dragged out of my thoughts by the sound of a car pulling up in the driveway. I placed the magazine on the floor, got out of my cushy old recliner and walked to the window looking out the window to the newly paved driveway.

A black Toyota Corolla was parked in the driveway in front of the house with the owners Son holding a door open as he talked to someone in the car.

"Bella we're here" the Son said. Who the fuck is Bella? I thought as I watched a small hand grab his big one and he healed them out of the car.

To tell you she was just beautiful would be an exaggeration.She was stunning. The way the sun reflected off her blonde hair making it look like gold was woven into it. The way he sweater and jeans highlights the details and curves of her body. The meat sight of her has me mesmerized.

She took out what looked like a metal stick with a plastic capped end and held it next to her as her and her brother slowly walked forward. Wait why is he leading her?

Quickly I made my way downstairs watching from a safe distance on the stairs as she's lead into the house

"Okay Bella, there's steps right here, 10 of them" he helped her up the stairs and on the porch. He lead her forward and placed her hand on the wall. Bella traced her fingers over the bumps and nodded her head and he lead her inside and stopped again placing her small hand on the railing. Her fingers went over the small bumps but she had a confused look on her face

"Mark what does the 15 mean,?"

"It means 15 steps Bella. Come on I can't wait to get to your room you'll love it!" You could hear the excrement in his voice,she laughed an angelic like laugh and nodded letting him lead her.

Bella walked up the steps with Mark, me trailing right in front of them as quietly and quickly as possible. I stepped into the room and sat on the bed just as Mark lead her to my old rooms door and let her read the bump sign next to the door. Bella smiled and walked into the room her stick in front of her guiding her through the almost completely bare room. Finally her stick came in contact with the wooden bed frame making a small thud sound. She extended her left hand down to feel the soft fake fluffy fur like sheets and pressed more down on the bed.  I quickly got up and moved to stand next to the window when her her hand got close to touching me.

"Mark are you on the Bed?," she asked feeling around the bed where I was just at.

"No, I'm right behind you why?"Mark was looking at his sister as if she went crazy.

"No reason" and with that she sat down and looked straight at Mark. "Can you describe it for me?"

"Your walls are painted purple with grey out lines, your bed has purple sheets with black pillows.You have a white dresser in the corner with your braille books on them, a white night stand with a lamp and a alarm clock. A walk in closet with your clothes and shoes.There's a bathroom with a toilet in the corner,a sink next to it and a shower, a window to your left beside your bed with a ledge to it. All in all, you got the best room" She smiled at him loving the sound of Her new room.

"Thank you Mark, I love it. Can you please get me some water from down stairs and maybe some chips?" She asked still smiling at him.

"Yeah, I'll be right back" he turned and walked out of the door,leaving it open. I listened to his footsteps go down the stairs and eventually disappear altogether.

She laid down on the bed on her back looking up at the ceiling. I just stood there looking in her eyes when it all snapped together. The bump signs next to the doors that her father put up, the stick, Mark leading her around the house.

Now it all makes sense

This beautiful girl is completely blind.
