Why Us?

Blind

     I woke up and got out of bed. I went into the bathroom and showered. I did my makeup and got dressed. I walked out and saw Aaron lying in bed. Things were hard for him since he lost his sight. I helped him with everything I could but it was still hard. I hadn't told him about the fact I was pregnant. I found out a little bit before things went wild on the island. I was planning on telling him there but then all hell broke loose. It's not like he could look at me and tell I was pregnant. I went over and sat down next to him. He reached over and put his arm around me. He pulled me into him. I smiled and kissed his forehead. 

     "Good morning," I said caressing his cheek. 

     "Good morning," He said quietly. He wasn't a happy guy anymore. He was always so quiet and sad. 

     "How did you sleep?" I asked.

     "Ok, I guess," He said.

     "I love you," I said kissing him.

     "Love you, too," He said. 

     "Do you need to shower?" I asked.

     "Yeah," He said.

     "Alright, come on," He put his arm around me. I helped him to the bathroom. He had figured out most of where everything was so I could leave him to shower and he was fine. He would call for me once he needed me. All I would do was sit on the bed and wait for him. He called for me to get him some clothes. I walked into his closet and got him some clothes. I walked over to him and helped him get dressed. I helped him down the stairs, which was always scary, and sat him on the couch. I sucked at cooking but he knew I tried. I made eggs. They looked ok and tasted ok. I brought them to Aaron and we ate in silence. Aaron also had to deal with losing both of his parents. Melissa was living in one of our two pair rooms. She walked downstairs and smiled at me.

      "Good morning," She smiled.

      "Good morning," I said.

      "Good morning," Aaron said tiredly. Melissa got a plate of the eggs and sat down on the other side of Aaron. I hugged Aaron as a tear ran down his cheek.

      "Hey, it's ok," I said wiping his tears.

      "It's just hard to think about the fact I'll never see you two's faces... ever," He said. I hugged him and kissed him. 

      "It's going to be ok," I said hugging him. He put his hand in my hair and held me tightly.

      "I love you," He said still crying.

      "I love you too," I smiled.
