A/N: I did way to much researched for this. But I learned a lot about blindness. I found out I had used 'the stereotypical blind person' in the beginning, so I changed a lot of things to make it more realistic. I know Zach and Jack sung a part of superstition in meet and greet I think two years ago, does anyone know if it's on YouTube? I couldn't find it.

Zach works in a coffee shop. He was cleaning the counter at this moment as he had nothing better to do. The shop was located somewhere in the not so busy streets of New York. The location made the shop not to well known. Zach liked working in the shop. He can work but only with a small amount of customers. He depended on his hearing the most if the time, and big groups don't make that easy.

Zach threw the paper towel away and sighed.

He let himself finally focus on the music as there were no customers. Or so he thought.

"Sorry I've been standing here for a while now, can I make an order" a male voice asked.

Zach cursed himself, why didn't he hear him come in. He walked back behind the cash register and looked up at the man.

"Sorry I didn't notice you standing there I was just listening to the music. What can I do for you today?" said Zach while looking down searching for his notebook and his pen.

"Uhh... I would like two dark coffee, two iced coffee and a chocolate milk to go please."

Zach hummed while scrabbling the order down. "My colleagues will prepare your drinks, you can sit down if you want."

Zach turned around and lightly touching the wall before finding the serving hatch and pushing the small piece of paper trough it.

Zach turned around and smiled toward the customer. He hadn't heard him moving so he must be at the same place as before.

"Sorry can I ask you a question" the man asked again.

"Yeah of course" answered Zach a little bit too happy.

"Are you blind?"

"Wha-what how did-?" stuttered Zach.

"Easy, I'm shorter that the average guy. You looking above me. Your shearching for a pen and paper while you are looking down. Someone that could see wouldn't have done that. And for the serving hatch goes the same. It also explains why you didn't notice me entering the shop. And why you don't make the drinks yourself while there is literally no one here. It could also be the reason why you didn't recognized me" explained the man.

Zach sighed "I'm blind indeed, what about it? Also why should I know you from?".

Jack stared at him for a second before realizing he probably doesn't have a phone.

"Sorry if I offended you with my question. But I've never seen a blind person working in a shop. And that's something. I travel all the world with my four best friends. We make music. The name's Jack Avery."

Jack leaned forward and drummed with his fingers on the counter. He looked the man up and down. He surely didn't look to bad. For a blind person he looked neatly.

Zach moved a little. If Jack was a singer indeed it would explain the fact that he recognized his voice.

"I might have heard a song of yours but I'm not sure. You didn't offended me with that question. But the most people tell me, when they find out I'm blind, that I shouldn't work in a shop. I just don't get why? I'm human you know, I may not be able to see but I can do other things I'm not invalid."
