Dark shadow- Sideswipe bayverse story-

Chapter 14. Bullying

My mysterious bully kept searching for me as soon as the twins left. She still hadn't told me her name but she loved to make fun of me. All I knew was that she's new here and obviously loves to bully a blind person. 'Hello, Skylar.' I growled as she wrapped her arm around me and smashed me against the wall. 'Have you seen the weather outside? Oh, sorry... you can't.' I rolled my blind eyes. 'Your jokes are getting old,' I grumbled. She tackled me on the ground. 'You will never have a normal life... you will never be able to do the things you always did... or join N.E.S.T... I heard you wanted to join them before you got blind,' she said. I sighed softly and got up. It has always been my dream to fight along the Autobots. Ironhide promised me to teach me as soon as I finished my senior year. What am I going to do now? Who wants a blind person? Fear clutched onto my stomach. I never thought about it before.

The soldier hit me in my face. 'Leave me alone,' I whimpered and pushed her away from me. 'You're too slow,' she mocked. She kicked against my knee, sending me back towards the ground. A nasty pain entered my knee. 'I have to go, see you later Skylar,' she said before walking off. I sat down against the wall for a moment. Not only because of the pain but also because she made me realized I am useless. Sadness overwelmd me. What can I do? Not just work but also a boyfriend. How can I ever get a boyfriend if I am blind? I will never be able to keep up with the things he loves to do. I sighed and rubbed my forehead before I hoisted myself up and limped back to my room. At least I wasn't desoriëntated. I hurried my face in my hands for a moment, closing my eyes, even I was blind.

After what seemed like forever, I hoisted myself up and walked off,— back to my room before someone would see me like this and start asking questions.

An hour later, Sideswipe walked in. 'Hey, Skylar... I am bored. Want to play a cardgame?' he asked. 'Sideswipe? Uhm...' I sat up. 'You're okay?' he asked. I gave a small nod and sat back down against the pillows again. 'Yeah, I feel fine,' I mumbled. 'You don't look like you're fine,' he said. 'What do blind people in their careers? What kind of job am I supposed to do? Why would anyone hire me?' I asked. 'Oh, sweetspark. Don't worry too much about that...' he said and wrapped his arm around me. 'No, I am serious about it, Sideswipe. I would start my training here this summer... after my final exams... but I can't... because I am blind,' I said. Sideswipe hummed, 'there are plenty of jobs you can do at the work. Maybe not in the field but I bet there are things you can do,' he stated. I gave a small nod. 'What about a boyfriend? Why would anyone pick me? I will never be able to do the same things as he does... what if I will be alone for the rest of my life because I am blind?'

'That's ridiclious, Skylar. I can name up a lot of things why someone would date you. I know you're scared for the future, but don't worry about it, okay?' he asked and brushed some strands from my face. I gave a small nod. I hugged him and closed my blind eyes. 'You'll be okay, sweetspark. Don't worry,' he said, rubbing my back softly. I gave a small nod and pecked his cheek. 'Come on.' Sideswipe helped me up and brought me towards the cafetaria. 'I made you a cake,' he said. I smiled, 'thank you... that's so sweet,' I mumbled. He sat down in front of me and took a piece himself as well. 'I thought... maybe it can cheer you up a little bit,' he said. I snorted, 'I am not sad, Sideswipe,' I stated. 'No?' he asked. I shook my head and took a bite of the pie he made me. 'It's good.'

'Of course it is,' he purred. A smile formed on my lips again. Sideswipe started talking about a new game and I listened carefully. Sunstreaker joined after twenty minutes as well. 'Hey, Sunny,' I greeted and smiled. He turned my head into his direction. I sighed. 'It's fine,' he said and kissed my head. 'Where were you?' Sideswipe asked. 'Drawing,' he replied. 'What did you draw?'
'Some portraits,' he replied. I loved drawing and painting. I was quite frustrated I couldn't draw and paint anymore. Sunstreaker wrapped his arm around me and pulled me on his lap in one single move. 'Are you hurt?' he asked. I frowned, 'why do you ask?' I questioned. 'Sideswipe told me you are limping a little,' he said. 'It's nothing. Don't worry about it,' I said and waved it off. I retreated back to the bed and laid down, listening.

'Hey, sweetspark?' I hummed. 'You'd like eat pizza tonight?' Sunstreaker asked. 'I am not really hungry honestly.' I felt the mattress dip. 'Hey, where's my happy girl?' Sunstreaker purred. I forced a smile on my face. I grabbed him and leaned into him. 'You're gonna be okay,' he mumbled. 'How would you feel if you can't draw anymore?' I mocked. 'You can still draw.' He guided me back up and sat down behind his desk. I sat down on his lap and grasped the pencil he pushed in my hand. 'What do you wanna draw?' He asked. 'I used to draw a lot of cats.'

He grabbed my hand and started to make shapes. A smile spread over my face. Sunstreaker's grip on my hand was firm, but not unpleasant. A warm feeling spread through my body. I might lost my sight, but I got the twins in return.
