Kellin

I woke up with a really painful headache stabbing in my head. It was so painful that I shed tears the second I felt it.

It was unbearable so I screamed. I didn't know if it was useful as I wasn't sure if people would even hear me at all. I didn't acknowledge where I was since the pain didn't give me a chance to look around my surroundings.

By the second my head felt like it was about to explode, someone came and calmed me with their soft hand. I was totally out of it, panicked because the pain I felt, felt like it was eating my head slowly, torturously.

The hand hushed me and caressed my cheeks even though it's voice was frantically calling a doctor. I was in a hospital, I noted. I didn't dare to open my eyes since I knew the pain would rage on me so I kept it close and let the hands calmed me.

I didn't know why would I let someone that I couldn't see touch me. But somehow, it felt right and comfortable so I let it be.

A sound of a door being opened and came in rushing steps coming towards me. I began to became anxious and cautious. "Why's my head hurt? I can't open my eyes! It's hurting!" I screamed in panicked. I started to scratched and clawed at something I assumed bandage that was wrapped around my head to get rid of the pain but then my hands were being held firmly.

The calming hand came again along with it's soothing voice. "Hey Kells, baby. It's okey. I'm here. Calm down now you'll be alright," he spoke.

Vic.

I knew it was Vic. He was here. Tears started to streamed down my face despite it being closed. I couldn't believe he would show up to see me. Too bad, I was the one who wasn't able to see him, hopefully for a moment.

"Vic?! You're here? Vic, please don't leave. I'm sorry, it was a mistake! Kate-" Before I could choke out more words, the nagging headache stabbed me even deeper making me screamed in pain and held my head so tight that I started to feel wet liquid coming out from inside the bandage.

"Vic? What's happening? What's this? Oh my- Is this blood? Why am I bleeding?!" I smelt the liquid from my hand and swung it everywhere to reach Vic. Fortunately, he came to me and hugged me.

"Hey hey, now. Shh. It's okey, baby. You gotta calm down for me. They're gonna wipe the blood first and give you your meds okey? Please calm down, I'm here. Don't worry," Vic held my hand and intertwined it with mine, holding it tight like it'd be the last time we'd ever hold hands. I nodded and lied down slowly, by the help of Vic's hands.

The people let go of my hands and lifted my head a bit to unwrap the bandage and probably change it into a new one since the old one got stained with my blood. Vic then rubbed his thumb on my palm and opened my hand. "Here, your meds and I'll give you a cup of water," he spoke calmly.

I took the little medication and took a glass of water that Vic led my finger's touched. Five minutes gone and the pain I felt just now seemed to erased itself slowly. Wow that was fast, I thought. They weren't kidding when they said they were going to give me painkiller.

I poked my eyes slowly and felt that it was being wrapped with bandage too. My heart dropped, why did they wrapped my eyes?

"Vic, I want to see you," I faced down. I heard someone that was not Vic cleared his throat and stepped near me. "I'm sorry Mr. Quinn but for now your visions are not yet completely heal. You hit your head pretty bad in that accident..." I took the words in before I heard the last sentence, "...resulting you to lost one of your eye sight along with the eyeball too. Don't worry we've readied you an eye, glass eye to be specific,  that would look exactly the same as your original, just slightly lighter in colour and we'd show you how to use it once you're ready."

I burst into tears. All those words he had said made me cried hysterically. I was in an accident.. I was drunk and I was driving so fast, too fast. I could've never seen Vic again or any of my friends ever again, I thought. My sobs were getting louder so maybe that was why the doctor who were speaking just now talked to Vic saying that he'd leave the two of us alone, to calm me and to take all of this situation in slowly.

My cry calmed when I felt the bed sunk beside me and a warm body wrapped itself around me. I instantly comforted myself and as quick as it came, found a comfy spot to laid my head on, his chest, and started to nuzzled my head on it.

I was about to sleep but I felt that lips kissed my head and inhaled the scent of my hair. I smiled and sunk myself deeper into his chest, hugging him tighter.  I thought I would lost him after what he had saw of the thing that was happening between me and Kate but look, he'd come even though I knew the only reason he came wouldn't be because he wanted to. Someone forced him, most likely. I knew his ego was incompetent and he'd never give someone a chance this easy.

I thanked whoever it was that persuade Vic to come back to me.

I woke up by the lights shown from the opened curtain, I mean yeah I couldn't see but I still could make up where lights come from around a room, and felt the space that was once occupied by Vic beside me. It was empty now so I frowned and just when I thought to open my eyes, a little stinging pain felt on my left eye socket, where my eyeball suppose to be.

I tried not to panic and laid myself down again and let out a heavy huff. How was I going to live my life if I couldn't see?

Was this how it felt like to be blind? Was it always felt so lonely, scary and somehow felt like the space around you were closing in making you feel like you were in a very small box?

Without realising, my breath became heavy by seconds. I grabbed the sheets that was anywhere near my hands and held it tight. I didn't know what was happening but I was anxious and I didn't like it so I panicked and this kind of panic I was going through on right now was not the kind where I could  just call someone for help.

This one felt like you were suffocating and drowned in water. You'd try to call for help but then it would hurt your chest so I grabbed the sheets tight, so tight that my knuckles turned blue.

That was where I realised, I passed out.

When I woke up I could see. I could see again but not with two eyeballs. Just one.

Even though I could only see with one eye, I felt like something filled the empty eye socket. I blinked slowly again, making the blur-ish faded.

When my eye sight finally cleared and I could see more clearly now, I just wished I was back to blind again or that my eyes were wrapped with bandage because there I saw

Kate.
