Dearly Beloved

--> Eighteen

~~

My eyes popped open, and for a moment I forgot all about my vision, and I wanted to see you more than anything in the world.

Max..?

Silence. Had I imagined it all?
No that voice, was what too surreal.

Then a breathe left me motionless.
I sure hope this Max, is a good lad to be compared to.

I sighed in disappointment. Who are you?

This voice was so real. This voice was so much like yours.

Dearly Beloved, who was this? Was this your soul with a different shape?

Why don't you tell me, more about you Ezzy?

I flinched when he called me Ezzy. No one had called me Ezzy since... since you.

Why did you call me Ezzy?
I had the valor to ask.

Ezra seems like I'm screaming at you, don't you think so? Ezzy sounds more genuine. It's kinder and don't get me wrong you have a beautiful name, but Ezzy is the name for your type.

What was this? He didn't even know me and he acted as if he did.

Who are you?

I'm Matt. Matt Hensen, at your service beautiful.

No. No! No! No...

Tears steamed. No! it couldn't be. That voice, that name. No.

Are you okay, Ezzy?

Don't. Call. Me. That. You don't know me! you don't know who I am! leave!

This wasn't life.

Clam down I'm your new tutor Ezra. If you prefer me to call me Ezra I will but please calm down. I want to be friends.

No! I don't want a friend. I just want to be alone! Give me some peace for once. Please!

Silence.

I felt someone kneel beside me. Ezra I know what you've been through. I know what it all feels like. I know. And believe me I want nothing but to help you.

How could he be so cynical. How can anyone make any type of reference of him knowing what I felt. No one absolutely, no one knows nor will anyone ever know what and how I feel.

You know nothing absolutely nothing. Do you hear me nothing.

I quickly stand up and trip over something. I begin falling back and before I can stop myself an arm is wrapped around my waist.

Ezra I am not your enemy. If you don't want to be friends, okay but I was hired to be your tutor, and I am going to be your tutor.

Great. What do you think I need a tutor for huh? I know I'm incapable. I can't see okay. I'm not useful to the world, and I'm so aware of it. I'm completely aware of it!

Well I'll let you in on a secret. He said, so am I.
