The world is darkness...And the light is a boy who lives in the dark.

Finally he seemed to finish his counting and started storming off, his lips still buzzing as he walked, stopping directly in front of the nurse's office before knocking almost shyly. I wanted to break that frail little hand. What made him so fucking special? "Rylan, sweetie, is it another headache?" A plump red head in unicorn print scrubs asked, petting his head and shoulder. "Is it your eyes, do you need some drops?"
"Um, a punch to the eye actually," he murmured lowly, as if embarrassed, "so drops, some pain killers and ointment would be nice." The nurse took off his mirrored shades, and I gasp as his corpse blue eyes and milky pupils, ringed in a pale violet imprint of my fist hit me full force. He slammed his eyes closed again, wincing at the pain of his black eye.
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!
"What the actual hell, man, why are your eyes like that?!" I yelled, approaching him quickly before the nurse shot me a filthy look, making me stop short of him.
He growled, whipping around and fixing those dead eyes on me, making my throat slam shut. "Because, I'm blind, you ass!"
No.
No, fuck, did I really let my temper get the better of me that I beat up a blind kid? Not just a blind kid...I took him in from top to toe, The long blonde curls that lay on his skinny chest, over his paint spattered, pale blue hoodie that I now noticed looked old and worn thin, drooping to nearly the middle of his thighs, his jeans looked like they'd been black about a hundred washes ago were now a worn sickly grey and covered in what was slowly dawning on me, not artistically purposed iron-on patches. His boots were peeling away from their tread and the laces had knots all through them, telling a sad story of being tied together for lack of means to be replaced, all hanging off his slightly too skinny body. I had beaten up a cute, sweet, piss poor little blind kid.
Over a fucking desk.
"How dare you!!"
His stare and cold voice made me step back with fear scared of what he will do
"You clumsy woman!! Keep those disgusting hands of yours steady or go die somewhere!! How dare you hurt her!! Do you even know who she is!!"
"Alessandro..stop..it's alright.."
Andrea pleaded from behind but he continued
"Lowlives like you don't even deserve to step into a place like this bit we were generous to offer you this job....but You being an ungrateful brat couldn't do one thing right.......Hell you can't even walk properly how come you were hired for this job!!"
Endless tears were flowing down my cheeks as he continued to reprimand me
"Alessandro..please...stop"
"No Andrea I will not stop..can't you see what she did.....You are too innocent and generous... you don't know girls like her.....they envy you and when they can't compete against you they engage in these dirty tactics .....bloody disgusting people...."
I looked up into his eyes ....my eyes asking him if this is what he thought of me...
I was never this low...
How could he even think I did this deliberately!
"Oh my god...your hand..."
Andrea said looking at my hand
I looked down to see my entire hand turned red with blisters everywhere.
I felt numb earlier but now as I saw my wound I started feeling the suppressed pain I was controlling.
My tears betrayed me not just because of his words but also from the pain of my burn.
Andrea rushed towards me with a worried look on her face
"Maria..bring ..the coolant hurry..we need to call the doctor.."
She was something else
So pure and caring
My eyes lifted to see Ando
He had a expression I couldn't decipher
His eyes were fixed on my burn but I couldn't tell if he was worried or not.
But soon that expression was gone as he turned around and left.
I looked at his retreating back wondering since when did he become so heartless.
Everything is fair in love and war
And this my friends is a war of broken hearts.
