"What's it like to be blind?"
"What's it like to see?"
"I asked you first."
"But I'm the one visually impaired."
"You're impossible... It's not exciting, but when you see something truly beautiful, it's inspiring. You're in awe every time you see it and there's always something new to see."
"Yes, of course. But being blind isn't any of that, obviously. I can see different colors colliding together and then making another pattern, a perfect geometric pattern. And I can't stop it, it's always there. I can't see anything but color and memory."
"Yeah, well... I see you."
"...and I see you."

After her many encounters with Will, Lane wanted to start learning more about him. What he thought about, what books he read, what his opinions were on things, what was out there for him. But honestly, he really didn't know. He was blind, there weren't that many job opportunities for him, he hardly had any friends, and he was partially bullied. Then Lane came along, she pulled Will out of the darkness (not literally, of course) and helped him believe in himself. And eventually, they started believing in each other.

Cherish The Moments We Had Together
Cherish The Moments We Had Together A Story of Second Chances and New Beginnings When Ethan Collins is uprooted from everything familiar-his hometown, his friends, his girlfriend-and transplanted to Westwood in the middle of junior year, he's convinced his life is over. Armed with bitter resentment and a long-distance relationship he's determined to maintain, he arrives at Westwood High expecting nothing but misery. What he finds instead is a world that refuses to let him wallow. There's Andy, the effortlessly charismatic athlete who won't take no for an answer. Dayna Prescott, the mysterious "Westwood royalty" who seems to have her own agenda. And a cast of characters who all seem to know who he is before he's even introduced himself-courtesy of his surgeon mother's growing legend and his lawyer father's rising star. Ethan doesn't want a fresh start. He wants his old life back. But as boxes get unpacked and unfamiliar hallways become navigable, he begins to realize that maybe-just maybe-being forced to rebuild isn't the end of his story. It might be the beginning of something he never knew he needed. This is a story about the messy reality of starting over. About the guilt of moving forward when part of you wants to stay stuck. About discovering that sometimes the worst thing that can happen to you opens the door to the best thing you never saw coming. Not every ending is an ending. Sometimes it's just an uncomfortable new chapter. Disclaimer: This work is a completely original piece of fiction.

She Is Blind
There are two of us. I have two eyes. It is enough for us. "Never did I think somebody who was physically able would be able to love me in the past. I always thought it would be someone blind just like me, who could understand what it meant to be blind." she continued. "I am blindly in love with you. Whoever said love is blind was thinking of me" I replied. She used her hand to feel around my face, and it finally rested on my cheek. I smiled and placed my hand on hers, closing my eyes to savour the feeling. I was enjoying it until I felt a teardrop on my face and when I looked up, I saw she was crying. "What is wrong my love?" I asked, raising my head from her lap and looking straight in her face. "Don't you feel ashamed of being in love with a blind girl? Don't you think Blessing is better for you? Don't you get scared that your friends will mock you, What if everybody..."Complete

What he did enraged me so much that I threw my hardest punch at his face, forcing his head to snap to the side. "If you ever touch him again--" before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed my arm and slammed me against the wall. "If I touch him again, what?!" he shouted, his face inches from mine, as I trembled with rage.
