When I was 15 I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa. It makes it where I can barely see, the role world around me was blurry. They said I probably would be legay blind when I was at least 45. I'm currently 31, and living my life to the fullest. I found out I had a nic for music when I was in high school. I took up the guitar, piano, and cello. I could also sing. I started a band called The Tragic Rejects. I was the lead singer, since no one else wanted to. I had 5 other band members that I started the band with. There was Alex, the drummer. Kyle, the bass player. Kassandra, one of the two guitarist. And Rota, the second guitarist.
These 5 were like my family, we've been to hell and back. We all went to Elementary school together, so we we're pretty close. Of course we had our differences, and it sometimes got in the way. But we always put it aside for the fans. We started the band to help change peoples lives, to help kids with their problems. We did a lot of charity concerts, to help raise money for many different charities.
We were doing one in a few hours with another band, called Hollywood Undead. I've heard a few of their songs, but not a whole bunch. I'm usually in the recording studio or in my shared apartment with Kassandra. Since my condition makes it to were I can barely see, I have to live with someone. I always felt like a burden, but Kassandra said otherwise. I can do some things on my own, like eat, change, and shower. But most I can't.
I could have the surgery to have my eyes fixed, but I just never had the time. We had another record coming out in two weeks, we were playing concerts non-stop, and our manager started talking about a tour. I opposed the idea because of certian reasons, but it didn't matter. No matter how much I protest they just do what ever they wanted to. "Earth to Arlene!" I heard a deep voice say from my left.
I turned my head and saw a tall blurry figure, standing there, 11 other figures behind them. I was currently just sitting on stage of where the concert was gonna be held. I stood up and turned my body to face them, "Sorry Ky. I was just thinking about some stuff." I explained and fixed my sunglasses.
Yes, I'm wearing sunglasses. I wear them so people don't get freaked out by my eyes. I mean thet looked perfectly fine, but they were a dull color from the blindness. "It's fine. We just came to get you. The other band is here, and I thought that we could all get to know each other." Kyle replied, grabbing my hand.
I simply nodded and smiled,"Sure. I don't mind."
I felt Kyle bend down, his hands on my thighs. I jumped onto his back, locking my arms around his neck tightly. Feeling him stand up, I smiled a bit. Kyle always carried me everywhere so I wouldn't fall. Plus he gave like the best piggy back rides ever. "To the ice cream shop we go!" I heard Rota yell.
I giggled as Kyle started to walk away from the stage. I rest my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, humming one of our songs softly. I felt a cold wind hit my face, we were outside. I tightened my grip slightly and buried my face in his neck.

I smiled as I heard a bell ring from in front of me and Kyle. One of his hands left my thighs real quick, before taking its place again. I slid down his back, landing on my feet. I was wearing a pair of black vans that Alex bought me. My ripped skinny jeans fitted me in all the right spots, making my ass pop out. Rota bought me these jeans, and she loved looking sexy and shit like that. Me on the other hand just like to wear sweats and a big T-shirt. I flattened my Markiplier tank-top that I bought a few months ago. I loved Markipiler, his voice was just so dreamy. Now I wasn't one of those die hard fans of his, I just simply enjoyed him. Feeling a hand grab mine, I looked to my right,"It's just me." Kassandra said and squeezed my hand.
I felt her tug me somewhere, and soon we were sitting in a booth. I heard Kyle and Alex ordering ice cream for all of us as multiple people sat down. I squirmmed a bit and pushed back my dark brown hair. It looks black but, its really dark brown. I heard Alex and Kyle getting closer, their voices in a whisper. I heard glass being sat down on the table,"Here we go!" Kyle enthused, sitting down somewhere.
