Chapitre Veinticuatro.
My doctor had told me that anything could trigger my vision blackouts. From excitement to nervousness to anger or sadness.
And that's what happened right at this moment.
When Tyler's lips connected with mine, I was just about to kiss him back, but my vision turned back. At first, I thought I was closing my eyes, but I could feel myself blinking.
Was I excited? Was I nervous? I have no idea, but Tyler was really upset when my hands connected with his shoulders and shoved him off.
"Oh." Was all he said. I wanted to laugh, to show him that everything was okay, and that I wanted to kiss him. But I couldn't. I was too scared. I wasn't used to my vision just leaving like that, and I surely wasn't ready at the moment.
I did like him. Did I? I really didn't know, but all I knew was that I did want to kiss him.
"Tyler, it's not what you think." I say, emotions of all sorts, making my voice sound deep. I could still feel him on the bed, and I tried turning my eyes up, so it looked, hopefully, like I was looking into his eyes, or his face.
"You obviously like Daniel, what more is there to think about?!" He said, the disgust and sadness clear in his voice. I felt guilty, of course. But, it's not like I could do anything about who I liked. And plus, I was very fond of Tyler.
"What does that have to do with anything?" I question him, why was it such a problem liking Daniel?
"He's a liar-" Tyler paused, taking a deep breath, like he was holding something back. Then he muttered, "Shit, he has to tell her on his own." He said it so quietly, like I wasn't suppose to know. As I opened my mouth to say something, he inturrupted.
"Why are you looking over there?"
"Well," I breathed out, letting the breath I had been holding, out into the air. "It's a long story." I laugh under my breath, and begin telling him about my condition. Tyler was a very easy person to talk too, and I was happy to tell him. I could feel him nodding, and I was overjoyed when he grabbed my hands, showing his concern even if I couldn't see him.
"I'm so sorry, Sky, I didn't kn-"
"Guys! What's taking so long?" Daniel's voice came out from downstairs. He was shouting and I groaned silently, as my vision hadn't returned yet.
"Thanks for listening, Ty, but can you just uhm," I wince slightly as a headache starts coming on, luckily, it wasn't too bad. I stood up from the edge of my bed, and I heard Tyler get up too. "Help me down the stairs?"
He laughed, but didn't say anything. At first, I thought that maybe he would just walk out, as a sick, Tyler joke, but after a minute, he took his hand into mine and led me to the stairs.
"Okay, I think it's a good idea if we practice you walking down the stairs when you can't see," Tyler explains. I put a hand in front of me, and my heart jumps out of chest when I realize that I'm at the complete edge of the staircase, only stairs ahead of me. "That way, when you do lose your eyesight, you'll know the basics."
I almost cried when I realized how much Tyler did care and wanted to help me. No one, not even my parents, have had that much hope for me.
"Where's the railing?" I ask, putting my hands back out in front of me, but Tyler guides them to the left of me, where I feel a hard handle under my palm.
"Right here." His voice was so close to my ears, I could almost smell his pizza breath. "Now, you have to trust me," I found myself nodding my head, and taking a step foward, gripping the handle hard, and taking Tyler's hand into my right hand.
"That's it, now take another step."
I felt confident, and I took a rather large step down, and I slipped. I thought that I was about to meet my death, but Tyler's hand scooped me back up. My heart was racing, as I just had a near death experience, but then I realized that this was my life now. I would have to get used to it.
"It's okay," Tyler cooed. "I got you."
And he did.

I woke up on that bright and early Monday morning with a foot in my face.
"Ew!" I screeched, my body jerking away from the huge, hairy foot. I jerked a little too hard, and I came tumbling into the hardwood floor, my body making a huge thumping sound.
"What time is it?" Tyler asked, stretching, and looking at me, who was on the floor, with no surprise on his face. "Tsk tsk, Sky," He tutted me. "So, so clumsy."
"Shut up, you put your foot in my face." I grumble, lying down on the floor because I was too lazy to get up.
"Was it big?"
"Yeah, and hairy."
"You do know what they say about big feet, right?" Tyler asks, smirking.
"Big socks?" I joked.
"Big dick." He corrected me, still smirking.
I make a face, and he laughs, waking up the still sleeping Daniel, who was now rubbing his eyes. I was just about to answer Tyler but then Daniel got up and stretched.
His abs just hanging all over the place, and I immediately got distracted.
Why do guys always wake up looking so sexy, but girls look like they were just beaten with the ugly stick?

Mondays were always busy for me.
They were, after all, my weekly check up with the doctor at the hospital.
Tyler and Daniel insisted on taking me, just in case I experienced another black out with my visions while driving. My parents weren't home yet from their 'weekend getaway' and Veronica was probably nursing a hangover at some random guys house.
Daniel was driving, with me in the front seat, and Tyler acting like a child in the back.
"But I wanted the front seat, Sky," He whined. I rolled my eyes and turned up the music. I grinned and turned it up more when I realized it was one of my favorite indie songs. (A/N: Song on side!)
We were all tapping to the beat and dancing in our seats, singing along to the radio. But, sadly, we were at the hospital in less than 10 minutes.
As we walked up into the hospital, I remembered that their sister is in the hospital, but I didn't know if I should bring the topic up. Ah, screw it.
"If you guys wanted to go visit your sister, you can..." I trail off, trying to be nonchalant. Daniel opened his mouth to speak but Tyler cut him off.
"Ah, yes, we'll be back here in 20." And before I knew it, they were gone.
But what caught my attention was them walking into the adult comatose patients, not the childrens comatose section.
What the hell was going on?
