Blind Judgment
It was a warm day in Waycross of August 2014. I had just found out that Melanie C was taking the place of Howard Stern on America's got talent. She was also to be found to be blind the same day. Curiosly the show had come here. Acquiring tickets I was on my way.
"So we're here." Josh said smiling broadly.
"Yes, this is awesome!" I replied. After wrangling Charlie from Heidi Klum and Mel B, Melanie C finally came out. It was hard to believe she was blind because her eyes were normal. Also she seemed to be glowing. Soon she came sweeping in with her cane and I knew it was true. But I only admired her more. She was strong.
"Is there a problem?" Melanie asked.
"This perv is looking up our dresses." Mel B answered. Melanie approached him. She whipped the cane around and strucked him over and over. He was soon on the ground and she was coming over to us. Then her face softened.
"Is this wanker your friend?" She asked
"Yes but he's stupid. Sorry." I said overwhelmed by meeting her.
"Its ok , but at least you're nice. What's your name?" She asked.
"Janie Mucciolo." I replied still a bit overwhelmed by meeting her.
"Nice to meet you, meet me after the show." She said handing me a scrap paper. The show started and ended quickly. After, I did what the note she handed me and said and made my way to the green room. I found her there waiting. She smiled when I walked in.
"You made it." She said.
"Of course I am." I said.
"I wanted to tell you a few things." She replied. She explained that she was my aunt. She was my mom's sister. My dad hidden this from me. However I wasn't angry.
"Come here I wanna see your face." She said.
"How?" I asked.
"I feel your face." She said extending her left hand, while rubbing her 6month pregnant belly with her right hand.
"Wait if you're blind, why are your eyes normal?" I asked curiously.
"I was born blind." she replied.
"Oh OK, are you pregnant too?" I asked.
"You noticed." She replied smiling.
"Yeah, I can tell." I said.
"You remind me of your mum, and I'm about 6 months." She replied smiling. To my surprise she hugged me suddenly. I was comfortable though. I felt at peace. She smiled, it was wonderful.
"Aunt Mel are you OK?" I asked.
"Yeah, just happy Angel." She answered.
"What did you call me?" I asked
"Angel. Its what I called you when you were little." She answered. With that we left the room together. As we talked she swept her can from side to side. In the opened studio, she seemed lost. She felt someone to guide her. So I stepped in.
"Sorry about this." She said.
"Its OK." I replied. I slowly led her through the studio and into the parking lot. To my surprise her Lexus was there. I was curious. She smiled. That's when she reached for the door.
"How can you drive if you're blind?" I asked.
"My brother Paul made a special car. Get in." She said. She drove us to her home. The car ran perfectly. To my surprise people where there. All of them looked like her. I was shocked.
"Aunt Mel, who are they?" I asked.
"Your family Angel." She replied. She introduced me to each of them. There's was Gwen Johnstone who served as the inspiration for Blood Brothers, Alexis who drew for the Walking Dead, Tracy who was a MMA fighhter, and lastly was Mary who was a saint.
"Awe you brought Kitten home." Mary said.
"Sweet pea, it's been too long." Alexis said.
"You're beautiful Butterfly.' Tracy said.
"I missed you Cupcake." Mrs. Johnstone said.
"Welcome to the family Angel." Melanie said.
