Green Eyes:
"Wow look at that view."
"Piper we are inside."
"How do you know?"
"Because we haven't moved all morning."
"What if I'm watching tv?"
"You're watching Spongebob. I highly doubt there's something interesting to look at on that show."
"How do you know I'm watching Spongebob?"
"I'm blind not def you dumbass."
"Oh right."
I couldn't tell if I was but I was attempting to roll my eyes at my best friends stupidity.
If you haven't guessed by now, I am blind. I've been blind since I was 6. 10 years ago my parents and I were just taking a drive to go and get ice cream and next thing I know we are rammed into by a drunk driver. Since that day I haven't been able to see zip.
Even though I'm blind I can get around just fine. For starters I have my seeing eye dog Cerberus. He's a German shepherd dog and he's been my seeing eye dog for the past 4 years. Then if I don't end up using Cerberus I will usually have my seeing eye person help me aka Piper.
Piper has even moved in with me just to keep an eye on me and make sure I don't quote on quote accidentally walk off a cliff.
"So what do you want for lunch Annie?" Piper asked me.
I heard her get up to go check the fridge.
"Don't call me Annie, and how about pizza?" I suggested.
"Nah we had pizza last night."
"Oh true."
"We can always go out and get something." Piper said walking back over to the couch and sitting down.
"Ooo can we go to Subway please?" I begged.
"Sure, you go get Cerberus and I'll get the car."
I heard Piper grab her keys and walk out the door to get the car.
"Cerberus can you get my brush?" I shouted.
A few seconded later I felt a wet nose pressed up against my leg.
I felt around until I grabbed my hairbrush from Cerberus's mouth and proceeded to brush my knotted blonde hair.
"Good boy, now you wanna go for a ride?"
Cerberus barked happily in reply.
"Okay let's go!"
I threw my sun glasses on to hide my eyes and then grabbed hold of the handle that was attached to Cerberus's harness.
Cerberus led me to my front door and I proceeded to open it up and close it behind me.
He walked me to the parking lot where I heard Piper honking the horn telling me to hurry up.
Once I reached the car Piper opened the door and I got in and buckled up while she loaded Cerberus into the back.
I felt around and pressed the button turning on the radio and started to blast Fall Out Boy.
Piper hopped back into the front seat and we drove to Subway singing Uma Thurman.
However what I didn't know is that one trip to Subway could change my life forever.
-LineBreak-
"Hello, what would you like today?"
"I'll have a 6in sub, Italian BMT on wheat, with lettuce and pickles and mustard please."
"Ok here you go mam."
"Thanks."
I took my Subway sandwich from the cashier and went to sit down while Piper got her own food and paid.
I sat down at a handicap table while Cerberus laid down below me and I started to eat my sandwich when I felt someone sit across from me.
"Piper I know that's you." I said and continued to eat my sub.
"Dammit how did you know?" She asked amazed at my somewhat physic abilities.
"You know all my other scenes are enhanced ever since I lost my eye sight...plus when you sneak around you make enough noise to wake a sleeping bear."
Piper and I both laughed then ate and finished out subs.
"Here I'll go throw away our trash then go get the car," Piper said after we both finished.
"Okay but hurry up because I wanna go home and listen to the Hunger Games."
"Ok ok," Piper said as she got up and left.
I leaned back in my chair and put in one of my ear buds. I pressed a button and my music started to play.
Since I'm blind and can't really "watch" tv or movies, music has been my own real escape from everything.
I was bobbing my head to the beat while petting Cerberus who was sitting next to me ready to lead me out on my command.
Where was Piper? She was taking forever.
I was about to get up and leave when I felt someone sit across from me.
"Piper what are you doing here I thought you were getting the car?"
"Who's Piper?" I heard a deep voice say.
Oh shit that's definitely not Piper.
"I'm so sorry I was just waiting for my friend and well I'm not sure where she is."
The guy laughed.
"It's ok. I'm actually waiting for my friend. I have no idea where the fuck he is."
I chuckled and continued to pet Cerberus.
"What's your dogs name?" Mystery guy asked.
I sensed him bend down and pet Cerberus.
"His names Cerberus." I replied.
Mystery guy stroked Cerberus's head. His hand accidentally brushed up against mine, making me blush.
"He's my seeing eye dog." I added in.
Mystery guy studied my face.
"Wait, so your like, uh I meant you can't uh." He stuttered.
"Yea I'm blind. Don't be embarrassed I'm kind of used to people's reactions by now." I said reassuringly.
"Oh um thanks. My names Percy by the way, Percy Jackson."
"I'm Annabeth, Annabeth Chase."
"So how did you loose your vision?" Percy asked.
I was sort of taken back by his question. Usually when someone meets a blind person they avoid questions about there vision.
"Wait oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry or anything-"
"No it's fine. I lost it when I was 6. My car was hit by a drunk driver and a nerve was damaged in my brain making me loose my sight."
I heard Percy suck in a breath.
"Wow I'm sorry. But hey I got an idea."
I arched my eyebrow.
"What?"
"Since I can already see what you look like, no offense-"
"None taken."
"Then I'm going to describe myself to you ok?"
"Okay, that sounds cool. I've never had a guy do that for me before."
"Well I'm happy to be the first."
Percy took a deep breath then started to talk.
"My name is Percy Jackson. I'm 18 years old and have long, messy, ink black hair. My friend Jason is always telling me to get a hair cut, but I kind of like it."
At that moment Percy gently took my hand and placed it on the top of his head.
I ran my fingers threw his hair starting to get an image of it.
I soon removed my hand and Percy continued to talk.
"I have a few freckles on my face, not as many as you, but I have plenty."
Percy then took my hand again and placed my finger tips on one of his cheeks.
He moved my fingers across his cheek over the bridge of his nose and over to the other side of his face.
Once Percy placed my hand down he began to talk again.
" I'm very tall, about 6 feet exactly. I'm pretty tan, because I go to the beach often, but I'm a white boy so I don't get that tan."
I laughed as Percy continued.
"I love to swim and my favorite color is blue. Which is ironic because my eyes are green."
I felt Percy shift in his seat.
"Last but not least are my eyes. I'm not sure if you can remember the color green or not, but people say my eyes are sometimes as light as the trees and sometimes as deep as the sea."
One more time Percy took my hand and placed it onto his face right above his eye.
I felt his eyes flutter shut as I moved my hand across one to the other.
The image of Percy grew in my head. Eventually I had a full scale model of a tall 18 year old boy with some freckles spread across his cheeks and nose. The boy had long, but not surfer long, black hair. And the boys eyes were as green as the sea.
"Thanks Percy. For helping me see even when I can't."
"No problem. Hey I almost forgot we were in a Subway."
My mind finally snapped back into reality and away from Percy.
Where is Piper? Who knows how long Percy and I have been sitting here.
"Percy? Do you think you could help me find my friend Piper? She left to get the car before you came in and I have no idea where she is."
"Yea sure."
I felt Percy stand up and wait for me.
Cerberus stood up next to me and I reached down and gripped the handle on his harness.
We were walking out of Subway when I felt Percy lace his fingers with mine.
His hands were ruff, but kind of soft.
I liked it.
Percy, Cerberus, and I walked for a bit before I heard the sound of a familiar voice.
"Oh my god Annabeth! I'm so sorry I forgot about you!"
I felt Piper hug me then step back.
"Yea just go and leave your blind friend in Subway all by herself." I said sarcastically.
"Well it looks like you had some kind of company other then Cerberus." Piper said. It's like I could feel her smirking.
I blushed and Percy squeezed my hand letting me know he was still there.
"What were you doing anyway?" I asked my friend.
"Oh well I kinda met a guy. His names Jason. He just left to go and meet his fri-"
"Oh so thats where Jason was." Percy said.
I laughed and so did Piper.
"I guess I have to go and meet him now. I promise I'll see you again soon Annabeth." Percy said and he gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead.
If I could see my face right now it would probably resemble a tomato.
After Percy left, Piper and I drove home.
"So are you gonna meet up with Percy again?" Piper asked.
"Only if you meet up with Jason." I replied with a smile.
"Of course Annie."
"Don't call me Annie."
We both laughed and for the rest of the day I kept thinking up images of Percy. Each one with him and his bright sea green eyes.
