Love is Blind
Chapter 1
They say the best things in life are free. If someone had told me before that that was a load of shit to begin with then I would have better prepared for the events that had taken place on November 5th 2015. I was in my lab class not paying attention as usual.
Usually Caroline was good at doing experiments by herself, but one second I was quietly thinking about how I would get Matt Donavan to talk to me and the next thing I knew I was on the ground clutching onto my eyes that had just gotten lethal chemical into them.
I had been lucky, but my eye sight had been totally demolished by one stupid mistake. Now here I was at Boston's children's hospital having yet another eye examine to determine if I was a good enough donor to get a fresh part of eyes. So far so horrible, but hey in life you had to take what is handed to you.
My mother and I had just finished up with the doctor when we left I had bumped into something hard and felt a hand on my arm to steady me. That was the one thing I hated about being blind. It sucked not to see the beauty of the world.
When I had my sight I had taken something so trivial as my eye sight for granted. I would never again see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Now all I could do was feel the sun on my skin or the cold from the outside weather.
Just like now I couldn't see the beauty of this person, but I could feel that they had a firm hand.
"I'm so sorry about that."
The voice was as warm as caramel.
"No I'm sorry about that. It was probably my fault anyway. I can't see a single thing and I didn't bring my cane today."
"I'm sorry to hear about your eyesight."
"Well all of us have to go through shitty things in our life. I guess this is just mine. What about you? What are you doing here in this shitty ass place?"
"Ugh. Cancer. Brain cancer to be more specific. I was just here doing chemo today."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"Why? I'm not apart of your life."
"It doesn't mean that I don't wish you well and hope that you beat that monster."
"Thank you."
"It's what any respectful human being would have done."
"I'm Damon. Damon Salvatore."
"Hi Damon. I'm Elena. Elena Gilbert."
She felt for his hand and shook it to the best of her abilities.
"I guess I'll see you around Elena Gilbert."
"I sure hope so Damon Salvatore."
"Come on Elena let's get you home."
Elena took her mother's arm and was lead out of the hospital, but Elena only had one thing on her mind. She hoped she would hear from Damon Salvatore again.
