A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR: Hay. Before I start the story I want to say I won't update without any reviews. A lot of my stories have died because of lack of reviews. I refuse to write a story so no one will read it. I did that with my first story "Bound by Blood and I felt horrible by the end because I though that I was no good at writing but one of my other stories on the other had gets a few reviews a chapter so it's just the story that was no good. Since then I have promised my self that I don't update without reviews so that I know the story isn't a waist of my time. All I ask is one short review like "Good chapter." or "Try this." Or "Update!" I don't really care.
I know that Dark is similar to this story but when I wrote Dark I had two ways of writing it stuck in my head and Dark was the one that came out first. Here is the other one.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: A New View
POV: Annabeth
I was in the car with my boyfriend Luke Castilian when it happened. I can't say I was surprised. Luke drove like a maniac. At the time I thought my life was perfect. I had a loving family, a high school quarterback for a boyfriend and I was head cheer leader with strait A grades. Then I climbed into that dam car.
Luke was driving so fast that I couldn't make out anything that was happening around us. The world was just a blur than BAM! The car flipped over several times and landed on it's roof. I knew this because I could feel gravity trying to pull me out of my seat.
I felt pain all over but especially my eyes. They hurt like hell.
There was a sound to my right as a voice spoke.
"Annabeth?" It asked. "Oh, man...Hold on, I'll get you out."
"Who's there?" I asked.
The pain in my eyes was too intense for my to even attempt to open them.
"It's me, Percy." The voice answered. "We go to school together."
I knew this kid, kind of.
He was a shy kid who spent most of his time in the corner and was always picked on by the other kids in the class.
"Percy?" I asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I was on my way home from the mall." He said. "Tried to see if I could afford that new video game."
I nodded.
"Hang on." He said as I felt something tug at my seat belt. "I almost have you free."
"Where's Luke?" I asked. "Is he ok?"
There was a silent Pause.
"Percy?" I asked.
"He ran off." Percy said. "He climbed out after the crash and bailed."
Just then the safety belt came loose and I yelped as I expected to land on my head but Percy caught me and gently lowered me to the floor. Then he dragged me to what I assumed was out of the car wreck.
My head started to spin as thoughts raced through it.
Luke left me!
Percy saved me!
Hy eyes hurt so badly!
Where are my parents?
Then I heard really loud sirens followed by shouting people. Some hands grabbed me and wrenched me away from the hands that I knew were Percy's.
"No!" I screamed, not wanting to loose the only friendly thing I knew was in the aria. "Percy!"
"Calm down." An older voice said next to me. "Were the paramedics, here to take you to the hospital."
"Percy!" I screamed again.
"I'm here!" I herd him call out a few feet away.
"Where?" I cried out desperately.
I began to fight the hands that held me.
"Mam!" Shouted the voice of the Paramedic.
Then another hand appeared on my shoulder.
"I'm here." Said it's owner. It was Percy.
"Don't leave." I begged him. "Please."
"Ok." He responded.
Then I blacked out.
POV: Percy
Two hours later a Doctor came out from Annabeth's room and talked to her parents. They started to cry and I felt terrible. I had never told any one this but I had had a crush on her ever since I was twelve and it only got worse in high school. But she wouldn't ever go out with me. I'm a Dyslexic D student who has no friends and never talks to any one so why would she notice me?
Her parents turn around and walk over to me.
"How is she?" I ask them. "Will she make it?"
Her father nodded.
"The doctor says she'll live but that the glass from the windshield tore up her eyes and she's blind now." He said as he shook his head. "I thank you for pulling her from the wreck and calling for the ambulance though. I know you did everything you could for her."
I wished I could have done more though. She was blind.
"Can they fix her eyes?" I asked him. "Did the doctor say?"
They both shook their heads.
"The doctor said that the only way to fix it is with an eye transplant which would require some one to give her their eyes." He shook his head. "We both volunteered but Annabeth has too much of her mother's DNA for me to be a donor and She died years ago."
"I'm here step mother." The woman next to Mr. Chase clarified. "And apparently I'm not a match."
"What about me?" I asked.
They both frowned at me.
"What?" Mr. Chase asked.
"I'll see if I'm a viable donor." I said. "And if I am then I'll donate my eyes."
"I can't ask you to do this." Mr. Chase spoke. "You've all ready done enuf."
"Then it's a good thing you don't have to ask." I told him as I walked off to find a doctor.
Time Break!
A half hour later I was lying on a table as the doctors placed a mask over my nose and I breathed in the gas and and starred up at the bright operating light above me. I fell asleep a few seconds later, cherishing the last sight I would have.
POV: Annabeth
I woke up for the first time after the crash to the sound of a heart rate monitor. I opened my eyes to see the room was blue with a white ceiling. My Dad and Step Mom, who I just call Mom, were sitting next to me.
"Hi, Anni." Dad said to me. "How do you feel?"
"Weird" I replied.
"That's probably the drugs they put you on during your surgery." My dad said.
"Surgery?" I asked. "What surgery?"
My parents looked at each other apprehensively.
"The car crash blinded you." My dad said as I frowned in confusion.
"But I can see." I said.
He nodded.
"A friend of yours volunteered to be an eye donor for you." He said.
I frowned.
"These aren't my eyes?" I asked.
My dad shook his head.
"So I have one of my friend's eyes?" I asked. "That's weird."
"Well," Mom began. "You actually have both of the eyes. Your friend insisted."
I eyebrows raised in surprise.
I had both of this person's eyes? Then the poor kid would be blind. Why would the person willingly go blind?
"Who?" I asked them. "Which one of my friends?"
"That boy." My father began. "Percy Jackson."
My seances went dead as it hit me.
This kid I barely knew went blind. Had given up both his eyes for me.
"Where is he?" I asked them.
"He's next door." Dad said. "He woke up an hour ago."
In that moment I was out the door and in Percy's room.
He was sitting quietly in his hospital bed, starring at the sealing with the creepiest sight I have ever seen. His eye sockets were empty. Just black voids.
"Who's there?" He demanded.
"Hi, Percy." I said in a shaky voice. "It's me..."
"Annabeth?" He cut me off. "Are you ok?"
"Am I ok?" I repeated, sitting down in a chair next to his bed. "I'm not the one who donated both my eyes."
He just shook his head.
"You needed them." He said.
"And you don't?" I inquired.
"No." He answered. "Not as much as you do."
"And why's that?" I asked. "Why give up so much for me."
He paused, debating his thoughts.
"Some people are worth it." He eventually said. "You're smart, athletic, pretty, and have a real future. I'm just the guy in the corner. People need you. Your family, friends and others that I couldn't possibly list. Nobody needs the weird kid though." He shook his head again. "So I figured I would do something worth while."
I stayed and had this conversation with him for over an hour when a nurse forced me back into my room. I went to the bathroom and walked to the sink to wash my hands. When I looked into the merrier above it I was surprised to see two sea green eyes staring back at me. They seamed so deep and thoughtful.
It made me sad that their original owner would never see them again.
