A/N :The first two lines are from Gail Carson Levine's book, Writing Magic.
I was doing one of the exercises in the book, which gave a variety of sentences as to start off our paragraphs or stories, though I didn't finish it in the 20 mins. time limit but I continued anyway.
I hope you like this, it's the first time I'll be writing about supernatural stuff... I'm not even a big fan of supernatural xD
Disclaimer : I do not own Victorious and the two starting sentences, as I mentioned.
I have one green eye and one brown eye. The green eye sees the truth but the brown eye sees much, much more. Ever wondered why I always loved the dark? Because I won't have to see those nandy-dandy chirping birds and stupid rising morning sun. Now I love it even more because I can't see anything and if I can't see I won't know. Know what you may ask, well, my green eye isn't so bad but my brown eye, it's horrendous. I've always loved horror but something happened and I got stuck with this brown eye. Sometimes I want to claw it out just to stop from seeing them. It. Everything. But at the same time I love it. It's my only remaining memory of my love. My Tori.
Everything was going fine, we were at the park. Tori decided to do one of her romantic picnic dates again, and had prepared a lot for only two people. We laid our checkered blanket under a shady, green tree. She started taking out the food from the basket; sandwiches, cookies, strawberries, chocolate, and a huge bottle of juice and cups.
"Wow Vega, are you starving or something?" I asked, as I took one of the strawberries. She just rolled her eyes good-naturedly. We talked about school; homework &projects. We talked about our families; my parents and my brother, her parents and her sister. We talked about each other; our latest doings. We talked a lot. When I look at her, I know she loves me, even without my eye, I know with just the way she looks at me.
We cuddled under the shady tree, just relaxing, watching the children run and play, parents chasing after them, couples holding hands and sharing kisses. We watched the world go by and then it was time to go.
We were at a crossroad, and she ran into the middle of the street singing and spinning around. She looked crazy and wild but she was mine. She's my crazy and wild Tori, and I love her. It was a red light, so it was safe. At least, it was supposed to be. From the distance a car was honking loudly but he was driving too fast and everything happened in a blink of an eye. Tori was out of my sight and I felt pain in my body.
I woke up in the hospital, my parents and little brother were there when I woke up. They were relieved to see me awake and they called a doctor and had me checked. I could only see through one eye at that time, but my mind was fuzzy and then one thought came to mind.
"Tori!" I sat upright abruptly and that was the worst thing to do.
"Honey, we need you to rest," my mom said in an oddly calm voice.
"No! I need to see Tori! She-she…." I tried to think of what actually happened but I couldn't. "Where is she? I need to see her! Please," My parents knew I never say please but I was just so desperate, I need to see my Tori. Tears were coming out of my one good eye.
"Rest for the moment, Ms. West. We don't need you complicating your new eye and your body is still in bad shape."
"I need to see my girlfriend!" I slammed my fist against the white sheets of the bed.
"Jade," my father spoke in a stern voice, I turned my head to him, my only good eye glaring at him. "You need to rest and so does Tori. Do you honestly think she would let you see her when you obviously still need to heal your eye?" He stood tall, daring me to defy him. But he knows me and Tori too well and I just laid back down.
It was hours when I woke up again and they still wouldn't let me see her. Hours turned to days and my eye was all healed. Every time I tried to get out of bed my father would use Tori as a sort of threat and he'd have me lying back down in bed. Apparently I got hit by a turning car but he was able to stop quick enough that I only had a few bruises and cuts but my right eye somehow got hit by one of its windshield wipers.
The doctor slowly peeled off the bandage and opening my right eye for the first time was rather odd. But what was weirder was the chocolate brown eye that was very contrasting with my green one. I gently touched my eye just below it and a tear rolled down from it.
"Tori?..." my voice cracked. The next thing I knew my scream pierced through the whole hospital.
Ever since we got back I always stayed in my room. I never went to her funeral. I just stayed in my room, my parents just send a maid to bring food to me but I never eat much and I think I've lost weight. The lights are always off in my room and the curtains drawn in to keep the light away. I envelop myself in darkness so I won't see…her. She's here and there. Sometimes she isn't and I'm glad when she isn't because somehow I can pretend that things are alright and normal but then she suddenly appears.
I was in school, she never shows up there but this one time she did and she was sitting on her chair. I screamed and everyone was startled, Beck took me home and by the time we got there, I ran up to my room and left him outside, knocking on my hardwood door asking if I was fine. I think I heard my father talk to him, I don't know, but he left eventually.
Sometimes, I see her memory of when the accident happened. Combined with my left eye, that sees truth, it can see death of others and even spirits of dead, I've willed myself to never see my friend's death. But the worst of them all is seeing her, so emotionless and cold. She's not my Tori but she looks so much like her.
"Why won't you leave?" my voice is raspy from my crying and I am just begging her so much right now, "Please just leave me alone."
"Jade?"
I feel like if I write a sequel it'll just end up being a multi-chaptered story, but hey, I guess I'll let you guys judge.
I had no idea what else to make the brown eye 'see'so I came up with this, leave a review and I hope you liked it even if it was just experimental. xD
