Hello! It's been a long time since I updated... I'm sorry about that! This is a short one I did, school has been veeery busy and I can't find time to write and think more about what's going to happen between these two XD
But I'm back on track... at least for now.
The next chapter after this will be the ending... And I will post an epilogue later on (I think you'll going to hate me for the epilogue though...)
Blindness: Chapter 7
Britain is, well... Britain.
The food is British.
The language is British.
The accent is British.
The people are British.
Everything is British.
Immersing oneself in another culture is something Lisa Simpson finds very enjoyable. Being able to see something aside from Springfield and New York and meeting people with different tastes and origins is very refreshing for her. Who calls strangers "dear" or "love"?
It's pretty awesome.
Currently, she's in a restaurant with Simon, a guy she met in class. Don't get her wrong, after all that has happened, she needs to relax and socialize.
It's been four months since she saw him though...
And a month since they talked...
He graduated. Everyone was there except her - because she couldn't make it, and she really don't want to go.
But that doesn't mean she don't care at all. She did - a lot.
"Hello?" Her ears tingled with the sound of his voice.
She took a deep breath and replied. "Bart..."
Silence.
"Congratulations!" She continued.
"Thank you Lise." He replied a lot quicker than she thought. "I couldn't have done it without you..."
As much as she dreaded it, she found herself smiling. She missed him. "Five years finally paid off. I'm proud of you."
He chuckled - it sounded like music. "I'm glad... You calling I mean. It means a lot..."
"Bart! Who are you talking to? We need to leave!" She heard her Marge ask on the side of the line.
"It's Lisa!" Bart answered.
"Give me that." She heard a shuffling noise, "Hi Lisa! How are you? You didn't call us back home in Springfield."
"I'm sorry mom. A lot to do..."
"And you had time to call your brother... When you can't even call your own mother, I was worried!"
"Stop being melodramatic mom." She replied while laughing.
That's how the conversation between the two of them ended. A little awkward, but she felt something changed on how they talked - more honest and more ligh-
"Earth to Lisa?"
She suddenly saw a hand waving in front of her face. "Wha-?"
"Are you alright? You're spacing out." Simon asked, looking worried.
"I'm fine..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I'm sorry about m-" she looked out the glass window and saw a pair of familiar eyes looking at her.
She blinked and it's gone.
Simon looked at his back and asked, "You look pale. Was there someone outside?"
"Y-yes..."
"A stalker?"
She smiled at the thought, "No." She replied.
"A ghost?"
"No, no, no"
"A long lost lover?" He replied jokingly.
"Something like that..."
Silence.
He coughed and forced a laugh. "That was pretty funny. Anyway I saw this..."
He kept talking.
And she's still not listening.
The date was a disaster. She felt bad for Simon, he was taking the effort to make the date interesting while she blew it by thinking about someon- something else. She really wasn't herself. Who tells them that they saw a long lost lover outside a restaurant while on a date?!
She swears she saw Bart outside though...
She shook her head. "I should stop thinking about him. It's messing me up." She thought as she closed the door to her room.
She doesn't know what will hit her next.
School was pretty tiring today.
Dissecting a Great Dane wasn't really easy when your group mates are not around...
"Lazy bums..." She muttered under her breath. "Even if she's eager at dissecting doesn't mean they leave her to do everything?!"
"You seem to be in a bad mood." A voice that's clearly familiar whispered on her ear.
"Bart?" She stopped walking and looked at the source of the voice.
"Missed me?"
The last thing she remembered is throwing herself at him.
She guesses that the goodbye in the airport is something that both of them cannot keep.
I know... It's really short and boring... But hey! They missed each other and hugged! *sigh* I'm sorry I can't make it any longer...
I don't know when I'll update next. I'll finish this, I promise! :)
