Love is Blind

Chapter 2: The Effect

Flashback...

Serenity was taken to Domino hospital accompanied by Duke and other medic. Duke felt completely guilty about the things he did to her and wished that Serenity would find in her heart to forgive him for what he did. He didn't even know about the consequences he did that will change Serenity's life forever. So he decided to leave her for awhile and since he was to ashamed to show his face, he left her a letter instead, hoping she would read it and understand why he had to do that to her. Unfortunately for him a nurse took it throw it out thinking it was garbage. (hehehe am I bad or what! ) She slept for 2 days straight before she got conscious.

When she woke up, the first thing that caught her attention was the pain surging through her body and a familiar thing wrapped around her arms and head covering the view of her surroundings. She tried to ponder everything that had happened but all she got was a major headache and more body pain. She was startled when she heard someone yelling.

"WHAT HAPPEN TA MA SISTA?" she heard a familiar voice arguing with someone outside. She guessed that the nurse and doctors are trying to calm him down.

When the noise outside subsided, she thought that the guards must have thrown Joey outside.

She waited a little longer until she heard her door creaked open. She couldn't see who it was but she guessed it was her brother until the person walked up to her and spoke to her with a worried voice. "Serenity honey are you ok?" she heard her say. Serenity never thought that her mother would visit her or even care because she left them with her father when they were young. She stayed silent for minute before asking her what she's doing here. Her mother tried to speak but Serenity cut her off.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE? AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE WITH YOUR OTHER FAMILY OR SOMETHING" Serenity spat every word with hatred and pain while trying so hard not to cry and, but she couldn't hold it much longer.

Her tears cascaded down her face when she started to remember all those times when she needed her mother but she was not there, when she was feeling jealous of the others with their own complete family and when she was lonely because no ones there to guide her except her brother (not that she was complaining about him or anything ) who deeply cares for her.

She promised herself she wouldn't shed her tears for anything but this is an exception. She tried to stop it but it kept flowing down when she spilled all the longing and loneliness she felt for years. Her mother felt sorry and guilty, seeing that her daughter is suffering because of her, and now she doesn't even know how to protect her from the news about her condition. She knew it will break Serenity's life forever so she tried to comfort her by embracing her but Serenity pushed her away and wipe away the last remaining tears on her cheek. She asked her mother if she could just leave. She was hurt by what Serenity said but she knew she deserves it so she went and left Serenity alone with her thoughts.

After that little encounter with her mother, Serenity tried to wipe away the tears in her eyes, but all she felt was the bandage wrapped firmly around it. She forgot all about it and wondered why she is wearing a bandage around her head. She then remembers what Duke did and what had happened to her. She cried silently until she heard the door being opened. She thought her mother came back but before she could ask who it was, she felt someone hugged her. She panicked, but then she realized it was just her brother Joey. She relaxed herself in his embrace and she wanted to tell him that their mother visited her today. She knew that Joey despised their mother like her, so she thought maybe she would tell later. Soon she felt a watery substance falling from her cheeks. Serenity was confused about his actions and was about to ask him what was wrong and why was he crying when Joey cut her off. "Serenity ya alright?" with a worried tone "I'm sorry Serenity I couldn't protect you!" said Joey feeling responsible about it while holding her tight.

She assured him that it was ok and it's not his fault and dismissed his actions thinking he was just worried about her. She then asked him if he could call a doctor to take her bandage off because she wants to see him. Joey felt a pang in his heart when he heard what Serenity said because he was well aware of her situation. He wiped away his tears and left her room to call a doctor. Joey knew that Serenity will not be able to take the news. He remembered that the doctor told him before that Serenity will be temporarily blind because of the impact of the accident. He already agreed to tell her the truth, so now here he is walking to Serenity's room and standing in front of it, hesitating. The doctor put his hands on Joey's shoulder reassuring him that this was the best time to tell her that she will be blind and she needs to be operated soon to see again. They are not one of the richest families in Domino; they are the opposite of it. He knew they would not afford the operation so she might be blind forever.

When they entered Serenity's room, he saw her waiting for them with a smile on her face. This hurt Joey even more knowing that her smile won't last long. He told her that the doctor is here and motioned for the doctor to take the bandage off. Serenity felt relieved when she felt the last strand of cloth is being torn away from her head. When she opened her eyes, her smile vanished and a wave of fright washed over her. "Joey what's going on?" "Why can't I see anything?" she asked her brother with panicked visible in her voice. Joey doesn't know what to do except go sit beside her and comfort her "Joey…." She was confused because Joey is not saying anything to her and before she could ask again, the doctor broke the news to her. "Serenity…" she could hear the doctor but she couldn't see him. She knew what was coming next but she doesn't want to hear it. "Ms. Wheeler you are…blind" the doctor continued "but it's only temporary and you will regain your eyesight with a little surgery" he added hastily. By then Serenity cried hysterically into Joey's arms. The doctor felt sorry for her so he left her alone with her brother.

End of flashback…

Nineteen year-old Serenity Wheeler walked inside the kitchen when she smelled a very delicious aroma coming from inside it. It has already been 5 yrs since the incident happened and by now she memorized everything in her house and going to other places as well, with the help of Joey, Mai and her walking stick. She couldn't afford to have the operation because Joey and Mai don't have enough money for it (Yeah after the incident they were now a couple and Mai lives with Joey and Serenity to help them ).

Serenity knew she was being a burden and want to work too, but Joey won't allow her. So she stopped asking him because the answer is always a "no". Joey was afraid that if he allowed her, he might lose her forever and that's the reason he wants her to stay near him.

She sat down and asked Joey if she could go out to buy grocery because they are low in food. He eyed her for a while and decided to allow her to go with a little head slap from Mai. Serenity giggled by their actions and wished she could see how happy his brother with his girlfriend. When she's finished she helped Mai wash the dishes and so she headed upstairs to change and went out. Joey and Mai said their goodbyes to Serenity and went to school. (Don't be surprised if they are going to school they still have college, right! )

Meanwhile…

Inside Kaiba Corporation a thunderous sound erupted that everyone in the building shuddered from it. Each person inside the building is very thankful that they are not at the receiving end of that outburst.
