Chapter 2: Blind with Secrets
JENS POINT OF VIEW:
"Oh my God," I cried out. "Jude, you can't be blind!"
"Then why the heck can't I see?" He threw back at me.
"I dunno, open your eyes!" Caitlin cried out.
"I can't, you idiot!" He shouted back.
"Jude, how'd you get blind out of nowhere?" Wyatt asked.
JUDES POINT OF VIEW:
Should I tell them the truth? No, I couldn't...would they believe me if I told the truth...that I saw Nikki and Jonsey...doing it? I must have got shocked, and that caused me to become blind. The best solution for now is to lie.
"I don't know," I replied.
JENS POINT OF VIEW:
Nikki and Jonsey soon came down with some more blankets and pillows.
"Is Jude alright?" asked Jonsey.
"No, he's blind!" I cried out.
"He's...blind?" Nikki asked, confused. "Ok, Jude, How many fingers am I holding?"
Nikki than put all five fingers up.
"I told you for the hundreth time," complained Jude, "I can't see! Why won't you believe me?"
"It's just hard to take in, Jude," Jonsey replied.
"Let's take you to the emergancy room at the hospital. Luckly, Jude brought his car over to drive here. Where's your keys, Jude?" I asked him.
"On the kitchen counter, where I left them," Jude told me.
"Ok, let's go." Said Caitlin.
AT THE EMERGANCY ROOM:
JENS POINT OF VIEW:
We were all waiting in the waiting room. Jude was holding onto my hands tight for dear life, as I guided him to his chair. It felt wierd...holding your best friends hand. But, when he sat down and Jude let go of my hand, I must admit...I didn't want him to let go. I wanted him to know I was there for him. If only I knew his pain...
By now, Jude was wearing these big honking black sunglasses, with an old mans cane.
"Jonsey," I moaned out. "Why did you give Jude that crap from the attic?"
"I dunno," Jonsey shrugged. "Don't you watch t.v. when a character gets blind? They always wear the sunglasses and have a cane."
I sighed. Tipical Jonsey. After that, a nurse approched us.
"Jude Lizowski?" She asked.
"Right here," Nikki said, standing up.
I took Judes hand, as he leaned against my side for support.
"Come on, Jude, almost there," I encourged to him.
I helped him sit on the hospital bed, as the rest of us took a seat. Soon, a male doctor came in.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Raggen." He said, looking at us all.
Dr.Reggen was a tall man. He had these dull looking brown eyes, with very shaggy and messy blonde hair.
"What's the problem? Dr.Reggen asked us.
"Our friend, Jude, just got blind." Caitlin explained, pointing to Jude on the hospital bed.
"How did he get blind?" asked the doctor.
"I dunno," Replied Jude.
"This is unusal. You don't just get blind out of nowhere," Said Dr.Raggens confused.
"Could a shock to the system do this to you?" asked Jude.
"Yes, it been known to happen," Dr.Raggens said, thinking. "If this came out of nowhere, it shouldn't last too long. In about 24 hours, his sight should come back. If it doesn't, come see me again."
"Thank you, doctor," Wyatt said.
Jonsey got up before I did, he approched Jude, got him off the hospital bed, as Jude leaned against him for support, holding Jonseys hand.
"Come on, Jude, you can do it," encouraged Jonsey.
But, what Jonsey didn't see was the little stool right infront of Jude, that Jude was about to trip over. Jude took a step, before I could cry out, Jude tripped over the stool, as he moaned in pain.
"Oops, sorry, dude," apologized Jonsey, giving an embarrising laugh.
I sighed, as I helped Jude up. We were all about to go, but Nikki stayed back.
"Nikki? Coming?" Caitlin asked.
"No, I'll be right with you, ok?" Nikki said.
Jonsey stared at her for a moment, then said, "Yeah, we'll be right with you."
We all shruged, as the rest of us waiting for them in Judes car.
NIKKIS POINT OF VIEW:
As soon as the gang left, Jonsey went to shut the door.
"Doctor, we know how Jude got blind," I confessed.
"How?" Dr. Raggens asked.
"Well...uh...he caught Jonsey and myself...ergh...let's say doing grown-up things?" I said, being embarressed.
"you mean sex?" He asked.
OH MY GOD. Do you know how funny it is when a doctor can say that so comfortable?
"Yes." Jonsey asked for me, starting to blush.
"Oh, my," Dr.Raggens said. "Well, in that case, just like I said before, it's going to go away, it will just take some time, ok?"
"Thanks, doc," Said Jonsey.
Jonsey was about to leave, but I stayed put.
"Coming?" Jonsey asked me.
"Tell the gang I will meet them in a moment. I need to ask Dr.Raggens something personal." I said.
Jonsey shrugged, than left.
JONSEYS POINT OF VIEW:
I left, closing the doctors door behind me. What did Nikki wanted to talk to Dr.Raggens about? I was confused, but I decided it was best to give Nikki some personal space.
Then, I laughed at the fact Jude went blind for when he saw Nikki and I "doing it." man, talk about embarressing. Thank God he walked in AFTER we finished.
