A/N Heey Everyone, so sorry that this update is later that the last one but I got a little side tracked and my internet broke again – and according to the guy that keeps fixing it for us I'm totally useless (he's only just finished high school) – and for some reason I thought that it would be a good idea to see if I could cut the two smallest toes on my left foot off – NOT A GOOD IDEA – so that really hurt and now I have to try not to walk on it them too much.
I am going to be going to my Aunts place on boxing day so I get to spend a week with her with out my rents and little bro, so hopefully I will be able to get some quality writing time in if I'm not to distracted by the shopping that I will hopefully get to do. YAY YAY YAY
Hope this chapter doesn't seem too OOC but you have to remember that this chapter is set only 10 months after Aug looses his sight – Hello scary changes and fits of anger – and Annie is just trying to stand up for herself and has just had to go through another annoying move.
Hope you like this chapter
I first met Annie while I was configuring the lights, sound and tech for the school musical that would first go on stage in three days – don't ask how I got roped into working on the school musical – when she came up to the area that I was working in to see if there was anything that she could help me with. By that point I had been back at school for almost ten months since the accident by that point so the novelty of having a blind person in the school had worn off so most all people treated me like the always had before the accident and didn't pay to much me anymore so when Annie first approached me I automatically assumed that she was just ignoring the obvious and getting on with the what she had to. Not that that stopped me for taking offense and getting pissed with her.
" I'm not a total incompetent just because I can't see the controls, so just piss off and try helping old ladies across the road somewhere else!" I remember shouting at her.
" Why is it that you automatically assume that just because someone wants to help you that they think you are incompetent and incapable of doing something yourself, they could just be trying to be friendly and helpful. Also if you can't see, then why don't you just take those ridiculous glasses off and look at what you are supposed to be doing?" She almost instantly shouted back at me – not that she would usually do that I soon discovered.
I'm not sure why, but what she said then made me crack, made the facade that I kept up so well slip. It could have been the fact that what she said made me remember what I was missing, whether the way she said it so bluntly like me not being able to see was something that I chose
" Well I would but that would take the 'ridiculous glasses' off but that might scare you when you find my eyes closed. I would look straight at you and the sound board but I can't because I can't see where anything is and I'm pretty sure you don't want me to whack you with a big stick. So maybe you should go and get you facts straight before you barge in here and accuse me of not knowing how to do anything myself" I spat
" I did not barge in here and accuse you of not being able to do anything yourself. No I don't want you to whack me with a big stick and I still don't understand why you can't see. Are you blind or something?" Annie spat right back at me.
That was the last straw, she spat the suggestion out there so harshly, like a joke, like a stupid idea, a made up option that made everything make sense. I know that it was my fault that she was at the point that she would suggest it like that – like a made up excuse – but I couldn't take it any more.
" Yea, I'm blind, can't the smart little girl see that the incompetent, incapable, stupid guy can't see a thing. Maybe the smart little girl isn't as smart as she thinks she is." I practically snarled.
" O My God, I am so so so sorry, I didn't mean to say that." she said.
" I don't want your pity, so just go, go and try not to make my life any worse than it already is!" I shouted
I instantly heard the sound of her feet hitting the floor as she practically fled from the room.
I don't regret what happened that day because if our argument hadn't happened Annie and I would never be where we are today.
Okay so that is the end of Chapter 3. Hope you liked it. Sooooo R&R cause reviews make me all fluffy inside.
Luv U All
