Story 9: Eyes

I heard people enter my room- I'm not used to this since only one or two people are allowed to enter my room or atleast wants to. I heard the sounds of ppeople talking-sometjing about transferring and room mate. I sharpened my hearing and heard people fixing the other bed and a small 'owf' from the person that lied down. I wonder why he's in here.


I hate this, it might not be obvious but I do. I dont like being weak and helpless. They moved me in a new room again, I guess I'll be alone again- in a white room where anyone can lose sanity in. If I knew what it felt like for my patients to live in this kind of room, I would've suggested we add a little color to the rooms. I saw a auburn head girl sitting on the bed on the other side of the room- she looked like she's looking for something. Well I guess I wont be alone then.


Im Ryuuzaki Sakuno, 21 years old. There's many things I like a few I dont. I like flowers, sakura blossoms precisely. I like cats too. I have a cat before he has blue eyes, he's name was Mr. Tuddles but he passed away when I was 13. I like many things, colors? I like blue and pink. And it has been a while since I've seen them.

I'll describe myself, I have auburn hair and brown eyes-well as far as I can remember that is.

Ah! I forgot to mention to you, I'm blind. I've been for the past 3 years. You see, I got into an accident 3 years ago- a car accident. The other driver was drunk, and well he crashed my car- they say its a miracle I'm still alive. I've been in this hospital for 3 years now, recovering from the injuries form the accident, I'm all fine now the only thing the doctors are worrying about is my eyesight.

I live in room 65


I'm Fuji Shusuke 23 years old, a doctor. I've been diagnosed by cancer- leukemia exactly. Chronic Lymphocytic leukemia, its rarely cured and I'm not one of the lucky ones. I still have many dreams, many goals, but as they say there's no use crying over spilled milk. So I guess I should live to the fullest huh?

I'll describe myself, I have caramel colored hair and blue eyes- well I used to have a head of caramel colored hair... chemotheraphy.

I guess you want to know more about me huh? Well I used to play tennis before I became a doctor. I have two siblings and they're in Florida, one the way here. You know, now that I'm stuck here at an hospital room for just 2 days I now know how boring life can get. They say I got only 3 months to live, might as well take advantage.

I have a room mate, she's blind I figured out yesterday.


I found out yesterday that my room mate was a guy-just 2 years older than me. He's name is Fuji Shusuke, my nurse said. I asked why he was here but she said it was better if he would be the one to tell me. He's very.. umm quiet.


So her name is Ryuuzaki Sakuno. She's very shy, I could tell and she's very... optimistic. I know she's debating on wheather or not to ask me why I am here.


I decided to ask him-- finally! Well, he said he's just here for some examinations. I frowned slightly, that means he wont be around that long. He said it would be fine, he'll visit me. He's really nice, I hope he recovers fast.


She asked me why- I didnt know why I said this, but I said I was just here to get some tests. Maybe it's her chocolate eyes and her sweet voice or maybe both, but I said I would visit her. How the hell will a dead man visit a blind ALIVE woman? As a ghost maybe?


He's really nice, once you get to know him and if he isnt out of the room taking those tests. I asked him what he looked like, anf based from his descriptions, he's very handsome.


She's really nice, once you get over the too shy demenour. She asked me what I looked like...I told her a lie. Coz' wheather O want to admit this or not. I'm falling. Why does fate tend to mess up?


He held my hand today, i felt jolts of electricity course through me. He said he really likes me. I mustve blushed a million shades of red. And I said I liked him too-very much.


I said I liked her, she said she liked me too! I feel like a 7 year old confessing his crush. No we're not inlove not yet, but Im afraid that we're getting there. Very afraid.


The doctors talked to me today, it's been 3 months since I began loving my room mate. The doctors said that they need to do a corneal transplant to restore my eyesight again! Theres hope! I excitedly told Shusuke this, and I told him that I would finally see the man I love


She needs a corneal transplant, and for that they need a donor. She told me that once she could see again, she would finally see the man she loves-me, I am a very happy man now, but I'm afraid my dear Sakuno, that once you open your eyes... I wont be here anymore.


A certain auburn headed woman slowly open her eyes to see the wonderful colors she missed. It's spring and the cherryblossoms are at their finest. The doctor handed her a mirror she gazed into a pair of glorious brown orbs. She looked around the room in search for someone. Her gazed fell on the bed on the other side of the room.

There above the white bed with no occupant lays a single long stemmed white rose.

That was the day she used her newly healed eyes to cry.
