Author's Note: I hope it's not too bad. And I warned you guys. The last one was sad.

Day Two-Hundred Fifteen: Blindfold Me by Marina and the Diamonds

Love is blind and deaf and dumb.

It was a popular maxim she had heard at least a billion times in her life. She never really thought that it was true, though. How could someone be blind and fall in love (in a figurative sense, at least)? Even if they were blind, shouldn't their other senses—metaphorically—make up for the one lost? Surely, they would have some indication of the person they were falling for.

Love at first sight and blind love were just dumb sayings she heard. She didn't think it would actually happen.

There was some little feeling of danger and riskiness when she met him. There was a little part of her that screamed not to get too close to him—Toby was his name. But evil people weren't allowed to be good-looking, right? Liars' eyes didn't come in blue. His eyes were the bluest she had ever seen. His eyes could not be that blue if he were a bad person. He was safe. He was wholesome. Surely, that was a good sign.

So she allowed her heart to get attached to him.

Although her mother advised her never to do this, she became near-sighted and he was in her sights. It was only him in her eyes.

The problem with that was that she was not the only thing in her sights. He had other things to tend to; he was not all that involved with her. While her skin sizzled whenever he touched her, the same could not be said for him.

By the time she had realized this, it was much too late. She spent too much time—far too much—pining after him and just hoping he'd love her back with as much fervor and zeal as she had loved him for so long.

When others asked about him, she would respond, "Oh, I think of him sometimes." She thought of him far too often; it hadn't really mattered that he didn't do anything to love her and she had. Jealousy was her greatest weakness. Sometimes, she thought that, perhaps, if she had been less controlling, he would still be with her.

She was so smart, but with him, she was dumb; she was rich and could have anything she wanted in the world, but with him, she was poor with his love; she was beautiful, but never beautiful enough for him. She just couldn't win.

She wished she was reasonable enough to sever all her ties to him, but she wasn't. She just wanted someone to take back all the negative things she knew about him! She just wanted someone to make her proverbially blind!

But she realized it now: nobody was going to blindfold her.

Sarah: It's because I'm secretly the devil incarnate (shh don't tell anyone). Elephants are just chill they seem cool. I love cinnamon. I just...mmm so good. Especially cinnamon buns. Ugh, I want one. I actually did cry and I just can't cry during books (like reading/writing something...I did not cry at the end of The Last Song or TFIOS). But I hope you liked it? Even though it made you all sad?

Guest: Aww I'm sorry for making you cry. I update like every day lol I have no life. But I'm glad you liked it. The songs are good. You should give them a listen (alright at least listen to the songs by Lana, Marina, and The Civil Wars and Gin Wigmore. They're the best).

Guest: Aww but I hope you liked it! I really do!

Tomorrow's one-shot will be Lucky Ones by Lana Del Rey and WOW I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS ONE LIKE WHAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. -Kayson
