"I've always wanted to die, but no, I don't want to anymore. Someone please help us." I weakly cried out trying to hold on to the little life I had left.

"Someone please help us. I don't want to die." I said again.

"It's okay. I'm here, nothing will happen to you." A masculine said calmly.

That was the last thing I heard before everything went pitch black.

I woke up feeling weak, I straightened my back and sat up on the bed. But something was odd. I felt something trying to penetrate into my eyelids. Something bright and forceful.

I tried to use my hand to block the harsh source of light but then my eyes opened. My vision was blurry at first because of the sun rays but it cleared as my eyes moved to people standing beside the bed.

"Are you okay Marie?" My Butler asked with worry plastered on her face.

I didn't answer but silently kept thinking how this miracle happened.

"His eyes were a perfect match for hers." One Doctor informed my Butler who just nodded her head.

"We're is Steve? Is he also fine?" I questioned but she didn't answer and kept her head bowed.

"Where is Steve?" I questioned again. My eyes wondered down to what they were wearing.

"Why are you all dressed in black?!" I raised my voice.

They didn't answer so I weakly got up and walk out of the room.

"Miss!" I heard people call but I didn't answer.

"Leave her alone. She needs to go see for herself." Another person said.

I moved slowly out of the room. I am familiar with this hospital because this was where my parents died. As I walked out I saw different people wearing black and I slowly followed them.

It lead to a small space in the hospital where people would finally pay their last respects and since he had no family, I guess they just decided to do it here.

"He sacrificed his life to that rude brat."

"It's Marielle's bad luck that rubbed off on him.

I looked around not paying mind to what I was hearing around me and my eyes stopped at his picture. I walked towards his picture and sat on the ground.

"I just want to see you smiling and for you to shine brightly."

That was his favorite quote to me, so I won't cry. Instead all i will do is smile. Before I knew it my lips bent into a smile, not even a smile, I began laughing - laughing loudly.

"Why is she laughing so much?"

"Is she going crazy?"

"Did her plan work?"

"I'm very confused."

After the ceremony was over I didn't bother going to my room. As I got up, my legs were shaking. They felt very weak.

With my shaky legs, I walked outside and got into a taxi. I told him my address and he took me there.

I weakly got up and went inside my house. I went straight to the living room. I went to the DVD player and inserted a DVD and waited for it to play.

It came on and I saw my parents and Steve at my first ballet recital, where my dad told Steve to always look after me after which I jumped into his arms and he promised to never leave me alone.

"Why did you have to give me your eyes Steve?!" I yelled to my empty house.

-------• REMINISCING •--------

"The sun is really beautiful, don't you think Miss Curtis?"

"You know I can't see it! Will you give me your eyes to see them?" I replied bitterly.

________

"Why! Why didn't I say that I wished I could see them too? Why did you have to go Steve?!" I vented with tears pouring out.

"First my parents then you were the only parent I had and now you.." I continued weeping.

That was how I cried myself to sleep.

"Marie?" I heard a voice call faintly.

It took my eyes a few seconds to realize I was Marie.

"Marie?" Irene called again but I still didn't answer before she burst the door open.

"Gosh Marie, did you spend your night watching this?" Irene sighed and turned the television off.

I didn't say anything so she took it as a cue to keep on talking. "These are your eyedrops and medicines." She informed handing me a paper bag.

"I don't want it." I said pushing the bag away.

"I don't care if you want it or not. Your decision doesn't matter." She replied and brought the eye drops out. She took my face and forcefully put the eyedrops in them.

"What are you doing?!" I yelled but she didn't let my face go until she was done.

"Those eyes you have, they belong to Steve. His eyes were like magic, always shining. He gave those eyes to you so you'll take care of them because that is the last reminder of Steve." She voiced.

I didn't reply, I just weakly got up and tried to go to my room. As I was walking, the weak sensation I was feeling in my legs vanished and instead I fell to the floor.

At this point my bones weren't weak, I just couldn't feel my legs anymore.

"Marie!" Irene called out.

Irene took me to the hospital and I told the doctor how I felt, he recommended to get an x-ray done on my legs.

"The results are in. It seems that there's actually nothing wrong with your legs." He informed.

"But why can't I feel my legs then?" I asked.

"I think it has to do with your mental state, I already called a psychologist. He will be here shortly.

I sighed and relaxed on my bed with Irene by my side as we both waited for the therapist.

Shortly, there was a knock on the door and we both assumed it to be the therapist.

"Come in." Irene shouted.

"Good morning ladies. I received your x-ray results and seems everything is fine so that means there's something stressing your brain, hindering it from moving. Did anything traumatic happen within the last few days?" He questioned but I stayed quiet.

"Um yes. She was blind and had someone that would always hold her hand to walk wherever she wanted to go to. But he died recently." Irene summarized.

"That's probably it. Your brain probably sent signals to your legs, making you believe that you can't walk and that's why you can't feel your legs anymore."

"Is this temporary or is it permanent?" I asked.

"It depends on how it's handled. Why you need to do is find someone that gives you the person's feels and all and with practice, you should be able to to walk better even dance." He answered.

Great! First I could walk but couldn't see and now i can see but I can't walk. Why do these things even happen to me?
