Chapter XXVII: Light
Grayson's POV
"So you want my help?", Cameron asked, looking straight through me.
"Well, you're the only person I know who got blind.", I said.
"It's simple. She has to experience shock, greater than whatever made her world go dark.", he said, shrugging.
"Hey that rhymed.", he said, grinning.
"That's it? Then why haven't you acquired sight again?", I asked.
"Maybe because no one was there for me, Grayson. Maybe it was because the only person who cared just left me alone.", he said, frowning, and his voice had risen.
"Cam, we drifted apart, I didn't leave.", I said.
"Yes, you did."
"Cameron, we drifted apart, it wasn't my fault!", I protested.
"So you're saying it's my fault?"
I sighed. "No Cameron, it's not your fault, it's not anyone's fault. And if you think it's my fault, then I'm sorry, Cam.", I said.
He sighed. "Well I do miss you.", he said, smiling sadly.
"Well yeah, it's been years."
"Friends?", Cameron asked.
And suddenly, I had an idea.
"Actually, I'm having second thoughts. No. No, Cameron. What, you think just because you what, saved my life, I owe you one?", I said, scoffing. It hurt me to say it, but I did. If what Cameron said was true, I could help him get his vision back.
Cameron stared at me; or rather it seemed like it, in shock.
"I thought you were my friend.", he said, tearing up.
"Well, I'm not. I don't go hanging around with charity cases.", I said.
"Grayson!", Cameron shouted.
"What?", I said. He laughed. "I can see! I can see!", he said, laughing. I laughed too, and my eyes started tearing up with joy.
"Cam!", I shouted, hugging him.
Eleanora's POV
"So, what do you wanna do?", Ethan asked me. "I don't know, sleep?", I said, bored. "Let's play a game!", he said, excited. "Yeah sure. Which game?", I asked.
"I don't know, you tell me.", he said. I sighed. "Let's go somewhere then, Eth.", I said.
Ethan's POV
"Let's go somewhere then, Eth.", she said.
"Beach?", I asked. "You do realize in blind right?", she asked, raising a perfectly arched eyebrow.
Did she shape them or were they naturally like that?
"Well then let's practice your powers. Try giving me some thoughts. I'm guessing it's easy now that you can't see.", I said.
Eleanora sighed. "Fine.", she said, rolling her eyes.
I was surprised she could even do that.
I closed my eyes.
Eleanora's POV
I thought of what images I should make Ethan see.
I could remember Grayson telling me that Ethan had a thing for Nicki Minaj.
I smiled to myself.
Taking a deep breath, I pictured Nicki kissing me, which from Ethan's point of view would be Nicki kissing him.
"OH MY GOD!", he shouted.
"What?", I asked, stifling my laughter.
"How did you know I had a thing for her?", he asked, surprised.
"Grayson.", I said, laughing.
Ethan's POV
She laughed. I was kind of annoyed that Grayson would tell her I liked Nicki Minaj, but hearing Eleanora's beautiful laugh was so worth it. The way she threw her head back and just laughed, it seemed like she didn't have a care in the world.
Nicki slowly started undressing in front of me, inviting me to the king sized bed, and I obliged, taking in the sight of her long, black hair, which smelled of almonds. Almonds? Wasn't I allergic to almonds?
"STOP DOING THAT!", I shouted, breathing in the fresh air, which fortunately did not smell of almonds.
I swear I didn't even know almonds had a smell.
"Sorry.", Eleanora said, laughing again.
I laughed too.
God, was she beautiful.
Beep.
I looked at the message I received. It was from Grayson.
Grayson: Yo
Ethan: Found the cure?
Grayson: Yeah
Ethan: What is it?
Grayson: Just take her by surprise.
Ethan: Kay.
Grayson: I'm on my way now
Ethan: By the time you come, she'll be seeing again.
Grayson: She better
I looked at her face. "Was that a message from Grayson?", she asked.
"Yeah, he says he found a cure.", I said. Eleanora smiled brightly. "What is it?", she demanded. I looked at her and decided to do something I wanted to do for quite a long time.
Eleanora's POV
"What is it?", I demanded. He didn't answer for a few seconds. Suddenly, even though I couldn't see, I could feel him come very close to me. "Ethan, what're you-", I started, but was interrupted by his lips on mine.
And boy, did it feel amazing.
Even though I didn't actually know him that well, I couldn't help kissing him back, and our lips moved in perfect sync.
Suddenly I heard the door open.
"Hey guys, can she-", I heard Grayson say. I quickly but gently tried to push Ethan off me.
I opened my eyes and lo and behold I could see.
I grinned and started laughing, auntie I saw the look on the twins' faces.
Grayson was just taken aback with shock and was staring at Ethan as if he'd just betrayed him.
Ethan on the other hand just looked guilty.
"Guys, I can see!", I exclaimed, trying to break the tension.
"Big deal. All we had to do was take you by surprise.", Grayson said, and walked out.
"Bro!", Ethan shouted, following him out.
I stared at the empty doorway, and wished he hadn't kissed me.
Was it all just to make me see again? Could a kiss seem so passionate even if it was just pretend?
