The Love Bet: Part 15 ♥

The Love Bet; PArt 15
--

Mariete stared at the equations on the white page. She stopped her work and glanced out the window. The sun was setting and the sky was streaked with pinks, oranges and purples. She rose from her seat and walked to the balcony in her room. She opened the double doors and sighed. The sky looked so beautiful, the clouds glowed with a light and then her computer let out a small chime and MAriete ran back in and swirled in her seat to face the computer.

Mariete rolled ehr eyes at the obvious IM and twirled her pen between her fingers thinking. Then she placed the pen on her paper and started to write. HEr mother knocked on the door and MAriete continued to scribble. Her mom peeked over MAriete's should and sighed. Her mother retreated and left but came back shortly with a tray where there was a plate of noodles covered in tomato sauce. IT had a little basil sprinkled over it and there were a few meatballs. THere was a bowl of soup and MAriete sighed. She finished up her homework and slipped the papers into her bag then walked over to the table there. She took the tray out into the balcony and sat at the table there.

She sat at the white chair and looked at the beautiful sky. She glanced at the covered cansas in the corner and smiled faintly. She speared her meatball and bit into it. She looked at the darkening sky and spponed some noodles into her mouth. Mareite finished up her dinner and carried the tray back into her room. The sky was darker not. The reds and oranges and light purples were replaced with shades of blue and bordereing on black. A few stars twinkle in the sky and she just thought she saw a shooting star.

Mariete carried the tray to the kitchen where her mom was busying herself with plates. Mariete walked a little closer to the sink where she accidentally slipped and the tray went flying. She had hit her head against the marble counter and the tray landing a few feet away. Her mother ran over to the girl lying there and checked to see if her daughter was alright.

"HAROLD! Your daughter!!" her mother screamed.
"What happened?" Mariete's father asked quickly as he raced to the kitchen where the unconcious girl lied.
"She slipped!" Mariete's mother cried.
"Call 911!!" he said quickly as his wife ran to the phone by the microwave.

MAriete lied there, looking peaceful, and the world was dark to her. Her parents were worried and her mother was rambling on the phone. Soon a distant siren was heard and the body was placed on a stretcher then into the ambulance. She couldn't hear a thing and she lied there. Just lying there.

"Will she be okay?"
"She is fine... but there might be some problems. She should be awake in a few days," the doctor assured the worried parents.

Two days later:

"Where am I?" Mariete groaned as she tried to touch her forehead to find out she couldn't move her arm.
"Harold! Get the doctor!" Mariete's mother said in fear.
"Why can't i see?" Mariete gasped as she tried to look around.
"I'm sorry, but i didn't know this would happen," the doctor said apologetically.
"Help! I can't see!" MAriete cried as she reached blindly for someone.
"Calm down," the doctor said gently as her mother tucked her back into the bed with trembling hands.
"Will i be blind forever? Why can't i move my arms?" MAriete cried.
"It should be temporary," the doctor assumed.
"It better be!" Mariete snapped as the doctor left and MAriete's mother started to cry with her father holding her.

Mariete wanted to cry. But she felt no tears. She wanted to see a little. Even if it was all in shades of grey... but she couldn't see... everything was so confusing...
