Chapitre 21: Chapter 19: Age Eight
~ Sophie's Point of View ~
Max took too long to get the sheet he forgot to bring with him. I felt uncomfortable and shocked when I heard his husky, deep voice.
"Sophie! I forgot to eat breakfast, do you want to eat too?" Kate exclaimed.
I sought out after my stomach craved for food. "Oh! I didn't eat breakfast too!"
"Okay, stay here and wait for the handsome and cool guy, Max. I'll be right back with food!"
I heard she get her bag and run to the exit door. "Kaaaate! Don't leave me here!"
Too late now, because she hurriedly runs towards the school's cafeteria.
I stood up and I'm striving to sit on the armchair by myself. "What should I do, then?!"
"Oh! I'm hungry and thirsty waiting for my new coach." I mumbled impatiently.
I slowly closed my eyes when a warm breeze touches my cold and chill self. I've been longing for this breeze, for this feeling again.
By then, I felt so emotional and carried away because of the deafening silence that surrounds me.
"Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears, I awaken
And untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better
To watch me while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper."
"Wooh! I hope for a better and comfortable life. From this day, I will never give up and I won't let my problems drag me down.
Until I remembered what happened to me when I was eight years old.
It was exactly the day that my life became miserable and hopeless.
*Age 8*
One day, I was going back home after my class.
I was just eight at that time, I've been waiting for mother and father to fetch me but the sun was no longer visible.
I was too afraid that I'm might sleep in our room, so I've decided to walkway back to our home until I saw a truck coming to my way.
I couldn't move my feet, I was in shocked and I heard people shouting, screaming and afraid.
Until I was hit by the truck. My body was numb that I can't feel anything.
But people still, screaming for help.
I don't understand what's happening in me, but I know I'm lying in the middle of the road, bleeding.
My head hurts, that I can't forget how it feels.
I saw mother, crying and running towards me.
She kneeled down and touched my body. "Hold on, Sophie." That was the last words I heard before I closed my eyes.
The next day, I woke up in the hospital and my head, still aching.
I tried to move my feet but I can't do it. I looked around and I saw mother, crying at the corner. "Mother!" I called her weakly.
I want to ask the mother what happened to my feet and to my head.
Mother wiped her tears and stepped closer to me.
She held my hands and replied tremblingly, "Oh my God! You're awake now Sophie! We're so worried about you! It's been 7 days after the accident."
Mother cupped my face. "Seven days? I've been sleeping in a week, mother?" I asked her.
I tried to sit, I tried to move my body but I'm too weak and feeble.
"Yes. The doctor said that there are broken bones at both legs, but don't worry, you're fine now.
Unfortunately, there's bad news, Sophie." Mother looked at me with pity. The last thing I saw her like that when I was six when I was attacked by asthma.
I don't know why I was born sickly. Mother and father would tell me how they struggled when I was young.
I felt guilty because my parents were blessed with a sickly and timid daughter.
I shook my head, a sign that I'm ready to hear the bad news. Mother looked away and said, mumbling. "Because of the accident, your head was hit by the rock, and it causes total blindness.
That's why your head keeps on aching and the doctor frankly said that there's only 1 % of chance for you to see again."
I felt like I was slapped by a million times. First Asthma and heart enlargement and now, total blindness.
I felt hopeless and disappointed with myself.
I am just an eight years old girl, who dreamt to be a top star but how can I achieve it when I have become totally blind?
How can I get on the peak of all mountains, when my parents suddenly changed?
Mother hated me because I'm going to be blind.
Father, never talked to me after the accident and he wasted all his money for nonsense.
Until we lost our dream house, our luxurious cars, and everything we had for almost twelve months.
How can I reach it, when our money just vanished in one snap?
How can I be a top star, when I am just an ordinary and poor girl?
I'm too young for all of these pain and obstacles. But, I remained faithful to him and humble.
I know, at the right time, I'll reach it. I'll achieve it and all the people will be inspired by my story.
"In the name of life, I will be a top star."
I posted that saying in my old room, and until now, it's still there, old and dusty.
