Apple of My Eye Page #5

You do not have to apologize. I understand.

Who's your little friend?

-This Is Apple. Hey, Apple.

She's not a jumper, but I got in anyway a horse.

Yes, she has a very important job.

And she can certainly learn to jump. -So?

Yes. Not high jumps or so,

but if she can learn the commands, she can learn to jump.

Over types of logs?

Yes, in mostly.

Which horse is this?

The Cole. Your favorite.

Do you think I can sit on him again?

Bailey, I do not think it's a good idea.

Only once. Please?

It's different, to be up here without being able to see.

It's as if I see other things.

What do you mean?

I see the other senses.

As with Sebastian and his photos.

Imagine that I thought it was okay that others saw me ride past.

But now it feels as if everyone staring at me.

I guess the difference is that now when people look

it is because they feel sorry for me.

Time to sit by, Bails.

Are you going to tell me what is wrong?

Maybe I'll start with what is right, there is a shorter list.

It can not be that bad.

It just would not be like this.

In a week, I would have gone to the national competition,

and I can not even sit on a horse, let alone jump.

Did you have to sell your horse?

No. We rented one of the stables.

Cole, but he was not my real.

Now you have your own horse.

That's good. It's a step up.

Okay, not literally of course. But...

Yes, Apple is great, but ...

And you have parents who support you.

Yes, but ... That's more than most have.

I understand that, but it's still the bottom.

Bottom.

You got at least look 15 years.

Yes, but it makes it harder. You do not know what you're missing.

You think not that I miss to see? -I guess so.

If you really think I have it easier

then you are not as smart as I thought.

Think about it.

When someone says "horse", you know at least how it looks.

I have no idea. I need to find it.

And I have most probably completely wrong.

When someone says: "The sunset is beautiful"

then you know what a sunset looks.

I...

I will never know.

And it's not easy.

-Are you mad at me? -Yes.

Yes it's me. I would kill to be in your shoes.

To have experienced vision for 15 years.

To have a family that cares about what I'm going through.

To them I'm just a burden.

Do not even take home a guide dog,

because my mother is stressed out by having a dog at home.

I have come here for that.

I do not carry that weight on my shoulders.

I handle it.

So which one do when things happen.

Grow up, Bailey.

Come on, Rocco. Hold on, Sebastian. Sorry.

I did not think of that. I did not know that.

Here.

-Rocco, Come here. -What is this?

Sebastian, what is it?

Margaret & Isaac Barpol

Veterinrcentrum

Can you call my parents? The battery died and I need to go home.

Yes. Is everything okay?

Can I ask something?

I'm guessing it's about Seb?

He's tough, Bailey.

And.

I do not know him so well.

We did not grow up together. There is probably no one who knows him well.

-What do you mean? He is not open to other.

I mean...

The humor. I think it's a defense mechanism.

No, I mean that if you did not grow up together.

He has not talked to you about it?

I'll take your silence as a no.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. He says nothing for others.

He and Mom left when we were little, before I lost my sight,

and I moved in with my dad.

We first began to know each other

a couple of years ago when they moved back.

Now I understand better.

It affected our relationship strong,

because he believes that I am the lucky.

He has been through a lot.

Yes, he has.

He is stubborn, so he does not let go.

It is good.

Hi, it's me. I'm going to bed

but I called to say I'm sorry about what happened today.

I was fussy.

I actually learned what it means today.

This means that you are unnecessarily sensitive or irritated about something unimportant.

And that was what I was, I was fussy. Really fussy.

It is not what I am. I'm not a fussy person.

You have shown that this need not be a life sentence.

Technically, it is there,

but it does not mean that I can not fully enjoy life.

You are an inspiration.

It sounds like a clich, but it's true.

And since I have svamlat on about this,

and you probably have not listened,

I just want to say that I really need you in my life.

Weather, and.

Good night.

Hello.

How much did you hear? -Almost everything.

What happened?

It's a long story.

Longer than the voice message?

Probably not.

Who was it?

Sebastian.

Excuse me what did you say?

Sebastian?

Okay.

Who is Sebastian?

He's a guy.

He's a guy. Yeah, Mom, a guy.

Okay, we can talk about guys. And?

I met him on Sydstras guide dogs.

And he is amazing,

but I think I messed up everything.

Which does not come as a surprise, because I've f***ed everything lately.

Bails, you're too hard on yourself.

I'm sure he forgives you.

Perhaps.

Your friends then? Have you thought about contacting them?

Yes I will.

It's just that when I go somewhere or do something

it feels as if everyone staring at me.

And if I mess up, we see everyone and it's scary.

I understand. It is certainly scary.

It will take some time.

And fortunately, you have the little monster to keep you in a good mood.

Yes, I do not know what I would do without her.

-You Would be a nuisance. -Mother!

I'm kidding.

A little.

You want to know something cool? -Yes what?

I still dream in color.

That's nice, right? -It is so cool.

What should we dream about last night?

- -

Rainbows and ...

Sebastian.

Let us dream of Sebastian.

He is cute.

-What on earth? -This Is Apple. My companions.

There was indeed something new.

How is it going? Have you noticed anything different?

Reduced vision or defects in the visual field?

Sometimes I wake up and everything is blurred,

so that it is almost black and white.

I can no longer decide what color things are.

Everything looks the same.

There are common symptoms. Would you say it gets worse?

And.

How much can you see now?

Type...

Not so much.

Can you see how many fingers I hold up?

All? Five, I mean.

What can we do, doctor?

There are not many options left.

Some doctors have tried to deal with strong corticosteroids,

which are synthetic drugs that are used for a variety of ailments,

but with mixed results.

And it is not a proven treatment.

We can try, right? Is it a good idea?

Do you think it's worth it?

Personally I do not think it's worth the side effects,

but I'm willing to do what you want.

Bailey, what do you think?

-I do not care. -Gumman, This is important.

Honestly, I do as you wish.

Come again.

What are you doing?

Bailey?

You scared me!

You should not do that. You could have hurt you.

You can not be mad at me when I'm mad at you.

Are you still upset? -No.

I can not ask you to accept your problems

and then refuse to accept my own problems.

I should not have mentioned it.

Unless this catastrophic accident had taken over your life.

Was that all?

I was about to drive all the "to be or not to be".
