Chapter I
Since I was 6 years old, my life was pure darkness, I did not know what light was, since that accident where I lost my mother and my sight, things did not do the same again, my father and brother tried to help me and make me understand that nothing of what step was my fault
The doctors said that it was up to me to regain my sight since my brain blocked certain things such as sight and the accident
My father decided that moving would be of great help for a change of climate and maybe it will help me to get better, when I turn 16 we moved to Los Angeles .. Leaving our beloved Mexico behind
- Lea all this I know you are going to love it - says my father smiling as he gets out of the car and approaches the moving truck while my brother Andrés helps me out.
-Please try it -She says -Hate to see what you've become, I miss my sister, you know
-"She's gone," I say in a low voice as I take my cane tightly.
-I know he's hiding under your iron wall -Although I can't see him, I know he's smiling like an idiot -CoMichecar'll show you everything -He says sarcastically -Of course you can't see, better narrated what we see
He takes me by the hand and guides me talking about everything he sees, from the smallest to the largest, he gives me details of everything and I know that by his tone of voice he is happy
-Hi -A sweet voice sounds behind us- I'm Michelle
-Hi, how are you, I'm Andres and she is my sister Lea- My brother is somewhat nervous
-So they are my new neighbors -It is more a statement than a question -I am very happy to have new people in the neighborhood -Although I do not see my sense, they are more active and I know when someone is around happy sad in a bad mood among other things and my sixth sense detects that my brother is going to get along very well with the neighbor -I have a 17-year-old brother maybe they get along very well
-I don't think so -Andrés lets out a sigh -I won't be able to do the same as him, because you haven't noticed that I'm blind -Screw my cane
-AND? -Question -That doesn't stop you from being a pretty girl with a bitter face -He says- I like you and I know my brother will like you too
And from that day on, Michelle and her brother Jacob, or my biggest nightmare, as I say, became very close to us, even her family, since we moved three months ago, we became very good friends.
Hello my bitterness - says jocab - Where is your brother?
It must be with your sister -I tell her while I keep running my fingers through my Braille
You teach me ? -Shy question since when is he shy
What did J teach you? - I stop what I'm doing and go to where I think he is
To read like you - sits next to me

I thought it would be difficult to teach the neural half to read with my book, but he learned quickly, he could read each letter or sign through the dots and it was great for. I spent a nice afternoon with Jacob without having to insult him or throw something at him that always fails for obvious reasons to stop bothering me
Since I arrived in Los Angeles my life has completely changed, my father is happier, my brother is happier and I am more kind, or so they both say, the Janes family has been very helpful since we arrived. here, my brother. he goes to high school where michelle is studying and they helped me find a suitable school for me where it is close to Jacob's school I go with him and go back to him
I can ask you something without bothering you -Ask while you help me out of the car
-Depends JJ, if it's stupid
Let out a sigh - Do you want to go with me to the aquatic? -I know you're nervous I hear your breathing somewhat accelerated
-Jacob you know I can't see
-Lea I can tell everything we see -Take my hands -Please tell me that if you will see everything through my eyes I promise you
And well he did not lie since we were 17 years old Jacob turned my eyes he told me everything he saw and he still does, he is already 21 years old, he is in college and he is still my eyes they are still my best friend and my boyfriend for two years
I cannot deny that at first I am afraid to accept since I know that there are many girls more beautiful than me who can see and do things like the normal ones that coincide with me, they are all different, he has to tell me where to sit, how many steps to take , guide me when we go to places unknown to me and among many other things and I am still afraid that someone better than me will find there.
