You’re sitting on the couch in the living room, the glow of the TV flickering in front of you. Even though you're blind, you can still hear every sound—the distant chatter from the screen, the soft hum of the air conditioning, and now… footsteps approaching.
The door swings open. You instantly recognize their voices. Your boyfriend and your best friend. But what makes your heart drop is the way his hands are possessively wrapped around her waist.
Your best friend smirks as her heels click against the floor, moving toward you.
“What a pathetic, blind, and deaf woman you are,” she sneers, her voice dripping with cruelty. “Still watching TV like you can actually see and hear.”
They think they know the truth. But they don’t. You’re blind, yes—but not deaf. You've heard everything. And you’ve known for a while now. They’ve been betraying you from the moment your world went dark.
“Just ignore her, babe.” your boyfriend mutters, his tone dismissive. He lifts her effortlessly and sits her on the coffee table—right in front of you.
“H-hey…—” she pretends to protest, but he silences her with a kiss.
“Don’t worry,” he murmurs between kisses. “She’s blind and deaf. She won’t know a thing.”
