Four days has pass since I've been staying over the Reed's house. So far I'm still a fail on making Liam talk to me. Everytime I make an effort and initiate a conversation with him still no response. It's becoming really quite it makes me uncomfortable for a second, if not for Gab to fill the silence by his constant barking I'll probably lose it. Kidding! Anyways I actually made a decision just now. I realize that I'm not going to waste two months without doing anything and help Liam. He can hate me, ignore me and give me cold shoulders all he want but I know this is the right thing to do. It's now or never.

I heard a knock on my door and release a deep breathe. It's starting I thought to myself I didn't response to her obviously. I listen to the sound of Madison's footstep as she walk to the table to put down the tray I guess. "Good morning Liam! How did you sleep?" she ask. This become a habit of her since four days ago and I didn't bother to respond. It's not like I'm oblige to return her greeting or tell her how's my sleep, we're not friends or ever going to be.
While I kept gazing to nothing but darkness I heard her mutter softly to which I didn't hear. "Do you want to help make lunch later?" she asks, that caught me off guard and turn to her voice. "What did you say?" I said, I actually heard her the first time but still ask because what she just ask is absurd. "Oh I'm just wondering if you want to help me make lunch later, it will be of your choice." she said not taking her words back, had she become insane? "If you want me to cut off my fingers then yes that would be great." I said with full of sarcasm.
"Of course you won't cut off your fingers that's why I'm here, I will guide you." She's really not kidding and actually going to make me cook. "Then no! You can leave now or do you want me to die of hunger instead?" "Sorry, well enjoy your breakfast. Come downstairs if you change your mind." she said and walk herself out leaving me to my thoughts.

I did it! I finally asked him. Finally I made him talk more than get out or leave. While outside of Liam's room I quietly did a victory dance and pat myself and make way down the kitchen. I really do hope He'll consider it. He probably thought I'm being silly and impossible, but in my defense I know it's possible. Being blind shouldn't constrict someone on doing anything and most especially doing something you love. I maybe not speaking from experience, but in my opinion those people who thought they can't do anything because they're blind or deaf, or cripple etc, are the best and amazing person when they accomplish something. Why? Because they did something pass their limit and expectation. Everyone can cook, but cooking while blind is spectacular, heart warming and just awesome. And I'm going to make Liam realize just how good and awesome He is and that He can still do something which will give him hope to try again.

I don't know how long I'm sitting here on my bed but the recent event made me sit still and think. Why is she doing this? What is she going to get by doing this? Did my mother ask her to do this? I have so many questions going on my mind and still found no answer, unless I ask her myself to which I'm not going to do. But then it's actually been three years since I did something for myself or anyone. After the accident I suffer depression weeks later. I haven't given myself the time to learn anything other than reading braille books. I just couldn't make myself to do anything and find it really difficult to adjust and accept my situation. Even though my parents tried their best to help me cope or when my old friends visit me to cheer me up, it didn't do anything to me and only made me distance myself to them. Which explain my lacking of social life and interaction with my parents. So that's why I let myself be miserable and just accepted the fact that I'm useless and have no future.
But I had enough of that, which leave one question left on my mind. Am I going to do it or not?
