At first sight
Story written on February 19, 2011 by kins40.
Bette felt a profound sadness at hearing the blonde so distraught, she moved closer and took her in her arms in a soft hug. "You are safe here….you are safe here with me….I will not let any harm come to you………….. is there anything I can do…?" she was rocking her gently back and forth, her hand caressing the back of her head lightly.
"This is nice!" Tina said about her current position. "Would you lie down with me for a while?" Her tears had stopped but every so often quiet sobs escaped from the blonde. Bette moved back to lie on the bed and took Tina with her as she did not release their embrace. The blonde’s head was resting on Bette’s left shoulder. She relaxed into the brunette’s body.
Bette hazarded gentle questioning about the crash the blonde had been involved in. Maybe talking about it would help her companion move past the cruel memory. Tina had never really talked about that night and the utter terror she had felt when she tried to escape the burning car. But it had been really nothing in comparison to finding out the accident had left her blind. She started reminiscing detailing for Bette her life for the past two years.
She recalled her lucky escape from the wreck, and her extended stay in hospital. The doctors had run numerous tests and had found that her brain was healthy and so were her eyes which gave her the necessary tools to process subconscious vision but the optic nerves had been damaged in the accident and that meant that she was lacking the circuits that could cobble a clear conscious vision. In short, she could picture thing in her mind but would never ever be able to see them in reality. It was permanent, irreversible. As Tina was speaking, she came to the stark realisation that most of the last two years of her life had been marked by fear and apprehension. She needed to get past this.
Her mind returned to the present.
"I like that……" Tina said out of the blue.
"Like what?" Bette enquired. She had not noticed that during their conversation she had been caressing Tina’s arm which was draped over her stomach.

How terrifying to fall and not be able to see
More please!
Oh my gosh…you did not let this happen!! Please bring Bette back with the car quickly! Please tell me that some good can come of this! I can hardly wait for more! Thank you!!
I hope Bette sees that Tina is need of her help. Please don’t let Tina be really hurt of die.
This is how life always happens isn’t it. You have the best days of your life and then you fall. Will Tina’s sight come back from this hit? Will she like what she physically sees when she sees Bette? Will any of that even happen? Only you can answer my many questions. Please answer them soon. This is such a great story.
Please give us another great chapter. Can’t believe you left us with Tina bleeding on the ground. I hope she regains her sight.
I’m at a loss for words. Wow. That was *good* Going on your A/N, I’d expected it to be something like Tina getting so scared she called Dana to come and get her or sth like that. Anyway, I hope Bette is able to help Tina by bringing her to the hospital in time. Please don’t kill Tina!
I btw must admit that what ladydove said went through my mind for nanosecond as well – will Tina regain eyesight? That would have quite the impact, her whole life is built on the fact that she’s blind now and although she’d probably be happy to see again, it will also feel so strange and maybe in those first few days or months she would long to be blind again. Anyway, I don’t know nearly enough about science, biology or anatomy to know whether that’s even possible with blindness.
That was both beautiful and heartrending. Whatever happens, I wish this story would go on, and on, and on and on….
Ladydove, I have the answer to one of your questions: “Will she like what she physically sees when she sees Bette?” Come on, my friend… I really have no idea what Kins has in store for us, but one thing I know for certain is that if Tina ever recovers her sight, she might surely go blind again because of Bette’s dazzling beauty… Don’t you agree? ;) Thanks a lot for the update Kins, and please let Tina be okay. K
Oh damn, please tell me you already have the next chapter ready to post. Please make Bette look up and see her lying there bleeding. Maybe this will be the shock to the system that will restore her sight. Personally, I think the force of the airbag hitting her in the face is what caused her blindness and now the force of the fall and hitting her head will cause her to see again, hopefully. Bette please look up the sidewalk for Tina or at least get out of that car and go look for her, she has already been gone to long. Great update. Thanks for posting. PPVVS
OMG,please….Let them be o.k.They suffered enough.Great story.Thank you for the update.
The trust that Tina has with Bette is just beautiful. I hope something good comes out of the fall Tina just had. Please post soon.
Awesome fic! Your descriptions of blind people’s world are thorough and heartfelt, thanks.
i was wondering how you were going to have tina fall and hit her head… and hopefully her eyesight returns… love this story..pps
OMG Kins40…! You left us here?!? So cruel…! LOL thanks for another great chapter :-) I’m looking forward to know what happen next..PPVS. Btw still can’t believe Bette let Tina walk by herself on that condition (slippery, raining, etc) regardless how familiar Tina is with her place, however … I believe you won’t let something bad happen, right?? :-) PS: call me silly, but after you left us on the ending of previous chapter, I thought Tina miraculously gain her vision back. But now.. Would it happen?? …. Anxiously waiting for your next post :-)
OMG u leave us again ahhah. Please let Tina be ok, get Bette back and help Tina. Please post more, thanks!
Good Golly! What more can happen to poor Tina? PPS!!
Are you killing me here?.. You’ve melted me like an Ice Cream in their first time “together”..And after that?..You’ve put a knife in my chest for doing this to Tina?… OH MAN…Now you have no choice but to update!…I want to see if she’s ok ..Or at least this accident can help bring her eye sight again? pps?…
