Christian's head hurt bad, like when you get whacked in the head with a baseball, unexpected and painful. He clutched at his forehead with his left hand while he felt around with his right. He could feel the crack of the sidewalk below his feet, he moved up it and sure enough he came to grass. Still slightly dizzy he stumbled over the lawn hoping to find the house. With a huge shock to his system Christian fell over the curb and into the streets. He was furious with himself. He should have been more carful. He hadn't kept track of which side of the road he was on, what was wrong with him. His life revolved around him being organized and in control. The moment a faint glimpse of hope sprung up he'd abandoned it all.

Christian moved his hands over the ground looking for something to help himself up by. To his horror his fingers touched the front gill of a car. He hadn't just stumbled off the sidewalk but actually into the road. He was so stupid. Christian pulled himself but by the car and leaned on the hood for a second gathering his thoughts.

There was the sound of a car door then, "Hey," a girl said gently, "You okay? You need some help?"

Christian almost jumped out of his skin. Of course there was someone in the car. He'd walked into the middle of the road, what was wrong with him. Help, yes he needed help but what if this girl had seen him weaving through the sidewalk. If he accepted help she no doubt would figure out that he was blind them she would ask him how that was possible. The smart thing to do would be to say he was fine and move on. Find someone else to help. It was the middle of the day Wednesday who would be there to help him. The kids were at school, the parents at work. Just because it was his day off didn't mean that it was others.

"Yes please thank you."

He needed to lie his ass off now. It would be easy. Some new method to help that blind that had broken down mid use. Yeah. But he'd wait till she asked. He ran his fingers along the car until he came to the passengers side door handle. "If it's not too much trouble can you give me a lift back home, I've sort of lost my way."
