It wasn’t that hard of a decision to go see Jason. I was into him a lot and there was nothing else that I wanted to do but go see him. I tried to think of all of the great things that we were going to do, but I wasn’t sure. What sort of mood was he going to be in? He was the sort of man that it really mattered. I wasn’t sure if I could put up with him in a bad mood again. I didn’t know if I wanted to.

When I got there, Jason was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood. He said that someone was coming over to pick something up, but Kyle would be gone before too long. I told him that he didn’t have to run his friends off, but that just got me a look and I didn’t know what to say to him. Of course, there was stuff that I wanted to do as well.

“So, if we are waiting for Kyle to get here, I guess I wonder what it is that you wanted to talk about the other day? Maybe you can tell me about all those scars on your back. You’ve been shot a few times.”

My smile fell and I swear I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to say to that. “How do you know that?”

Jason sighed. “I am blind, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t feel them. I know what a shot scar feels like. I have a few myself, so I know that is what it is.”

I clicked my tongue and I guess that it was just as well. I had expected him to tell me things that he didn’t want to tell me, so I guess I was going to have to do the same. It was hard to fathom how much I didn’t want to though.

“It was just a bad run in when I was doing my job as a soldier. We were supposed to be getting a terrorist and instead of taking the shot that we had, I told my team to hold off because of a kid that was in the way, and they all died. I got shot several times, but I lived. Lucky me. Those scars are all I have left now, though I can’t even see them. Sometimes I touch them, and it reminds me.”

“So, you fix people now, because you couldn’t fix them before?” Jason asked. When he said it like that, making it all sound so simple, I didn’t know if I liked the way he made me feel or not.

I shrugged for an answer, before I remembered that he needed more than that. I didn’t know why him saying that got to me so badly, but it did. I felt like he could really see me. “Yeah, something like that.”

Jason said that he was glad that I was trying to fix him, but I was honest when I said that it wasn’t my intention.
