Third person's POV :
Her mom started panicking and shouting her name when she saw the terrible view infront of her sight which she never wanted to see..
She ran towards her daughter who was trembling in pain.. her face was pale as never before as the blood was rapidly flowing out of her body..
"Raquel? P-please hold o-o-on.. " she shouted as she grabbed a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her wrist.
She called Andrew while crying hard.. her husband was out of city. He was actually never there for them whenever his wife and daughter needed him the most.
Luckily Andrew came on time and took Raquel to hospital.

Raquel's POV :
I was just laying on the bed staring at the ceiling thinking about that terrible incident . Then some other moments flashed through my mind and I slightly smiled thinking about them.
[FLASHBACK]
Hospital -
When I opened my eyes I felt my body in contact with a comfy and soft material.. it was the bed. But I didn't know where I was.. I started moving my hands to feel my surroundings. And I realized that my hand is ruffling someone's short and soft hairs. His head was resting on my stomach.
It was Andrew.
He woke up feeling the small movements I was making..
"How are you feeling?" He said in a sweet and calming voice .
I didn't know what he was talking about until the memories of last night came into my mind.
I started tearing up. I didn't want to think about that .
He wipes my tears and takes my face in between both of his hands to cup my cheeks.
"W-why did you save me Andrew?" I said holding back my tears "I didn't wanted to wake up.. I wanted to sleep peacefully" I said to him in a very low voice.
He didn't reply me and instead pulled me into a tight hug, which I really needed. He is the only one who can calm me down. I rested my head on his chest, feeling the warmness of his body.
"I need you Raquel.. how could you think of leaving me alone here?" He whispered in my ear. "Andrew.. you.. you didn't come that day to the park.. I know I'm useless and I can't make you happy.." "What?" He cutted me off without letting me finish my sentence.
"What the hell are you talking about?" He continued. "I didn't come that day because a close friend of mine got into an accident.. I had to rush there because his mom was so worried.. and in all this rush I forgot to inform you that's all. How could you think of such nonsense? I love you more than anything in this world".
"Really? Was this the reason you didn't come?" I asked him in surprise. He sighed annoyingly .
"Offcourse! How could I leave you hanging in there?" He replied in a stern voice.
"Andrew I.. I don't know what to do.. I don't know why these thoughts keep messing me up and above all.. " I paused.. gathering up the courage to pronounce the words I'm about to spit..
"A girl like me can be of no use to you.. How can you love a blind girl?"
"What can I do to make you believe that I love you?" He said in a sad tone. "Yeah alright.. you are blind! But that dosent affect me, I don't care can't you see? Your presence is all that I want. The only thing which strengthens me everyday is your voice, your hug, your touch and just YOU. I just want you by my side babes.. you're my everything".
I started tearing up receiving those words of love from him.. and I could feel that he was also crying because of his cracked voice.
"No, don't cry, It aches my heart.. and look what you've done to yourself huh?" He said in a hoarse voice while wiping my tears from my face.
"I.. I'm s-s-sorry Andrew" I said barely as a whisper.
"I love you babe" He whispered back.
"I'm at my worst now.. do you still love me? I asked him. He chuckled at my question and said "Specially at your worst baby". I hold him close to me and fill my heart up with his warmth.
[END OF FLASHBACK]
I got up from my bed all happy and cheerful.. I went downstairs to eat with my mom.
"Eat well, honey" she said while patting my back. I smiled at her.
It was mid-night, we went to our own rooms and I lied down on my bed and covered myself with a warm blanket and closed my eyes.. but I couldn't sleep.. I was just rolling around my bed and changing positions.
Man I miss him.
Should I call? Yeah .
I called him as his number was the only one saved in my mobile -,-.
"Hey babes" he replied in his sleepy voice. "Were you sleeping?" I asked him. " I was about to sleep .. I guess I'll sleep well as my princess has called me" His tone was raspy.. it was giving me shivers down my spine. "Well you sound sleepy.. let's meet tomorrow!!" I replied. He yawned on the phone then I heard him chuckling. "I guess you're right hm let's sleep, love you bye "
I hung up.
Well, atleast I can sleep peacefully now.
_
I woke up at the sound of my alarm beeping. I lazily went towards my bathroom and did my morning routine.
I made my way towards my kitchen and there my mom was cooking and I could smell some fresh and sweet pancakes. "Good morning honey, did you sleep well?" She asked me. " Yep.. but I'm so hungry .." I said while holding my stomach. " Breakfast is ready , let's go and eat! "
She took my hand and led me to the garden. I loved the feeling of being under the open sky.. so we always had breakfast in the garden.
"Mom? Will dad be there during my surgery?" I asked her while stuffing some pancakes into my mouth.
"He said he will try his best dear, don't worry" she replied me.
I hummed in response. Well, what was the last time he was here? I can't even remember. Why do I care anyway !
[Time skip to 2 pm]
I was at my singing classes right now. I was testing my vocals as the teacher said. I was blind but I could sing really well. Painting is my side hobby. These are the things through which I can describe my feelings.
I felt somebody holding my hand and sitting Infront of me. "Raquel.. I'm so proud of you. Your voice is so beautiful" my teacher said in a calming voice. "Thanks alot.. I'm trying my best" I replied while smiling. "Offcourse you are our motivation" she said while patting my back and I nodded.
I really like when somebody complimentes my voice.
[Time skip to 5 pm]
I left my class and made my way towards my home holding the silver stick in my hand to guide me way back to my home!
I was walking straight towards my house when I heard footsteps behind me and I could feel that somebody was following me. The footsteps got louder and the next thing I knew I was picked up by somebody in bridal style. I flinched at that sudden action and tried my best to get out of his grip.
"Who the hell are you? Leave me right now" I yelled at him .
