Feeling the furry animal crawling on the bed, the blonde girl groaned and attempted to roll away to no use. The dog nosed the blanket completely off her master and was nipping lightly at Toni's arm to attempt to wake her up again. Finally, she turned her head toward her dog and shoved her, not really knowing which part she was going for first just knew it was the dog. Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes to get them watered. She always woke up with wet eyes for some reason, her mother always told her it was because she cried in her sleep from her dreams but she never believed it. Knowing she had happy dreams most of the time. Reaching out and patting the bed beside her, the golden retriever hopped up next to her and she wrapped her arms around the dog's neck. Pressing the side of her head against her dog's neck she yawned and stroked the dog's head gently with a sigh. Toni hated getting up early but knew she had to, if the dog had to go she had to go it wasn't like she could just see the spot and clean it up, and she hated making trouble for the cleaning staff that worked for her parents anyway. "Every damn morning, Lyla...can't sleep in at all can I? No I can't," she said grabbing the dogs head putting her nose against Lyla's and giggles softly feeling the small touch of the dog's tongue. Leaning back and wiping the slobber from her face with the blanket she stood up and grabbed Lyla's seeing-eye dog collar and clasped it on the golden canine. It wasn't the normal harness, Toni couldn't stand those, they looked gaudy. So she just had a custom made collar that said "service dog" in red letters printed on a black cloth collar. She didn't like being obviously blind, the California-born girl thought it was just asking for pity, something she couldn't stand. Moving to the draws she ran her fingers over them to feel the small stickers she placed to mark which drawer held what clothes. Getting dressed, having taken a shower the previous night, in a pair of boot-cut jeans and a white camisole with black low tops that she tied in the perfect bow she learned knew from a child, well she figured it looked perfect. In Antonia's mind the world looked perfect, basically the only full memories of what everything looked like was when she was a child, everything looked amazing and perfect to a child. Toni knew her surroundings probably looked nothing how she pictured them, but she could hope, at least. Grabbing the leash from the table sitting right by the door, she made sure to remember it was there knowing damn well she'd trip over it if she forgot. Leaning down on her knees she patted her stomach for the dog to come over and press her skull against the small girl's stomach, she felt for the metal clasp and clipped the leash onto the collar. Standing up she moved toward the door and felt down the heavy metal part before she could grab the skinny handle and push it down opening it and let Lyla in front of her and held the leash taught so she could be sure of where the dog was steering her blind owner. Feeling the wall with the tips of her fingers, just lightly, as if any normal person would just run their hand along the wall. She even made sure to look toward it every now and then as if seeing what her fingers felt going over it, simply out of habit. Toni did work so hard with appearing to have her vision, it was something she had worked on since she was a little girl knowing that she would need it when she got older. She would walk around in the dark, where she was completely blind, and do the normal things she did in the day light practicing what it would be like to have no vision what so ever. She had accepted that she would go blind at a very young age, she had no regrets but only wished there was some way she could do more adrenalin pumping activities. Toni used to love testing death as a child, but now the most mundane activity tested death for the blonde, and that might have been the only thing she hated about her life. Getting to the stairs she carefully felt with her foot to see where each step was while holding the leash tight on Lyla. Knowing the dog had kicked into working mode, she completely trusted the golden retriever and followed every turn, stop, and move to be able to get around her beach house and out of it only having to push the door open and lock it behind her. Venturing out onto the sidewalk, she did not even bother seeing if her parents were home or calling them to tell them where she was, they could call her. She wanted a break from her parents and to just walk around the town. After a while of walking around she decided to venture into the mall, she figured was the mall after hearing the bus driver of the local bus she always rode to town in say shopping center, and figured she could grab a bite to eat there and maybe buy some candles for her room. Sitting down at a bench in the middle of the two sides of stores, she held her smoothie that she bought upon entering the mall at an ice cream parlor in the beginning of it. Even though she couldn't see what stores she was near, she could damn well smell what food was around, and one of Lyla's favorite treats just happened to be vanilla ice cream. Moving the small ice cream cone she got for Lyla to let her lick it not caring about having her dog be in work mode while she was just sitting. She accidentally dropped the vanilla cone on the floor and it rolled for a minute until Lyla moved and stood in the middle of the walkway eating away at her ice cream, Toni just couldn't tell where her dog was standing and that she was now right in front of someone who was walking by. Only way she had any hint to it was that she could hear Lyla moving her head up and panting at the person begging to be pet and ignoring her treat. "Lyla, move back over here you're in people's way," she whispered commandingly knowing her dog could hear and would listen unless she really was in front of someone. Feeling no dog at her side, Toni sighed and looked up to the direction of the person. "Sorry about her, she's an attention hog," speaking kindly towards the possible stranger and moved her head to "look" back at the dog, just in case she wasn't looking in the right direction that it wouldn't be for too long and she could give Lyla her main attention. gotta love dogs that can go anywhere <3 |
