Why Does My Eye Feel Bruised When I Blink Novels & Stories

Letta slowly began to blink her eyes. For some reason, her whole body felt extremely sore. Even her head was pulsating heavily, causing Letta to grimace as she reached out, massaging her temples. However, her movement stopped when she felt something unfamiliar attached to her wrist. It made Letta finally begin to blink, focusing her gaze.

His hands are shaking on the wheel as he steers us back onto the highway. I'm shaking, too. The tingling in my cheek has turned into more of a prickling feeling, and now my whole head hurts. I reach up and gently touch my face. Slivers of pain shoot across my skin. It still feels much warmer than normal, almost feverish, and I can already tell it's getting puffy. I wonder if the swelling will reach my eye. I can only imagine the bruise I'm going to have.

I'm shocked at what I see. There's blood trickling down his forehead and there's a bruise under his eye. It didn't swell his eye, but it was enough to discolor the area around it so far. I watch as the blood drips on the floor of the bedroom. He wipes it with the sleeve of his blazer. "What are you doing up here?"

he yells from the other end but I slowly back away and sit on the bed. I stare at the door until the other end is drowned out in silence. Making my way to the bathroom I feel around my eye. He had hit me several times but only managed to hit me once in the face tonight. Looking in the mirror I see a red, swollen right eye which is not only puffy from the crying but puffy as it's forming a bruise which will be evident tomorrow morning. I apply a cold press to my eye as I step into the shower and get ready for bed.

Tristan helped me sit up, by doing something that made a quarter of the bed, suddenly begin to rise. "Is it fine like this?" He asked, and I nodded. "It feels so itchy, wet, and like something's moving in my eye." I complained immediately, since one wasn't meant to keep quiet about discomfort when with a doctor. "It's a natural effect. You'll feel like that, and your eyes will water a lot, but don't you worry, you'll be able to use your eyes properly in no time." He replied. "So, I can see right now?" I asked, and he chuckled.

His injured body stirred slightly, having received a vial of life. I leaned closer to place my forehead on his. Our skin held on to each other like magnets. A sharp, pain rose in my head. I could feel a sting in my eyes. It felt like my eyes were poked with sharp pins. My eyes watered. I was testing up. I felt the first drop escape my eyelids but it didn't feel like the usual runny feel of tears. It was thicker and smelt like…. Blood.

BLAISE It’s cold. I blink, eyelids heavy. The right underside of my neck aches with a dull pain, as if I’d slept on it wrong last night. There are blurs of gold, lines streaking vertically across my vision. I blink again, eyes creasing together. The lines slowly come into focus. At first, I’d thought that I was dreaming.

the doctor warned. " What's wrong with her eyes?” My mom asked. “It seems that the impact to her face caused a severe trauma to her optic nerves, leading to temporary blindness. It appears there is significant pressure or injury around the eye area, which resulted in the redness you see—this could be due to broken blood vessels or internal bleeding." He said and I turned to look at Lilly's red eyes. “The redness could subside in due time, but the blindness may take some time to recover from—"

The horrendous image blinking back at me under dim, buzzing bathroom lighting in a cracked mirror is sobering. I look awful, my eyes are starting to circle with the tell-tale blue darkness and the bridge of my nose is swollen and bruised already. My skin pale and blotchy from tears and traces of being unwell and my eyes look red and veiny. The blood cleans away to reveal an ashen face and a swollen top lip. I’m guessing he got me right in the centre of the face and I might be lucky with just a cracked or bashed nose rather than a broken one. It feels extremely tender and makes me nauseous when I touch it.
