I enter the corridor and start climbing the stairs. Geez, there were lots of stairs. I think that this is the first time I realize the incredibly limited capacity of my lungs. Oh, well.
When I finally reach the top, I'm short of breath, my chest hurts and my legs shake like they're made of jelly. I know I'm 14 years old, but my body seems like it belongs to an 80 year old.
I look around to see a tight door that opens with a satisfying "click" as I twist the knob. What I see next leaves me breathless.
I was ON THE ROOF. Literally on top of the boarding school.
The view was spectacular. I saw the big roads and traffic and all the skyscrapers with their tops hidden in the clouds. I saw some trees and parks and the whole city filled with lights, music, people chattering and car honks. Everything was so noisy. And while the whole world seemed to be rushing in front of me, I felt like I was standing in a place where time stood still.
I sat down, legs crossed and admired the view for a while. My breaths got slower and easier. My whole body just relaxed and got numb. And that's when I felt it.
Like a river overflowing, once I let my guards down and relaxed, tears started pouring down my cheeks. I wiped them with my sleeve, but they wouldn't stop. I suddenly felt my whole body ache as I started sobbing, curling up in a ball and crying until until my throat felt dry and my stomach hurt. I took a sip of water.
And there I go again. What the hell was wrong with me?? I cried for hours and hours. It felt somewhat nice to be in such a private space and finally being able to let out the pain I was holding.
I sobbed 'till I couldn't feel my arms or lips and my tears finally dried. My whole body felt weak, I could barely stand.
I looked around. It was dark. Oh, dear God. I had classes tomorrow, I had to get to my dorm! What time was it? I tried to check my phone, but It was dead.
"Shoot!" I thought, gathering my stuff and rushing to the door.
IT WAS LOCKED.
