INTROSPECTIVE

Chapter 5

He had beautiful eyes.They were a light brown with wisps of green and blue scattered on the edge of his irises.Paired with his gorgeous eyebrows and eyelashes,Eva thought he had quite sinful eyes.Sinfully beautiful.And she felt like she could get lost in the depth of those eyes for eternity.in alle Ewigkeit.

But eternity was cut off in a split second when the boy bent down and retched for all he was worth all over Eva's heels.She was stunned and disgusted all at the same time as she looked at her feet.A stroke of anger travelled through her body but when she raised her eyes to glare at him and noted the tinge of red in his eyes that was there due to the toll vomiting must have taken on his body,all puke was forgotten.Panic threatened to grip her again.

A nurse and a doctor immediately rushed in and she was shooed out of the room.Reluctantly she left,with her heart in her throat.

************************************

It was 1:00 p.m. the next day when the nurses finally convinced Eva to give herself some time to freshen up and rest.She had stayed in the hospital room ever since the first time the patient woke up only leaving once to clean her feet and get the pair of sandals she always carried in her car.They had tried to convince her that he was better and that now he only needed plenty of rest to let his brain recover.He would even be discharged the next morning.

Moving her sore behind on that uncomfortable seat,Eva resigned to fact that she did need a break.Her head was pounding and she needed to stretch a little bit.Sitting there for more than 8 hours was exhausting. Besides,he looked so peaceful,a few minutes wouldn't hurt.

She groggily walked through the corridors of the hospital searching for a washroom.The hospital was not that big.It was only a district hospital after all.It took her ten minutes to find a washroom,delayed by her exhausted brain.At least her half-asleep brain saved her the trouble of acknowledging all the curious and occassionally judgemental looks she was getting as she made her way towards the washroom.She couldn't blame them really,her figure-hugging little dress that stopped at her mid-thigh and her starkingly purple hair tended to atrract attention.Plus she hadn't even gotten rid of her punk inspired make-up.Smudged make up that is.So she could attest to the fact that she was quite a sight.

The cold water on her face made her feel slightly more human.Tea is all she needed now to stop feeling like a zombie.Then she needed to start calling people.People who might start getting concerned about where she has disappeared to in the last 9 hours.Like her friends whom she had left in the club last night.She was meant to have been the designated driver of the trio last night.Scheise!She needed to call them as soon as possible but her phone was in her car.

Imagining all the worst possible scenarios,she made haste through the corridors retracing her steps back to the room so that she could inform the nurse that she would be leaving for at least an hour.The guilt and worry snuffed out whatever lethargy she had been feeling.

Stumbling into the room rather noisily,she was welcomed with the sight of an empty bed where the boy whom she had knocked over with her car was lying only 25 minutes ago.Fear clutched her heart.

"WHERE IS HE?"she shouted at the nearest nurses she found.They gave her helpless looks.

Frustrated, she sped to the reception almost bumping into everyone on her way.

"The patient,the one in the recovery room in the private ward.The young man he's missing."she stuttered.

An elderly nurse noticing Eva was on the brink of hysteria came to Eva's aid."Please calm down madam.Kindly tell me the room number of this patient?"

"Room 3.Please tell me he's okay.Is he getting worse?Did you move him to another room?" She paused momentarily a look of trepidation crossing her face."Has he passed away?"she whispered quietly.

"Madam please calm down."

"Then answer my questions dammit!"Her exasperated voice indicating she had long crossed over the line that bordered hysteria.Dread tightened its vice-like hold on her.This woman was taking to long to help.No one was helping!Her eyes searched around frantically for someone who was going to be more effective in helping her.That's when she spotted through thw window a tall figure clad in all black,limping through the parking lot.

Like a rabid dog with a piece of meat dangled infront of him, Eva rushed out of the hospital,this time actually knocking down two people in her path.

"Hey!"

Not looking back,he increased his pace.

"Hey!"Eva yelled more infuriated than she was before because of the fact that he was purposefully trying to get away from her.Darn it!He was really fast for a limping man.

"HEY!STOP!"This time he actually glanced back and that was all Eva needed to finally catch up with him.

They were at the edge of the road now.Those sinful eyes regarded her with confusion.

"W...hy are you leaving?"she stuttered all anger replaced with shame as she rembered that she was the cause of the accident."Please..... you need to get back."she said in between breaths.

"I'm leaving."he stated simply and turned his attention back to the road.He wasn't good at answering questions, was he?She had asked him why he was leaving.But she ignored this.

Alarmed,Eva shot up from her bent down posture."Are you insane? It's too dangerous.You're suffering from a concussion."

"Who are you?"

"I'm...I'm the one that knocked you down with a car yesterday."

Recognition flicked through his eyes.

"All the more reason to leave,"And with that he turned away from Eva and crossed the road,prompting several motorists to hoot at him.

Eva cursed and desperately tried to follow him but by that time,he had made his way to the bus stop across the road and was boarding it.

The bus was picking up speed by the time Eva managed to reach the other side of the road.Darn it!Really,outsped by a limping guy.She threw her arms up in surrender.She didn't even know his name.

in alle Ewigkeit-for all eternity.Eva could drown in the depth of his eyes for all eternity.Oh and the words are German.
