Up on the roof, I ran around in short bursts of speed.
Stamping my foot,
hitting against surfaces,
anything to try and escape what I was feeling.
Then the tears came,

God I hated the tears.

This was the second time I was crying in a span of less than 24 hours.

I had never felt this helpless in my life, so frustrated.

I sniffed like a little child and hated myself for it.

I was a big girl,
in a messed up situation.

I should be trying to figure out how to get out of it,

and the best I could do right now was cry.

I slapped my face severally and squeezed my eyes shut bidding the tears to stop, but of course, it was to no avail.

I held the sides of my head with the heels of my palms, and shouted out loud,
"Seriously Eva, is this the best you can do?? "

I dragged myself to the edge of the roof, and looked down to the ground.

Patients, doctors, nurses and visitors walked and wheeled around,
I stared for some minutes,

looking but not seeing.

My vision became blurred, images began swimming in front of my eyes,

I caught myself and realized I should be completely sober, near the edge of the roof,

This was no place to get emotional, or something really bad could happen.

I looked at the goings on on the ground,
and spotted a figure in a navy dust coat,
coming out of the hospital cafeteria holding a white  package.

Only one person in the hospital wore a blue coat,
Javani.

The pathologist,

And that gave me an idea.

Just in case things became really bad.

Just then my pager beeped in my pocket, I checked and it was from Ward 10,

Joshua calling me for lunch.

For the first time since yesterday I smiled .
