When I got back to my room well technically the hospital room but it might as well be my home now,i inhaled deeply and closed my eyes and just stood at the door for the longest time.I got out of here to end my miserable life but instead I cowardly ran back to my sick bed with no sense of dignity at all,I slowly walked to the bed with thoughts of that man rushing through my head it's like I was in some kind of fantasy dream all my head was filled with was that him ,anyway why would someone just sit on that high building all alone?,it's creepy.I remember when I got to the lower level of the building and looked up ,he was just standing there and the moon suddenly shone on his face and that's when I saw him clearly his eyes were bright blue and he looked just like an angel just standing there.I don't know when I fell asleep but I was woken up by the sound of doctors surrounding me.
"Check his pulse!!!"Dr Orion shouted I was familiar with everyone in this hospital now and I could tell they were panicking .My eyes were a bit blurry so I couldn't make most of the people out but when I glanced at the corner of the room i saw my mother,she was crying and everytime I see her cry my heart aches.Dr Orion started to check my eyes the flash light was just too bright for my liking " He's okay now.That was a close one"i tried to speak but then realized I couldn't that's when I noticed that I had an oxygen mask on,What happened?I tried taking it off but my mother quickly stopped me"Pumpkin no..just rest for now..okay??it's gonna be okay."I could tell that she was upset whatever may have happened to me must have been very hard on her,I've seen her upset a lot of times but today was worse than all days.i watched her talk to the doctor but I couldn't make out most of the words they were saying.i was slowly drifting back to sleep and no matter how hard I tried to stay awake I just couldn't,by the time I woke up mother was already asleep and when I checked the time it was already nine o'clock.i got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up,my body was feeling too weak and I guess I thought taking a bath would help.when I came out I saw Dr Orion sitting at the opposite side of the bed,worry was written all over his face and when he saw me he tried to fake a smile but he could tell it was already too late.i sat down on the bed careful not to wake mother up"Doc ,what's going on??"He put on his straight face"Nothing much you just gave us a scare that's all."I just give a "and"look and he gave the biggest sigh I've ever heard him make"Tell it to me straight doc it's okay."I knew whatever it was must be really bad maybe I have less time than I thought a month or 2 maybe I don't know but in the end I have to face it.He slowly came close to me and held my hands and gave me the biggest concerned look his wrinkled eyes and grey hair seemed to make him a lot older than he should be when he was worried "You have atleast.....3 weeks to live."I felt as though the earth was crushing me beneath it's feet.
I thought I could handle whatever he would tell me and just be cool about it ,but when he told me that I just couldn't handle it,I cried for a long time ,the more i tried to hold my tears the more they just flowed on their own.I didn't want to wake mom up so I quietly walked out of the room and made my way outside.Doc tried to follow and comfort me but I just wanted space,I walked around the hospital like a madman with no direction at all.i was going round and round and my mind was completely blank,I knew death was at my doorstep but I didn't think it would be this close.it was getting harder for me to breathe but I still kept on walking ,I wanted to shout and cry as loud as I couldn't it would be useless either way. Before I knew it I bumped my head on something really strong and when I looked up I think I saw an angel until I realized it was him again,the guy from the roof why is it that I always meet him at night time.I quickly adjusted my posture" I'm sorry,I wasn't looking where I was going."Since he was taller he looked at me like a mere ant passing by until he put on a big wide smile " Hey it's you?.."He looked at me as if unsure but sure "I'm sorry ,you have the wrong person."I tried to walk away but he held me ,his hands were so big and warm.my heart started jumping up and down like a child on a trampoline,I firmly held my chest to make sure no one could hear it,it was so loud in my ears that I was so afraid others might too."No I'm not it is you."He dragged me towards him and held my face straight and looked me dead in eyes ,I tried breaking free but he was just too strong ,this is not my best face I was crying and ugly and I didn't want to him to see me like that.He was a stranger yet I was scared of him seeing me all puffy and teary what is wrong with me?.He must have noticed my eyes because the delight on his face vanished for a second but got back up again "Let's go get coffee."I wanted to refuse because he was a total stranger but he had already grabbed me by the hand and dragged me along.While walking I noticed that he was wearing a blue shirt today with brown trousers his hair tied neatly at the back and only a few strands stood out at the front in all my years I never thought I'd ever think another man was handsome but here I was totally lost in this guy.We walked for the longest time until we reached small vendors at the side of the street it was really crowded ,I should have been wary of being so far from the hospital with a stranger maybe I was being kidnapped,but I was more mesmerized by the scene before me.i haven't been in such a huge crowd in a long time and it felt refreshing,he held my hand firmly and walked us through the crowd .I felt safe.
We finally reached our destination it wasn't that crowded just a few people drinking and he sat me down near the door and went and greeted the man behind the counter as if they've been friends for a long time.He order two coffees and came back,he handed one over to me and smiled.We both sat there for a long time and said nothing to each other ,he stared at me attentively "Wanna spill it out."That's all he said"First of all I don't know you at all you maybe want to kidnap me you're busy acting all familiar with me and are you stalking me or something??"He laughed and was pretty loud"Me??stalking you??!!....and for a person who claims I'm a kidnapper you seem to willing to follow me around you might just be the stalker not me."I wanted to object but he was right I'm the one who bumps into him not the other way around and I was the one who followed him here willingly and didn't object at all.
