Rooftop.

When I was a child I am used of being alone, just being by myself. Silence is my safe zone up until now but this time, I can't endure it. I have to go out from this white room and roam around if I have to. I just dont wanna stay here at all. Its suffocating.

It's been one hour since mom and dad leave me behind inside this room and it's been one hour and twenty-five minutes since I started waiting for Manang and now I'm also hungry and really suffocated. I have to go out.

Unlike last night. My body's know in calm. My lower abdomen still hurts a little but I can endure it. I sighed heavily and loose. I didn't leave any stains on my bed. That's good.

I slowly walked out of my room. I even turn gazes left and right to see if anyone's coming. Nurses and other patients are walking in the middle of the hallway and the smell of strong medicines invaded my nose immediately.

I whined and scratched my nose before finally stepping out and away from my room door. Just like other patients, I'm also wearing a long white scrubs, it's an hospital patient uniform. I think.

When I'm finally inside the elevator, I realized something. I don't know where to go. I don't know where's the hospital canteen and everything. I'm doomed. Stupid Jayson. Should I ask this woman beside me? Or maybe the man wearing a hospital lab gown and reading some papers? What to do?

I looked up and I realized that this elevator's going down from third floor down to second and first floor.

*Ting

And the door opened. Everyone walk out. Including me. I sigh.

"Now what?", I ask myself in a faint-voice. I look around and everyone's busy, doctors, nurses and patient's with their own companions are around. I really hate hospitals. It makes me feel so weak and lifeless. I breathe in for fresh air but the smell of strong meds invaded my nose again. Crappy! Then an idea pop up in my mind.

How I love that yellow bulb in my mind when I'm thinking.

"Rooftop", I said grinning from ear to ear. Finally. I have a place to go. I'm still hungry but that can wait. Surely, manang bought something for me to eat later.

*Ting

That's the sign. I walk as fast as I can to enter the elevator that's going up. Well, I am not alone. I have almost five companions inside.

After a minutes of waiting. Finally. Rooftop. When the elevator's finally open. A silent and haveless hallway welcome me. I blink. It's so creepy.

"Am I in a horror film now?", I ask myself faintly and blemished. I look up to check and confirm something. I'm in the fifth floor of the hospital. I gulp. I'm in the right floor.

I bit my lower lip and gathered all my strengths to walk out of the elevator. To be honest I love horror films but now that I feel like I'm in a horror movie. Oh God. Help me.

I silently walk alone. It's a one way hallway so I had no choice rather than to follow the only way until I reach a door. It's slightly open reason for me to feel the cold and fresh air coming from it.

I breathe in before I slowly push the door widely. It didn't make noise at all.

"Cool", I said and smile as a relief. I'm not in a horror film or movie afterall. Just so I decided to walk out of the door the cold wind hugged me in an instant. It's cold. I hugged myself.

I roam my gazes around the area when someone caught my attention. Someone's standing near the edge. I'm not alone in here. The air suddenly blows heavy reason for the hood of that someone's hoodie fell. His a boy.

I turn silent for a moment and stand still from where I'm standing. Maybe he just wants to breathe in fresh air too or maybe he wanted to be alone that's why his here. Whatever his reasons are, I don't have any rights to mind it. Am I wrong timing? Should I go ba---

"Crappy!! STOP!! DON'T DO THAT!", I unconsciously yelled and my eyes are both looking at his direction widely while in panic.

I didn't even felt both of my feet that run towards him. Oh my God! That makes me breathless. I even bown and gulp.

"D-don't", I manage to say in between gasps. The wind blows again and it's so cold, fresh and strong.

"Who are you?", it's a baritone and serific voice. I gasps before facing the man who planned to kill himself by jumping off this building. His crazy.

His still standing at the nearer edge and one wrong move, he'll fall-down. I look at him worried and panicked. I can't see his face cause his wearing a black face mask. The only thing I can see is his eyes. I bit my lower lip again. What to do?

"W-we can talk, i-if you want to", I suggested with stutter voice as I slowly walk nearer to him. He just looked at me and didn't say anything.

"Tsk!", that's the only thing I overheard. What does that mean?

"Go awa---What the hell?!", words that I clearly heard when I intentionally pull him over without any concent as I get totally near him but something didn't come out great.

As I pulled him, I suddenly step into my own feet while walking backward reason for me to fall suddenly and hard on the floor. I close my eyes to feel the pain from my back. Ouch!. I bit my lower lip harder as I was able to feel the pain from what just happens.

"F*ck! Miss?"

My back hurts big time. Wrong move. I just wanna help.

"Miss"

"A-are you o-ok?", I ask in a low tone of voice while trying to endure the pain from my back as I slowly open my eyes. I kinda startle because of our posture. His on top of me. I saw his face so close and his eyes fix with mine. I blinked. Twice.

"You---you have flesh w-wound", I said in a small tone as I tried to preclude my breath and look at his cut beside his lips. Fresh blood are coming out from it.

"What the f*ck"
