Why Is your blood pressure so high? The nurse asked Jason.
He turned and looked at the wall clock, matching the ticks with the beats from the pressure of his blood running through his veins.
Jason looked back at the nurse and whispered "just work". It was more than work, he was losing himself as time went by. The day had just made him 20 and all he could show for it was a tight face and a broken heart.
3hrs of sleep was beyond pleasure for Jason in the past one year, but who could he have possibly told his feelings to when nobody around was actually a listener.
With a heavy head, lost in his thoughts and broken within, he waited for one call to make his day better.
His phone rang the first time, his heart skipped, he picked it up, it was mom, happy birthday she said, it was sweet and bitter because it came from her but wasn't what Jason wanted at the moment.
Two more times the phone rang and none could fill his heart desire. Struggling to find reasons to stay happy on such a wonderful day, fighting to not break down, he watched every minute go by till the zero hour, came the sun and the rain, but the one call that would have made it alright, it never came.
