OUTSIDE THE THEATRE

_It’s been another day when it feels like faith eludes me,_
_Everything’s been so confusing, fear got the best of me._
_Now I’m lying here worried about tomorrow,_
_‘Cos the weight of everything I don’t know, is so heavy I can’t breathe._
_But the truth remains the same, even when I don’t kow what to say,_
_But what I know…_

“Whose phone is that?” Kennie asked ”I think it’s yours, Victoria”

“Hun, yeah” she picks up her phone, then hisses “6442”

“Can you please play the song for me?” Kennie asked “I really like it”

“Okay” Victoria asked and played the song

_I could throw my fist in the air demanding answers,_
_But in spite of all the questions, I’m still giving you my heart._
_And if it doesn’t turn out how I think it should, it doesn’t change the fact you’re always good_
_Your ways are higher than mine_
_And the truth remains the same, even when I don’t know what to say_
_But what I know, is you my God are real_
_No matter how I feel, you never let me go_
_What I know, is there will never be a day, you aren’t just a breath away_
_So through it all, I’ve got to hold_
_To what I know_

“Time of rebirth” Fatima said “Two-fifty-two”

“No no,” I have to go tell Carson and Emmeline

“So, shall we continue?” Dr. Henry asked

“We know already” Emmeline said, sitted on the floor

“No, you don’t know” he shouted

“Dr. Collins, what is it now?” Nancy asked

“You just guess” he answered

“Collins, you are mad. What is so funny in Nurse Maddy’s death?” Carson asked “Are you a wizard?”

“Abi she woke up ni?” Tessie asked “Like Lazarus?”

“No, not like Lazarus” Collins replied ‘’Lazarus spent four days, some of us here would follow her if she did”

“What are you trying to say?” Kennie asked.

“Tell these people to enter and let us finish up the operation o”

“Ehn?” Victoria said, raising her head.

“We don’t need autopsy, please. Does Dr. enry do autopsies ni?” Carson asked

“Well, her vitals are back, buddy” Collins said

“What?” people asked at diferent times.

“Are you serious?” Nancy asked

“Wait, we were praying without even believing it? Like Peter’s church members” Tessie asked.

“My God!” Nancy said, kneeling on the floor.

“Ehmm” Tessie said “Dr. Carson, Nurse Emmy, Dr. Collins, oya enter, go finish up that surgery and bring out our miracle, please”

“Am I meant to break or dance right now?” Kennie asked

“You can breakdance!” they all replied.

“What are you looking for?” Peter asked

“I was asked to bring the broom, it’s almost time” Paul replied.

“I feel like calling you an idiot, but I won’t” Peter replied.

“You just did” Kennie replied, laughing.

“Ordinary groom, he can’t say correctly” Peter said

“I’m not an ordinary groom o, I’m extraordinary”

“Oh, you mean extra broom?” Pl asked and they all asked

“What happened to you before?” Peter asked

“Two years ago,” Kennie replied “I was thinking about two years ago.”

“I wish I were there” Paul said

“I don’t think you would have witnessed it.” Kennie said, Peter adjusting his tie“You would’ve fainted earlier” 

“Whatever!” Paul said, turning his back to the two

“All set!” Peter said “Now let’s get you married, mister”
