Howdy! Just a quick warning,, this short story contains a character having a panic attack. If you're not comfortable with sort of content, I advise you not read. Thank you.

The bass makes the walls shake, I hate when it does that. The barley audible music is loud and unpleasant, it's giving me a headache. Why won't it stop. I want it to stop. I want it to be quiet. I want to go home. I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to be here anymore.

The door opened. Why did the door open. Are they coming to find me? They came to find me. I need to hide. Where would I hide in a fucking library. It's just shelves. I didn't think they'd come to find me. Why are they here? I know why they're here. That's stupid.

The music is even louder now, I hate the noise, it's giving me a headache. Why am I here. The walls are starting to shake. This room is too crowded. The walls are shaking. I hate it when it does that.

Footsteps. They found me. They know I'm here. You're fine. No I'm not. This room is too small. The walls are shaking. It's too loud. I have a headache.

My vision is blurry. Am I crying? I can't see. Why can't I see. The walls are shaking. It's too loud. I don't want to be here anymore. I have a headache. My lungs hurt.

I can't breathe. Why. The air feels heavy. Why can't I breathe. The noise. The walls are shaking. This room is too small, it's shrinking. It's too loud. I don't want to be here anymore. Why can't I breathe. I need to block out the noise

I can't breathe. It's too loud. Why can't it be quiet. I want it to be quiet! I have a headache. The walls are shaking. I can't breathe. Room is crowded. The shelves are falling. I can't see. Why can't I see. I'm scared. I want to go home. Why can't I stop crying. I'm covering my ears.

"Cam?"

The music is too loud. I need to breathe. I can't breathe. I can't see who said that. Who said that. I can't talk. I can't breathe.

"Cam?"

Who said that. My lungs hurt. I can't breathe. I'm scared. I can't see. The walls are shaking. I'm shaking.

"Cam oh my God."

The music is too loud. They're waking closer. Don't touch me. Get away from me. I need to go. I don't want to be here anymore. Get away from me.

It's warm.

"Cam,, Cameron,, it's going to be okay,, okay?"

I can't breathe. My lungs hurt. It feels like I'm choking. My heart is pounding.

I'm warm.

I feel warm. I can't stop crying. I can't talk. Don't leave. I can't stop crying. Please don't leave.

You're warm. Don't go. The music is loud. I can't breathe.

He covers my ears. I can feel him against my forehead.

"You're okay,, try to breathe for me."

My eyes sting. He's warm. His heart is steady. I can feel his chest rise. His hand is on my back. I can't stop crying. But I'm okay.

I can't hear the music anymore.
