Camila POV

As we got at the praxis, Liliana was already there, but Addison wasn't. We were there a little bit earlier than yesterday, but I hoped Addison was going to be there soon because I needed to tell her SO much stuff.

,,Good morning, Doctor Mendes.! And Doctor Cabello...." Liliana greeted Shawn with a huge smile on, but as she greeted me she only gave me one of that bitch looks.

,,Morning! Liliana...." I imitated her and that made Shawn chuckle lightly. Liliana only rolled her eyes and as Shawn finally succeeded to open the praxis, everyone walked in their office or in Liliana's case at their desk.

I just let my stuff in my office and then walked in Addison's to wait for her. I sat in her chair and waited for her like a boss, but I started to get bored as I saw she wasn't coming. I looked at the clock and saw that there were only five minutes until the praxis opens and people will start to come in.

Just as I decided to go to Shawn and ask him if Addison was coming today, the door opened and Addison entered the office.

,,Finally! I already thought you died on the way here. Guess what!" I said excited, but she didn't seem excited or motivated at all.

,,Mila, can we talk some other time? I'm really not in the mood." She said and sat on the chair I sat a few minutes ago.

,,But it's important..." I said, she took a deep breath and then gave me an annoyed look. ,,Fine. Then I won't tell you, but then don't come to me and complain about me not telling you stuff." I said and walked a little bit angry out of her office.

What was wrong with her!? I didn't see her yesterday the whole day and now she's behaving like this. It's like she tries to avoid me. What did I do wrong?

I walked in my office and sat on my chair while I was trying to understand what just happened. At some point, I couldn't handle what was going through my head and started panicking. My head was a mess again and I tried to take deep breaths, but I felt like I was losing control over my body.

I hid my face in my hands and tried to concentrate on one thing, but I couldn't. There was too much stuff going on in my head and I couldn't concentrate on any of them. I felt my hands shaking and felt like I couldn't breathe.

,,Mila, did you treat Miss Quarter yesterday?" I heard a voice that sounded like Shawn's, but I couldn't place it. I thought it was just one of the million thoughts that were messing with my head.

,,Mila? Mila, are you okay? Hey...Look at me." This time I could hear his voice better and felt someone placing their hands over mine.

,,I....can't....b-breathe." I managed to say.

,,Concentrate on me, okay? You're okay. You're with me. Now breathe with me." I heard him say and started to concentrate only on his voice. ,,Breath with a me, okay? 1...." He said and we took a deep breath together.

,,2..." He said, we took another deep breath and I started to concentrate only on his voice.

,,3..." He said, we took another breath and my thoughts started to fade away.

,,4..." We took another deep breath and I looked up from my hands to look him in the eyes.

,,5..." He said and we took the last deep breath. ,,You okay?" He asked and I only managed to nod. ,,What happened?"

,,I-I don't really know..." I said overwhelmed by what just happened and he pulled me in for a hug.

,,You're okay now." He said and stroke my back lightly. ,,Should I bring you a glass of water?"
