Escaping you
1 week later
I get into Everette's car after school, slamming the door shut and resting my head on his seat, exhausted from school.
"You okay?" He asks and I lean my head on his shoulder
"Yeah, just tired." I close my eyes and he hums before pulling out of the parking lot
"Hey my mom and said said her and my dad have to talk to us about something." I say as he approaches the house
"Alright. What did we do?" He says and I laugh
"no clue."
When we go inside I go up to my room and change, sitting my bag on the floor
"Long day?" Leah asks from beside me on her bed and I snort
"You have no idea. Hey do you know what mom and dad want to talk to me and Ev about?"
"Honestly, yeah." She says and I press for more information
"Look it's not exactly my place to talk about, just, hear them out."
I'm confused.
"Okay."
I work on homework for a couple of hours whenever Everette comes in the room
"Your parents are here." I nod and walk down the stairs and into the kitchen where my mom and dad are sitting leaned up against the marble counters
I begin to speak but my mother cuts me off
"Atlas, we love you, you know that right?" She says and I nod nervously
"Of course I know that, why are you asking?"
"And you know that we Love Zach and Paige, Leah and Everette?"
She ignores my question but I nod and Everette looks just as confused as I am from beside me
"We already discussed this with Paige and Zach and Leah, but we wanted to discuss it with you two last because it affects your the most." My dad says
I nod urging them to go on
"Everette, we know you'ce been staying in Zach's room and that's fine, but Zach's gonna be home more often to help out, and we want Zach to be able to keep his for when he comes home on the weekends and the summer, and we were thinking-" he stops and looks over at my mom who nods
"That you could take Elias's room."
"What?" Everette questions and everything around me blurs.
I'm panicking.
I'm having panic attack.
Okay. You're okay. You've done this a million times.
What can you feel.
Everette's hands on your shoulders.
What can you hear
My mom.
Breathe.
"Shhh my love you're okay." I feel Everette pull my head to his chest and he cups my face in his hands.
It takes me a few minutes, but I am able to pull myself out of the panic attack.
Everyone in the room has their eyes on me and I takes everything in me not to just run upstairs and hide. Hide from all of this, all of the pain.
