I open the big, black door to find my mothers friend, Veronica Armstrong. I don't even know how my abusive mother has friends. She carries a tray filled with what seems to be lasagna. "Hello, Natalie."

"Hello, misses Armstrong."

"Is your mother home?"

"Yes, should I call her down?"

"No, I just wanted to drop off this lasagna I made earlier." She hands me the tray.

"Okay, thank you."

"Tell your mother I say hello."

"I will." I shut the door and walk to the kitchen, setting it down on the counter top.

I grab another garbage bag and walk back towards the door and put the ripped garbage bag in the new garbage bag and tie it up.

I open the door and walk to the end of the driveway and place the bags on the grass.

I walk back inside of our house and shut the door then lock it. I wash my hands in the bathroom and walk to my mothers room. I knock on the door. "What do you want?" She yells.

"Uhm, misses Armstrong dropped off a lasagna, she says hello."

"Okay. Now go away!" She almost screams.

I walk to my room. I put my earphones in and play the song I won't give up by Jason Mraz on my phone.

I open up my laptop and go check what new comments there are of me on Facebook. I start to hum along then that's when it hits me.

I just sit on my bed unable to breath. I'm rocking back and forth, back and forth. My heart starts to beat extremely fast, I'm shaking so much that it's uncontrollable. I feel like I'm having a heart attack. Everything I'm doing, everything that's going on, it doesn't matter to me. All I know is that I'm sitting on my bed, unable to breath.

I feel like I am going to die.

That's when I get up, I call Harry. I tell him to get here as soon as possible. He is the only person I can call. I tell him to get here as quick as possible, I give him my address.

I wait about 10 minutes then he texts me that he's outside. I get up, I grab my house keys and run out the door. I enter his car and it's over.

I can breath, I'm starting to calm down. I'm not shaking as much as before. My heart beat has slowed down.

"Are you okay? I came here as soon as I could. I got lost on the way but I'm here."

"I don't know what happened." I start to cry. "I was sitting on my bed listening to music and reading comments on Facebook, then it just happened. I couldn't breath, I was shaking uncontrollably, my heart was beating extremely fast. I didn't know what to do, so I called you."

"It's okay. I'm here for you. It's okay." He comforts me.
