Her Innocent Intern

CHAPTER 30:Attack

Maya's POV:

My body shot up, and my eyes immediately went open, when a struck of unbearable pain came straight to my chest. Putting my hand on my chest, with one hand on the bed, holding me for stability. My face scrunching in pain, as I closed my eyes tightly.

Tears started to trickle down to my cheeks, and I find it so hard to breathe. Opening my eyes, I tried to take a deep breath, only to be struck by the unbearable pain, once again. I felt myself getting scared and nervous, I have never felt pain that hurts like this.

I sniffle as I look around, trying to find my inhaler and meds, hoping that it would help me through the pain. Once I found it on top of the table, just beside the bed, I take it, I drink that the medicine that I usually use whenever this scenario happens, it decreases the pain, but my body would shake a little because of the side effect. Then I took a two shots of my inhaler.

After some time, I feel myself feeling a lot more better. Deciding to just rest for a minute, I lay back down, but now, I have a mountain of pillows behind me, so I can still breath properly. God, I should've bring Alex and Judy along with me, why do I have to be so stubborn?

Tears started to brim out of my eyes more, as my lips started to quivered, automatically pouting as it did so. I hate being alone, specially in times like this. It felt so scary, and all you want is to have someone to help you out, and hold you, reassuring you that it will be okay. I don't have my parents with me, neither is my sister.

Getting more emotional every second, I realized that im having a break down. My sniffles is now being followed by a broken sobs, I turned and take a pillow in my hand, hugging it tightly infront of me. Trying to find any comfort out of it, but when I can't find one, more tears started to flow out of my eyes, as my sobs became more louder.

Realizing that i'm having a hard breakdown, I take my phone from the bedside table, opening it, immediately going through my contacts, clicking on my sister's number. Crying as I wait for her to answer, once the line connected, I heard her voice,

"Hi, baby, good morni-" I cut her off.

"M-ma-maria..." I called out in a broken whisper, holding my phone with my shaky hands.

"Hey, hey, what happened? Are you alright, sweetheart? Did something happened? Tell me, baby." I heard her ramble in concern.

"I- I don't know....I- I- I need you...a-and m-mom and dada..." I said, more like pleaded, brokenly, as tears continuesly streaming down my face. "P-please...I- I want to go h-home, I- I want you..."

My phone vibrated, and I saw that Maria is requesting a video call, so I accepted it, I saw her face on the screen with full of worry, eyebrows knitted together, as my face is red, with bloodshot eyes, my lips is pouted as I sob and cry.

"Hey..." She started softly. "Shhh, it will be okay, sweetheart, come on, just breath okay? Is Natasha there? Where are you, honey?" She ask, and shook my head.

"N-no, s-she's not h-here, i-im in my room." I said, as my body shook by the broken sobs i made, my breath is now catching up on my throat.

"Shhh, okay, can you stop crying for me, baby, please? I'm gonna call Natasha, okay? Just wait, but until then, focus on your breathing, please? Can you do that for me sunshine?" She ask soothingly, and I nod, then started catching my breath, while she call Natasha on her other phone, so she's still on the line with me.

Natasha's POV:

I was peacefully eating my breakfast inside my room, while I thought about the amazing past days that had happened. Well, not the call with Maria included, she said that we are gonna have a talk, and that's all she said, she didn't even gave me a chance to explain as she wanted to talk to me in person. It makes somehow, nervous....and scared.

Speaking of the devil, my phone rang, looking at it, I saw that it's none other than my best friend, picking it up then answering it.

"Hey, what's up." I greeted, chewing the last strawberry that is on my plate.

"Natasha, hey, can you do me a favor and go to Maya's room, she's having a breakdown and panic attack right now, please, I really need you to go to her." I heard Maria pleaded, quickly as she said.

I immediately stand up, hanging up, not bothering to drink a water, then quickly running to Maya's room, not bothering to knock, I turned the doorknob, but it's lock, so I knocked rapidly, really worried about my girl.

"Maya, can you open the door, please? It's me, Natasha." I called out softly, and soon enough, the door is opened by a shaking and crying Maya.

Quickly going inside, closing the door behind me by my foot as I take Maya's petite and small body in my arms, securing my arms around her as I soothe her cries.

"Hey, it's okay, darling, what happened? Can you tell me what happened?" I ask, rubbing her back.

I take her head in my hands, and it almost break my heart to see her in this state, red nose, bloodshot eyes, tears stained cheeks, she looks so helpless.

"Hey, what happened?" I ask, once again as I lead her to the bed, sitting on the end of it, I pulled her by my side, but in my surprise, she sat on my lap, quickly going back to hugging me.

"Maya, baby, what happened?" I ask, not even noticing the nickname that slipped out, I rub her back, as I caress her cheeks, looking down at her.

"I- I got a- I- I don't know, w-when I wake up, m-my heart hurts s-so much..." She said looking up at me, I kissed her forehead and pull her back in to me.

"Does it still hurts, hun? Can you tell me, what do you want and need to make it feel better?" I said, and I felt her shook her head.

"I-i already drink my m-meds, and i-it doesn't h-hurt anymore..." She said and I frowned.

"That's good, but why are you crying, sweetheart? What's the matter?" I ask, taking her head in my hand, making her look up at me.

"I-im scared..." She said, looking at me with longing in her eyes, as if she's trying to find someone to stay by her side.

"Can you tell me why, sweetheart?" I ask, caressing her cheeks.

"I- I feel lonely, a-and I- I got s-scared because of m- my h-heart hurts so much e-earlier." She said, putting her hand on her chest.

I felt tears brimmed out of my eyes, so I quickly pull her into me, putting the side of her head on my chest, so she won't see me crying. Why does it hurts me so much seeing her like this?

"Don't worry, hun, i'm here now, okay? I'm gonna stay with you, I promise. Now, what do you want? Did you eat breakfast already?" I ask.

"Want m-my mom and d-dad, M-Maria." She mumbled tiredly.

"Okay, well, it's now our last day here, maybe they can visit you when we go back there, or you can just go home to them more earlier than the others, how about that? Hmm?" I ask, but I was met by silence, frowning as I look down at the girl on my lap, only to see her already sleeping peacefully.

Wiping the tears that came out of my eyes, as I smile looking at her and I can't help but thought about how she looks so adorable. I felt really sorry for her, I wished that I was here so she wouldn't feel lonely.

My poor girl.
