Sebastian's p.o.v.

I sat down across from them as they started up a conversation. I looked at my hands and popped my knuckles.

" You know that's bad for you, right? " A voice spoke up.

I looked up to see Eryn with her eyebrows raised at me. I gulped.

" U-Um yeah, u-uh it's a habit sorry. " I stuttered through the whole sentence.

" Dude chill I was just saying that it is. If you keep doing that your gonna have arthritis. " She spoke up with an annoyed look.

I looked back at my hands and felt my cheeks heat up. Bradley looked at her and patted her shoulder.

" Eryn, chill. You do it all of the time. Don't be a hypocrite. " He spoke up.

" U-um it's fine. " I spoke up while stuttering again.

She gave me another annoyed look and raised her eyebrows again.

" Dude what's wrong with you? " She asked.

" Anxiety. "

Was all I could say before my breath started to pick up. Bradley stood up and ran to the soda machine and I guess he got water or something. He ran back and handed it to me. I took a sip and my breathing slowly went back to normal. I stood up and was about to walk away when a hand grabbed my wrist I looked down to see Eryn looking up at me.

" I am so so sorry. I've had a bad day and I've took it out on you. I'm so sorry - "

" Sebastian. " I quietly said.

" I'm so sorry Sebastian. " She apologized again.

" It's fine, really it happens all of the time. I just get anxious around new people and I didn't have my medicine today and I didn't bring my inhaler. " I said in one breath.

She nodded her head and let go of my wrist. I walked outside and started walking home.
