Save me Mick

Part 16

TW: eating disorder mentions, panic attack, self harm mentions, etc.

Time skip to the meet between Lourdes and Drea as well as Danni.

Danni POV

I looked at Lourdes and Drea. "Okay so where do you want me to start Drea? I'll answer your questions" she nodded "the sleeves." She spoke taking a sip of her latte. I sighed wondering what I should say. "Do you have any suspicions or are you just clueless?" "Are you harming yourself?" She asked as I took a sip of my coffee. "Was. 2 days clean today" I looked down at the table not feeling like looking at either of my friends. "I'm so proud of you!" Lourdes placed her hand on mine making me look up at her to see her smiling. "Alright anyways next question?" "Can I ask more about the self harm or would that upset you?" "You can ask more I don't mind" "When did you start?" "A long time ago, I don't know how long ago to be honest." She nodded and Lourdes spoke up, "hey Danni? I have a question for you, it's actually one of Drea's questions as well mind if I ask it now?" I shook my head and so did Drea. "Drea says you get dizzy at work and stuff, are you eating?" I let out the quietest answer possible "no. I'm supposed to eat something when I go home from this. Drink a smoothie or something" "Oh." Both the women said. "Drea? Please don't say anything to the captain. I'm handling myself just fine." Drea smiled reassuringly "Don't worry Danni I won't, not without your permission. I just want to be clear so I don't tell someone who doesn't already know, who knows?" "Saanvi, Lourdes, Michaela, and now you" I responded. "I'm so glad I didn't message Jared last night too" "us too" Lourdes responded to Drea seeing as I didn't. My hands started shaking a little at the thought of having to eat something. I couldn't. I shouldn't. Lourdes noticed and came over to my side of the booth. "Danni? Are you okay?" I nodded and tried my best to hide my hands shaking. "I should head home, Drea if you have other questions you can just text me, same for you Lourdes." I spoke tossing my cup and leaving the shop after saying my goodbyes to the women. I felt my breathing become irregular as sobs racked my body while I sat in some random parking lot attempting to calm down. It felt like I couldn't breathe, a pressure on my chest made it feel like that. My hands were shaking as tears slid down my face. I knew I was having a panic attack. I sent a text to Michaela that read a very simple message, "call me please" she called a second later. As soon as she saw my face since we FaceTimed and immediately knew what was happening. "Danni Danni breathe I need you to breathe. In, 1234 out 1234." She kept repeating as I tried to do what she said. Soon the panic attack had ended and I was driving home, Michaela still on the phone with me. "How was the meet with Drea and Lourdes?" "Fine. They asked questions, I answered" "alright, so Lou knows now?" "Mhm" I walked in to my house, "I'm heading over to your house if that's alright?" I nodded and we hung up.
