Beautifully Imperfect {ON HOLD}

Chapter Two: "Can you hear me?"

 You felt stupid for running out of her office, there she was being nice to you and you ran. You didn't know where you were running to exactly. You took turn after turn, finding yourself in a different part of the large castle. Doors lined the dimly lit hallway and you came to a stop opening one of the doors and closing it behind you. You had left Orion outside the door, while you found a corner of the room and sank to the floor, your breathing continuing in its already fast pace. You felt yourself starting to hyperventilate, going into a full panic attack. You drew your knees to your chest and tears started to fall.

Orion, though hesitant to do so, left to find somebody that could possibly help you. He continued to walk to different hallways before spotting the red haired dean walking his way. Increasing his pace he made his way to her before sitting in front of her. To say the dean was confused would be an understatement. She was more worried at the fact that you were not with him. Bending down to pet the dog, Lady Lesso asked a question, which she didn't expect to get an answer to considering that she couldn't understand animals. "Do you know where Y/N is?" The dog simply started walking back the way it came, leading the Dean towards the room you were in.

Once in the corridor Orion stopped in front of one of the doors, sitting down. Hoping that she would understand, which she did. Lady Lesso quietly opened the door letting your dog into the room as well as herself before shutting it just as softly as she had opened it. As she surveyed the room, her attention was brought to you who was in the back of the class, knees to your chest, crying. She carefully made her way over to you, taking off her coat and setting it on a desk, before sitting in front of you. "Y/N, can you hear me?" she asked gently, her voice soft. You nodded your head, not feeling like you would be able to speak. The pace of your breathing is what worries her most. If it didn't slow soon, you would risk passing out. She gently tried taking your hands from your knees, not expecting them to go right to your face, as if you were trying to protect yourself. "Hey, it's okay, it's okay, Y/N. I need you to breathe for me alright?" She said taking your hands from your face. Your response was short and quiet. "I can't, it hurts." "I know love, but I need you to do this for me okay?" she asked hoping that you would be able to try and slow your breathing. You nod your head as Lesso brings her hand to your chin tilting your head to look at her. "Follow my breathing okay?" She says slowly, taking a deep breath in and letting it out slowly. Trying to follow her instructions, you found it increasingly difficult to adjust your breathing, making your panic feeling worse. "I can't." "Yes you can love, I know you can." she said encouraging you to continue to try.

As you continued to attempt to steady your breath, you felt Lesso move behind you. Her chest now pressed against your back, making you tense. "It's alright love, it's just me, okay?" Hearing that it was the redhead made you relax slightly. "Alright now, look around the room for me. Can you point out five things you can see?" "A bookshelf, desks, the chalkboard, Orion, and the door." You answer, your breathing slowing a bit. "Good now tell me four things you can feel." The floor, my dress, my dog and you." The last thing being the quietest out of the four.

Finishing through the last three of the steps, your breathing had steadied significantly. "Great job love, I'm so proud of you." You heard Lesso say, making you smile a bit. You could feel yourself coming down from the rush, slowly getting increasingly tired. "It's alright darling you can rest a bit, we have some time till the ceremony." She said, concluding that the episode took quite a bit out of you. Orion came to lay by you and Lady Lesso resting his head on the Dean's leg. Lesso was not one to smile often, but seeing the way Orion was so protective of you made her glad you had someone by your side.

You let yourself relax into the redhead who had now moved so that her back was against the wall of the classroom. Letting your head fall to her chest, she sat with her arms around you as if protecting you. Little did you know that the stone cold Dean who you had met hours ago now had a soft spot for you. Not that she would admit to anyone, but only to herself.
