Riley's PROV

I stare at the emptiness of studio A as I pack up for the day. I walk over to my cubby and grab my everyday clothes, ready to get changed before heading home. I think it is really sweet that even though I am not on A troupe anymore nor even a dancer here at Tns. Miss Kate still wanted me to have my own cubby because even though i may be studio head I still try and practice as much as I can.

I sit on the bench right by my cubby to put my shoes in my bag. As doing so a wave of anxiety flows over me. The wave crashes right on me. The wave leaves behind trails of water that run over my body.

Please stop.

I'm begging you. Stop.

My mind of thought changes from being calm as sand to suddenly panicked as a tsunami. I start to think about all the drama that is going on that I somehow become a part of. I reminisce on all the paper work I have to do. My breathing hitch's. Stress. Anxiety. Panic. Course through my blood filled veins.

Not here.

Riley, please.

I'm sorry.

Tears begin to cloud my already blurred vision. I feel my airways getting smaller and smaller. I'm going to die. Salt water cascades down my face. I need him. I turn my head to the floor. I hear two sets of footsteps walk through the door. "Riley, are you ok?" I hear a familiar voice speak. I want to say something but i can't. My eyes look up and see my best friend with my sister.

Emily's PROV

I walk into studio A with Michelle, after going to Java Junction. As we walk down the corridor I begin to see a familiar person by the cubbies. "Mich, why is Riley sat by the cubbies?" I ask concerned. "I don't know em, should we see if she is ok?" Michelle suggests. "Yeah I would."

As we walk through the door. I hear a cry fall from Ri's mouth. She is gasping for air quicker than ever. I instantly know what's wrong. "Riley, are you ok?" Michelle asks. However she gets no reply. Riley looks up lightly. Her cheeks are puffy and red. Tears are flowing down them like a waterfall. "Oh sis," I whisper. I quickly sit down next to her and wrap her in my arms. She leans against my chest. Michelle kneels down and holds her right hand. I rub her back soothingly. "Calm Riley, it's ok" I soothe. I kiss her hair, showing her my love.

Despite Michelle and I trying to comfort her. I know who she really needs. James. James is the bestest person to calm ri down when she is in this state. He is the only one who can relax her. Comfort her how she needs. He has the power to soothe her. "Michelle run and get James, Riley clearly needs him". I command gently. She doesn't say anything but nods. She runs to Lost and Found to get him. "It's ok Ri, Jay is coming," I whisper in her hair. I continue to sit with my sister until Michelle comes back.

James' PROV

The band and I are chilling after our rehearsal, just writing songs. I sit on the sofa in our music room next to Luke. Suddenly Michelle bursts through the door. We all look at her confused. "James, Riley needs you!" As soon as I hear the word "needs" I instantly sit up from my original slouched position. "What?" I ask worried. "Well where is she?" determined to get to my baby girl as soon as I can. "She's in Studio A" she tells me calmly before walking over to John. To kiss him no doubt. "Ok thanks mich."

I quickly sprint my way out of Lost and Found and hurry to Riley. I quickly made it to Tns. The posters on the wall are blurred as I sprint to studio a. "Riley?" I call out as I get closer. When I get no reply I get more determined to get to her. "RILEY!" I yell at the top of my lungs. I hear a faint "she's in here," I sigh quickly recognising it to be Emily's voice. Good she has her sister.

I enter the studio and my eyes quickly focus on my girl wrapped up in her sisters arms. Crying her eyes out and shaking like mad. I instantly know what that means. My poor baby is having a panic attack. "Oh sweetheart," I sigh. Emily looks up at me with a sympathetic look. Emily leaves ri's side after informing her that I will be there soon. Emily approaches me. "James please help her as best as you can." She requests timidly. Not like the normal Emily. I can tell her she is nervous for her sister. I give her a quick hug. "Don't worry em, I will. I promise" I reply.

She smiles at me than leaves to probably find Michelle. I make my over to my shaking girl and lift her up in my arms. She clings on to me as if I am the only sours of gravity she has. No doubt she probably feels really dizzy. She rests her head into my chest. Salt water stains my shirt. I kiss the top of her head. I sit on a bench right outside her office windows. I place her down on my lap but keeping her in my embrace and close to my chest as possible. I take her hair out of her face.

I wipe a tear that flows down her rosé cheek using my thumb. "Shhh baby, it's ok daddy's here,". She wraps her arms tighter around me. I rock her back and forth to get her into a tranquil state. With my left hand, I run my hand down her right cheek to her chin. So I can bring her face up to mine. I put my forehead on mine, I close my eyes as I begin to speak. "Breathe baby girl, don't think about anything els. Just focus on me,". Her breathing settles very very slightly. However I can still tell she is still struggling.

I give tickles to her back. Her warm skin runs over my fingertips. "Concentrate on my breathing, copy daddy's breathing baby" I instruct her. She slowly begins ti control her breathing. "There's a good girl," i whisper. Her shaking stops. Her breathing begins to get steady before it has fully matched mine. The tears still run down her cheeks. "J-Jay" she stutters. "Hush baby girl. I'm here"

After 10 minutes of getting her tears to stop. She lets out a sigh of relief. It is a shaky sigh. She hugs me tight and rests her head in the crock on my neck. "Oh Jay, I'm sorry,". What? Why is she apologising? "Why are you sorry babe?" "Well because of this" "Baby," i sigh. "You don't have to be sorry there isn't anything for you to be sorry about, these things just happen, you have absolutely no reason to be sorry. Ok, promise me?".

She nods simply. "Ok daddy, I promise?" I smile at the name. "That's my good little girl". She removes her head from my neck. "I am not a little girl, I'm a big girl" she pouts like a 4 year old. I can't help but chuckle. "Yes, but your my girl, so your daddy's little girl" I argue. She sighs giving in defeat. "Ok fine, I'm your little girl". I smile at her cuteness. I lean in and capture her lips delicately. I kiss her passionately and full of love. We release each others lips when we both needed our breaths back. "I love you baby girl." I say contently as I place my forehead on hers and looking lovingly into her eyes. "I love you too daddy". I place my lips back in hers. "Always and forever." We both mumble in each other's lips at the same time.

Hope you like it. I will try and post more but can't promise anything.
Bye lovely people
