Chapter 14
TEARS WERE SPILLING OUT OF MY EYES AND IT WAS clear I had no control over my body right now. I'm shaking like a leaf, my hands trembling as they now rested in my lap. I'm sitting up more now that Edward is sitting next to me, but my head is still hanging low as I attempt to get my breathing under control
"Just breathe, okay? Everything's going to be alright."
'Please be okay' I shook my head
"It's not. Edward I can still hear them" I gasped. still not able to get any air into my lungs. It now feels like i'm trying to breath through a broken straw. I clawed at my chest, willing my lungs to open and take in some air, but nothing worked. Black spots were starting to cloud my vision
Edward caught me as my body almost dropped forward and started panicking himself. He obviously didn't know what was wrong or how to fix it. But i think hearing my short, gasping breaths scared him
"Athena!" he shouted, fear filling his voice. "Athena!" He turned back to me, frantic. "come on, baby, I need you to talk to me"
I reached out with one hand and grabbed his arm, holding on tightly. I whimpered, getting scared that I still wasn't able to take a good breath. His worried eyes fixated on me.
"Stay with me, Athena." he tried to comfort you. "Because you're not crazy. You're not schizophrenic" my breathing stopped entirely, my eyes widening in disbelief
How did he know?
"Breathe Athena!" I let out my breath and Edward's tense shoulders loosened and my breathing was starting to regulate. Who would've thought holding your breath would help
My hands clutched onto Edward's jacket and he moved closer to wrap his arms around me, holding me as my breathing started to return back to normal
-
"I'm so sorry" I whispered once my breathing was back to normal. My episode was over
"Don't be. You just had me worried there" I sat there in silence trying to find the right words to say
"How did you know?"
"One of your thoughts I picked up. So I went home and asked Carlisle who confirmed it"
"And you don't think I'm crazy?"
"I don't think you're anything" he stood up and pulled me up by my hands with him "And i've got some explaining to you"
