Part 13

-Time skip to lunch

I'm sitting picking at my food when Ryan comes up and sits next to me. " You know I've known you for a week now and I've never seen you eat anything". What are you talking about? Me and you had dinner the other night.." I start to get a little nervous but try not to show it. " Well yes but then you went to the bathroom after. I walked past it and heard you puking". I don't want him to know. I have to eat every so often just so that I don't get sick. I only eat when I start to not feel good but immediately puke it up after. I want to have the perfect body and food prevents that. "Well I-"

" I know Aurora. I've been watching you all week.". He says cutting me off. My stomach drops when he says that. I was so scared that he would tell. " Please dont tell Mattheo. He doesn't need to deal with it. He just got back today." Im panicking at this point. It would just be another thing on Mattheos plate. My heart starts beating really fast and I can't catch my breath. I try to talk but I can't seem to form words. Ryan looks at me worried and takes my hand leading me out of the cafeteria and into a empty classroom. I walk to a wall and slowly sink to the ground using the wall for support. " Calm down Aurora, Just breathe." He quickly pulls out his phone and after a minute he puts it back in his pocket refocusing on me. " Aurora its ok. You just need to breathe." I start to get a little dizzy when Mattheo busts open the door looking around before spotting me and rushing to my side. 

He lifts me up onto his lap and I rest my head on his chest trying to catch my breath." Match my breathing Rora, I'm right here, You're ok." I feel his chest going up and down and try my best to match his. After a minute or so my breathing is back to normal and im starting to feel a little sleepy. I look at Mattheo and see he;s already looking at me. His eyes are filled with so much love when he looks at me. He picks me up and takes my hand. "Ryan, go around to all Auroras classes and get any of the work for today. Tell them she's not feeling well and needs to stay home." Ryan looks at me concerned . I look at Mattheo causing him to look down at me. "Can you give and and Ryan a minute please?" Mattheo looks a little confused and glances at Ryan before looking back at me. " Of course love." He kisses my forehead and walks out.

I turn to Ryan looking guilty. I didn't know if he's keeping this a secret from Mattheo. " I won't tell him anything. But Aurora you need to tell him. He's gonna catch on eventually.". " I will, I just need some time." He nods his head and i walk out.Mattheos standing by the door waiting for me. "What was that about?" I was just telling him something, no big deal.". I grab his hand and start to walk to the door. " I'm sorry that Ryan made you leave class because of me.". He stops dead in his tracts and turns me toward him. He cupped my face in his hands and kisses me on the lips. I close my eyes and kiss him back.

 Finally no one can ruin this kiss. He pulls away and looks at me. " You never have to apologize when your having a panic attack. I want to be the one to help you get through them.". I smile at that and interlock my fingers before continuing to walk to the car. Once in the car he casually puts his hand on my thigh and I pull my phone out of my pocket and go through pinterest. I see a cute picture of a couple playing in the water together and show it to Mattheo. " This would be a fun date". He looks over at me and smiles. " Then let's do it. Tomorrow the weekend and we don't have anything else to do.". I smile at him and look back down at my phone. " So what do you want for your birthday? "I look at him in shock. How did he know about my birthday? " Who told you about my birthday?"." One of the maids at the house mentioned it."

 He shrugs as he says it like its a typical thing for someone to want to do something for my birthday. " Well i didn't really think about it. I wasn't really expecting everything". Well then I guess I'm just gonna have to plan stuff I think you'll like". " You really don't need to do anything, Mattheo , it's ok. I've never really done anything for my birthday". I don't want him to feel like he needs to do this and I want him to know that it's ok not to do anything. " I want to do something for your birthday Aurora'' I smile at the fact that he wants to. "Okay". I don't know what I'll do if he takes me somewhere to eat. He'll definitely notice if I don't eat. I go back to my phone and take a picture of his hand on my thigh.
