I felt the walls closing in on me and my chest was tightening making it hard to breathe. My vision was going fuzzy and dark on the edges because I couldn't breathe. I was having a panic attack, I hadn't had one in a while, and when I did my boyfriend was always there to help me. 

I was overwhelmed by schoolwork for the academy while trying to keep up with my internship with Dr.Gaul. I had barely been sleeping or eating and it was catching up to me as evidenced by the dark circles under my eyes. 

I know I need to breathe but it's so hard. It feels like a weight is on my chest making it impossible for me to get air into my lungs. I curl myself into a ball making myself as small as possible like I want to disappear. I'm hyperventilating as tears fall down my face, my hands are shaking, and my head feels heavy. 

I don't hear the door open or realize that anyone has entered the apartment until I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around me and inhale the familiar scent of roses. I faintly hear Corio saying something but I can't make out what he's saying. 

He moves so instead of holding me he's just holding my hands tightly in his. He places my hand over his heart. He looks into my eyes and I stare into his icy-blue ones. I feel the panic starting to dissipate but I'm still finding it hard to breathe. 

I finally can make out what he's saying and I hear him say, "Breathe with me. In, and out." 

I do as he says and I feel my chest relaxing making it easier to get air in. Once I've calmed down, Corio shifts so that he's holding me again and is sitting on the floor. He rocks me back and forth as he whispers comforting words to me. 

After he's sure that I'm okay he softly asks with concern lacing his voice, "Now, what caused this?' 

I know it's no use lying to him because I say, "I just got so overwhelmed by everything. School, the internship." 

I hear Corio hum in response before he says, "Well, and you haven't really been sleeping or eating much either." 

I groan in my head, of course, he noticed that. He stands up from the floor before helping me to stand on shaky legs. Everything hits me like a ton of bricks and I realize how tired I am. 

Corio leads me to our shared room and under his careful gaze I get changed into one of Corio's shirts and a pair of loose sweatpants before climbing under the covers. Once he's satisfied he climbs in next to me. 

He doesn't lie down he sits with his back propped up against the headboard. I shift over so I can rest my head in his lap. Instantly his hand is playing with my hair, a favorite pastime of his. He massages my scalp and I feel myself starting to relax as my eyes slowly start to drift closed. 

Before I completely succumb to sleep I hear him say, "I gave us the day off tomorrow." 

I feel a smile grace my lips at what Corio would do for me. The last thing I'm aware of before I fall asleep is a pair of soft lips on the top of my head.
