nathan doe one shots

10) panic attack

i woke up this morning and i had a lot of work to do. my job had me doing all these work calls and other random stuff on my computer. but before i did all that, i took a nice shower.

after my shower, i walked out and saw nate on the couch.

"i made eggs for you." he says.

"ooh thank you." i say, walking over into the kitchen.

"do you wanna go to the store with my later?" he asks.

"i can't, i have a lot of work stuff to do today. i'm sorry."

"that's okay, i'll just go by myself, anything specific you want?"

"can you get french bread so i can make garlic bread sometime?"

"sure. i'll leave in like an hour. text me anything else you want."

i ate my eggs and chilled next to nate on the couch.

until my phone rang, and the busy work day begins.

i went into my home office and started doing whatever. i hear nate leave our apartment.

i talk and talk.

i get off a phone call, and look at my computer.

my boss emailed me a list of emails i have to write, and changes i have to make to our website.

i sigh, and start writing an email.

as im not even done with the first email, my boss sends me more things to do.

i start to feel faint. my breathing gets heavier.

my breath is shaking and my phone dings.

nate
is this the right bread?
*attachment*

y/n
can you come home?

i ask him to come home and i get up to go unlock our door.

i walk over to the front door and unlock it, as i do that my phone starts ringing. i check and its a work number.

the tears start coming. i fall to the floor against the wall.

my phone is blowing up with a bunch of calls. but i ignore them all, thinking it's from work. turns out it was nate, but i didn't know that.

my body was weak, i tried to pick up the phone from the floor, but physically could not.

my mascara is dripping down my face, and my shirt is wet from tears.

"h- hey s-s... siri. call n-n-n-nate." i say, my voice shaking. siri couldn't understand me so she didn't end up calling him.

i try to the finger method.

the door opens and nate comes in quickly.

he doesn't have anything on him. no groceries. no anything.

"hey, hey, hey, hey-" he says squatting down next to me.

i grab his hand and squeeze it. my breath is hitching.

"hey hey, let's count to 15." he says, squeezing my hand as well.

i slowly and very very slowly count to 15.

"again."

we count again, but i started breathing real heavy again.

"hey, come on." he says, lifting me up and walking me over to the couch.

he sits me down on the couch and sits beside me.

"deep, slow breaths" he says, rubbing my back in circles.

my breath shakes as i try to slowly stable it.

"your okay, your okay. i'm right here." he reassures, placing my hand in his chest and squeezing it there.

i start to cry and sob again.

"1... 2... 3..." i squeeze my eyes shut.

nate squeezes my shoulder.

i feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and my body relaxes. i open my eyes and take deep breaths.

my bite lip and wipe my tears.

"i'm sorry-" i mumble out.

he brings me in for a hug, and rubs my back.

"don't apologize baby, you did great. but what happened?"

"work is stressing me out. i have a million emails to write. and on top of that i have to edit the website."

"let me help you."

"no, no. did you get the groceries?"

"i left the cart and ran to the car to get here."

a smile forms on my lips. i hug him once more.

"come on, i'll just do a walmart delivery and i'll help with your work." he says.

i smile again and nod.

A/N: okay this wasn't that long but next will be long i swear!!!
