Don't let them see.

Scarletts pov 1/2

I was actually excited when Hadlee agreed to go to the lounge with everyone. I know it's her first day, and that can always be very scary.
Earlier when we were at the table read. Hadlee seamed very anxious, but I did notice that when we were sitting at that table she was zoned out. So to get her attention I touched her shoulder. I definitely did not expect her to flinch. When she looked at me I could definitely see fear in her eyes.... I don't know what's going on but I am definitely doing to find out. She just stayed quiet.
On our way to the lounge, Hadlee seemed quite nervous. As we were walking I was keeping an eye on her. When we reached the hallway I turned around to check on her only to see Hadlee standing there frozen and she was having a panic attack. I know how to help during a panic attack because I sometimes help Lizzie with hers.

"Hadlee, hun are you okay?" I asked her. She only seemed to panic more.
"Hadlee, look at me. You have to breathe. It's ok." I said in a gentle tone. She looked at me scared.
"I... c- can't... b-breathe." She cried out while she was hyperventilating.
"Hey, hey, hey, look at me. Follow my breathing. In....out.... In... Out..."after a couple tries she eventually calmed down "Good job sweetie. Do you want to talk about it?" I asked
"Th-thank you and n- no I can't talk about it." She replied. "I can't talk about it" What does that mean? Is she in danger? What is going on? I wasn't going to push her. So I just wanted to comfort her. I put my hand on her shoulder to let her know I was there.
When I put my hand on her shoulder she flinched back and pushed herself further into the wall. Oh no I thought.
"Oh, it's ok, I didn't mean to startle you. Do you need me to get you anything." I asked her softly.
By the looks of it, it looked like she was going to have another panic attack. She looked at me and hesitated but eventually she desperately said
"The-the R-usso's." The Russo's? Why would she need the russo's?
"Anthony and Joe?" I asked to be sure. She nodded.
And I quickly ran the their office the get them. When I got to their office I didn't even knock I just went in. Their heads shot up and looked at me worried. Anthony was the first to speak up.
"Scarlett, what's going on?"
"It's Hadlee. She had a panic attack and I got her calmed down but, she is having another one. This one's worse. She told me she needs you guys." I replied fast.
"Shit." Joe said as they both stood up. I told them to follow me. And we ran to the hallway. When he got there. Hadlee looked like she could pass out at any moment. I just stood back and let Joe and Anthony help her.

"Hadlee... Hadlee!..kiddo I need you to hear me. I'm going to touch your shoulder. Okay?" I heard Joe say.
As he put his hands on her shoulder she flinched and put her hands over her head, crying harder. Joe automatically moved his hand.
At this point the rest of the cast were out in the hallway also looking worried for Hadlee.
"no, no, no. Please don't... I didn't mean to." She cried. I honestly felt like crying I don't know what happened to her but I want to hurt whoever did this to her.

The Russo's looked at each other.
"This is not gonna be good for her if this escalates." Joe whispered the Anthony. Anthony nods.
"Hadlee! Kiddo, look at me. It's Anthony and Joe. It's okay you're safe. No one can hurt you here. You're not there anymore." Anthony said with his hands now on her shoulders. She finally looked up at him.
"I-I'm sorry." She cried. It broke my heart. Anthony pulled me into a hug.
"You never have to be sorry for something like that. It's okay to break down. Just breathe Hadlee." He told her.
They sat there for a bit with Hadlee while she calmed down.

"Why don't we go get some water and relax for a bit?" Anthony asked. Hadlee agreed. When she stood up with the help of Anthony and Joe she saw all of us there and froze. Joe was quick to respond.
"Everything is fine here. Please either go to your trailers or go back to work." Joe said. Everyone was worried and probably honestly confused about what just happened (so was I). As I was about to leave Joe stoped me.
"Scarlett, could you come with us if you want? I can see she is already starting to trust you, and that's big for her." He quietly said me.
"Yes, of course!" I relied, as I was already really quite worried about her.
