Panic

Okay so there will be a few trigger warnings this chapter but not to many.

Tws: panic attack, hinting towards physical abuse, verbal abuse and negative thoughts.

It shouldn't be to heavy but please don't push yourselves.

Maya headed straight to her office once the call had ended.

She took a deep breath before walking to her bunk, that was in the room attached to her office, and sitting on it shakily.

Her body trembled as her vision blurred and images of her father flashed through her mind.

Flashback

"What the HELL, were you doing out there." Maya's dad screamed at her.

"But I came first?" She asked not sure why he was so mad.

"You were ten seconds slower than the last race, you're training NOW!" He snarled back.

"Y..yes dad," she nervously stuttered.

He turned to her as if he was about to blow up before storming toward their car muttering about how ungrateful she was.

She followed behind, her head low and eyes teary.

..............................................................

"Get up!" Her father yelled as he threw a large bucket of ice water over her.

Maya gasped before scrambling up and towards her bathroom to get ready.

"You need to get up earlier you brat," he growled "that's an extra 20 laps!"

Maya got ready before walking to the track she would soon meet her father at, even though it was pouring it down.

.............................................................

Maya's father crept closer as she cowered on the corner of her bed.

"How dare you eat that candy!" He spat.

"I'm sorry dad." She slightly whimpered.

"You should be!" He hissed before stepping closer causing her to flinch a little.

He began to edge forward before raising his hand.

Present scene
Third person

Maya put her head in her hands as her breathing quickened and heart began to pound faster.

She whispered different breathing methods trying to calm herself down before she spiralled even more.

Suddenly she heard her office door open, causing her to hold her breath whilst waiting to see who was there.

Her whole body was shaking as a tall figure made their way to her bunk.

"Hey Maya, it's okay just breathe." A soft voice said, an accent detectable.

'Carina'

"Bella please take a breath." Carina pleaded.

"I..I ca..can't br...breathe." The blonde choked out.

"You're okay, bambina," she coed whilst softly stroking Maya's arm, "Follow my breathing."

The blonde kept her eyes forward as the brunette brought her hand to Maya's and gently placed it on her heart.

"Bambina, I need you to follow my breathing or you'll be sick." She instructed.

"Hey look at me!" The brunette ordered as she saw the blondes eyes darting around the room.

"Your eyes only need to be on me." She added whilst gently guiding the blondes face to look at hers.

Maya slowly raised her gaze and let a shaky breathe while trying to follow the Italian's.

Soon enough her breathing had regulated and her trembling hands began to still.

Tears still streamed down her face as she pulled the brunette into a hug.

"I'm sorry." Maya whispered.

"Hey... Hey look at me bella," she spoke softly,"You don't need to be sorry."

Maya nodded into Carina's shoulder, and felt a strange feeling of comfort.
