Sturniolo triplets younger sister

Anxiety attack

( Matt's POV )

Thoughts were consuming me while I was driving as fast as possible. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let her go out by herself.

What if they hurt Cassie, kidnap her, and I never see her again?.... It would all be my fault. I'm such a bad older brother.....

I could feel an anxiety attack coming up. But I could not deal with that right now. I felt my heart beating faster and taking breaths was getting harder by the second. My vision was getting blurry and I started to shake. Shit shit shit not right now.

" Matt you good? " I heard a faint voice saying. I was assuming it was Chris since he was the only one in the Car with me but my ears started to ring. " I- I'm " I tried to speak but my voice wouldn't let me.

( Chris' POV )

Matt was having a panic attack. I could tell he was zoned out and wasn't able to speak. I told him to pull over and he did. " Matt it's okay get in the passenger seat, I'll drive " I said.

I saw that Matt wanted to protest but he couldn't so he got into the passenger seat anyway.

I didn't have my license but we had no other choice and we were almost at the location. Matt had taught me a few driving lessons and said I was way better than nick so that's a good sign I guess.

I started the car and we started driving. Matt was trying to calm himself down but it was hard for him in a situation like this. I put my hand on his leg to try and calm him down.

As we were driving I saw someone running along the side walk. It was Cassie! but there was another person chasing her. I started accelerating the car and I was now driving next to her.

" CASSIE! " I yelled out the car window. " CHRIS " she yelled back. " GET IN NOW " I yelled while slowing down the car so she could get into the backseat.

She opened up the door and jumped into the car, closed the door and we drove off. I looked into the mirror to see that the guy who was chasing her had given up and ran the other way.

Adrenaline was kicking in and no one said anything as I was driving away to somewhere safer.

When I parked the car the realization just flooded over me. I was speechless and didn't know what to say. My mind was racing with thoughts till I heard Matt's breathing.

" shit Matt " I said as I got out of the car and pulled him outside the car as well. I sat him down on the ground and I did too.

" hey hey it's okay we're safe. deep breaths. " I said as I took his hand in mine and put it on his stomach.
" breath through your stomach "

it didn't look like he was getting any better.... " can you hear me? I'm here with you. Follow my breathing Matt " I said as I hold his other hand in mine.

Cassie got out of the car as well and stood next to us with her hand going through Matt's hair while his breath was slowing down. Thank god I thought to myself.

Me and Cassie kept resssuring Matt till he was calmed down and we just sat down on the street for a couple minutes. We were all so exhausted. I didn't even have the energy to ask Cassidy what had happened.

" guys I'm so sorry for getting mad at you, I didn't mean anything I said. I just don't want you guys to leave me because I don't know what to do without y'all. " Cassie spoke.

I turned my head to look at her. " no Cass we should be the ones apologizing. We care so much about you and we should've talked to you first. " I responded.

" I know you guys have to go back to LA, I was being selfish and shouldn't have acted so childish " Cassidy said. " it's okay Cass " I said.

" can we go home? " Matt asked. " yes of course " I replied. We got in the car and drove back home.

Heyy! Sorry for not posting for so long. I didn't really know what to write about. For context nick isn't really mentioned and involved in this part and that's because he was at a friend's house. I hope you guys liked this chapter, it was a bit angsty. I tried to keep it as realistic as possible but I have never experienced an anxiety attack so I don't know what it's like. I will try to keep this story going although it might take a while before a new chapter comes out.
Thank you for reading! And remember to stay safe out there🤍
