I gazed out of the window while lying in my bed, the weight on my chest feeling as if it were a ton, making it difficult to draw a full breath. The blanket was wrapped tightly around me, cocooning me as the tree branches outside swayed and tapped gently against the glass, a soft rhythm that matched my troubled heartbeat. My vision blurred, and my eyes stung with unshed tears. A persistent ringing filled my ears, almost drowning out the soft knock at the door,

Someone spoke but I couldn't hear them as my heartbeat pounded in my ears.

I tried to open my mouth to respond, but no words came out, only a desperate gasp for air. I blinked slowly, struggling to breathe, my lungs refusing to fill as panic clawed at my throat. Today marked the day of the lawsuit, and the thought of hearing that man's voice or revisiting the ordeal sent waves of dread crashing over me, leaving me feeling utterly unprepared.

The door swung open, and I heard muffled footsteps before a hand pulled the blanket away from my face. Narcissa said something, but I couldn't understand her as everything seemed to be spinning. I tried to read her lips, but it was no use. She tapped my cheek and called for someone, then removed the blanket entirely and shook me, speaking words that were lost on me. I saw Lucius and Mattheo standing before me, and as I looked at the wall, Mattheo spoke to Lucius. Someone lifted my arms and propped me up slightly against the wall. Small pads were placed on my stomach, and I felt fur brush against my chin. It was Midnight, snuggling into my neck. Narcissa snapped her fingers to try to get me to respond, but my mind was too foggy to form any words.

Someone walked into the room as Draco tapped my face with a cold washcloth. They pushed me up and sat behind me wrapping their arms around my chest placing pressure. I smelled my favorite cologne. A small kiss on my temple as sounds flooded my ears.The sound of people talking softly and walking slowly around. A voice spoke in my ear,"Breathe fire. Your okay,"

I leaned closer to Lorenzo as he tightened his grip around my shoulders. I took a deep breathe feeling the air reach the bottom of my lungs. Narcissa looked at me worried,""What happened? You were blue when I came in,"

"I couldn't breathe," I mumbled softly

"Y/ns anxiety has been like this for a bit now. When it involves Christopher Nott. She would have anxiety attacks before every visit. Pressure helps," explained Lorenzo for me as he still held me tightly. His chin rested on my shoulder

"I knew to call Lorenzo because every time someone else would try it wouldn't work," explained Mattheo

I turned into Lorenzo as he held me tightly, "Everything's going to be okay today. We have so much evidence against Armstrong that he will end up in prison. Same with everyone else," said Lucius tapping my leg.

"We have two hours to get ready. Take your time and make sure to breathe," said Narcissa looking a bit relieved as she gave me water and my anxiety medication. I nodded as she kissed my forehead. Lucius motioned Mattheo out as Narcissa followed.

I sat up leaning forward grabbing my ankles. Lorenzo rubbed my back,"Wanna take a bath?" he asked me.

I looked at him and nodded,"Join me?"

He smiled and nodded getting out of bed and helping me up. We walked into the bathroom, and he placed me onto the counter rubbing my thighs before kissing me gently. He started the bath letting it run. I looked through my medicine cabinet and grabbed my birth control pills and vitamins.

"Lavander or Jasmine?" he asked me holding to bottles up for the bubbles

"Lavander," I mumbled as he turned off the water
