Maxon and I are laying in the grass. Never in a million years did I think I'd end up with Maxon, Prince of Illea. If anything I thought I'd be back in my tiny home with my mom, May, and Aspen, but at the same time I finally feel like I belong. Curled up next to him in the grass, watching the stars, I feel like I have a purpose. I'm important. Aaaaaaand that's when the panic attack set in. You know the kind of panic attack that is basically inhabilitating and then afterwards you just want to collapse and sleep? That one.
"Mer? Are you okay?" he asked softly. He knows I'm prone to panic attacks, and thank god he knows how to help me when I'm having one.
"I- I..." I couldn't get any words out. I try to calm myself down, tell myself this is normal and that I can get through it like I always have. Except it's hard to do that when you start hyperventilating and all you want to do is curl into a ball and cry.
"America, it's okay, I'm here."
Let me rephrase that. He kind of knows how to help me. I curl into a ball and wrap my arms around him, smelling his cologne and his shampoo while controlling my breathing. He wraps his arms around me right as I start BAWLING my eyes out. So not attractive, Mer, I thought.
"Sh, it's okay 'Mer, it's fine." he runs one of his hands through my hair.
*Maxon's POV*
Oh god I hope she's okay. Please be okay. Why am I so useless? No, no I'm not useless, I'm just not educated on this... Right? I thought.
"Mer, do you want some water or something?" I watched as she took a few deep breaths before attempting to respond.
"I- Y... Yes please..." she responded slowly, still trying to calm down and wipe her tears with her sleeve.
"Here, let me." I took my thumb and ran it carefully under her eye to wipe the tear away before gazing into her eyes.
*America's POV*
I gazed deep into his eyes, moving slowly closer to him with each breath, each blink. My lips met his and we melted together. We fit so perfectly together it was hard to believe it could've never happened.
