"I love this rainy weather!" Connor expelled, I don't I am so afraid of the thunder. I've been doing good with hiding my anxiety but I feel like this weather is not going to get any better. Connor is staring out my bedroom window, I hear a clap of thunder. I jump, Connor does not notice. "Hey Connor want to listen to some music?" I ask nervously, hoping he would not notice the crack in my voice. "Later? The sound of the rain and the thunder is so soothing don't you think so?" He glanced over at me then continued to watch the rain and the lighting.
A loud clap of thunder hits. I scream. Connor body shot towards mine worriedly. I crawl under my bed so he can't ask me any questions. "Jude what happened? Are you okay?" Connor looked under the bed but I shut my eyes tight before he could see the fear in my eyes. "Jude please come out and talk to me!" He pushed gently, I remain under the bed. "We can listen to music now Jude, that should make it better!" Connor played twenty one pilots to try and calm me.
"Jude you've been under there for 20 minutes and you've not said a word, please come out!" Connor pleaded, I stuck my head out from the bottom of the bed. "Only when the storm is over!" I choked. I heard Connors body hit the floor, he laid on the floor and stared into my eyes. "Is that what this whole thing was about?" He paused, "The thunder and lighting?" I cringed at the words. "Yeah, I mean I've always been afraid of the noise that the thunder made an..." Connor cut me off, "Jude you could have told me, its nothing to be embarrassed about." He reached his arm out and took my hand. His thumb softly ran over my curled fingers, his hands are warm and soft. "So are you going to come out? Or am I going to have to drag you out of here?" He tugs on my hand, in order to pull me out from under the bed. "No just give me one minute. I need to recollect myself." Connor stood up to continue to look at the rain. There has not been to much thunder since I crawled under the bed, but the odd strike. I decide it is time for me to get out from under my bed. As I make my way out Connor grabs my hand and helps me out. "Jude I was really worried about you." He hugs me and kisses my cheek.
