Skylar's POV
Jacob left after my mom came and picked me up because he said that his mom was out running errands and he would call her. My mom must've been really concerned about me or whatever because I can't believe she ACTUALLY let him call his mom to pick him up. I felt bad. I pretty much ruined the whole thing because of another one of my freak outs. I felt like crap. I just wanted to go home and put on some fuzzy socks, super comfy yoga pants and a sweatshirt.
(🎶SWEATSHIIIRRT🎶 I'm sorry I had to.)
I got home and had taken a quick shower and put on my lounge clothes when I got a text.
Hey, how are you? 😊
Okay. Thanks again.
It's cool.
Look, Skylar, I'm really sorry I wouldn't leave you alone before. I just feel really guilty about it. Will you forgive me?
Of course! It's okay too, I mean I just have those sometimes when I'm stressed. But in case you're wondering that was one of the reasons I was worried to meet you in person. Because I have anxiety attacks. 😪
Skylar. That must be really hard. I so sorry.
Eh. It's okay.
There's nothing to help it though?
Well, unless I avoid all situations that could cause anxiety... But we literally just went for ice cream so do you see my point? 😂
But I caused it. It was my fault.
Jacob, no. Don't blame yourself. It doesn't matter anymore I'm fine! I just took a shower, and I'm in my sweats, I'm as happy as can be! 😂😂
Skylar, I'm serious. I don't want to do that to you again.
No Jacob. I'm serious. You need to understand me when I say that these things happen. I don't get anxiety attacks when I don't like the person I'm standing next to. I get them when I'm really stressed out.
But I stressed you out.
Yes, but that's because of the questions you were asking me. They brought back horrible memories that also helped trigger the attack.
I just. Don't want to hurt you.
Jacob. You. Won't. Please stop second guessing everything!! I just want the old Jacob back, the silly happy one! Where's he??
... (2 minutes pass)
Jacob?
I'm here.
Are you sure YOU'RE okay??
Yeah.
Ok, this isn't right. Come over to my place I'm seeing you.
What?
What, do you have somewhere else to be?
Well, no.
Then what are you waiting for?! Let's have a sleepover!!
