I feel weak. I don't even know why. I swear I'm vibrating. I can hear Selena's voice shouting, Penny! But it sounds menacing. I close my eyes. I'm having a panic attack.
I think of Noah's advice he gave me when I first met him. I give it a shape (sphere) and a colour (black). It's ok, I think. The ball shrinks slightly. The colour is now grey. I think of the sea back in Brighton. It's ok...
The ball's white now, so tiny i can barely see it. I can hear Elliot's voice, less menacing than Selena's. I open my eyes. Elliot and Selena are both standing in front of me, looking generally worried.
"We better take her to her bedroom.." Selena says.
"Good Idea," Elliot agrees. "I'll take her. You go and get her a glass of water."
"Yes. Right," Selena rushes to the kitchen as Elliot takes me to my bedroom (Which is hung up with photos from my bedroom in Brighton) and lays me down on my bed. Selena comes in the room, a glass of water in her hands. "Here, drink this."
"Thank you, " I manage to muster. Elliot looks at me.
"You were having a panic attack, weren't you?"
I nod.
"What caused it?"
I look at Selena. She bites her lip, her eyes screaming, NO!!
"I, er..  I just thought of Sadie Lee.. "
Elliot looks unconvinced. He knows me to well to believe that. But he doesn't say anything.
Selena sighs with relief, and Elliot notices. He looks from me to her, her to me."... So what's the secret?"
"There is no secret." Selena lies unconvincingly.
"Aha. Right."
I look at my nails to distract myself. This is awkward...



















"Selena Davis, do you take Elliot Wentworth to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Selena is going bonkers in love. She repeats the wedding vows several times. "Yes I do! I do I do I do!"
I sigh.
