After a couple of hours we finish sorting out the janitors closet and it's the end of the school day, so we begin walking home.

"Hello Madison, Chandler. How was school?" My mum asks but before we can respond, she looks and me and her eyes widen. "Madison, darling. What happened? You've been crying, haven't you?" She asks, examining my face.
My head falls. "I had a panic attack" I say quietly. "Oh Madison" she says quietly. "Another one" she continues.
I slowly nod my head. "We...uh. We were told to clean out the janitors closet" I begin to explain.
"Your claustrophobia, again?" She knew instantly and I nod. She embraces me in a hug. We remain that way for a few seconds until we finally remember Chandler is still in the room.
I look over to Chandler and then back at mum. "Chandler saved me" I say quietly. She goes and embraces him into a hug "Thank you, Chandler" she smiles. "Honestly, its okay, Erica" he replies with a smile.
"Go and relax for bit, you two. I'm going out with my friends for a bit. I think we're gonna go out for some tea, so are you two okay with cooking something yourselves for tea?"
We both nod. "Okay, see you later" I kiss her on the cheek as she leaves the house.

I've been watch TV for about 10 minutes when I am disturbed by Chandler quietly opening the door.
I glance over and I see Chandler's face filled with a mixture of worry and disappointment.
He walks over and grabs the remote and turns off the TV. "Hey! What are you doing?" My voice raises ever so slightly and I stand up to face him.
"Madison, you should really rest for a bit. You've had a really stressful day" he instructs me.
I look down and sigh. After a few seconds I look back up at him and embrace him tightly. "Thank you, Chandler" I whisper.
We release and I look at him dead in the eye. My eyes drift to his lips, at this moment I finally realise that he is one of the only people who truly care about me, he's been there at my worst and he stuck by me. He was the one who saved me.
Before I know it, I nervously press my lips against his.
His lips are soft and they fit perfectly with mine. He quickly melts into the kiss but it doesn't take long before I feel awkward and pull away.
He looks disappointed.
"Sorry" I mumble nervously and avoid eye contact. I suddenly feel three fingers being placed under my chin and I am forced to look at him. He places his soft, plump lips on mine for a second and then pulls away.
"There's no need to keep thanking me" he says quietly and we're left in an awkward silence.
How are we gonna take it from here?
