It started with my sister (CC version)

Anxiety helps love

After walking around for about 20 minutes I start to feel as if I can't breath. I raptly start breathing in and out. I control it to the best of my ability so CC wont notices. I feel my whole body tremble as we continue to walk. I don't understand whats happening. I don't understand why I'm feeling this way. What is happening? My mind starts to fill with random thoughts of everything that could go wrong. I feel my grabs on my breathing control slipping away. I feel as if I hear my bones are chattering together. I feel someone grab onto my hand, holding my hand in there's. The warmth of there hand and the strength of there grip starts to make the thoughts slow down and slowly fade away as we walk. I look down at my hand seeing CC's hand holding mine. I look up at him, he's looking straight forward. He grips my hand a little harder and then relishes back to the strength it was at in the beginning. Like he wants me to know he's there. We continue to hold hands as we walk. I don't realize it until we get to the exit that he was leading me to the exit.

CC's P.O.V

I start to notice Candy breathing more heavily. Maybe she is out of breath, but we haven't been walking that fast. She looks up at me smiling. I notice her body begin to tremble. We continue to walk, her breathing and shaking suddenly gets worst. I grab her hand holding onto her, holding her hand tightly. I feel her trembling palm slow down. I can see out of my peripheral vision that she is looking at me. I tighten my grip and untighten it hoping she knows, I know she is looking at me and that I'm here. She looks back in front of her. I try to find an exit out of the mall, so she can get some air. I also want to get her out because I think the crowds of people are getting to her.

I find an exit leading her out of the mall into the warm air outside. I lead her to the car in the parking lot with really no one but us in it. I stay there with her not saying a word keeping my hand in her's. Her breathing eventually starts to become normal and her shaking stops. She wraps me in a hug not saying anything at first then saying "Thank you. I don't know what I would of down with out you."

"I'm just glade I could help you."

She lets go of me and says "I think that was my social anxiety. I thought I got over that a few years ago, but I guess it came back. Sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about."

I lay Candy in her bed, covering her up. That paint attack must of worn her out because she fell asleep in the car again. I write her a note and put it on her nightstand.

Candy's P.O.V

I wake up in the darkness of what I believe is my room. I turn on my bedside lamp noticing a note. I read the note. "You fell asleep in the car again.Here's my numbered for when you wake up. ###-1#3-##45. Call or text me. I'm here for you. -CC"

Fuck I fell asleep again. Man thoughts two all nighters straight must be coming back to me. I grab my phone texting cc. Hey it's Candy.

I see Zace texted me a few times.

Zace- Hey just realized there is no school today do you want to do something

Zace- Guess your busy

Zace- Hey I think I just saw you at the mall holding some guys hand

Candy- Sorry was out with a friend.I glance up at the time on my phone noticing it's three in the morning. Dame I went out. I make sure my alarm is on and charge my phone.
