Collided

Chapter 12

Rey's POV:

Rey was having a full on panic attack. She was breathing heavy, her chest was hurting, her heart was racing, and she couldn't concentrate on anything but the big problem she is dealing with right now. She could tell Ben was giving it his all to help her but every thing he said was mute and all she could hear was her sobs. It wasn't just the thought of Snoke or whoever had her bag finding her house or stealing something from her bag. It was all the hard work she put into getting money and spending it on dance shoes. Also her driver's license but that was the thing she worried least about. She can get that back by going to the DMV. It's the money that can't be easily taken back. Ben is right. She really needs to cancel her debit card. Good thing she has a spare key to her apartment in her dance locker. She was beginning to hear Ben's voice but it was still hard to piece it all together.

"Rey... Rey... it's going to be okay. I promise. I promise on my life. No one will hurt you and you will get everything back. Rey you just need to calm down so we can figure out what to do."

"Ben... I... do you have... those... damn it why can't I fucking talk!?"

"Breathe... you were saying 'do you have those...' Focus on what you're trying to say and not on your panic attack." She focused so hard it hurt and finally got out what she was trying to say.

"Do you have those... pills for panic attacks. This one... this one is bad."

"In my car. You need to get up. I'm not leaving you even 5 feet away from me."

"Ben... I'm trying... I can't think straight." She really was trying to get her body to stand up but panic attacks kind of stop you from doing pretty much anything.

"I'm carrying you to the car then." He picked her up like she weighed nothing and walked to his car. He set her on the ground by the door and held onto her arms to keep her steady.

"I need you to stand up just for a second. Hold on to something if you feel like you're going to fall."He let go and she surprisingly stood pretty well. He got the medicine from his car and got back to Rey in less than a minute.

"I don't have any water so you'll have to swallow the pill alone."

"I don't give a shit... anything to get rid of this damn panic attack." She swallowed the pill quickly and waited for it to kick in. As she was leaning against Ben's car with Ben beside her, Rose and Jyn suddenly came into view.

"Hey Rey! What are you doing here?" Rose was as excited as ever while Jyn just smiled.

"Can't talk." Rey closed her eyes and hoped Ben would explain, which thank goodness he did.

"She's having a bit of a crisis right now."

"Oh what happened?"

"Her bag is gone and it has everything in it."

"Oh shit. That sucks. Well I hope you find your bag." They have no idea what could happen to her if someone has all her information. Jyn finally said something.

"We're heading to dinner. You guys can come if you want. It can take the stress off from losing your bag."

"Guys I don't think she-"

"Actually Ben... lets go with them. I don't want to think about the problem right now." She could feel herself relax and her heartbeat calm down.

"Okay. Whatever you want." Jyn looked slightly worried while Rose didn't seem fazed at all by what's happening.

"Wait... are you and Officer Solo together?!"

"Yeah."

"Oh my gosh! Jyn you owe me 20 bucks. I knew they would get together!"
