Warning: Anxiety

Summary:  The one where your anxiety overwhelms you and the rain is your best friend, then Tyler comes and helps you silently
____

The first drops of rain hit your car window as you drove up the driveway to your parent’s house. When you opened the door the house was just as silent as you expected.
You knew exactly that they were gone for a weekend trip but you still came there, hoping you could free your mind for a few days.

All you wanted to do was to let everything fall and take a nap but instead you went up to the guest room and put all your belongings away neatly. You hung your thin coat up and set your shoes aside. The only thing bothering you now was the silence, you thought it would help to just be alone for a while and to get out of the toxic environment your apartment had become but it was quite frankly the opposite.

It was too silent and your thoughts seemed to consume you completely. You saw your chest rising irregularly and dizziness took over you. You could see all of your worries vividly in front of your eyes everytime you blinked. Work, your colleagues stressed and always on the lookout for someone to blame; your boss never being satisfied with you, your family and friends being unhappy about you growing so distant from them and then there was Tyler, you saw him but it wasn’t him. It was as if you couldn’t even remember parts of him, the shade of his eyes, his smell it all seemed to be indefinite.

Without realising it your feet had taken you down the stairs and into the backyard. You felt like you had never taken such a deep breath while you tried to take in even more oxygen than possible. You sank to your knees, hands gripping the wet grass trying to hold on to anything there was. The rain got heavier but you didn’t care. You let yourself sink backwards and there you were, lying in the grass by now completely soaked. It made you feel pathetic but you couldn’t get yourself to stop. You didn’t even hear your own sobs and sniffles because the sound of thunder drowned them.

Minutes had passed, possibly hours of you just laying there crying your eyes out trying to clear your head. Steps made you look up and before you realised it a slumped figure was next to you. It gripped you tightly and pulled you into their lap. You didn’t even have to look up to know it was Tyler. 
The way he held you, the smell, the caressing fingertips. You didn’t talk for a while, he had started humming to you and soon you felt better. Each raindrop now felt as if it was washing your anxiety away, lifting it off of you and you knew that beyond the rain there was sunshine.
At some point Tyler had lifted you up and taken you into the house away from the rain. Just then he spoke “I will always be there for you and I will always love you.” You hugged him tightly while looking into his eyes, brown. Tyler’s eyes were the most calming shade of brown you had ever seen, you never wanted to forget that again.
