Drew, I yell in my mind.

I have so many mixed emotions, questions and fears that have been bottled up. For this moment, that I've been dreading for a long time. I slightly gulp looking away a bit shaky.

How can he be so calm when all I want to do is drown in my tears. I look around because I can't put into words what I was feeling. Someone help me I can't breathe.

"not, me no person, you speak-no", I say in a random gibberish accent nodding my head. Kind of squinting my face embarrassed holding back tears.

Was that even English-oh gosh he is making a face, he knows- this can't be happening. I look around as I feel my heart racing, hands getting sweaty and tears forming.

"Oh, I'm sorry I thought you were someone else". I am still lost for words trying not to cry in front of him, so I turn around into a jog.

"hey vee where'd you go Ashley is wai-", Lynn says almost crashing into me.

Confusion spreads across her face as I run past her to the spot we were previously at as she follows behind me.

"Vee wait up".

She reaches for my hand, instantly feeling the coldness; I stop in my tracks. All the emotions I thought I surpassed keep rushing at once. So, I just look at our hands, how they fit so perfect together. As I look up, I notice her soft eyes staring back at me. I feel my body begin to shiver and the emotions try to escape my body, but I resist.

"hey, what's wrong are you okay", She asks concerned. It seems as if I got one more bar of Wi-Fi connection, but the signal is barely hanging on. I nervously let go and walk a few inches from her shaking off the anxiety coming on. I try to speak in my mind to make myself feel better.

Vee calm down you're overreacting, and you know it, just push the feeling away. Do not let it control you, this is just a panic attack, inhale. Now Exhale your state of mind. I face her once again still a bit shaky.

"yeah I'm fine, don't worry- just had something in my eye", My voice fails me smiling through the pain as a tear manages to escape. I lied to her and I hate lying to people, I'm such an idiot. All I want to do is scream as I feel my heart sinking. Everything becomes overwhelming for me.

"Maybe it's an eyelash or something, here let me help you", She says getting extremely close to my face. I hold my breath as she touches my cheek yet again with her cold hands.

"it's okay I think it's gone now", I say looking at her face and taking in her beautiful features.

HONK

"Hey what the heck are you guys doing, let's go", Ashley yells pushing the door open.

We quickly move away from each other. I exhale once again as I get into the passenger seat, Lynn goes around to the other side since there was equipment on the seat.

"sorry we were talking and got distracted", I say shyly.

"Yeah sure, talking- more like you got lost in her eyes", She smirks shaking her eyebrows, bumping shoulders with me. I roll my eyes at her "Ashe stop, we were okay plus you know I don't like girls-well at least not in that way", I say deny my feelings, putting on my seat belt.

"I mean if that's what you believe", she shakes her eyebrows again, as I bulge my eyes at her to stop; Lynn gets in the car. I look out the window and wonder what she meant by that. The thought of drew comes to me once again. But I push it away wiping my hands on my pants. I feel Ashe staring at me, but I resist from facing her.
