Hidden Panic

Heads up: There will be a panic attack.

Emily's POV:
Emily and Derek were at church with their families when Emily felt herself begin to go into a panic attack. She excused herself from her family and went outside as quickly as she could. She had not seen Derek but he and his family were only a few rows behind her family. Emily ran around to the back of the building with a section with pipes as wide as benches. It had a wall around it and the wall was hidden by a tree and several large bushes. Emily sat on one of the benches and tried to ground herself but every attempt was futile. She was crying and had laid down to listen to the soft hum that passed thru the pipes. This worked at grounding her and she stayed like that still trying to get thru her attack.

Derek's POV:
Derek watched as Emily began to shake while she was sitting.  Then he saw her get up and leave stumbling as she left the building. He excused himself and went to follow her. When he stepped outside she was nowhere to be seen and he couldn't hear her. So he went with the first prompting he got and walked around to the back of the building. Then he heard a soft sobbing. It was coming from his and Emily's special spot. Emily was in there and all alone while had a hold on her. He entered into the small section to see Emily laying down on a pipe and crying. He walked over to her and picked her up holding her close to his chest.

Emily's POV:
Emily felt strong but gentle hands pick her up. She felt the warmth of someone else's body. Then she heard a quiet and gentle singing. She knew this person. It was her boyfriend Derek. Emily's crying subsided and her breathing evened out. The only evidence of her panic attack were her tear stained cheeks and red puffy eyes. She hid her face in Derek's chest. He was so good to her. She felt Derek hold her closer and kiss the top of her head. Soon Emily was asleep in his arms and for that moment in time all was right with the world.
