The Spy

Chapter 16

 Alex's POV

       I couldn't go back to sleep. My brain wouldn't let me. I just sat on Jacob's bed thinking about my parents. Everytime I closed my eyes their crash showed up in my head. I have heard footsteps walking along this top floor but I have been to scared to move. 

   Suddenly I stood up and began walking. I don't know where. My eyes are fogged over and I couldn't see anything. I came up to a wall and slid down it. I could feel tears spilling out of my eyes. Pictures of my parents and my older brothers face covered the fog over my eyes. It suddenly became very hard to breath. I began gasping trying to get air into my lungs but they felt tight. My chest began to feel like it was on fire. Fire. Something I have a fear of. 

    The images of my brother leaving now started to fill my vision. I couldn't breath. My brother left me when I was 5. He hasn't contacted me since. I still remember everything we did. 

    A sob escaped my mouth. Many more followed. I am having a panic attack and no one is here to help me. I heard footsteps start to come near the door but soon my hearing left. All I could hear were the screams of my parents. Images from both my brother leaving and my parents death is all my brain focused on.

    I could hear someone talking but I couldn't tell who it was or what they were saying. I felt myself being rocked back and fourth. "Alex." I heard someone yell. "Haven move away from her." I heard another yell. I stopped being shook and was pulled into someone's arms. 

    Sobs kept coming out of my mouth. I just couldn't stop. My whole body felt like it was on fire. I could hear people talking but I couldn't make out the words. The person holding me was rocking me back and fourth in a soothing way.

    My sobs would just not stop. I continued to cry. I couldn't help it. All I could think about was my family and how I don't have anyone anymore. 

   Slowly black dots filled my vision. Soon darkness consumed me.

      Jacob's POV

     I was sitting in the office trying to find more information about Olive. "JACOB!" I heard someone yell. I looked over at my clock to see that it is 4:30 in the morning. Why the heck is someone yelling at this time.

      "JACOB GET IN HERE! IT'S ALEX." My heart stopped. 

    I instantly got out of my desk chair and ran towards my room. I opened the door to see Alex in the corner sobbing. Haven was next to her about to touch her. 

    "Alex." I said. She didn't move when I said her name. It is almost like she can't hear us.

     "Haven move away from her." I said in a cold tone. I don't want him touching what's mine. He nodded and moved away. I instantly pulled her into my arms and started to rock her. 

    "Haven go get the doctor."  He nodded and ran out of the room. 

    I looked down at the girl in my arms. She was still sobbing and she was rolling around. I just kept rocking her. 

    "Mom, dad, come back." She whispered before she stopped fighting and stopped moving. I could tell she didn't die because her chest was moving up and down slowly.  The doc ran in looking tired.

      "What happened sir?" He questioned with worry. 

    "It's Alex. She was crying in the corner and wouldn't stop. She wouldn't reply to us almost like she couldn't hear us. She was sweating a lot too." I said. He walked over to me and squatted down. He opened her eyes even though she was passed out. He did something with his tools. 

    After a little while he stood up. I looked up at him. He looked calm so I know nothing too bad happened.

      "So what happened?" I asked. He sighed.

   "She had a panic attack." My heart stopped. I looked down at the girl that is passed out in my arms. What has this girl been through if she is having panic attacks. 

    Hey guys sorry for the short chapter. <3
