My mom leaves the room to take a breather. I wake up Belle, she happily gets up and goes outside of my room, as Belle opens the door I hear my mom screaming on the phone. I can hear her choking up, I begin to feel as if my chest is starting to weigh more than what it used to, I feel pressure on my throat as the situation starts to sink in.
I kneel down as I curl into a ball, trying to breathe. I start getting dizzy as my whole body starts to feel heavy. I've never struggled to breathe like this before. I look up taking a rough breath in, sounding as if I just escaped drowning. I'm suddenly aware of every sound, and everything starts to be twice as hard to handle, everything is too loud, too quiet, too bright, too dark, too..
It was just too much.
Someone taps me on the shoulder, I jump up and crawl backwards without looking up. When I look up and see my mom mouthing something. I can't hear her. I bury my face into my hands, as tears raced across my cheeks, After some time, I hear the ringing get farther and farther away, I can hear myself cry, I hear myself huff as Its finally over. I start coughing, once I can feel the air coming through throat.
I'm okay.
