When it comes to anxiety, it's either fight or flight.



Diane's pov

My brain is completely fried. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel, I felt empty for once. The only feeling that was there was the warmth and burning feeling from the sun. I haven't felt this way since maybe two or three years ago when my parents died. For once in my life, I didn't know what to do. I was lost. I didn't know whether to run or walk. 

The sun dried my tears halfway and I wiped the rest. I was only found scrolling on my phone with Kiara. "Diane, are you sure nothing happened?" "I-I'm sure. I just.... I- can we go to the library?" I felt a tiny bit better when it came to my current emotions, at least I was able to recover. My phone vibrated- revealing Travis' nickname from my contacts and his pretty face. "Hold on," "Is that your boyfriend?" Kiara asks, making me smile a little, "Yeah." I sniff and hear a song playing aloud, Kiara grabs her phone and reads her screen, "Diane, I'm needed at the house. Do you need me to stay here with you? I can if you want" "Is the police there?!" "Don't worry." she says, "....Okay, I-I'll be at the library then" "Alright, I'll be at the house then" she says. "Okay" we hug and she runs off. 

I quickly pick up the phone,

(sorry yall these face emojis are so cute i had to add em in!! so you might or might not see weird bracket thingys depending on what device you're using)

"Hi" 

"Hola. Am I bothering youʕ•ᴥ•ʔ?" 

"No, what is it?" I clear my voice.

"Nothing, just bored and I was thinking about you so I called you~" 

"Okay (^._.)...." Don't trail off start the conversation Diane, "....So what are you doing?"

 "Nothing much. Just planning on what to do today. What about you?"

 "I'm just living the life of a human being that's all ^-^;" I sniff.

"...What's wrong(・・)?" 

I clear my throat again, "Nothing's wrong(^▽^;)" 

"You sure? It sounds as if you were crying just then"

 "I kinda just woke up..."

 "Sounds interesting.....Do you need anyone with you?" 

"No, I'm just walking to the library for now. Really, I'm fine" I sigh out.

 "K"

 I roll my eyes at the attitude, "K" I mock back playfully, hoping to lighten the mood.
