I shut my door behind me, sliding the floor. Everything was wrong. My heart was racing, my hands were clammy, and I felt like the world was a merry-go-round. What was this feeling?
I stood dizzily, walking over to my freezer. My face felt hot, so I assumed I was just sick. I grabbed an ice pack and pressed it against my neck, the cold relief soothing me. I had made it to my sofa when I heard my phone ring.
Still holding the ice to my neck, I picked up the phone. "Hello, Y/N here." I answered.

But even as I started to fall asleep, I wished he would.
