Today has been ok so far, I have been to work and I just got back. I'm going to take a shower and get into comfy clothes. When I got in the shower I let the hot water drip onto my back soothing me. I stayed in the shower for 30 minutes and relaxed. When I came out I put on some shorts and a sports bra.

I left my hair as it was and went downstairs to make dinner for myself. I also text my boyfriend Daniel to see if he would be home soon.
You: hey babe, when will you be home? What do you want me to make for dinner?
I got a reply a few minutes later
Daniel: we are just recording so I will probably be home in about an hour and a half and you can make whatever you want. Love you baby xx
You: love you too xx
I decided to make pesto pasta so I started to make it. After 20 minutes it was done so I put it in a bowl and grabbed a fork and sat down to eat. As I started to eat it started to rain which was unusual for LA. I continued to eat and let my thoughts take over until I was startled by a giant booming clap of thunder.
I have a major phobia of storms so i started to freak out and cry. I don't know what to do because there is no way to get away from it. I began to panic. My heart rate tripled and my breathing quickened but at the same time I felt like I was gasping for air. My vision became blurry with tears and sheer panic.
I was snapped out of my state when my phone started ringing which made me jump. I looked at the contact name and it was Daniel. So I answered even more panicked that something was wrong as he was recording.
Daniel: are you ok? I know you hate storms. I will be home really soon I just left.
You: I'm o-ok I think. You don't have to leave if you need to record
Daniel: no way am I leaving you on your own in a storm and the boys fully understood. I will be there soon hold on baby .
Daniel ended the call and then there was another huge clap of thunder came from outside. I started crying again so I went to sit on the sofa. I curled up in a ball and hid my face in my knees to try and make myself feel safe.
-5 minutes later-
I was still curled up in a ball crying until I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and a kiss being planted on the top of my head. I looked up and saw Daniel. He grabbed me and lifted me onto his lap and held me close. He started to whisper in my ear.
"Don't worry baby I'm here now the storm cant hurt you. Try to calm down just breath in and then out slowly." He said
I flowed his instructions and i calmed down a bit. Then there was a strike of lightning and I screamed.
" hey hey don't worry your fine. What can I do to calm you down?" Daniel asked
"I don't know I usually listen to music to calm down" i replied
"Ok let me sing to you" Daniel said he started to sing
Have you seen a sunset turn into a sunrise
Kiss right through the night
Cause we should try that sometime
Hold you till the morning
And if I said I'm falling would you just reply
I know you are but what am I
After he was done singing the storm had eased up And I wasn't so panicked. The rest of the evening me and Daniel spent curled up in bed together in bed. Daniel was so sweet and kept me calm when the storm got worse.
