You start to scream. You fall out of bed and hit your head on the wall behind you. Tears are pouring down your face.
Jesse wakes with a start and runs over to you. He kneels a few feet away from you.
"{Y/N}, listen to me." He speaks calmly, despite your screaming. "Can you name five things you can hear?"
Your voice shakes. "U-u-uh... my heartbeat..."
"Good, keep going."
"Y-your voice... the a-air conditioner... the clock... a-and..."
"One more, {Y/N}." Jesse puts his hand up.
"A-a-and my voice..."
Jesse takes a small step closer. "Good job. Now tell me four things you see."
Your eyes dart around the room. "U-uh... you... m-my hands... th-the bed... and the door..."
Jesse gives you a warm smile and comes a little closer. "What about three things you can touch from where you are?"
You plant your hands on the carpet. "The floor... and... my clothes... and... the wall..."
Jesse nods and takes another step closer. "Good, good. What are two things you can smell?"
You feel your heart rate slowing as you take a deep breath in through your nose. "Cigarettes... and your cologne..."
Jesse is now face to face with you. "Almost done. Tell me one thing you can taste."
"Salt." You lick your lips and taste your tears. "I taste salt."
Jesse smiles and picks up your hand. "Feeling better?"
Before you realize it, you're almost completely calmed down.
"Y-yeah..." you sigh, squeezing Jesse's hand.
"Do you want to go see Angela?" Jesse combs your hair back. You nod. Jesse helps you up, draping a blanket across your shoulders.
