Bondi Rescue Imagines

Mouse ~ Panic

Requested by  heyitsvicki

Warnings: Panic attack, creepy guy, sexual harassment

Today was such a lovely day. You thought it would be a good idea to go to Bondi for the afternoon, as your other half, Mouse,  was working there and it would be a great opportunity to wash away the stress you had been feeling recently. You grabbed your beach towel and your sunglasses before locking the door to the apartment you shared with your boyfriend Mouse. 

It had been a couple of weeks since you had had the time to go to the beach, joy taking over you as soon as you heard the sound of the crashing waves and the laughter from people surrounding you. It was the end of summer and the beach wasn't too overcrowded which made you sigh of relief, things could be a bit overwhelming when tourists flooded the sand. 

You made your way to the tower first, to say hello to everyone before settling down on the sand. You smiled as you were greeted by the warm smile of Harries. 

"Y/N! It's so good to see you!" He exclaimed, pulling you into a warm hug before moving out of the way, so you could enter.

You walked up the steps to see Mouse sat at the front, watching the water through the binoculars. He placed them down, turning around to face you, a wide smile spreading across his face. He stood, placing a chaste kiss to your lips, pulling back a chair for you to sit on. 

"You didn't tell me you were coming here today" He smiled, taking your hand in his, squeezing it gently. You stayed like that for a while, just chilling in the tower, until Mouse went down to patrol the south end. You then decided it was time to go down onto the sand. You made your way to the flags for a swim. The water was a lovely temperature, perfect for a quick paddle. 

As you swam back to the shoreline, you felt someone crash into you, hands brushing along your thigh. You turned around to be met by the vacant stare of a middle-aged man. He smirked, looking directly into your eyes as he emerged fully from the water.

"Sorry, darling. Didn't see you there" He slurred, the stench of alcohol emanating from his breath. You tried to get away from him, seeing as he tried to follow you out of the water. He grabbed your waist before trying to kiss you. You managed to get out his grasp as he stumbled, falling onto the sand, most likely due to the amount of alcohol coursing through his veins. 

You felt your hands start to shake, your heartbeat speeding up. You knew what was coming, the signs of a panic attack all there. You knew what you needed to do, you needed to find Mouse. You stumbled over to the nearest lifeguard buggy, seeking help. Your vision was disfigured as if you were looking through glasses that didn't belong to you, tears clouding your sight.  You tried to slow down the rapid breaths escaping your lips but failed. 

"Y/N? Are you okay?" You heard a voice ask, trying to steady your trembling body. You recognised the voice as Harrison's.

"M-M-Mouse, I need Mouse" You managed to stutter through your laboured breaths. He didn't respond but you felt him lift you up and place you in the buggy, the muffled sound of the sirens resonating in your ears slightly as he raced down to the tower, radioing Mouse to come up as soon as possible. 

His buggy arrived only a couple of seconds after Harrison had parked up. Mouse ran over to the side you were sat, gently picking you up and carrying you up the stairs to the medical bed. Harrison got the oxygen ready as Mouse held your hand, whispering reassuring words in your ear, trying to help you calm down. Your eyes darted around the room, the inability to focus become substantial. He placed his palms against your soft cheeks, trying to calm your trembling figure and asking you to look at him. You eventually managed to slow your breathing down, the panic attack gradually coming to an end. 

"What happened? " Mouse asked softly as you fell into his arms, exhausted from everything that had just occurred.

"There was a- there was a man, he tried to kiss me" You tried to explain, sensing the newly appeared anger radiating off of everyone around you.

Mouse tried to stay as calm as he could for your sake, getting you to point out the man whilst one of the others called the police. 

"It's okay, you're safe now."
