I wake up to the Lisa's cat kneading me. "Charles," I mutter, "get off," and gently place him at the foot of the bed. I roll over, expecting to see Kath lying next to me. But all I see in an indent in the bed. I feel it. Cold. So she's been up for a while. Usually she likes to sleep in, but maybe her anxiety woke her up.

I get out of bed, slip on socks, and then go downstairs to see if she's down there. No sign. The house is quiet, as it is 6am on a Saturday.

"Kath?" I whisper call, not wanting to wake the household. I would assume she was on a walk, except it's dark outside and Kath really dislikes the dark.

Maybe she's in the bathroom, but why would the bed be cold then? I decide to check it out anyway. When I get to the guest bathroom, the door is locked and I can see a beam of light shining out from under the door. "Kath?" I knock quietly.

I hear a sniffle and a timid voice, "Yes?"

"Are you okay?"

The door swing open, and Kath falls into my arms, sobbing.

"Hey, hey," I rub her back. "What's wrong?"

She doesn't answer.

"Anxiety attack?" I ask and she nods.

"It's going to be okay," I say and gesture for her to sit down. We slide down the wall outside the bathroom and I sit with her. "Breathe." I have to tell her multiple times.

Slowly after about half an hour, her breathing starts slow down and her anxiety attack starts to go away.

"How long?"

"All night," she sniffles, "but it got really bad around 5."

"I'm sorry," I whisper, gently caressing her.

I hold her until the sun rises. When it starts to get light she stands up shakily and goes in the bathroom to get ready for the day. I hope she's okay.

HI. I KNOW THIS CHAPTER WAS KIND OF BORING AND ANTI-CLIMATIC. THAT'S CAUSE I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY- IT'S THE SECOND TO LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL- I ONLY HAD 5 MINUTES TO WRITE THIS, AND I WILL HAVE TONS OF TIME TO WRITE OVER THE SUMMER AND I HAVE A GREAT PLOT-LINE FOR THIS BOOK.  SO EXPECT SOME NICE, LONG, EXCITING CHAPTERS COMING UP :) I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO VOTE AND COMMENT. PEACE ✌🏻
