So...there's two types of attacks that happen to me. Rebel and panic. Only Dylan knows about my panic attacks, and I don't think any of the selected know about the rebel attacks. Anyway, the selection goes on for about a week and I kinda just keep quiet, and talk to Asher. He's just so sweet...whenever I see him he kisses me on the cheek and this is the happiest I've ever been...I think. We're all sitting in the common room, and I'm sitting on the couch next to Dylan when all of the sudden it hits me. I have to choose one of these people. Oh dear god...I can't do it.
I only remember certain things, like Dylan and Asher trying to calm me. See, my panic attacks are kinda like being drunk. You go crazy, but you don't remember anything, but little bits and pieces.
Anyway...it's about an hour after I calm down, and then we all hear it. The screaming of maids and guards, things breaking, and the rush of feet.
Rebels
We all rush to the saferoom, and when we get there I sit on the floor with my back on the back wall. Soon after, more people come in, and Asher sits next to me. We sit in there for a while I'm guessing...but I kinda just zoned out. I look up, and see that Blake has stood. He suddenly starts to sing 'Don't Stop Believin' by Journey, as he spins Emma and they sing together. I get up too, remembering the song, and all the lyrics. I sing the next part, and to my suprise Blake comes to dance with me. We sing as he spins me, and we dance until we've sung all the lyrics...I guess Emma sat down sometime when we were dancing. I grin, and think to myself...He's perfect... "Nobody has ever sang with me before...thanks." I say as I grin more. "No problem." He grins back at me.After that we all just sorta sing together, and they learn about my obsession with music.
