Authors note- this is baes on my experience doing my GCSE's (English exams) and I got my results today which I will put at the end if any of you care also if you have any questions about English exams feel free to ask.
My exams are coming up and I'm super stressed about them, I have been doing really well in class and in all the tests we have done leading up to the final exams so there is a lot of pressure on me from everyone to do well. The stress is starting to really get to me, I haven't really left my room other than to go to school, get food and use the bathroom. I haven't seen much of my parents or my boyfriend and I know that they are concerned about me but all I care about is doing well in exams.
Today is a Saturday so from the minute I woke up I have been studying, I have books and papers everywhere to the point where I don't even know where everything is. At about 2pm I got a text from Daniel my boyfriend which I thought I would answer so he knew that I was still alive.
Daniel: hey baby how are you doing?
You: I'm doing ok, are you ok?
Daniel: I'm fine, can I come over and see you later I haven't seen you in weeks
You: umm I don't know I still have a lot of studying to do
I felt so bad telling him no but I knew that if he was here I would get really distracted and would've get anything done.
Daniel's POV
Y/n told me that she didn't want me to come over which normally would kind of annoy me when I hadn't seen her in so long but this time I just felt bad for her, she is stressing herself out so much that she doesn't do anything else and she just looks stressed.
I decided I would go and surprise her even if at start she didn't want me there I knew she would appreciate it in the end and maybe I could even convince her to study a bit less. When I was leaving to go to hers I decided to go to the store to get her some snacks, I got her some chocolate and sweets and well as some crisps (chips).
After going to the store I drove straight to y/n's house, when I got there her parents let me in and I talked to them for a few minutes. They told me that they hadn't seen her at all today and that she hadn't even come down for food so they asked me if I could bring her a sandwich so they knew that she had eaten something.
I went up to her room and knocked on the door, I didn't hear a response so I tried to open it but it was locked. I knew there was a spare key on the top of the door frame so I grabbed it and unlocked the door. When I opened the door all I could see was books and papers, they covered the floor as well as her bed and desk, the only thing you could make out in the room was y/n sat in the corner with her head in her knees. I could hear her sniffing as if she had been crying, I made my way over to her and sat next to her before pulling her close to me. She tried to talk but no words came out instead tears started to stream from her eyes.
Your POV
I was sat in the corner of my room with my head in my knees after crying for a while when I felt someone pull me close to them, I didn't look to see who it was but I knew it was Daniel as soon as I smelt his cologne which is a comforting scent to me. As he held me I tried to talk but I just cried instead, when I started crying he pulled me right on top of him and held me close while rubbing me back to clam me down. I felt really bad that I hadn't been paying attention to him and now that he's here all I'm doing is crying because I feel bad for myself, this made me cry even more. Daniel continued to comfort me until I calmed down enough to actually talk to him properly about how I was feeling.
Daniel: are you feeling better now?
You: I guess, I'm sorry for ignoring you the past few weeks
