Shadails: New Love

Chapter 2

Shadow's POV

I'm laying on the couch in tail's workshop. He works on a few machines, i'm not sure what they are. Trying to stop another anxiety attack. He hooks up a few wires to me.

Shadow: what's this supposed to do?

Tails: supposed to remove the anxiety but, I haven't reached that point yet so, now it lessens the chance of the attack.

Shadow: alright.

Tails starts the machine and everything goes well. It ended and the anxiety has been reduced. Shadow hugged tails, then they actually go hangout somewhere.

Shadow: where should we go?

Tails:anywhere! oh! maybe the park? it's nice and peaceful!

Shadow: alright

They go to the park, the sunlight shines down through the trees. Flowers growing on the side of the stone path. Benches were on a few sides of the path.Shadow and Tails sat down on one of the benches. Quiet and peaceful.

Tails: This is good for anxiety. Calm the mind and the body. Is the effects still working?

Shadow: yeah, is this permanent?

Tails: Only a few more sessions, it takes time to make the effect last long.

Shadow: alright

So, shadow again and umm, i guess i'll tell you a trigger for the anxiety.

Well,it's about not my past but, how I handle being in public. I've had a hard time being in a big crowds. I'm starting to think it's social anxiety.

Tails: your next session is next Thursday. You think you'll be ok?
Shads: I think so, what do I need to do till then?
Tails: avoid big crowded areas. If where you're at starts getting too busy, leave immediately and head home. Home is where you're safe ok?
Shads: yeah
Tails:ok good, cya then!

Tails leaves and I start to head home. Home is my safe area. No one comes to me unless they tell me they are. Only tails or sonic has stopped by. I walk in, lock the door and shut the blinds. I do this to make it look like no ones home. Kinda like a little trick. I sit in my room watching tv to calm myself down after that last session. Then, I dose off. I get a small nightmare and it's about me being chained to the ground, surrounded by a large crowd. Unable to break free. I feel my anxiety shooting up. I woke myself up by screaming. I found myself sweating and panting hard. I manage to calm down. Then a thought comes... what if this really happens? I'm probably going crazy. There's no way. Dreams aren't real right? Well, let's just hope I'm right about this.
