My breathing is restricted. I can't breathe. I can hear someone yelling.
"LET US IN!" The voices scream, making my ears ring. I try to scream but I can't. "He-lp- me-" Is all I can get out before my vision starts to blur. "Adeline!" A voice says, but everything is so muffled I can't tell who it is. I try to fight my attacker, but I can't find any arms. I feel my feet get taken off the floor as I am lifted into the air. "YOU WILL LET US IN!" The voices yell again, my ears feel cold. "No!" I snap my eyes shut and yell as I finally regain my strength.
"You have no power over me!" I scream as the thing finally lets me go. I gasp for air as I fall down fast. I feel someone catch me. I feel myself gently get sat on the ground as I try to catch my breath. "Adeline?" Colby says as I finally open my eyes. "What the hell was that?" Kat yells as Sam pulls her close.
"Adeline, are you okay?" Colby asks, more sternly. I nod as I look at him. Reality starts to hit me as I feel myself giving in to my panic attack. I feel my hands go numb as I hyperventilate. I shake my hands to try to regain the feeling. "Is she okay?" Sam asks, I close my eyes, rubbing my palms on my pants to get the feeling to stop. "Adeline?" Colby asks, I open my eyes, still flustered he knows my name. "I'm fine, can I go outside and get some air?" I ask softly, my breathing is sparse, but I can conceal it. Colby nods as he follows me outside.
As soon as the cool air hits my lungs I feel relief. I walk to the car and open the trunk. I unzip my suitcase and grab my anxiety medication. "What's that?" Colby asks, making me jump. "Oh, uhm, I was diagnosed with severe anxiety when I was like 15, so now I take medication to actually function, that's why I'm not super nervous in all my videos." I explain, opening the small bottle and pulling a pill out and swallowing it dry. I close the bottle and shove it back into the suitcase, closing it and then closing the trunk. "It should kick in soon." I smile, bundling up my sleeves over my hands. He nods. After a moment of silence, I speak again, "You can go back in, just tell them I'm peeing or something." I say, chuckling softly. "No, it's like the middle of nowhere, and creepy people stay in the middle of nowhere and steal pretty girls." He says, pulling his phone out to check the time.
