"Hey pumpkin?" I ask snuggling into bed with her and run my fingers through her hair

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk?" I ask softly

She nods she snuggles into me facing the tv

"Can we talk about my relationship?"

"What about it?"

"Why are you so bothered by it?"

"I'm not I stopped being rude to Travis just so you can be happy" she snaps getting off of my body

"I know you haven't been rude to him lately but I know it still bothers you hunny, we've been dating for almost four months and you're still not used to it, what's wrong? I know something's wrong"

I see tears running down her face, and I lift up her face as I wipe her tears

"Hun you can tell me whatever it is that's been bothering you?"

"I'm just scared for you" she says sobbing

"You don't have to worry about me honey" I say hugging her "do you not want me to keep dating trav? Because if that's what it is, I'll break up with him"

I feel her shake her head in our hug

"You don't have to sacrifice your happiness for me"

"Baby you are my happiness, I would sacrifice everything I have for you"

"If it's not trav, then what is it?"

"I'm just scared he'll break your heart, and the longer you date, the more the break up will hurt if it happens "

"We've been over this hunny, i won't make you responsible about this one if it happens like I did with Joe, im sorry I made you go through that, I really am" I say kissing her head

"What if this breakup hurts you so much you get depressed like you were when I was 9"

"I won't hunny, that wasn't a cause of a breakup, you know it wasn't, besides if it had been, I'm much better now, I'm better emotionally, I can handle it" I say offering her a smile

She snuggles back into me as we just stare at the wall and I play with her hair as she plays with one of the rings on my fingers

"Mom?" She finally says breaking the silence between us

"Yeah pumpkin?"

She looks up at me

"Never mind" she says shaking her head

"What is it baby?"

"Nothing important"

"You sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure"

"Ok let's go to sleep kiddo" I say laying down after kissing her cheek and turning the lamp beside me off

But my daughter doesn't lay down she sits up and I can feel her breath getting heavy as she start hyperventilating

I turn the lamp on and sit down next to her as I hug her

"What's wrong Kas?" I ask but she's having an anxiety attack and she's unable to respond

I turn her face, and start coaching her through her breathing.

She used to get these a lot when she was younger and in the past few months I've seen her get two, I'm starting to worry more than I already was

"Are you feeling better?" I say as I see she's calm down more
