She fell in love on a Wednesday.
It seemed like any other wednesday she had encountered in her life. The day dragged on because it was the middle of the week, with the aftertaste of monday still fresh and the weekend just out of reach.
She didn't plan on falling in love on Wednesday.
He was standing there next to her, and he had this far off look in his eyes, his lips quivered, and his breathing shallow. A panic attack.
So she did the first thing that came to her mind. She dragged him away from the crowd, and watched him as he collapsed to the floor of the boys locker room.
She was the type of girl who liked having everything on a very specific track. She was after all a very specific person.
She didn't plan on him having a panic attack. But then again, lately a lot of unplanned things had been happening.
So, as she stumbled over words trying to help him calm down, she did the most unplanned thing to date.
She kissed him.
…...
He always had a backup plan to everything he did.
So when his dad was taken, and then his best friend decided to partner up with the enemy, he was sure he would have a plan to fix all of what had happened.
He always had a plan. Until he got the call saying all three sacrifices were in place.
It was was then that shit hit the fan.
Everything happened in slow motion, his eye sight blurred first, the buzzing in his ears came next, and finally the erratic breathing came last.
It was a panic attack.
He hadn't had one this bad since after his mother had died. Usually he could bring himself down from them, but he didn't have a plan and his father was going to die and he didn't know what to do.
All of a sudden he was on the floor and she was trying to talk him down, nothing was working and it was getting worse. And then?
She kissed him.
…...
And suddenly they were kissing, lips locked and meshing as if they were matching puzzle pieces.
Both of their heart beats unsteady and erratic.
It ended almost as quickly as it began and they were staring at each other.
An unsteady breath "how'd you do that?"
A nervous pause, lick of the lips "I uhm read once that holding your breath could stop a panic attack...so when I uhh kissed you...you uhm held..your..breath" averted eyes.
Big eyes, unsure look "I did?"
Breathless smile "Yeah" nod "You did"
Quivering lip "Thanks"
…...
She didn't plan on falling in love on a Wednesday.
He didn't plan on not having a plan.
But sometimes its the unplanned plans that turn out to be the best plans.
