Third chapter...wow XDDDD
Let's go!
Hiro's first anxiety attack was when she started her first day of school. Any child's first day of school would be somewhat of a frightening or exciting experience,but for Hiro, it was scary. She had wept all morning in class, asking where her big brother had gone. She was smaller then the other kids as well so she was made an easy target for the other kids in class to pick on. Though, when lunch break came around, she decided to try and find her big brother only to have kids picking on her and in groups wherever she went. She eventually found her big brother, who was in the higher graded classes, but by then lunch break had ended. Upon heading back to her class, she had already felt pretty stressed and just wanted to ball her eyes out again. Though she had already registered the fact that if she did ball her eyes out more, the other kids would taunt her more. Her entire afternoon was spent being quiet and separating herself from the rest of her classmates.
Around came nap time, the teacher noticed her actions and 'forced' her to lay beside another one of the kids. Overwhelming emotions within her suddenly came over her. At first the teacher, watching over the sleeping kids, just assumed Hiro was trying to hold in choking sobs. But 5 minutes later they only got worse. This was also becoming disturbing to the other napping children. The teacher decided to check up on Hiro only to find that the little girl was hyperventilating severely. The teacher tried to move Hiro away from the rest of the class but upon touching her, Hiro flinched hardly and her breathing soon became Short and heavy. The teacher was quite shocked and immediately took Hiro to the school infirmary where she could receive treatment.
Eventually when school ended, Tadashi received word that his little sister was in the infirmary and quickly dashed over there. "What an earth had happened? " Tadashi thought to himself. Upon entering the room, relief washed him of any concerns he was under as his aunt was there along side Hiro, who was sleeping in her lap. Though it was still worrisome. He eyed his sleeping sister on his aunt's shoulder, as they walked out to his aunt's car. On the ride home, Aunt Cass had filled her nephew in on what had happened during the day to Hiro. Though the two could agree that it was something out of the ordinary.
Over the next few days at school were similar re-occurrence of yesterday for Hiro but became much worse by the fourth day as Hiro was sent to the Hospital by midday for a sudden collapse on the playground that rendered her unconscious. The teachers attending to Hiro noticed that she wasn't breathing and had called on other staff to call 911 while one of them began CPR on her. Tadashi had rushed over to the commotion as soon as he got out of his class. It looked pretty bad , but to him, it was a daymare. Tadashi accompanied his little sister to the hospital while the school made a call to his aunt. She looked pale as a porcelain doll, even though she was breathing again. For the rest of the ride too and at the hospital, Tadashi had felt guilty for he couldn't help or even be there for his little sister over the past few days.
After an hour or two at the hospital, the doctor concluded that what had been happening to Hiro was caused by severe anxiety and that she would need alot of psychological therapy. Tadashi and his aunt were taken by surprise upon Hiro's diagnoses as they couldn't really label a cause for her condition and concluded that it possibly could've been linked to her parents' deaths.
Hiro began her treatment and it continued for the next three years with medication but it didn't help her mingle back into a classroom atmosphere for reasons unknown so she grew up being home schooled. She still had attacks but they weren't very very frequent and the attacks that would have sent her to hospital were rare.
Hiro had woken up in darkness. Her head throbbed as she tried to lift her self up just to take in her surroundings. She noticed the time glowing on a digital clock, which read 22:49. And just at the same time, a light began seeping in from a door, allowing her to make out where she was. She was in her room, which meant she was home. In some ways, she felt a little relieved as most of the time, whenever she had a bad attack, she would have woken up in a hospital room. More light filtered into the room and Hiro could see a silhouette standing in the middle of the door frame.
"Hiro?"
The lights then flicked on but the brightness made Hiro flinch right back to under the cover of her bed groaning.
"Hiro-chan, sweetie, you're awake! Oh god you scared me again today! Oh my god, I should've tried to stop you today!"
Hiro could feel herself being pulled into a tight muffling hug. She then peaked out from the covers responding with "I'm sorry, Aunt Cass".
Aunt Cass left then left the room, saying that she would be back in a jiffy and something along the lines of whipping up something for Hiro to eat. Hiro sank her back into the mattress and tried to recall what had happened only to bolt back up and scan the room moments later. Her aunt had returned with a tray of warm milk and pudding.
"What's the matter, sweetie? " her aunt asked as she set the tray on her bedside table.
"Where is Tadashi? " Hiro answered.
"Oh, he told me that he was going back to his lab but he did say he would be back before you awoke. He was pretty distressed when he returned home with you in his arms." Aunt Cass then proceeded to feed Hiro.
"I see..." was all Hiro said for the night as she stared down at the birdcage prints on her quilt whilst letting her aunt feed her.
The next morning, when Hiro awoke, she was suddenly tackle-hugged as she tried to crawl out of bed. "Gyahh...!"
Hiro then made eye contact with her tackler, her big brother. "Oh my god, HIRO-chan, your awake. I was sooo scared yesterday! Oh my god, Hiro" said Tadashi but in an exhausted tone. He then questioned Hiro as to why she was at his lab and how she even made it there.
Hiro was stunned at first but then when Tadashi began question her, she froze up and things from yesterday became clearer to her. Her brother then started to shake her and she snapped out of her trance. Her facial expression then changed from shock to that of hurt and she began to struggle out of her brother's grip, thrashing her arms about and kicking. Tadashi quickly let go of Hiro and stumbled back. He then looked back up to face her sister , who just sat there panting while she turned her head to face a different direction.
He was now pretty shocked. What had just happened? Somehow he now felt so confused as to why his beloved sister was acting in such a way. She had been pretty close to him and rarely snapped. For the first time in his life, Hiro had snapped at him.
"What wrong hir-..." Tadashi tried to ask but was cut off with a hurtful hurl of words.
"Go! Leave me alone, Tadashi! You don't need me anymore and nor do I!"
To be cont...
I felt like I'm now establishing something in this chapter. I thought I was still dragging the story and I that I'm trying to develop Hiro to be someone who isn't all delicate.
I can say that in the next chapter, the summary of this story will start kicking in.
An this is my first fanfic with a dragging out story line but gosh, all the ideas, easy to think up but wording it takes AGESSS but I'm motivated to write it because I enjoy it.
anywayyyy, I look forward to some good feedback or comments...not to boast. Feedbacks defs as I'm still tryin to establish a writing style
Thanks for reading ^^
