Overload


The room is spinning.

My ears are ringing.

Air is coming too quickly but not quick enough.

My eyes feel as if they're glazed over.

With what? I don't know: fear? Anxiety?

Whatever it is . . . I'm going to be sick.

"I - I . . ." I stutter, holding my stomach.

Everyone is closing in.

For the first time in my life I'm feeling claustrophobic.

It's just . . . too much to process.

I can't.

I make a run for the door.

Kate, my cousin, is in her car digging through her glove box.

"Kate!"

She whips her head to the side, "Bella! I can't find your present!"

I can't fucking believe I'm saying this, "Forget the present! I need a ride!"

I throw myself in the passenger seat.

"As far away from here as possible."

"How about -"

"Yes!"


A/N: Ohhh where's she going to go?
