Panic Attack

My heart started beating faster as what she said sank in. Panic attacks aren't dangerous if they don't last too long but Bella's built this up for years.

"Okay class. You are dismissed for the lesson. Leave the desks where they are. I'll see you all tomorrow."

I calmly walked out the door, but ran down the hall to the next door. I flung the door open to see a crowd of students standing around the corner of the room.

When they saw me they moved out of the way revealing Bella curled up in a ball shaking. I ran to her and wrapped my arms around her. She was pulling her hair, shaking her head back and forth.

"Edward what's wrong with Bella?"

"She's having a panic attack. She'll be alright. Just give her some space. Claustrophobia can occur during a panic attack."

The class stood around looking at us anxiously. I looked down at Bella's shaking body as she started mumbling.

"Come back. Edward come back. Don't leave me. Please don't leave me. I love you. Come back."

"Bella. I'm here. Calm down. I'm here. I love you baby, you need to calm down."

Her breathing became erratic as her head whipped around her eyes wide with panic. Tears ran down her cheeks as she scanned the room. She was whimpering desperately causing her breaths to become even more uneven.

"Bella listen, I'm here and I'm not leaving. Look at me. Please look at me baby. I'm right here. Remember what I said last night. I'm not going anywhere ever again."

"What is going on in here?"

I looked up to see the principal surveying the classroom with Jasper and Emmett behind him. When they saw us Jasper pushed past Principal Greene, and ran over to us. Emmett looked at us worriedly before attempting to usher the class to the back of the room. They were stubborn and refused to move.

"If you don't move now you will all have three months detention with me after school every day. No lines, just running. I expect thirty laps every day from each and every one of you."

That got everyone moving but Emmett's raised voice startled Bella badly. She started screaming loudly. I pulled her to me closer as Jasper checked her pulse so she wouldn't over work her heart. His expression told me all I needed to know in that minute. Her heart rate was too high. If she didn't calm down she could cause herself some serious harm.

"I'll call 911."

I nodded my thanks at him

"Bella calm down. Please. Please baby calm down. I just got you back. Remember the 12th of March 2005. Remember what we said we'd do? We were going to buy a house together, have a beautiful wedding on a warm summers evening. We'd have two amazing children one boy and one girl. We were going to spend forever together. We still can baby. Don't take yourself away from me."

She nuzzled her head into my chest her breathing not changing in the slightest. I could hear the sirens of the ambulance growing louder and louder.

"Please baby. Calm down. Just breath and everything will be fine. Please."

The sirens stopped but the lights could be seen against the walls. Principal Greene had left with Jasper to meet the paramedics. Bella's breaths became long and hard as she fought the lack of oxygen entering her lungs.

"Baby please. Help is coming just hang in there."

"Ed-ward."

Her voice was breezy as she struggled with the little oxygen she had.

"Love you."

She took one last deep breath before becoming silent. I looked down at her still form in my arms. Her pale skin looked even paler than usual.

"Bella. Bella."

I tapped the side of her face trying to wake her up. Tears ran down my face as held her limp form in my arms. I could feel the blood freeze under her white skin.

"Bella wake up. Please wake up."

I started giving her CPR but my sobs made it less effective. There was so much noise, that it was giving me a massive headache. The door flew open revealing Jasper who was talking to Carlisle behind him. When they saw me on the floor with Bella in my arms they froze.

"Help me please. Dad please, I can't lose her."

Jasper ran to us as Carlisle started talking into a walky talky quickly. Jasper's fingers went to Bella's neck checking for a pulse. A big breath came from his mouth as his face relaxed slightly.

"Carlisle she has a pulse. It's weak but it's there. We need to help her as quick as possible."

"Edward bring Bella to the ambulance. Ride with her and tell them that I said you have to stay with her. I'll be right behind you."

I picked my beautiful Bella up in my arms, cradling her to my chest. Her head hung limply over my arm.

"Emmett can you get Bella's bag and my bag from my room. I'll see you guys later."

"Edward don't worry about your things, just look after Bella for us."

I carried Bella out of the noisy classroom into the quiet hall. Carlisle stayed behind probably to find out what happened. The minute I walked into the parking lot the whole school, that had gathered to find out what was happening, turned to look at me. Some gasps could be heard throughout the crowd as their eyes landed on Bella's body.

I couldn't care less for what they were saying as I strode to the ambulance. Before I got there I saw Charlie standing at the back of the ambulance. He looked up as I approached and his jaw drooped. He broke into a slow run and met me half way to the ambulance.

"Edward what happened? Is Bella okay? Are you alright? Edward tell me what happened."

"She nearly died."

"What?"

"She nearly died Charlie."

"Why?"

His voice wavered as he looked down at Bella.

"She had a panic attack."

"Look after her for me Edward. She's my baby girl."

"I will Charlie. She's my life."

He ran to his police cruiser and fired up the lights and siren. Without questions, I climbed into the back of the ambulance holding Bella to me. The doors slammed shut and we pulled out of the school parking lot.
