~ Excerpt ~
As
the hours fly by, I drive closer to my doom. I begin to notice a weight in my
body as if I’m being pulled towards my fate. My throat starts to constrict and
it’s becoming hard to breath, I’m struggling for each ragged breath. Sweat
beings to appear on my forehead and I have to pull over and loosen my tie. What
the hell is wrong with me? My palms are sweating, and my heart races with loud,
strong beats. The road in front of me becomes blurry, making it hard to keep my
eyes open. What’s…going on with me?
Picking
up my cell, I fumble with the phone until I find Doc’s number and click on it.
She answers on the second ring. Forcing the words out of me…“Doc, something’s
wrong with me. I…didn’t know who else to call. Please help me.”
“Where
are you?”
Breathless,
I answer, “I’m on the side of the road about four hours into my trip.” It’s
becoming very difficult to answer her. I feel like I’m going to pass out.
“What
trip? Where are you going?”
I
grip my chest, trying to stop the pain. “You told me to look her up.”
“What
are you talking about?”
Slightly
frustrated at this point I force the words out. “My mother’s friend.”
“Oh. I didn’t mean you had to
visit her just yet. Can you try to explain what’s going on?”
I
describe my symptoms, and she explains that it’s just a panic attack. That
everything is going to be fine. The trip has brought back so many memories. She
tells me to close my eyes and find my happy place. So I do as instructed, and I
find Anaya’s beautiful face. “Now take some long, slow breaths and tell me what
you see.”
“Anaya
and her golden brown eyes. Her beautiful chocolate brown hair. That sassy smirk
on her face as she gazes helplessly in my eyes.”
“Perfect.
What are you feeling now?”
“Peace.”
“Good,
now how about your other symptoms?”
“I’m
starting to cool down and my breathing is returning to normal. My chest is
loosening up too.”
“That’s
great. You had your first panic attack. It’s probably brought on by the fact
that you’re pushing yourself too fast. You needed time to warm up to the idea
of going back home. But now that you’ve set yourself on this path, you need to
face it. How long until you’re home?”
I shudder at the word home. “I
should be there in about six hours or so.”
