Tommy knows it's normal to be beat.
Tommy thinks it's normal.
But there's still something in his gut telling him to run.
To run, and run, and run.
All the way to California apparently.
With tears streaming down his face, he stops walking along the sidewalk and starts running.
Forget about grabbing something to eat at McDonald's, he'll get something at the airport.
!TW ENDS HERE!
———————————
He's been at the airport for 2 hours.
He still hasn't grabbed something to eat.
Sighing, Tommy gets up from his seat, and goes over to order some food at the Nando's stand outside.
———————————
It's been 1 hour. There's 20 minutes for boarding.
His tongue is still burning, thanks to the spicy Perry-Perry salt he put on his chips.
He was about to start walking towards his plane when he tripped into an anxiety-filled rabbit hole.
(A/N Not literally)
!TW STARTS HERE!
His breathing quickened, and before he knew it he was having a panic attack in the middle of an airport.
No-one seemed to notice.
Then, a young woman saw him. Finally.
She rushed over to help the poor boy on his knees.
"Hey, bud. It's gonna be alright, okay?" The nice woman spoke.
"I'm Clarissa, what's your name?"
Her voice was calm and sweet.
It was comforting.
Tommy felt safe.
"T-Tom*hiccup*-my"
"Tommy? What a wonderful name."
"Tommy, can you name 5 things you can see please?"
Tommy pointed out 5 things he could see.
"Great job, now, what's 4 things you can hear?
Tommy waited a few seconds, before replying with an answer chocked through sobs
"Your doing really good Tommy, what's 3 things you can feel?"
Tommy told Clarissa 3 things he could feel.
"I'm really proud of you Tommy, your doing amazing. What's 2 things you can smell?"
Tommy replied in between hiccups and sniffles.
Tommy's breathing was slowing down now, his panic attack coming to an end.
"Alright Tommy, 1 more. What's one thing that you can taste?"
"Uh, saliva?" Was his response.
Clarissa giggled, "Good job Tommy. You did really good"
Tommy hadn't even realised that he had completely calmed down now.
"I- uh- thank you, for helping me.."
"No problem! Mind telling me why you were panicking?"
Tommy knew he couldn't tell her that he ran away.
She'd send him back.
Tommy doesn't want to back.
"Um, I was going to visit a friend.. and started to get nervous about leaving I guess..."
Tommy hoped that was a believable lie.
"Ohh, I see. Homesickness."
"Do you have a photo of your house or parents/guardians?"
"Um yeah, in my bag" Tommy continued to lie.
"Well if you start to feel homesick again just bring that out and it could help!"
The announcements went off, declaring there was only 1 minute of boarding left for flight 22673 to California.
"Hope your not on flight 22673, otherwise you'll have to run"
Uh-oh.
Tommy is on flight 22673.
"Shoot! I am on that flight! Thank you so much again, really."
"It's no problem" Clarissa smiled sweetly.
As they parted ways, Clarissa couldn't help but smile to herself.
What a nice boy... she thought.
———————————
Tommy just made it.
But what was he going to do once he landed?
Tommy honestly had no idea.
He figured it'd be better to take his mind of it by going to sleep for a while.
Maybe when he woke up he'd have an idea on what to do.
