128: Social Anxiety

Idea from Gummybear1178

The noise is overwhelming as you grip Sebastian's hand a little tighter.

There are people everywhere, and your anxiety is not helping you at all.

"You good?" Seb asks.

You don't answer. He knows you're nervous, but you're the one who wanted to come with him.

"I've got a panel with Mackie. It should last about an hour..."

"I'm gonna go walk around and look at everything.." you say.

"Be careful.."

You find yourself wandering around, not knowing where to go. There are so many people. You can't get around easily, and you're being pushed around. Not on purpose, of course. People have places to go too.

You feel your heart start beating faster and faster. Your lungs feel like they're going to pop out of your chest like that one scene in Alien.

You can't see straight. All the people walking around you are falling into a blur.

You push through people, trying to find an empty spot. You see the bathrooms out of the corner of your eye, and run towards them.

The stall door locks with a click. You fall back onto the toilet seat, breathing heavily. Breath in through your nose, out through your mouth. In through your nose, out through your mouth.

You sit in the bathroom for what feels like hours. You still feel like you can't breathe.

There's a sudden knock on the stall door.

"Are you okay?"

You breathe out shakily. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.."

You stand up and unlock the stall. You open the door to see a teenage girl.

"Sebastian asked me to come in here to talk to you... Which was weird, but he looked worried."

You smile. "Thanks, I guess."

The two of you laugh before exiting the bathroom together.

Sebastian immediately wraps his arms around you. "I shouldn't have let you go alone.. I didn't think."

"It's fine, Seba. I'm good, just had to stop for a while.."

"Do you want to go with me? I'll help you this time.."

This was terrible
