Chapter Eight- VIC'S P.O.V-
"Helena... Just calm down! Breathe in slowly and breathe out! Close your eyes..." I said in her ear soothingly, trying to calm her. "Breathe in... Breathe out... Come on Helena please be alright..."
I knew straight away she was having an anxiety attack, it was easy for me to tell anyway, my little brother Mike used to always have them when we were younger.
*FLASHBACK*
Our parents had gone out for the night so me and Mike were home alone. I can't remember what exactly happened but he started having a really bad anxiety attack and I had no idea what to do I was so scared. I remember that I used to sing to Mike for him to fall asleep as it used to calm him down. So I sang to him and he quickly calmed down, this is how I decided to be in a band.
*End of flashback*
"H-Helena, Im going to sing to you, it used to calm down my brother when he used to have anxiety attacks." I told Helena. She looked up into my eyes at attempted to smile.
I cleared my throat,
"Like a rush shot through you
Everyone is watching you
Told you why I see no need for the sun
(I've found a reason to say)
A love you light is a love soon gone
If this is it
Don't bother cause this love is a lie
I'm a chemical kid
You're a mechanical bride
(When every vein is red out of the blue)
I held a diamond to the sun
To count the moments on account of the way you
Smile, smile for me
(Oh, we're in slow motion when you)
Smile, smile for me
But, oh my God, I've been looking
But I still hold your breath so you won't leave
Pastel-red and porn star-white
Ghost on the altar
We breathe, don't leave
Say that the night sings alone
And if there's a God
Then I'm letting Him go
All for you, you alone
Raise my hands
At the thought of you leaving me alone
What if I... what if I...
What if I, I still care?
Don't torture me or beg me
Can you make me believe in tiring?
As you fall fast asleep, it reminds me
Of the slow symphonies behind me
(They sing along)
All the nightmares you'll see tomorrow
All the stars on your ceiling
They glow but not for you
Through the trees, I'll blow..." I sighed at the end and opened my eyes, Helena wasn't on the floor anymore but stood up smiling like crazy.
"That was beautiful!" She gasped and gave a hug.
I blushed, "Thanks..." I laughed.
By now the fire alarm had gone off but the room started to feel exceptionally warmer. I started to take off my jacket but then thought different the put it back on as Helena gave me a questioning look, I shrugged in response.
"So how're we supposed to get out?" I said.
"I dunno..." She sighed biting her lip. "Maybe we could open a window and shout for help?"
"I guess we'll have to try..." I sighed as I walked to the windows and opened them. "Although there's nobody outside..."
The air was getting even warmer and I started to sweat, I walked to the wall and placed the back of my hand on the wall. The heat on the wall burned my hand "Ouch!" I gasped, "We better be quick the fire is in the next room!"
She screamed and picked up the fire extinguisher.
*CRASH!*
