TW: iv, sedatives. Panic

“Will your scars ever disappear?”

Mia asked innocently.

I flinched.

Kile spoke immediately,

“Evangeline, please.” He nodded his hesd to whiever spoke. But I barely heard anything. It wws as thiught a cloud entered in my ears.

“Mia. We do not ask those questions.” Evangeline scolded.

I felt Kile take my plate off my lap. My breathing became short quickly, my hand shaking above my arm. “Cora. Breathe. - NURSE!” I began seeing my vision waver, my hand over my heart. Shaking.

I heard the name, Maven. In question form. Directed to me. I think. Am i thinking? I nodded. Slightly.

Stop. Theyll think your crazy.

Youve only had meltdowns like this privately.

Stop.

Youre embarrassing Kile.

My eyes widened at the voice in my head. Finally my eyes cleared and I called out for Kile. I was in my room, still panicking. I felt something in my hand. IV.

What?

Am i dying?

Im dying.

The worlds endin-

“Cora! Look at me.”

I looked up at him.

This is it.

Im gone.

Why isnt he worrie-

“Hey. Im right here. Nothing bad will happen while im here. Shh” he took my hand in his.

I nodded. Slowly.

I felt fluids run through me. I felt loopy and tired.

I began to worry again.

“Hey, hey. Ill be right here when you wake up. Its ok. Maven will be too. Just sleep.” Kile assured.

I fell into sleep.

My body was already tired.

But i didnt feel right to fall asleep.

What felt like eternities later. I woke up.

I looked around my eyes still adjusting.

“Kile?” I croaked.

I jerked my head toward movement and saw Kile moving towards me.

“Kile” I whispered. My voice shaking.

He put his arms around me. “Hey, Cora.” I started to shake in his arms.

“Im sorry. I didnt mean to break like that- i, i was -“

“Cora. Its ok. Youre okay. Breathe.”

I did and he kissed my head.

“I hadnt had melt-meltdown like that in ages. It-…it freaked me out. Oh gods, is Mia okay?”

“Of course. You just had a meltdown and your worried about others.” He shook his head laughing.

“What time is it?” I blushed.

“9pm.”

“Cora?” I heard Maven call rushing through the door. “Cora.” He breathed.

Kile moved quickly out the way so Maven could hug me.
