Panic Attack

Present

It is already dawn and the clouds are gloomy and heavy with rain, I still have no destination in mind, my family isn't in New York so I have nowhere to go, I contemplate on calling Madison but I know she's going to choke me with loads of questions which I am not ready to answer. I want to clear my head and forget about that cheating bastard, I feel like this is a dream, Jax and I were like the perfect couple, we barely fought, the only time we fight is when we are picking a movie for a movie marathon or when we have to wrestle each for the left side of the bed which was a total cheat because he is way stronger than me.

Those memories bring a smile to my face, sometimes life just decides to throw shit at you when you aren't even ready.

Me:

Life: Just take this, I don't care if you are ready or not.

Me: what the hell, totally unfair

I still love Jax, hell I don't know if I will be able to stop, I barely have any friends and he's the only one I depend on apart from Madison, he was like my shield, I still don't believe that happened, I guess I have to get used to it and I don't think I am ever going to trust a guy, who needs a boy anyway?.

I decide to lodge in a hotel with the little money I have with me till I solve my apartment issue and get all my stuff from our- "his" apartment including my car.

Oh God, how was I dumb enough to forget my precious baby at his place. I am definitely picking that up tomorrow even though I would have to face the bitch.

There's a hotel on the second street from here which would take about ten minutes if I decide to walk, and five minutes if I decide on picking a car, so I decide on walking which wouldn't cost me extra money.

I clear any thought about Jax and focus on the situation at hand, besides I am pretty sure he is locked up in his room with that bitchy little high-class whore, going on at it again and again.

I feel a drop of water on my forehead, I look up towards the skies and immediately the clouds start spitting out their beads of water as puddles start plinking due to the sudden and really heavy rainfall.

What the actual fuck?!, Why today of all days when I have practically nowhere to go.

Water blurs my vision which prevents me from seeing the road clearly, My feet suddenly feel wet, and I look down to see that l stepped in a puddle of water and that my shoes are totally drenched, and the worst part of the whole situation is that I forgot to take a coat.

I know it's risky but I have no choice so I run as fast as I can to the nearest hotel.

I run blindly through the streets, in order to get to the hotel. I could barely see a thing. I hear a car approaching and use the sleeves of my shirt to wipe the water in my eyes to get a hold of my bearings, just to find out that I'm in the middle of the road, and in the path of the approaching car with its bright headlight headed towards me at full speed.

For some reason I stay frozen to the ground unable to move my limbs, I watch the car screech to a sudden halt as it almost touches my legs.

I go straight into panic still unable to move, I guess it is due to the fright of almost getting hit.

My throat begins to tighten and the rain isn't helping the situation at all. I am trembling and shaking still unable to move my body.

I watch as a man in a blue coat gets out of a black Lamborghini, he approached me with a look of fear all over his face, I immediately recognize him as the billionaire I met earlier today.

"Fuck, I am sorry I didn't see you there, are you OK?" he says with a shaky voice.

I am still shaking and frozen to the spot unable to utter a word. My vision starts to get blurry and I can't seem to understand whatever it is he is saying.

So this is what a panic attack feels like.

I begin to lose my balance as I fall into the hands of someone, the last thing I see before everything goes black are beautiful amber orbs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up with a heavy headache, I try to get up but I feel a sharp pain in my chest and abdomen which makes me fall back to the bed, I groan due to the pain.

"What happened yesterday night and why am I in this room?", I thought to myself.

I gasp as what happened yesterday begins to flood in. Jax cheated, I stormed out of the apartment, I was drenched in the rain and I almost got hit by Mr. Arrogant which lead to a panic attack.

I realize I am no longer in my drenched outfit but in a cute pink pajamas. I sure hope he didn't change my outfit last night.

So he saved me, at least he isn't completely heartless.

My eyes roam around my surroundings, I'm in a pretty fancy room with different decorations all over the beige walls there's a huge chandelier hanging over the ceiling. The room is bigger than Jax's apartment and squeaky clean.

I could stay here forever but I really have to leave before Mr moody shows up.

I am struggling to get up when the door cracks open revealing the beautiful man in all his glory, with his trademark emotionless face.

I sit up straight as I try to hide my face with my hair which is stupid because he can still see me. I muster enough courage and look up to him with a big grin on my face.

I stand up and walk up to him, almost tripping in the process typical me. His hair is a beautiful mess probably due to brushing his hand through it severally, his eyes are the most beautiful things I have ever seen, I can feel the pounding of my heart in my throat as I try to speak.

"Thanks, um sir, for yesterday, I would be taking my leave".

I begin to head out but suddenly remember I am still in the pajama he gave me. I quickly turn to him. " Can I have my clothes back, I can't wear this out". I state with my voice a bit shaky. Dammit, this man is intimidating.

He turns to the closet and grabs neatly folded and clean clothes, he hands it to me and I immediately recognize it as mine. He stretches his hand out to hand it over but I can't help but stare at how defined his biceps are, he clears his throat and I blush deep red as I collect my clothes.

A question suddenly pops into my head and I decide to blurt it out. "Di-did you change me out of my clothes yesterday"?.

He looks at me in amusement and smirks. "What if I did?".

I look at him with my mouth hung open, I suddenly become shy due to the fact that he had seen me naked.

"Woah calm your tits woman, I didn't change your outfit, my maid did, I'm a billionaire remember?".

"Right, like you would miss a chance to see me naked." God did I just say that out loud?.

He scoffs. "I have got loads of women who I can see naked if I want to any day, so don't act all special, besides, you aren't even my type".

I roll my eyes. "Jeez I forgot how rude you are, and you aren't even my type too so whatever".

His eyes widen a fraction as he looks at me.

I shrug and smirk. "Not every woman wants to get in your pants sir, so suck it up. I mentally pat myself on the back, well done Sis.

He blushes in embarrassment and begins to head out of the room,"Get changed immediately and leave".He states stiffly and slams the door.

I chuckle, rude much? He's such a baby.

I really want to brush my teeth but I have no toothbrush. I put on my outfit and walk to the bathroom to wash my face, I stare at myself in the mirror for a minute and notice how messed up I am, jeez I could run away from myself.

My mind wanders to Jax and what he might be doing at the moment, I shake my head to clear any thoughts of him, I should forget him.

I quickly check my appearance in the mirror to make sure that nothing is amiss. When I am satisfied with my appearance, I walk out of the room.

No matter how irritating Mr. Moody is, I still have to offer my thanks.

I walked around the penthouse looking for him, I rounded a corner and almost bump into someone, who I realized was the housemaid.

I sigh in relief, "Good morning, please have you seen Mr. Henderson", I ask her. "Yes, but he left for work a few minutes ago".

I sigh in both relief and disappointment, since I don't have to deal with his grumpy attitude, and also I want to thank him so badly for showing concern. Most people would have "hit and run". Well at least I tried, and besides, I've got to pick my baby and grab a few things from the apartment Jax and I "shared".

I take a cab to our place and pray with all my heart that he isn't at home.

I get to our apartment a few minutes later, I give the grumpy driver a 20 as I get out of the cab.

I stand at the curb in front of what I used to call our home as I gaze up at it with tears brimming in my eyes, old memories begin to flood in which brings a smile to my face.

I realize how dumb I might be looking right now and wipe my tears immediately to prevent anyone from seeing me. He isn't worth my tears.

I creep slowly towards the door and search for the key under the flower pot, where we usually kept it. Thankfully it is there which means he isn't at home.

Unlocking, the door, I tiptoe slowly to our room to grab important things.

The apartment looks like there was a huge storm in it, leftover pizza boxes have been spread everywhere, plates have been piled up and left unwashed, and there are white substances on the floor. Ew, I wonder what he does in here.

Memories of the other night flashes across my mind, I shake my head to wipe the memory away and to prevent another round of tears.

I walk up to the bedroom still inspecting the mess in the house which I can't stand since am a bit of an OCD person.

I throw open the door as a wave of heat washes over me, I walk further into the room to see how messed up it is which leaves me disgusted.

I pack everything I would need, a few clothes, money, and other things, and not to forget my car keys. The rest I could come for it later, but now I need breathing space.

I cross-check to make sure I am missing nothing, I hear little sounds as I push the bedroom door with so much force and sprint out like a madwoman almost tripping in the process.

Christ! I thought he isn't home!.

I get to the door and throw it open without sparing a second to close it, I run to my car with enough speed, I fumble with the keys as I try to open the car. Dammit.

I finally open it and throw my stuff in the back seat. I open the door to the driver's seat and hop in, I start the engine as I speed away as fast as I can, away from his retreating figure.

Thank God I was fast enough because I am not ready to face the bastard and I don't know if I will ever be.

  • Loving A Billionaire    Drowning my sorrows

    The drive to the restaurant was short, I pulled up in the parking lot but stayed seated in my car. I realized I was wearing yesterday's clothes, but I shrugged the thought off since I had no other choice. I took out my makeup bag and put on a bit of makeup to cover up the dark circles forming under my puffy eyes.My head was throbbing and I had bloodshot eyes. Even though I could have taken a day off from work, I didn't. I had practically nowhere to stay, and renting an apartment in New York was quite expensive, so I decided it would be great to come to work today to tell Madison my house situation. I scanned myself in the mirror for the last time and got out of my car. The restaurant door was pulled open suddenly and out came a thin and lanky boy, he brushed past me with so much force and almost knocked me off balance. "What the hell?! " I shouted as the boy walked away.Way to start my day. I took in a deep breath and trudged into the restaurant. The place wasn't as crowded a

  • Loving A Billionaire    Amber eyes

    I have never been to a club before. Yh, shocking right? I never really loved or cared to meet new people, I loved staying indoors, listening to music, watching Netflix, and completing my assignments, I was sort of a nerd but I didn't care. Meeting people was too much work for me, I can't handle people and I tend to be awkward when having a conversation with someone both online and in reality.I felt the queasiness in the pit of my stomach when we got to the club, I wanted to go home and curl up in my bed but I had no choice, I was already here. We greeted the middle-aged bouncer who just couldn't keep his eyes off me, his eyes darted towards my chest, it felt like he was undressing me with his eyes with how he was staring at me. Ew. I looked away immediately not wanting to meet his gaze, We showed him our IDs and he nodded his head and ushered us in. I walked as fast as I could, thanking God I was finally away from the creepy bald bouncer. Wonder why they're all bald. I was engulfe

  • Loving A Billionaire    My saviour

    I feel like shit. I had been throwing up for the past five minutes, my stomach felt empty but I couldn't seem to stop throwing up. Liam and I had been having so much fun for the past 3hours, we were dancing when I had the urge to throw up. Now here I am. The alcohol is slowly fading out of my system but I am still a little tipsy. Nausea clawed at my throat, I tried to force down the bile but I was too late, I lurched forward yet again and threw up the content of my now empty stomach. I really hated the aftermath of drinking alcohol. I splashed cold water on my face, and rinsed my mouth, drowsiness was finally creeping up on me, I wiped my face with the back of my hand and trudged out of the bathroom. I needed fresh air. The club was now very clustered and suffocating, I staggered my way past a bunch of drunk and sweaty teenagers and spotted a door, probably leading to the back. I wonder where Madison is. I forced my way past drunken people making out, almost reaching the do

  • Loving A Billionaire    Unexpected information and usual habits

    I cracked my eyes open and was almost blinded by the light rays streaming from the bay window, I instantly squeezed my eyes shut, feeling like my eyes had been pierced with several pins.I slowly opened my eyes again, finally adjusting to the brightness. I winced when a stabbing pain struck my head, I massaged my aching head soothingly trying to somehow reduce the pain. I silently thanked God when I recognized my surroundings as Madison's guest room which was now my room. Thank God Liam brought me home, I have to thank him for this later. My head felt like a cement block as I struggled to get out of bed, I gave up on trying as I groaned and fell back to the bed. My whole body felt like I'd been run over by a bus. Hungover is a bitch. I shakily reached for the water and Tylenol on the bedside stand, I swallowed the medicine and gulped down the rest of the water to assuage my thirst. My eyes fluttered close as some of yesterday's memories took over my mind, they weren't matching

    "My oh my, look who we have here," he said coyly, his brown eyes darker than usual, he sized me up, his eyes lingering a little bit too long on my chest. I almost slapped my head in annoyance as I recalled that in my hurry, I didn't close my first two buttons, I shivered in disgust as he eyed me over like a piece of meat. I hurriedly buttoned my shirt as he turned to Madison and said gruffly "Don't you have somewhere to be, or do you think this restaurant pays lazy workers" "I'm very sorry sir", she replied her voice not sounding anything like apologetic, making him aware that she wasn't sorry at all."Leave and meet me in my office later", he sneered clearly annoyed at her dauntless attitude.As Madison walked away she threw me an apologetic look yet again over her shoulder.I sighed dejectedly, her apology couldn't do much.Mr. Dominic strolled towards me, not missing how his eyes glinted with mischief with a perverted look on his face. I would slap this bitch if he lays his hand

  • Loving A Billionaire    Deja Vu

    There are some moments when you wish you could just disappear or the ground could just split into two and swallow you up. Yep, Mr. Dominic's sudden appearances have me wishing that every single time. His evil stare causes my feet to wobble slightly, I tighten my hold on my bag and gulp as he approaches me with his trademark sly smirk etched on his lips, for some unknown reason my legs are glued to the ground as my eyes stay fixed on him. When he is already a few inches from invading my personal space he stops in his tracks and smiles widely as if he just found what he had been looking for so long. His creepy smile causes my heartbeat to pick up. He has been searching for every opportunity to have me alone and now he has it, I can't begin to imagine how happy he might be feeling right now.I wonder Liam is. The silence is so loud now, I take a few steps back and break the silence with my voice surprisingly and stupidly coming out squeaky. "I'm done throwing out the trash" I don'

    I sigh in relief grateful for leaving that place, I turn to Liam, his face is straight and hard as he drives, he looks as if he is in really deep thoughts and suddenly realization hits me.Liam could be sacked from his job and it will be totally my fault. I caused this, I brought this upon him and there's no way I can payback."I am sorry"Liam turns to me briefly with a confused look."What for?" "Don't you realize you will definitely lose your job tomorrow, and it's all my fault, you shouldn't have saved me, I was doing well on my own you should have left Liam, you shouldn't have to save me every time" I rant gripping my bag tightly. He chuckles and I gape at him, why is he chuckling when he is already a jobless man?."Look Brianna the restaurant isn't my source of living OK?, I have enough money to last me a lifetime so you don't need to worry about me OK?" He says coolly as he drives My eyes go wide as I look at him "Then why were you working there richie?""Well, I was because

I asked my personal assistant and close friend, "Yes...I think I do" Marcel responded, as he titled his head to side, he was wondering why I was asking him about her."Haa Marcel, she has been on my mind throughout yesterday, I think I made a wrong decision firing her, I promise that girl was really pissing me off, and the most annoying part is that her hazel eyes are imprinted vividly in my mind and I can't get them out" I let out as I relaxed my back on the sun lounger. I heard Marcel gasp and I quickly looked up at him in curiosity, he had his hand over his mouth and his eyes were wide open as he stared down at me, I furrowed my eyebrows "What is going through that head of yours Marcel" I asked him in utmost curiosity "You like her!" Marcel exclaimed in a squeal like voice, he was now beaming and smiling ear to earI gritted my teeth at the words that came out of his mouth, and shot

    I broke out into a cold sweat at the words that came out of Mr Billionaire's mouth "Wait, what?" I shrieked in disbelief "Yo-you want me to leave?" I stuttered, looking at him with wide eyes, I felt my heart shatter into tiny million pieces, Heinrich had his head buried into a paperwork as he cautiously went through the write ups, he broke the news to me nonchalantly as if it was the most easiest thing to do in the world"You heard me loud and clear" he slowly let out as he jotted something down "and I don't need to repeat myself" he continued, placing the pen down and looking straight at me emotionlessly"But why?" I desperately asked, my eyebrows raised expectantly. I at least needed to know why he wanted me gone when I hadn't offended him in anyway, well, maybe I did a couple of times but those were not valid reasons to dismiss me from my only source of living!"You talk too much" He plainly said in reply to my questionMy mouth was open in disbelief "But....""Miss Brianna as you

  • Loving A Billionaire    Shocking news!

    It seemed as though every staff in the restaurant had paused whatever they were doing just to stare like how Madison and I were staring. It was Heinrich, he was back again and this time it didn't look like he was here to order anything. His facial expression was stern as his eyes scanned the restaurant, he then turned to what looked like his bodyguards and said a few inaudible words before turning to look at us, this time, his gaze was fixed on us the employees, we had somehow gathered after he had arrived. "Madison, can you like not move?" I asked as I tried to hide my face behind her. She was a bit taller than me so I had no problem hiding my face except for the fact that she wouldn't stay still."Why don't you want him to see you, he probably doesn't remember you" Madison replied in a bored tone, her gaze still on the men"Oh trust me, he does remember me, so can you please stay still?" I desperately asked, peeking over her shoulder to see if he was looking in our direction."Girl

    "I am going to kill him the next time we meet," I said with rage as I bit aggressively on my drumstick. It's not like it's going to be a very easy thing to do but I could try.Madison turned to give me a dry look before focusing her attention back on the television. Ever since Liam and I got home, Madison hadn't uttered a single word or even asked us how diner went, all she did was sneak glances and throw me her occasional eye rolls, she has never been this moody all the while I have known her. I guess her break up with stupid Simon is taking a huge toll on her. An exasperated sigh escaped my throat as I determinedly stood up and walked towards Madison whose attention was taken by the Mexican movie playing on the television."So are you gonna keep on giving us the silent treatment or what?" I asked with my arms folded across my chest, I positioned myself right in front of her so that she couldn't even steal a glance at the movie playing, I knew what Madison could do when she was an

    I didn't care about the fact that I was in the male's toilet, not about the fact that I was seated on the bacteria-infested floor, and not even about the fact that I just had a very bad and embarrassing meeting with the devil's spawn, as I gazed up at him I felt like all the air had suddenly left my lungs, I felt like all the blood had been drained from my face, to sum it all up I looked like a statue who had her mouth agape, eyes bulged in shock, and who's heart was pounding like never before. "You're going to start drooling at this rate" he stated as he looked down at me with a smirk.I blinked and shut my mouth, quickly standing up I dusted my dress, trying not to make eye contact."So we meet again" I heard him say. Finally mustering up enough courage I slowly looked up, he stood there with both his hands shoved into his pocket as he looked down at me, the smirk I saw earlier had vanished, his angel-like face was stern, he looked somewhat intimidating.

I wished I wasn't in this position this moment, the smell of her perfume and her too long red painted artificial nails irritated me to the point of insanity, but I had to do this, just to win the damn contract with her father."Isn't this restaurant so beautiful" she said, her bright red lipstick coated lips stretching into a too huge smile which almost looked fake as she batted her eyelashes."Yeah right, I booked it specially for you" I replied as I tried hard enough to hide the irritation in my voice. She twisted her head to the side as she looked at me with raised eyebrows. Shit, she has finally noticed my irritation."Ah I can see you aren't really comfortable here, want to go somewhere else?" Her supposedly sweet smile appeared again as she outstretched her hands towards mine, her fingers grazing mine repeatedly, she bit her lips seductively as she sized me up. I locked my jaws a

    Tension filled the house as Madison, Liam and I stood awkwardly in our respective positions still trying to process what had just happened.I turned to look at Liam who immediately diverted his gaze downwards as he bit his lips. Madison on the other hand was as red as a tomato with her hands balled into fists, she was obviously still trying to bottle up her anger towards Simon, which led to my conclusion that the two rabbits were actually dating. Well, I guess not anymore now. I looked back and forth between the two statue-like figures and shrugged, I suppose they aren't ready to move or talk like normal humans. I walked out of the living room and headed directly towards the kitchen in hopes of finding anything I could nibble on, My heart grew as I found a piece of toast on a plate on top of the counter, I rushed towards it in excitement and almost grabbed it but was rudely interrupted by Madison.
