Samantha was crying the time she met me on the floor unable to do anything because I felt like I was being choked by something I could barely see.

"Just take me to my room, please I'll direct you", I managed to say and she carried my in her arms and headed towards the door.

Immediately she opened it, Aaron was standing there.

"What happened to her?", he asked asked seemed like he was panicking.

"I don't know, she just fucken called me that she needs help, I'm supposed to be asking you that! if anything happens to my best friend I swear to God it won't be funny ", she said pissed.

She and Aaron managed to get me upstairs and dropped me on my bed.

"Breathe Lexy, breathe. Take a deep breath in, release it, in , out, in out, in out ", she said placing her hands on my shoulder.

"Fuck this is bad, I'm going to call Amber", Aaron said standing up.

"No", I managed to choke out.

"I'm sorry Lexy, but he needs to see this ", he said and left the room.

Sam grabbed a towel and ran to the bathroom and came back in quickly with a bowl filled with water and she placed it on my head, trying to calm me down.

.I was still panting, and I was scared that it was taking longer than usual because my panic attacks don't usually last more than 10 minutes and this was heading to an hour now.

I started hearing voices approaching the door and then The boys walked in and I was still shaking, hugging my body and breathing terribly fast.

"What happened?", I heard sincere concern in Amber's voice.

"Are you asking me? Lexy has never had a panic attack in almost 7 years now, what happened! what triggered it?!!, what exactly have you guys done to her", Sam asked almost crying.

I sat up on my bed and hugged my knees and buried my head into my knees trying to think of all the tactics my therapist taught me.

Then I felt Someone sink into the bed and I felt these warm arms around me.

"Lexy", his deep British accent came out in a scared whispered.

He's scared that something will happen to me?

Well I did warn him earlier so don't blame me if anything happens now.

"Just listen me okay, now do exactly what I say. I take a deep breath in and hold it longer than ten seconds then release it, now clear your mind completely and think of any good memory at all, something to keep you distracted", he said...

I tried brainstorming any happy moment in my life and the only thing I could think about was college and how fun and interesting it was and how it didn't remind me if my miserable life now.

Then my mind slowly drifted to those years my mother and sister was still alive, and how peaceful my life was.

That was long before I started getting locked behind bars for protection, remembering all those happy times I spent running round the house playing hide and seek with my family,far before my entire world was shattered.

Slowly, my heart beat start going back to normal and I started breathing fine.

After about 5 Minutes, I lifted my heads up and stared at their worried faces.

The only face that I felt sincere worry for was Samantha who just flew out of her house a mile ago to come to mine just to save me.

Then I realized a protective warm arm around my shoulder.

I couldn't even look him in the eyes.

I got up from my bed and went straight to the bathroom without saying any word and splashed water on my face.

My feet were still a bit jelly so I relaxed on the sink.

I breathed out exhausted thinking about walking into that room again, seeing their faces.

I don't want to talk to anyone right now, just Sam, the rest should please go to hell and fuck the devil for all I care.

I touched the door knob and heard them talking.

"What happened to her?", Amber asked.

"I'm supposed to be asking you that, they put you in charge of her to protect her and she gets a panic attack for the first time in almost 8 years?", Sam shrieked.

I heard Amber sigh.

"How do you usually calm her down when that happens?", he asked.

"I don't know, she just usually cry till everything is over, but she hasn't cried in years and she refused to cry now so I don't know", she said.

"And how did you know what to do?", she asked.

"Well.....my mother use to have them", he said coldly.

I opened the bathroom door again and all their eyes were on me.

"I want to be alone with her , please", I said calmly.

"And please do not protest, I'm sincerely not in a mood for a fight", I added immediately.

They exchanged glances and walked out, shutting the door behind.

I sighed and held my head and staggered to the bed.

"Oh my God Lexy what happened? what did they do to you?, why is there blood on your wrist, is this a glass scratch, what happened?", she bombarded me with questions.

I looked at my wrist and noticed only now that I was bleeding A little, probably after their lunatic father shot the bottles behind me.

"It's a long story Sam", I said staring at the ceiling.

"What happened? please tell me I'm worried, I literally flew down here like Zombie was chasing me ", she said.

That was when I slowly began to narrate exactly what happened in details to her.

She screamed when I was done.

"First of all, he's insane, he's an insane lunatic, Who the Fuck made the rule that you're married to him, you're married to Amber so he has no right or whatsoever against you", Sam was a lawyer so she knew all these stuffs at the back of her palm.

"And for your so called husband, he's crazy. I know Mafia kings or whatever they call themselves to be overprotective about their girlfriends not even to talk about their wives whether they like them or not, so for him to actually stand there and allow his father see you stripe, he must be crazy to the bones, God I feel so bad for you Lexy, I didn't know things were this bad , I swear I didn't.

I just thought it's just normal stuffs, this is first hand psychopath syndrome, and he needs to see a psychiatrist!", she yelled pacing around my room.

"It's okay Sam, I'm just glad you're here ", I said weakly.

She came to the bed and hugged me.

"The securities didn't even let me in, they said they'll have to confirm it first from Amber and I gave him a piece of my mind yelling at him that my best friend is dying in there, then I destroyed his balls so that he may never have children again then I came in", she said smiling.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"God Sam, where did you come from", I said chuckling, suddenly feeling better

"What? they were stopping me from saving you since Amber couldn't save you ", she said with a shrug.

"But leave the bitchy attitude aside, fuck he's so handsome I swear to God ", she said sounding like a highschool teenager Sharing gossip to her Best friend.

"I mean I thought it was the other guy we met at the door, he's also freaking handsome honestly at first I was like drooling inside, but then it occurred to me that you were in my hands about to pass out probably, so I was snap out Sam, and then I actually met him and like OMG he's so freaking handsome but crazy ", she shrieked.

I giggled, "The other guy you met is his brother Aaron" ,I said.

"I would have asked you if he was single but...naa I'm good, I'm definitely not gonna have anything to do with gangsters and Mafias", she said disappointed.

I smiled, "It's okay, I'm just glad you're here ", I said relaxing on her shoulder and hoping I would fall asleep.
