It's hard to deal with this right now!

What am I supposed to say?! The words I have in mind just lock themselves away.

Words fail me in so many ways.

What if my voice cracks?

What if I become weird all of a sudden?

What if I get a panic attack?!

So many questions boggled my mind.

The ticks and tocks of the clock bothered me.

The constant sound that my shoes make while I take a step wasn't helping either.

Every nerve in my body felt weak, as if I was about to collapse any second now.

I was getting impatient.

I heard the door open up.

I calmed down once I saw him.
