Reading manga was my release from the world. I got so lost I didn't notice Mike's hand slowly inching toward my chair. I turned the page, processing the dialogue from the last page. A ghost of a smile graced my lips, as I read about the bond between the Fairy Tail guild members. The goosebumps making my arms extra sensitive to touch. I loved it! How they were family. I wish I had friends like that, or just someone, anyone.

Suddenly I felt myself falling, my butt hit the floor roughly. Laughter erupted throughout the room. Loud, ugly laughter bellowed from above me. I looked up to see Mike holding my chair. 

"Look at her! Oh man! That was the best thing I have seen all week!! The look on her face was priceless." I looked towards the ground, feeling the tears well up in my eyes. I grabbed my bag. Stuffing my manga into the bag. I ran, almost slipping on my own feet. This little mishap caused more laughter to ring through the room; sneaking it's way into the hallway. 

I slammed the door open, quickly running through the threshold. Tears were cascading down my checks. I was halfway down the hall when I felt the feeling form in the pit of my stomach. I hurried down the hall, turning the corner sharply. My lungs stopped working instantly. My heart beating so fast I thought it was going to beat right out of my chest. The tears stung my cheeks as I felt my body slowly running out of oxygen. I clenched the fabric of my shirt, directly where my heart was. Falling to my knees, I could feel my lungs constricting to the point where I couldn't breathe at all. 

I CAN'T BREATHE!!!
