Different Indifferents

 Everything was finally getting on track or so I thought. It was my first final exam and I was freaking out. Although Diego noticed it that I was nervous, but I just shrugged it off saying it was not something to worry about ( I told Diego about my condition before ). I was on my way to school with Brian and he could also sense that something was off. The moment we saw the school, I started hyperventilating and I knew I was having another attack. Brian knew how to calm me down. He wrapped his arms around me and started making circles on my back telling me to take deep breaths and close my eyes. He told me to fill up my mind with all the happy moments. I did the same and after a few more minutes my breathing was back to normal and by that time Paige also reached there and she understood the whole situation. We did our exams and it was great, so were the exams afterwards.  We were in the school celebrating the last day of school life or you can say a farewell. I got the news tha...

 I never knew that she had gone through that much. But now that she told me, I knew that we were best buddies because we understood each other more than anyone else did as we went through the same. I think I found a friend whom I could rely on without thinking twice. That night, she slept over at my house and we talked whole night. We opened ourselves completely and we ended up deciding that I was going to see a psychatrist and would tell Diego when the time comes. The next day, we went to school together only to see a worried looking Brian waiting for us. We did not tell him the truth yet and told him that it was nothing but a slight panic disorder.

I still had sessions with the psychologist although they had been reduced a lot. Around 3 months after that...

 I have people to care for in this world and there are people in this world too who take care of me.  I looked at Paige, she was looking at me. I gave her my biggest smile and nodded, I don't know how many times. We talked for a while about random things while enjoying the night view. And now we were on our way back to home. I decided to break the silence, " Paige, you know why was I afraid to tell anyone?" She looked at me to continue. " I thought you would judge me if I showed you my dark side. I was afraid that you would not treat me the same. I thought you either hate me or pity me and I didn't want any of that. During this last month, I even had thoughts of ending myself but then came the face of Diego in front of me. I didn't want him to suffer through this alone and I wanted to see him happy. I wanted to make him happy so I backed off".  I completed and looked at Paige waiting for her response. She didn't look at me and replied while walking a...
