| We pulled up to my house and I went around to her door, opening it for her. "Here we are." | |

| I didn't say anything as I stepped out of the car and let him shut the door behind me. | |

| "I'll show you around the house and then we can have dinner if you'd like." | |

| "That's fine," I said, not wanting to argue with anything he said. I didn't know what kind of man he was and didn't want to make him angry. | |

| I led her into the house and closed the door behind us. When I turned to her she was visibly shaking "Hey, it's alright. Do you need to sit down for awhile?" | |

| I shook my head, forcing my eyes to stay on his. "No. I'm fine," I said softly, though I clearly wasn't and he knew it. I felt faint, suddenly overwhelmed by this whole situation, the gravity of it. | |

| She swayed on her feet and I caught her room with my hand gently. "I can carry you to bed and bring you something to eat. You aren't well and you need rest." I told her softly and she wouldn't even look at me. It took me a moment to realize she was actually afraid of me. "Darlene, please look at me." | |

| I turned my head and looked into his eyes again, my body shaking so hard I thought my teeth would chatter together. I felt dizzy, and I couldn't seem to catch my breath. Was this what a panic attack felt like? | |

| "Just breathe and calm down. I'm not going to hut you, I swear." | |

| I nodded a little but didn't really believe him. What if he was just telling me what I wanted to hear. I couldn't even think right now and I needed air in a bad way... "I can't... I can't breathe," I whispered. | |

| "Alright, I'm going to take you to lie down. I won't hurt you, please don't fight me." I said calmly and then picked her up in my arms, taking her up the stairs and into my room. I laid her down carefully in the bed and then sat next to her. "Breathe in your nose, I'll count to five and then breathe out of your nose. Okay?" | |

| I nodded a little and did what he said. I did it a few times before it was finally easier to breathe, though my chest still hurt a little. | |

| "Just keep doing that until you're completely calm and focus on one object." | |

| I focused on a painting across the room, breathing in through my nose then out through my mouth, until the dizziness subsided too. | |

| "How do you feel now?" I asked, moving a lock of hair out of her face. | |

| I flinched away from his touch and he moved his hand away. "Better," I whispered, staring up at him from where I lay on the bed. | |

| "It's nice to meet you too." I smiled and noticed her shaking was settling. "I'm not going to hurt you Darlene you can stop worrying about that." | |

| "When reading through the files I found yours to be the most intriguing." And heartbreaking. | |

| "How so?" I whispered, feeling my body relax a little more. If he was going to hurt me, he would've done it by now. He wouldn't have gone to the trouble of calming me down. It wouldn't have mattered to him. I couldn't have said I felt safe, but I didn't exactly feel in danger either. | |
