(BIANCA'S POV)
He just said my name.
How… how did he…
No, no, no, no. This isn't possible.
This can't be happening.
My heart is beating so hard and fast I feel as if I might faint.
My body feels cold and hot at the same time.
My hands start trembling so badly I have to curl them into fists just to keep them steady.
The air feels too thin. My lungs struggle to pull in oxygen like they've forgotten how.
I take one slow step back, Xavier takes one forward.
The bathroom suddenly feels too small, and the space between us shrinks inch by inch until my back hits something solid and cold.
The wall.
I've trapped myself.
My instincts scream at me to move.
Run.
Fight.
Do something.
But my body won't listen.
It's like I'm locked inside myself, watching this happen from somewhere far away.
Have you ever been so afraid that you can't even move? So terrified that your muscles just shut down? If you have, then you know exactly what this feels like.
It's not weakness.
