The girl was still trying to control her gasping breath, with her whole body already covered with sweat dripping down. Although tired, there is no word to give up. Michelle stood up straight again, closed her eyes, clasped her hands, and put them in front of her chest. The shadow of a pair of pure white wings spread out from Michelle's back, stretching wide and enveloping her entire body.

Grounding. “Breathe,” he murmurs, low enough that only I can hear. “I’ve got you.” He leads me to the piano and settles onto the bench. I stand beside it, my fingers resting on the glossy black surface, trying to remember how to breathe. Knox adjusts the microphone stand so it’s positioned near me, then looks up expectantly. The room is silent. Waiting. I lean toward the microphone, and my voice comes out smaller than I’d like. “I, um.” I clear my throat. “I’m going to sing something. It’s called ‘If The World Was Ending.’ It’s a song about… about wondering if someone would choose you. If everything fell apart. If nothing else mattered.”

The world starts to darken, and everything is shivering… Suddenly, two warm arms wrap around me, and I feel a steady heartbeat next to mine. A gust of hot breath rushes at my ear, “Brooke, breathe. Come on, breathe with me. There's nothing to fear. Just inhale, and exhale. Do it with me, follow my rhythm. You can do this.”

Why is he here, where is little man? what's going on. I suddenly felt like a thousand hands were pressing down on my windpipe making it hard to breathe. Breathe Glamour, breathe. I kept chanting in my head till I was able to breathe again. I can't believe my eyes, maybe I'm beginning to see things because I'm traumatized.

She glanced at Bryan shyly with a red face. The reporters were thrilled and started flashing their light at her. Sherry cleared her throat, and opened her mouth. She started singing. Look into my eyes when I'm singing to you Take this love that I'm bringing to you Don't tell me all this got no meaning to you Take this love that I'm bringing to you (Oh no) 'Cause I need you to feel my love in your soul I need you to feel my touch on your body I need you to feel my love in your Soul

“I-Is it really over?” Then, I saw a note on the backseat. Breathe. You’ll be all right. I’ll see you soon. – Karlie “It’s all right,” a woman’s voice said. “No one can hear you in here.” The sob that escaped me rattled through my whole body. Memories flashed through my mind. I could barely breathe around them. “Hey,” the woman said again. I couldn’t even look up. My vision was spiraling and shaking. “Keep breathing. That’s it. Keep breathing. Slow. Follow me… In… Out… In… Out…”

I can’t understand and she's getting further away. “Hey. HEY! Breathe Midge, you have to get control, now!” I feel a grip on my shoulders, they are strong and demanding, but they don’t hurt me. “Take a deep breath and open your eyes.” The deep, gruff voice is softer now with a hint of concern. “What was that Midge?”

Oh yes, it was going to be so good between us. ***** NOTE: SOUNDTRACK for the next couple chapters is Breathe by Kansh

The images cling to the corners of my vision refusing to fade. The air feels thick, pressing down on me, choking me as if it wasn’t quite real, hands trembling uncontrollably. “Breathe Tish, inhale, hold exhale.” I hear Kim’s gentle voice guiding me. My breaths come shallow, jagged at first, like I am learning to breathe again slowly. I loosen my grip on the mattress, willing my pulse to slow down. Eyes closed, I breathe in the faint scent of rain filtering through the small cracked window, mixing with the stale air of the room. “Breathe in and out.”

"You can't kill me. You can't kill me." "I'm not gonna die. I'm not gonna die." Breathe in one two three four five Breathe out one two three four five Breathe in one two three four five Breathe out one two three four five Breathe in one two three four five Breathe out one two three four five
