My breathe hitches and I forget how to breathe. I can already see the headlines forming 'heiress dies a shocking death from forgetting to breathe in the presence of a hot heir'......... yeah, that doesn't sound so good. He reaches his hand forward and brings his fingers to the front of my neck to grasp the other end of the necklace. The trail of his finger on my skin sets my body on fire and my breathing starts to become erratic. I think I hear him do a deep intake of breath but that could just be my imagination. This is pure torture.

However, my moment of courage collapses instantly when he catches me. He grabs me roughly and throws me across the room and I land hard near Louis's mutilated body. My chest immediately begins wheezing, my throat starts closing up. I can't breathe properly. I find myself desperately searching through my pockets for my asthma inhaler. Blaze walks over calmly, takes the medication from my fumbling hands, and holds it just out of my reach. "Do you need this?" he asks with a cruel expression. I can't speak. It feels as if there's a rope around my neck, squeezing tighter and tighter. I'm going to suffocate, and if I can't clear my airways soon, the little bit of air I still have in my lungs will

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.”

I release my hold on her before seeing that she's still breathing, only unconscious. I hear more snarls and see Theo and Banes mate still fighting. I see that Theo is limping while she's clutching her arm tigtly while they both circle each other. Theo jumps at her, shifting and getting a hold around her neck, suffocating her. She thrashes around, trying to breath but it doesn't help. Just as I'm about to go help Theo, I hear a scream I did not expect here. I turn around and see Bane standing there with a huge smirk on his face, while holding a knife to the persons neck.

I noticed her surprise, a hitch in her breath, and then she became completely still, seemingly holding her breath. Locked in her terrified gaze, I tightened my grip on her arms, and she gasped, shrinking back in fear. "I..." Rebecca sucked in a deep breath but was interrupted by coughing. Frantically, her hands flew to her neck, rubbing vigorously. "I... I can't... breathe..." It was clear she was experiencing a panic attack. I released my hold, allowing her to break free. She stumbled backward and hurriedly rushed past me.

“And you shouldn’t be out here alone.” The distance between them was less than ten feet now. And it showed. Elara’s lungs constricted, her breathing faltered, the ache building in her ribs. She staggered back, clutching her chest. Kael cursed, closing the space in two strides. He caught her by the shoulders, his touch sending a violent shiver through her. “Breathe,” he commanded, low and urgent. “Damn it, Elara, just breathe.” “I—I can’t when you—”

Brake screamed, playing an invisible guitar. “Alright?” he said whistling with his lips, while he danced with Brake. “Alright, I have been restless, hopeless, and confused. This girl that I told you about. Wasn’t the only one missing. My heart has been missing as well since yesterday.” He held his chest, wetting his lips. “Today came, the world seemed to get smaller, darker, I got more afraid not of what I am but of what I felt might have happened to her, I loosened my collar to take a breath because I was suffocating…” Brake's hand went to his chest pressing it a bit like he was trying to revive him, “…and my breath isn’t there anymore. My eyes fade and I see her. The image of perfection. H

She’s hurt, her pain mixed with my own. Ethan stands in the middle of the dance floor. All of a sudden it feels as if I’m holding my breath at the bottom of the tub. More and more water is filling up and as much as I want to take a breath I can’t. Despite all the warm bodies I’m cold. I open my mouth to take a breath and my throat constricts. The world spins and I try to steady myself. I’m scratching at my throat now. I can’t breathe.

He turned looking at the girl and he could hear her taking deep breaths. “Ohhh… oh… No I do not have my phone and I have severe claustrophobia. I think… I’m not able to breathe.” The girl took deep breaths patting her chest and Ethan instantly walked closer to the girl patting her back.

The water droplet fall on his smooth pale skin which glowed in dard as his long eyelashes stayed like bird's fathers. A little gasp left from her mouth as she realized her face was very close. She could feel his warm breaths on her skin, she immeditately yanked herself back a little while saying "y-yes?" Landon pressed himself closer to crystal.
