⚠: panic attack

Jax closed the staff restroom door, walking straight to the sink.

"Damn it..." He muttered, taking a deep, shaky breath to try and calm himself down. He turned it on, splashing the cold water on his burning face.

"Why is this happening to me?" He whispered to himself. "I feel hot... God, I don't feel good..."

Feeling like the air was getting harder to breathe, the purple rabbit grabbed the front of his work uniform. His heart started pounding in his chest, and he started sweating. His breathing was getting heavier.

"No... No..!"

He was momentarily broken out of his daze by a knock on the door. You walked in, seeing him gripping the sink like a vice. He looked up at you, before saying roughly.

"What do you want?"

"Are you ok-?" You barely finished when he spoke again.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just, uh... My stomach hurts. Might be in here for a while, so go away." Jax snapped.

You listened, knowing he might need a minute to himself. Once you left, he slumped against the wall, letting out small, pained, whiny sobs. He clutched his chest tighter, not knowing what was happening. Death wasn't possible in the Digital Circus except for abstraction, so that wasn't the issue.

"No no no, NO..!" He mumbled through tears. "Get it together, Jax!" He started hitting himself on the arms, trying to snap himself out of it. "No... Please no..." He didn't even know what he was talking about.

"No, I don't want this I don't wanna... Am I having a heart attack?" He started to shake, his body trying to snap itself out of whatever was happening. The purple rabbit had never felt like this before.

"Why can't I breathe..?" He whimpered. He tried to take a deep breath, but it was shaky, choppy and shallow. "Why am I sweating so much..?!" He let out more quiet sobs, muffled by his arms.

"My chest hurts..." He complained. "F##k!" He let out a censored curse.

You went to go check on Jax since you hadn't seen him for a while. As soon as you stepped through the door, his head snapped up. His breathing hitched from the unexpected entrance.

"What are you doing here? I said leave me alone!" He snapped. You approached him, gently rubbing his arm. "Why are you touching me?! I told you to screw off!" He snapped again. You backed off, going to leave.

"Nonononono, wait wait wait!" Jax's panicked voice made you stop. You looked back, seeing his rarely vulnerable state.

"P-please just... Don't leave me alone... I-I'll do anything..." He pleaded softly.
