All Chapters of Tangled In Blue: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

BLUE'S POVNo matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake it off.The sudden onset of intense anxiety, characterized by feelings of intense fear and apprehension and accompanied by palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, and trembling.That's exactly how wiki explained it and that's exactly how I feel.The panic attacks kept coming-harder and stronger than before. I tried breathing technics my therapist had taught me but it was a futile effort. I even tried making out with Levi as a distraction but it seemed to worsen the situation.He tried all he could to make me calm down but seeing his naked chest just fueled the trauma. I pushed him away and burst into hysterical tears. He didn't know what to do and my heart went out to him as I fought back the feelings of delirium that were bubbling to the surface again."You can't see me like this...Just go!" I cried out before leaped off the bed, dashed into the bathroom, slamming

CORBYN'S POVIt's game night at Justin's place tonight and I can't wait. I could really need a distraction and possibly glean some advice from my boys. I have zero experience with girls and they...well, let's just say they're well versed with the female mind and anatomy too.My parents were still on the cruise and they decided to extend it to six months, the reason being they found some project or other to work on and decided to mix business and pleasure. I missed them and the house felt so empty without them. Although they were both surgeons and we hardly saw each other anyway-just knowing they were there was comforting.I parked my car behind Torren's and made my way to the front door. Justin had left it open and I could hear their loud voices as they argued about who had tapped more chicks than everyone else in our crew. Obviously not me..."CC!" Justin sauntered down the hallway and gave me a bone-crushing hug like we hadn't seen each

CORBYN'S POVI snuck out of Blue's room, not wanting to wake her because she was sleeping so soundly. I crept down the hall, past AJ's room when his door suddenly swung open."You're not leaving already are you?" As he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes with his small fists, I realized how accusatory the question sounded.I paused and walked him back into his room in case we caused a disturbance. His oversized cotton pajama pants dragged on the carpet as we went over to sit on his bed."I have a few things I need to do today little guy. I was going to come back." He climbed onto my lap and I took his soft little hand in mine. "Promise.""Patty isn't her, she's gone to Kansas to see her sick grandmother," he told me. "Can you please make me breakfast? I only want waffles and bacon and maybe a glass of apple juice." Big blue eyes earnestly appealed to me. How could I even say no when he was looking at me like that?"Sure small m

CORBYN’S POVI had never experienced heartbreak from a girl before.This was all new to me. I didn’t know how to handle it.Now I knew there was a reason I didn’t want to fall in love. Love sucks.I drove home in a daze and parked the car in the driveway and rested my head against the steering wheel, the pain making my veins swell.I stalled because I didn’t want to go into an empty house, it would just make me more depressed. And I couldn’t call my friends-I wasn’t ready for an I told-you-so-speech. So I decided to take a walk to the Golden Gate Bridge to try and clear my head.It was unusually quiet so I got the solitude that I craved. A breeze picked up at the shoreline, wrinkling the water as the waves slowly rolled toward me in silver lines. After I waded in the water, trying to literally drown my sorrows-I pulled myself out of the water, my clothes clinging to my body. I rested back

BLUE’S POVIt was time to clean up my act.I messed up. I admit it. I own it.So I did what I should have done before-I stopped licking my wounds and reclaimed my life.I dyed my hair back to its original glossy raven shade. I kind of missed it. I loved my clothes so I wasn’t giving that up for anything.I lost my son, my dignity, my sense of reason and I also lost the only person that helped me keep my sanity. I lost my best friend. Actually, I lost all my friends. Terrel was mad at me for what I did to Corbyn and for keeping secrets from her. Not that I could blame her-I was a lousy friend and an even lousier mother.I got AJ on weekends and although it wasn’t enough, it was a start. I would accept whatever crumbs were thrown my way right now.I had started to focus on school and tried to get my grades up. I know I wanted to be a star but I didn’t want to be one of those shallow musicians. I
