| Part Six Nick sat up with a start. He looked around the room. He swallowed hard trying to remember where he was. He felt something soft rubbing up on his leg. He looked down seeing a black cat. He let out a slow breath remembering he was at Greg's place. He ran his hand along the cats back. She purred loudly and jumped up on his lap. He scratched her under her chin. He ran his hand across his forehead and wiped off the sweat. He looked at the clock, it was 5:45. He pulled the cat up closer. She ran her head under his chin still purring. Nick looked around. Greg place was filled with lots of boxes and not much else. There was a TV, and play station and one other chair in the living room. "Your dad needs to unpack" Nick said softly. Midnight laid down making sure her head was by Nick's hand so he could still pet her. Nick sat and stared at the clock. 6:15. He needed to go to the restroom. He looked down the hallway seeing a door half way open. He guessed that was the restroom. "I don't think I can get up kitty" he said moving the cat. He noticed the bag of his things sitting on the floor next to the couch. He lifted it off the ground setting it next to him and removed a bottle of pills. His hands where shaking so bad he couldn't get the lid off. He tried again finally getting it open. He took out a few pills of Burspar and swallowed them down. "You can do this" he told himself feeling the need to go to the restroom getting worse. "It just down the hall, just down the hall" he said. The cat jumped up next to him. Nick closed his eyes and placed his legs on the floor. "You probably think I'm a weird human don't you kitty" Nick said placing his hands on his face. "It's just right there only like what 20 feet well, 40 feet for you kitty. It shouldn't be this hard. But it is." Nick closed his eyes again. He opened then and looked at the clock, 6:45. "Just get up and go" he said but his body didn't move at all. He rocked back and forth very slowly, but realized it only made him have to pee worse. "This is nuts" he said trying to lift himself up. His legs trembled as he stood up. He tried to get them too moved but they now felt like they each weighed 1000 pounds. The room started to spin. Nick lowered himself back to the couch as tears ran down his face. He put his hands over his face and curled up. He placed his hands on his ears and squeezed them together. "It just down the hall" he whispered. He felt the cat lying next to him. He opened his eyes. 7:15. "If I don't get up I'm going to piss all over his couch" he thought. He again sat up. He felt like he couldn't breathe. He tried to make himself take slow deep breaths. He again tried to stand. He pulled his shaking body up off the couch. He took a few steps keeping his left hand on the couch. His teeth where chattering now he was shacking so badly. He again lowered himself to the floor, his left hand still on the couch. He pulled his hand off the couch and wrapped it around his legs. Again the cat walked over to him. She ran her small body along his purring. "I know" Nick said. He laid his head on his knees taking deep breaths. "You can do this" he told himself over and over. He again looked up at the clock 7:34. He was now in pain from holding it so long. He slid his body forward. The cat looked at him as if saying "human walk on all fours" but Nick didn't care. He moved closer to the restroom. He moved faster now. He reached the door the cat following, still looking at him oddly. He pulled himself up and took a few weak steps to the toilet. He pulled his pants down and sat down. He closed his eyes as he went feeling much better. "Can't a guy pee in peace" he said felling the cat under his feet. He slowly lifted himself up and pulled his pants up. He took a few steps then leaned up against the hall. He slid down it and pulled his legs close to his chest. He knew it was pointless to try and move. He placed his hand on his ears and started rocking. He took everything he had to get in there. He reached for the cat and held her close to him, still rocking back and forth. He could hear her purring. Greg rolled over and looked at the clock 1:45. "Oh shit" he said sitting up. He got out of bed and walked into the living room. He looked around the room. "Nick" he called out. Nick lifted his head. "I'm in the restroom" he said. Greg walked to the door and picked in. "Are you ok" he asked seeing him on the floor. "I had to pee, but I couldn't leave the restroom." he said weakly. Greg sat down next to him. "Kinda boring in here" he said holding out his hand. Nick took it and Greg stood up. Nick pulled himself up and Greg led him to back into the living room. "You should have yelled, I would have gotten up" Greg said. Nick sat down on the couch and pulled his legs close to him. "You hungry" Greg asked. Nick nodded but didn't up. "I've got hmm what do I have" Greg said walking out of the room. He came back. "Hmm, nothing, I have no food in my place. I have to go to the store." he said. "I'll get us a pizza" he picked up the phone. "What kind do you like?" "Anything is fine" Nick said placing his hand on his ear. Greg ordered a pizza and sat down next to Nick. He took the remote in his hand and turned to the TV. "The Busch race is on" he said. Nick nodded. "You must think I'm pathetic" Nick said. "No, I don't, you have a phobia and it's something you can't control." Greg said. "I think you're a pretty cool guy." Nick looked at him then at the TV. Greg wanted to ask him so many things. Like what happened to him, who hurt him but figured Nick would tell him if he was ready. "Would it help if I gave you a tour around my place" Greg asked. "Maybe later" Nick said. He knew he was on the verge of a panic attack. He didn't want to have one in front of Greg. He picked up his bag and pulled out a bottle. "I think we can set your computer up right here. Its wireless right" Greg asked. Nick took out a pill and took it. "Yeah" he said. Greg stood up and got the computer. He grabbed a TV tray and took both things over to Nick. Nick put the bottle back in his bag. "I need a coffee table" Greg said setting up the tray and then sat the computer down on it. "Oh god, I was supposed to work last night" Nick said turning to the computer. "I'm sure they will understand" Greg said sitting next to him. "I'll just send them an email" Nick said. Greg nodded hoping that would help Nick relax. He guessed that he would fall asleep since he took one of his pills. He was right; Nick was sound asleep by the time the pizza showed up. Greg got himself a plate full of Pizza and sat down. "Midnight you're a traitor" he said seeing the cat curled up with Nick. He shook his head and turned to the TV. |
