Infatuation Of Darkness

"An anxiety attack?!" She shrieked. "Me?" She pointed to herself in all curiosity.

The doctor nodded. "You described your feelings before fainting as dizziness, nausea, having difficulty to breathe and for all in all losing control. So yes that can be termed as an anxiety attack. Now what matters the most is how do you want to proceed from here? If they are getting more frequent then I would suggest you look for the concerned doctor and have the proper medication."

Alexis had her mouth slightly open as she listened to the words of the doctor. She had no idea how she managed to have an anxiety attack. "I..uh.." she stammered looking for the words as the doctor seemed pretty firm in hearing her answer.

"This was her first time to have an anxiety attack." Angelo immediately came to her rescue looking directly at the doctor with a hard stare. "and as for the correct medication and procedure directed from here, we will decide what to do on our own. Thank you for your input." He nodded curtly, immediately dismissing the doctor who left without a say but seemed to be holding back.

As the doctor left Angelo took a seat beside her and sat on the bed, holding her hand in his. "What happened? I am going to be honest here, you scared me shitless."

Alexis had no answer. Having heard the news of suffering an anxiety attack had shocked her herself as it had been completely out of the blue. she had never had a panic attack or an anxiety attack no matter how stressful the situation might have been but to be honest, the situation of knowing that Jaden was alive was once again very stressful for her and maybe somewhere all the pressure that she had been feeling lately had caused more to it.

"I didn't know.." she shrugged. "Maybe it is because of the pressure that I have been feeling lately."

He frowned at that. What pressure? "What pressure?"

Flabbergasted at that, she stared at him. "Are you being serious right now?"

"Yes, I am." He answered earnestly.

"Angelo I am talking about the situations that I have been going through the past few days." She pointed out. "I am talking about everything that I have been through since we got married or much rather as I should say since I met you. I have not experienced a moment of peace in my life since then." She blurted out the truth without a care or thought.

Angelo looks shocked at outburst for a few seconds but then nodded and leaned back bed folding his arms across his chest. as Alexis stare at him she noticed how he appeared to be singing about what she said.

"What?" She numbed asked him in a low voice, scared of whatever he was thinking and how she was not able to know about any of it. She felt highly insecure. 

"Nothing," he sighed. "I was just thinking about how to make it up to you." upon seeing her shocked expression to his words he chuckled and then continued to talk. "I am sorry for not noticing it earlier but you did not ever let it be seen that everything was getting into you. I am sorry if I cannot be the husband that you want but I have a whole world out there that I have to take care of otherwise everything that I have to offer to you would crumble to the ground and I would be left with nothing." He held her cheeks and kissed her forehead. "It's just. I want you and I want this to work. For which..how do I do it..is the question.." he nodded.

She nodded along with me and then asked, "And you want....."

"Want your input-"

She shook her head, "It's not that,"

Pissed, he turned away for a few seconds and then said in a low voice. "Help. I need you to help as well. I want to fix it with something we both can give and take."

Hearing him make an effort always did lift her spirits in a positive direction. She smiled a little and then nodded her head. "I think a little vacation would be nice."

He nodded after her, understanding the words. "I get it. Away from everyone?"

"Yes." She huffed. "Definitely."

"And hot or cold?"

"Hmm.." They had gone to a hot destination for their wedding and Chicago was always wet, so maybe.

"Somewhere snowy." She grinned. "I want to see snow." That made him smile too.

"Ali-"

"There," the female doctor who had delivered the news of the anxiety attack entered the room but this time she was not alone.

She was here with two officers and one woman.

"What is it?" Alexis questioned from the bed, her once the happy mood was now gone as she heard the answer.

"These are officials against the abuse of a woman. Domestic and otherwise. I have called them for you."

Once more, just like before, a shell shocked Alexis pointed at herself, "For me?" She shrieked.

"Yes," the doctor firmly repeated. "I believe that this anxiety attack was triggered and that you might need help."

"I...Uh.." Her chest heaved as she tried to figure out the situation. "Yes, the attack was triggered but not because of what you think!"

The doctor shook her head. "No, I believe it was triggered. You have no idea how easily they can happen."

"I know! But whatever you are in insulating at did not happen and is not the reason for it." Alexis firmly stood her ground. She was not defending Angelo simply because Angelo was not a factor here, the truth about Jayden was responsible more than he ever was.

Angelo turned to the side a bit and said, "I believe that we have nothing to talk about. You have heard my wife, now please leave."

But the doctor shook her head stubbornly. "Well, we need to hear it from her."

"Well, if you would excuse us," the lady asked in a polite voice, "I think it would be better if us ladies could talk." She smiled.

Alexis wondered if this was a chance. Police were there and so was an official. Angelo could not possibly have that much of reach into the government and maybe this was an opportunity presented to her.

She turned towards her husband and met him eye to eye. Shrugging she said, "I don't think that they are going to leave if I don't.." She said with an innocent smile completely underestimating dept that of the situation and her husband's understanding.
