"I love you. It's the truth. It's also true that… I'll lose you."
So, I've just watched the 6th episode of the new BBC Spin-off "Class" – Detained. It was awesome. But it left me with a few questions, which I'm going to try and answer in this fic. The biggest one, why is Charlie so afraid of confined spaces? – I Love Charlie and Matteusz, and their relationship as a whole, so this Fanfic will centre on them.
This first Chapter happens during the scene in the episode. The dialogue (and characters) belong to the BBC, but the inner most thoughts are mine. – also, I have added more description to try and emphasise the extent of Charlie's fear.
Charlie POV
I don't really know what's going on, I can't feel all this anger that's consuming them. All I can see is that we're are stuck in this room with no way out. Oh, God, there's no way out….
(moving away from the others, the room seems to spin, as Charlie reaches the door, and breathes heavily)
There's no way out. I can't be trapped again, I can't, I…. I can't breathe.
CHARLIE PANTS
Matteusz: "Hey?" Walks over to Charlie.
Oh God, it hurts. Why does it hurt? What hurts? Not again, I can't I can't I…
CHARLIE GROANS
Matteusz: "It's okay."
Matteusz reaches Charlie and places a hand on his shoulder.
Charlie: "My heart, it feels like I'm… (breathing heavily/Panting) I think I'm dying.
Matteusz: "No, I know, this… this is a panic attack."
Charlie: "What?"
Matteusz: "An attack of panic."
Charlie: "Oh."
If he knew why I was panicking, he'd be panicking to. I can't do it again, I can't be trapped again.
(Charlie continues panting)
Matteusz: "Sometimes, it feels like death, it's not." (Matteusz places his hands on to Charlie's face)
Matteusz's hands on my face make it easier to breathe somehow, although I don't understand why but I still can't escape, I'm is still trapped. Trapped by fear. By panic. By them.
Matteusz: "Look at me. Look at me. Breathe with me. (Matteusz and Charlie breathe together, the room seems to stop spinning) Good Job. I'm here."
Charlie: "I'm erm having real trouble being trapped in a confined space."
I can't tell them. not now. not here. Not yet. not while he's so afraid of me.
The next Chapter will begin after the episode.
Charlie: "I think we have some things to talk about."
Matteusz: "Yes. We do."
