As Peggy's breathing got more and more rapid, she became aware of someone at her side, some speaking to her.

"Hey, relax okay? Listen to me. Are you listening? Clear your thoughts, empty your mind. Don't think about anything but to relax," a boy's voice spoke and she felt someone take her hand. "Look me in the eyes and say after me, 'I am fine'. Once again, 'I am fine'..." Under normal circumstances, Peggy would have been squeamish about someone getting too close too close to her, but considering her current state, she instead looked at the boy and focussed on what he was saying. 

Peggy tried to empty her mind. "I am fine..." Peggy muttered breathlessly. "I am fine, I am fine. I am fine." She continued repeating this phrase for a minute or so, not sure if it was helping or not. 

A second boy walked over and pulled out a chair for her. "Here girl," he said. "Sit on this chair and just take it easy." Peggy nodded gratefully to him and sat herself down, putting her knees up on the chair and hugging them tight against her chest. After a moment, she started breathing more calmly, though she still looked pretty pale and her head was feeling light.

At one point, Melody patted her on the shoulder. “Things’ll be okay, Peggy!” she told her. “Abigail means well! We’ll give you some space, now!” Wait... so... Melody had heard Abigail's comment? Peggy hadn't imagined that?

...

Well, now she felt stupid. And a little annoyed. She just had a panic attack for seemingly no reason.

"Urgh..." Peggy buried her face in her knees. Now she's embarrassed herself. No one was going to want to travel with her after that little episode, would they? They'd think she was just a burden and would ditch her the first chance they got.

Great start, Peggy. Great start.

Peggy sat there for a minute, just wallowing in self-pity. She perked up a little when Melody came back from picking up some supplies from the table and said that she hoped Peggy would get better soon, but Peggy still felt terrible.

The day just seemed to slowly be getting worse and worse.
