Her heart thudded painfully in her chest for a moment as Ele's mind flashed with images of arms holding her tightly, squeezing her until she couldn't breathe, and lifting her off the ground. The young woman froze for a moment, her eyes wide with the flashback until she was able to pull herself back into the present. There were no arms around her, no one squeezing her, Ele was standing on her own two feet and they were still in the waterpark.
Inhaling deeply, Ele's vision cleared and she managed a shaky smile at Tyler as she shook her head,
"No thanks, I've got it."
She said simply before she turned away from him and hurried into the locker room. Once there, Ele sat on one of the benches, her stomach in knots as she fought to keep from vomiting. Breathing in through her nose and out through her mouth, Ele put her head between her legs and concentrated on her breathing.
