Helanie:
In the last ten minutes of him receiving the news of the hurricane and how he had to take shelter in the pack until midnight, Emmet had shown extreme anxiety. He had his fist under his chin, and his eyes were fixed. His breathing was erratic though.
"Did you have to do something after getting home?" I asked after I couldn't just sit and watch him get all anxious and irritated.
"No—yeah! I have to do—umm—I have to—I have to be somewhere," he was sweating and stuttering hard. I noticed how he was squeezing his fist tightly and would release his fingers before doing it again.
"Emmet—what is happening? It's okay, you can ask your brothers to fill in for you," I suggested in a mild and comforting tone to help him feel better.
"Brothers, yes! Let me call Norman," he said, and I realized he had been so anxious that he hadn't even called his brother.
