AJR- Little Sister

Chapter 37-

As the tour went on and came to a close, everyone could tell Lilly was having more fun than usual. No one could figure out if it was the fact that her parents were for sure out of the picture or if it was the fact that nothing too triggering had happened. Until of course, today. Today was about a week until the last day of tour. Everything so far had gone great. They all woke up in their hotel rooms near the venue, (with zero nightmares, might I add) and headed over to a radio lounge to do a little show. With it being one of the last few, and with Lilly finding a love at seeing her brothers perform in smaller settings, everyone got to come along.
As the brothers were playing through one of their songs, Jack messes up the lyrics. Everyone laughs, but Jack seemed off. He plays it off and says he's fine, until they get to the venue. They all filter into the dressing room as the crew continues setting up the stage. Jack just seems like he's zoned out and on edge from the radio performance. As if something bad was going to happen to him. Alba and Lilly both take note of it, but despite them all showing concern, Jack waves it off and acts like he's fine.

"Hey guys, wanna come grab some food with us?" Cat asks everyone in the room as her and Ryan are standing near the door holding hands.

"Yeah sure!" Alba replies.

"I'll come!" Adam stands up and joins them near the door.

"I'm good." Jack answers.

"You sure Jack?" Alba questions. He nods.

"Lilly?" Ryan offers.

"No thank you!" Lilly smiles. "I already had some snacks."

"Ok. We'll be back." The 4 of them leave the dressing room and head over to the green room. Lilly was playing on Ryan's computer, experimenting with some music stuff. Jack sits down on the couch, at first just looking on his phone. A few moments later, Lilly gets startled by a yell.

"No!!" Jack yells. Jack never yells. Lilly turns to Jack to see his breathing is just gasps of air.

"Jack?" Lilly asks sheepishly. Jack looks up at Lilly, and the look in his eyes makes Lilly want to cry. Lilly immediately stands up and walks over to him. She's being very careful so she doesn't startle him.

"W-what's wrong?" Lilly stutters out as her nerves start to get the best of her.

"N-no-nothing!" Jack wheezes.

"Jack?" Lilly's voice had such a longing and emotion in it, she knew Jack was lying. She crawls up beside him on the couch, wrapping an arm around his back. As Lilly notices Jack's breathing speeding up, she gets more worried.

"Jack, please start breathing again.." Lilly mumbles. Jack doesn't respond to Lilly, instead getting worse, covering his face with his hands.

"P-please breathe.." Jack gets even worse and Lilly has to try to figure out what to do to help him.

"I-I'm gonna go get some help!" Lilly decides, standing up and running to get the others. She dodges about 10 people in the hallway in the little length of time it took for her to get to the green room. She bursts in and finds the group of them, telling them,

"Jack isn't breathing!" Her voice was frantic and fast, it was hard for the others to understand.

"What do you mean Lil?" Ryan asks.

"J-Jack isn't breathing, he... he's..." Lilly can't find the words.

"Slow down Lil." Ryan slows her down, crouching to be on her level. "Take a breath."

"N-no he... he's-"

"Is he having a panic attack?" Adam asks calmly. Lilly nods frantically, still trying to get the information across. Alba immediately bolts out of the room, Adam, Cat and Ryan staying in the green room. As Lilly realizes no one else is moving to help Jack, she turns around frantically, asking,
