minor tw - flashbacks and panic attacks

we all finally got to Nathan's dressing room, everyone was still talking but me and nathan stayed silent. i was zoned out while he was getting the key for his room when i hear someone whisper by name over and over and tap me. i look back and it was lyon.
"Hey you okay?" he whispers, since vivi was still asleep in my arms. I was about to answer when nathan finally said something, it was small but it was something.
"Okay come on in"
He opens the door to reveal a really nice room with a king sized bed, a lounge couch, a small kitchen, and two doors one in assuming the bathroom and the other a closet. Everyone looks around amazed, sure me and yaya have auditioned and been in a few movies and shows and have gotten a lot of nice dressing rooms but this is amazing.
"welcome. you can place the child on the bed." Nathan said, his tone not changing at all. he sounded like a robot but i saw his eyes widen once he realized what he said.
"her names vivien, not 'tHe ChIlD'" i scoff and roll my eyes, pulling the sheets back on the bed, taking her shoes off and placing her in softly. she's still asleep which is good but i don't want her to wake up and get scared cause of her new surrounding so, i kick my shoes off leaving me in my socks and climb in next to her. The boys looked at me weird but YaYa and Akira knew why i was doing this. I'm surprised nathan doesn't remember.
<flashback>
"we must take her somewhere else, she's perfect"
"your right. you get her feet, i'll get her arms."
"what's going on?"
"who are you?!"
"LET ME GO"
<end of flashback>
"Faith, Faith are you okay?"
"Faith?"
"Faith!"
"FAITH!!"
i snap out of my flashback and look around of my surroundings. I must've forgotten where i was during the flash back cause i started having a slight panic attack. I was shaking so bad and could barely see or breathe. I got up and stumbled to the corner of the room and curled into a ball, my knees up to my eyes and my hands around my head. I heard vivien ask what's going on and Lyon took her to go get something from the vending machine down the hallway.
Akira and YaYa rushed over to me and i heard them saying something to Nathan, i immediately felt arms around me and could tell it was Akira and YaYa.
Akira pulls me closer to her and my legs and arms get moved. Someone sits against the wall and pulls me away from Akira, i look around and my vision starts getting better but i still could barely breathe. I see Akira and YaYa in front of me, If their in front of me and vivi and lyon are in the hallway then does that mean...i start panicking more and images flash in my head.
"Faith i need you to follow my breathing pattern, okay?" i hear nathan say from behind me. Before i could answer he pulls my head closer to his chest and i listen to his heart beat while following his breathing pattern. A few minutes later i'm better and can breathe and see clearly. I hug nathan and stand up.
"Where's the bathroom?" I ask, shakily.
He points to a door by the kitchen so i walk over to it. I grab my purse that was on the counter and take it into the bathroom with me.
I grab a makeup wipe and decide to wipe all my makeup off which wasn't a lot. just some mascara and eyeliner. But it was all over my face. I hear the door into the dressing room open and hear lyon ask if it was okay.
"Yeah shes in the bathroom" YaYa replies.
"Is faith okay?" I hear vivien ask quietly, i hear her small feet walk to YaYa.
"Yeah shes okay, let's get back into the bed okay? are you still tired?" Akira asks.
Before anyone could answer i walk out of the bathroom smiling for vivien, to not scare her anymore.
"Faith-y!!" she tells, running over to me and hugging my leg. I pick her up and hold her while hugging her.
"Hello beautiful!! Did Lyon take you to get a snack?" I ask, she nods her head yes.
We finally all sit on the couch, Vivien on my lap cuddled into my arms, Yaya on my left side and Akira on my right with the boys on another couch against the right wall. As soon as we all decide on finding dory, YaYa's phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Oh yeah we're at the dressing room numbered 1492"
"Okay."
"Yeah we met a few friends."
"Yeah Vivien and Akira are with us."
"Alright that sounds fun"
"Okay! Love you, bye"
We all look at YaYa confused
"It was our mom" she said gesturing to me.
"What was she saying?" I ask, pulling vivien closer to me since she was sliding down.
"She asked where we were and she told us that Akira and Vivien's parents are staying in the same hotel as us, so they asked if we all wanted to share a room." She said, smiling.
I nod my head and vivien immediately jerks up to that sentence.
"WE SHARE A ROOM?!" She asked excitedly. everyone laughed or giggiled at her excitement as YaYa nodded while laughing. Vivien jumped off my lap and did a small dance. This is when everyone laughed. Lyon grabbed the remote pausing the movie and grabbed his phone. He started playing music and danced with Vivien, her standing on his shoes and holding his hands. they danced around the room as if they were dancing at a ball. it was hilarious. Akira and YaYa got up and danced together, leaving me and nathan dying on the couch.
"Care to dance?" Nathan came and stood in front of me, holding his hand out.
"I'm not a good dancer" i get out past my giggles, turning red slightly. He smiles and says,"No worries, Stand on my feet. I'll help you" Before i could answer he pulls me up and my feet land on his. The height difference was immaculate. Me, being 14 and 4'10-4'11 and him being 14 and 5'3-5'5. I held onto his hands tight not wanting to fall and he laughs in response. Soon, we were all dancing around together. We were having so much fun we lost track of time. YaYa went to get a drink and saw the clock.
"OH SHOOT WE GOTTA GO!!" She yelled from the kitchen. Everyone stopped and Lyon stopped the music.
"What do you mean?" Akira and vivien ask at the same time.
"I forgot to tell you mom said we gotta be there by 9:45 and it's 10:00!" she said frantically. I just start dying laughing at her franticness and everyone looks at me like i'm crazy.
"NOT THE TIME!" Akira shouts and i stop immediately.
"RIFHT NOT THE TIME"
"What hotel are you guys at?" i hear nathan say. i realize i'm still standing on his shoes and holding his hands. I turn red and get off just not letting go of his right hand. He looked down and smiles slightly. Akira saw but didn't say anything.
"Well what hotel are you guys at?"
Lyon asked, looking at us.
"The one down the road, i think it's the one only people who audition for movies and famous people stay at." Yaya says, looking at her phone. I assume texting our mom.
"Same! me and nathan came together so we can all go there together since it's dark out. We can protect you" Lyon said, flexing his fake muscles.
"Okay well hurry up!" Akira said. I pick Vivien up, still holding nathan's hand. He grabs his stuff and the other three are looking at us.
"What?" Me and nathan said in sync.
"You look like a family" all three of them replied but at different times. Me and nathan looked at ourselves, eachother, our hands that were tangled together and me holding vivien. We laughed slightly.
"i guess we do look like a family" Nathan said.
"Well let's get going to that hotel. We should all hangout in the girls room though and finish our movie since we didn't get to earlier." Lyon said, opening the dressing room door and shutting the lights off.

this was a friend group that was bound to expand and thrive, but none of us knew that yet. We also didn't know that we all were about to get casted to a movie that would create good memories and some bad memories.
