the guys are about to go on stage. i look out into the crowd and see the thousands of people. i feel my anxiety start to creep up.

i walk past ashton with a worried look on my face. "hey, what's wrong?" he asks while grabbing my shoulder. "i-i just need kylie or luke." i say while he pulls me into a hug.

"what's wrong lex? you can tell me." he says as i nuzzle myself deeper into his arms. "it's my anxiety. there's a lot of people here and being in a big crowd kinda freaks me out." i say.

he rubs the back of my head and i hear footsteps behind us. "wh-" the voice says. it's luke.

i feel ashtons arms lift off me and i go into luke's chest. i take a deep breath and luke's scent fills my nostrils.

i exhale shakily. "what happened babe?" he asks. babe? he just called me babe. "it's my anxiety." i say shamefully.

i hate my anxiety, it limits me so much. my life is pretty much full of worry. i've had it since i was young. now that i'm 23, it's a little better but still sneaks up on me once in a while.

"don't be ashamed of it babe. we all get it, but please have fun tonight." he says and pulls away from the hug to look me in the eye.

"for me." he adds then swiftly kisses me passionately.
