TW: panic attack

———

As soon as the show was done, the boys met us backstage. They ran around, three of them discarding of their shirts and changing into different ones.

   Harry came up to me with a red flannel in his hand and held it out for me to take while he unbuttoned the rest of his shirt. Before he took it off he kissed my lips, a smile on his face for the entire split second that it lasted.

   The boys were all instructed to go to the vehicle waiting for them at the back. Emma and I were dragged alone by them, running with them to the van that awaited to take them back to the hotel.

In the car, Harry didn't even let me sit down before he pulled me onto his lap.

"You know she's not going anywhere right?" Emma said from next to me.

"Why'd she have to come too? Couldn't she have gone with the other car that brought her here?" Harry groaned like a child while he kept his arms wrapped firmly around me.

"Listen, Styles. I will end you if you so much as-"

I cut Emma off, "Both of you behave."

"I swear they get along just fine one minute and hate each other the next." Niall draped an arm around Emma's shoulders while he was sitting next to her.

"She fucking woke me up this morning." Harry tried to defend himself.

"Did not." Emma denied.

   My eyes open and I'm met with Emma's face very close to mine. I furrow my brows and glance at my phone after I pick it up, seeing that it's five in the morning.

"Em, why are you in here? Why are even awake it's barely five."

   I'm laying on my side with Harry very close behind me, his arm across my body keeping me close while he sleeps.

"Move over." she speaks up.

"Wh-" I begin to say but she stops me.

"Just do it." she swooshes her hand in front of me to indicate for me to go over.

   I sigh and do what she wants, gently moving Harry's arm off of me and sliding my whole body over a little. Emma gets into bed and lays next to me, both of us facing each other.

"Okay, what's up?"  I keep my voice low to avoid waking Haz.

She sighs. "I can't get to sleep."

"You haven't slept yet?" I ask immediately.

"No."

"Why not? What's wrong?"
