Hey guys! I'm sorry for not updating in a while, the holidays were incredibly stressful and disappointing. But I really hope that you guys had an amazing holiday season^.^ Anyway, it's kind of weird writing this story now because my boyfriend's name is Thomas xD if only it was Mr.Sansgter himself ._. I don't know what this story is going to be like and it's probably gonna be short because I've got my new Guinea Pig in my lap and he is so cute! xD

A couple weeks later and Lizzie had court, again. Her anxiety, of course, was going through the roof.

"I. Can't. Fucking. Breath!" Lizzie yelled at her concerned friends in between breaths, running outside to get some fresh air in attempt to calm her nerves.

"Just come sit down! Lizzie, come back!" Dylan yelled, being very worried since he hadn't seen Lizzie this bad.

"No, she needs to get away from this. I'll be right back." Thomas said and walked outside to follow Lizzie. With her court date being only two days away, her friends decided to take her to a club to get her mid off of it, but that is much easier said than done. Thomas found her leaning on her hand against the wall, and her other one clutched to her stomach, breathing heavily.

"Lizzie? Look at me, love. Sit down, put your head between your knees. Breath in, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, breath out, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. That's good, keep repeating. Listen to my voice, you're completely okay, this is just your brain sending false thoughts. It's not your court date, it's that crazy bitch's (You're welcome faith), you're just there to testify." Lizzie focused on her breathing and what Thomas was saying. She knew that she didn't have a reason to freak out, it was just a matter of getting that through her head. Her breathing leveled out and she nodded her head, leaning into Thomas's arms. He got a pack of cigarettes out of his jacket and handed her one, which she took gladly. The dose of nicotine was the thing that finally calmed her nerves. She put her head against Thomas's shoulder, looking up and exhaling the smoke, along with her worries.

"I'm sorry. It's just being in that crowded place and then thinking about court, like what if they try to pin it on me? I mean, she was the one passed out when they got there." Thomas stroked her hair to calm her down.

"No, no. You were the one with the rope burns and drugged up. And, when she woke up, she started screaming for you to love her. There's no way they'll put it on you." Lizzie nodded her head and sat with Thomas until they finished their cigarettes.

"What do you want to do now, love?" Thomas asked her.

"Could we just go back to your place and cuddle?" Thomas chuckled at her nervousness and nodded his head, kissing her head.

"I'm gonna go tell the other guys." Lizzie nodded and wrapped her jacket tighter around her, waiting until Thomas came back out and they walked to his car.

"How are you feeling, love?" Thomas said grabbing her hand and backed out of the parking lot.

"Better now, just tired. It was just being in that room with all those people made me anxious. I'm sorry I ruined your night. I just can't stop thinking about tomorrow." Lizzie looked down so that Thomas wouldn't see her blush.

"Don't apologize, you didn't ruin my night at all. I'd be happy to stay in with you anytime." He looked over and smiled at her.

Lizzie waited as Thomas unlocked the door and then they settled into the couch, now in comfy pjs. They watched American Idol for a while until they drifted into sleep.
