Daniel pov

Today is going to be a tough day for me. I have tachycardia. Last night I had a few attacks, which usually means the next day is gonna be just as bad. For me, I don't even have to be doing anything to have an attack. I've gotten lucky, my band members have not caught on. I don't want them to see me differently. I don't want them to treat me like I'm broken. I'll tell them at some point, just not now.

I made my way down to the living room, plopping down onto the couch. "Good morning, my love!" Corbyn kisses my cheek. "Morning." I smile softly. "You okay? You seem off." He examines my body, trying to pinpoint what's up. "I'm fine, didn't sleep too well. But I'm ok." I huff, pulling my knees up and curling up against him. He sighs, not liking when I don't get good sleep. He knows I need it. Just doesn't know about the whole tachycardia thing. "Well, we don't have a lot going on today, so you can get some extra rest." He rubs small circles in my hip.

"Breakfast is ready!" Jonah announced from the kitchen. Corbyn and I jump up and make our way over to the table. Jonah distributes the full plates, receiving a "thank you" from everyone. I began to munch on my pancake, when I started to hear my heartbeat in my ears. "Fuck." I mumbled. "What was that Daniel?" Jack questioned. "Uh, nothing." I take slow deep breaths, trying to get my heart rate to go back to normal.

My vision started to become a blur, it began to spin. I felt a knot in my stomach. "Corbyn, look at Daniel!" I heard Zach say, fear laced in his voice. I could feel all the eyes on me, I hated it. "Oh my God Daniel! You're sweating so much, you're turning red!" Corbyn panics, putting his hand on my forehead. "I'm... Fine." I pant. "No, you're no Dani! What's going on?!" Zach stands up, coming over and crouching down next to me. "Can't breath!" I cough, grabbing Corbyn's hand. "What do we do?" Jonah asks, obviously wanting one of the other guys to answer. "Wait." I responded, trying to catch my breath.

It took a while for everything to calm down. My heart rate slowly went back to normal. "Daniel? What the hell was that?" Corbyn consults, placing a glass of water on the side table next to me. "Umm... I have tachycardia. Every once in a while, I'll get hit with a bunch of attacks. That's what happened at breakfast." I look down in shame. "Why would you hide that from us?? We could have helped you!" Jonah went mom mode, tearing up a bit. He was playing with my hair. "Because I don't need help! I don't want you to treat me differently!" I shout, all my emotions hitting me at once. "We won't treat you differently, we just need to know these things in case you need us. How are we supposed to know what to do, if we didn't even know you were tachycardic?" Zach explains. "I guess. I'm sorry I hid this." I apologize, looking around at my band members. "Dont apologize, Dani, we aren't mad. We just want you to be safe." Corbyn kissed my temple. "I love you guys." I cling to Corbyn like a koala, slowly falling into a deep slumber once again.
