Chapter 4: Family Meeting

I just had the worst day ever!!
________________________
I wake up in my bed. My room is dark. I look at the window and see the sun is almost set.

I remove myself out of bed and walk to the door. I am hesitant but then open it. I peek my head out and see lights flashing in the living room. I walk to the living room and peek around the corner.

I see Connor lying on the couch watching T.V. I walk over to him and he looks up at me.

"Wanna watch Pretty Little Liars with me?" He asks with a smile.

"Sure." I went to sit on the floor but Connor grabs me and pulls me towards him.

"Look Katie. Trevor was just playing around. I'm sorry if he hurt your feelings. If you want me to, I can have a talk with him." I smiled.

"No it's fine. May I get a drink from the fridge?" I add, hoping he won't make a big deal about the lock screen.

"Yeah there's plenty in there. By the way, what happened in there. Like you got all distant and your sleep was slurry. Were you just really tired?"

"Oh no. That's uh-thatisapanicattackthingthatIget." I say the last part really quick.

"What?"

"I have panic attacks. And that was one of them. They happen whenever I start to, well, basically panic. Or when I feel too much pressure on me. I haven't had one in a while." He looks up at me and wraps me up in a hug.

"I'm sorry, baby girl!"

"It's fine." He smiles softly.

I walk out of the living room to get me a soda. I open the fridge door once I get to the kitchen. This dude was right, he has PLENTY of drinks to last him a whole year. I end up grabbing a Voss water and return to the cold living room.

I sit down in the recliner next to the couch and start watching the tv show.

"You cold?" Connor asked.

"Yeah.." I said not taking my gaze off of the T.V.

"Here." He hands me a blanket and I lean back in the chair.

Connor's POV:

I feel really bad for her. I mean she has anxiety attacks. She seems like such a sweet girl, too.

I look back and see her shivering.

"You cold?"

"Yeah.." She says, not looking away from the screen.

"Here." I lift my blanket up and hand it to her behind my head.

The next thing I knew she was asleep in the recliner. I am able to fall asleep knowing that she is safe and comfortable.

~Next Day~

I hear little laughs. I open my eyes and see Trevor, Ricky, and Jc taking pictures of me and Katie sleeping.

She starts moving around in the recliner and the 3 boys scatter. She leans up and rubs her eyes.

"Morning, Kay. How are you feeling?" I sit up on the couch and yawn.

"Hungry, tired, and annoyed." She says sounding groggy. I laugh and sit up.

"Want breakfast?" Her eyes grow big.

"YASSS!" She throws her hands up in the air and does a tiny happy dance. All I can do was laugh.

She gets up and starts looking around.
