Lauren's pov
Me and Zayn were fast asleep in my room after lots of begging from me and opposing from my family we finally got to room together. I am pretty sure that my dad really doesn't like Zayn after this but I don't care cause as long as we're together he'll have to. Lacey was sleeping in Taylor's room. I hear screaming and crying start and I immediately jump out of bed and run into Taylor's room and there is Lacey shaking around and screaming and crying. Her back arches up in the air and she continues to scream out. She starts to wheeze and I run to her side as everyone else comes into the room.
"I dot. Know what happened I didn't do anything!" Taylor says
"I know Tay it's not your fault!"
I wrap my arms around her and cradle her in my arms. I calm her down and start singing skyscraper. "Ssh baby girl don't cry! Please don't cry! You can take everything I have. You can break everything I am like I'm made of glass, like I'm made of paper. Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground like a skyscraper. Like a skyscraper!"
She starts to calm down but then she can't breathe and she is wheezing and breathing in hard. She starts to cough and then I realize she's having an asthma attack as well. "Zayn go get her inhaler! She might have a seizure" He runs off back to our room to get the inhaler. Tears start to float from eyes. "Chris call Camila now!" She needs to know. I don't want anything bad to happen to her, any long term damage or anything. If she goes into a seizure that would be really bad, that's why we have to wake her up so that it doesn't happen. I love her so much and anything bad possibly happening to her makes me scared. "Munchie it'll be ok! I'm right here, try to copy my breathing. Please sweetie please don't stop breathing on me munchie! I love you!"
Zayn runs into the room with her inhaler with the mist pump, he gives her a pump and rubs her back. Another pump rubs her back. She starts to breathe normally and Zayn comforts her. I hand her over to him. I walk out of the room and into mine locking the door. My parents knock on the door. "Lauren sweetie open up!" I stay completely silent just weeping into my hands.
"Lauren can you let us in!"
"No!" I say choking in my sobs.
"Please you need help we can comfort you!" My mother adds.
"Lauren Michelle Jauregui Morgado open this door right now!"
"I am a grown ass woman I can do whatever the hell I want!" I yell back knowing that was a huge mistake.
"Lauren....." he starts but is interrupted by someone outside the door talking to him. "Lauren baby can you open the door for me, please?"
"No!"
"Please baby girl all I want to do is help you and tell you how Lacey is!"
"You can tell me through the door!"
"No I want to see you!" I open up the door and I fall into his arms and I cry. He wraps his arms around me as I fall to the ground crying. Everyone is looking at me and I am just crying. I can't fathom the idea of anything happening to Lacey. He lifts me up and carries me back into the room and I just cry into his chest. "I know Lau! it was scary! I know!"
"We understand how you feel!" My dad says from the door.
"No you don't understand! You didn't just see your daughter struggling to breathe after having a nightmare about her psychotic father killing one of us girls or hurting her! You don't understand the scare of seeing your daughter on the verge of not breathing! You don't know you have no idea what it feels like to watch your daughter reliving the pain over and over again at night! You don't know! You don't know! You don't...." My yelling turns into crying and Zayn pulls me into his chest. "Lauren calm down it's ok! Lacey is ok!" I cry myself to sleep in Zayns arms that night.

~morning time
I woke up with an instant feeling of regret. of the things I said, the yelling, how I reacted in general. I went into Taylor's room and see no one there so I went down stairs and there Taylor, Chris, Camila, Austin, and Lacey were sitting in the living room. Taylor pointed to the kitchen and so I went in and found my mom and dad standing around the island. "Daddy mom I'm sorry about how I reacted yesterday. I'm sorry for what I said and for yelling yesterday I was just scared! I'm so so sorry!"
"It's ok we understand that you were scared and were reacting as so!" My dad says. I hug him and kiss his cheek. "I love you daddy and thank you for caring enough to try and help me!"
"Of course you're my little girl!"
I walk back into the living room and sit next to Zayn and put my head on his chest. "Thank you for saving Lacey and for helping me!"
"Of course love it was no problem I was happy to do it, I love Lacey as much as you do!"
"It really means a lot!"
"Of course I would do anything for you because.....because I love you Lauren!"
i smile "I love you too Zayn!"
Camila absolutely freaks out. "Did you guys just say I love you for the first time?"
"Yes Camila!"
Everyone starts clapping and I blush from embarrassment. I buried my head into Zayns shirt. He just laughs. "Hey Laur can we go apple picking today?" Taylor asks me
"Sure!"
"Mommy Lolo what is apple picking?" Lacey asks me
"Oh then we're definitely going apple picking today!"
