(Trigger warning: talks of trial, abuse, and panick attacks)

I wake up to whispering and I hear a click of a camera and I open my eyes and everyone was in the room and I noticed my Dad taking pictures of me and Bia

"Too loud I'm going back to bed." I mumble and curl up to my sister and she laughs and everyone does too

"Sorry babe sadly you can't." I hear Will and I groan and sit up

"Fine you get to carry me." I say and I hear a giggle and I look and see his Mom

I immediately sit up straight and get down and fix my hair

"U-uh hey Mrs.Solace." I stutter and Will chuckles at this and she pulls me in in a hug

"Call me Naomi dear, thank you for treating my son right." She says and I slowly hug her back

"Its nothing he deserves everything." I whisper and and I turn and he smiles

"Thank you, now go let him carry you." She says and I laugh and walk up to Will and lean my head on him

"Alright so I have some news, good news. The pizza delivery girl came forward a wrote a statement. And, her car has a security camera on it which by the way, caught everything." Dad says and I froze

"Wait seriously?" I ask and he nods and continues

"Plus with that video of her hurting you.  The trial is not going into her favor. The lawyer says when we show those videos in court. That there is no doubt the jury will vote in our favor." He said and I falter

"Will....will we have to be there?" I ask slowly and he nods

"I tried to see a way for you to guys stay out of the court room. But, they need each of your statements. Even Wills." He said and Will nods

"I have no problem with it." Will says and so did everyone else

"Yeah, whatever helps the case." Bianca says and I swallow

"Will they show the videos during this time?" I ask and my Dad sees my face and sighs

"Yes son. Everyone in the courtroom has to see the videos. It helps the case" He says and I nod slowly

Great. My whole family gets to see me crying and getting beaten.

Will grabs my shoulder gently but I pull away and walk out of the room taking deep breaths

Nico di Angelo calm down

I walk out of the hospital and start pacing outside and I spot my Dad's car and get in the back and hug my knees to my chest as my breathing picks up

No no no no

The tightness in my chest increases and everything around me feels like it was going to come in on me and I can't hear anything

I close my eyes tightly rocking myself and I feel something touch my shoulder and starts tapping in intervals of 4

1...2...3...4, repeat. 1...2...3...4, repeat.

I start mimicking it tapping on my knee. Bringing my focus to that and soon my breathing calmed down and I become aware of my surroundings

"Hey are you alright?" I hear I look and Leo is next to me and I sigh nodding slowly

"I...I'm okay." I say and he nods and rubs my back

"You wanna tell me what happened there?" He asks and I take a shaky breath
