One where Niall just got some bad news about a friend, so is in a bad mood. He takes it out by making fun of Harry. Harry starts crying and Niall feels super bad, then he gets yelled at by all the other boys.

NIALL POV:
I was relaxing, listening to music, when I get a call. It's from one of my friend's brother. He never calls me, we hate each other. What could be going on? I ignore the thoughts assuming it's a prank, and pick up the call.

"Niall! Thank god. Um, Derek wanted me to tell you this. He-he's in a surgery right now. He has an 80% chance to live, but just in case, he said- he said goodbye."

"Oh! Um, thanks. Thank you so much. Um, update me as soon as possible?"

"Sure."

"Thanks, bye."

Great, now I'm worried. I go to the kitchen to get some water, which usually helps me calm down.

On the way there, Harry accidentally bumps into me.

"Sorry."

"It's alright."

We both go into the kitchen. All the other boys are sitting there too. I get my water. Then, Harry bumps into me again!

"God! That is the second time! You're so annoying."

I realize what I just did. Took my anger, well, more like fear, out on Harry.

Harry starts crying.

Liam immediately goes to comfort him. He leads him into the living room and I don't hear anymore.

"Why did you snap at him!?" Louis asked.

"Yea, that's not cool," Zayn added.

"You're so mean to him! You're just a mean person."

"I-I'm sorry. I-I got some n-" I started but Louis cut me off.

"Save it. We don't need your excuses."

I run to my room and started crying.

Why DID I snap at him. I could've just told someone and they would've helped me for sure. I continue crying, which has kind of turned into sobbing now. Crying about how bad I feel, about my friend, about my life.

LIAM POV:
I easily comfort Harry.

"He probably had something going on," was all I really had to say.

When he's calm, I take him back to the kitchen. Niall's gone.

"Guys um, do you think maybe you took it a little too far? Maybe let him explain himself next time? Let's go check on him."

NIALL POV:
The crying turned worse.

I think it's a panic attack now. My heart is beating fast, my breathing has really picked up, I'm shaking and trembling, and I'm still heavily crying.

Then, I hear knocking.

"C-c-come i-in."

All four boys walk in, including Harry who looks calm. Seeing this doesn't calm me at all though.

The panic attack gets worse. Are they here to yell at me more?

"I-I-I'm s-so sorr-r-y. I didn't mean it."

"We know, and we also know you had something to explain about your behavior?"

"Um, do I have to say it?"

"Well, we kinda want to know what's bothering you so... I guess, yea."

I sighed.

"M-my friend is in a surgery and has an 80% chance to live," from that my breathing picked up and I started talking much faster, "and that's like 20% to little and what if he doesn't make it. I didn't get to talk to him! What will happen? He was a really good friend and-"

"Niall, it's going to be okay," Liam cut me off.

He came over and gave me a hug, before realizing my breathing was off.

"Ni? Is this a panic attack, perhaps?"

I nodded. He calmly said an, "Ok," before helping me through it.

"I'm sorry Harry. I didn't mean it. I think I'm the annoying one. I wasn't trying to take it out on you though. C-can you please forgive me?"

He nodded and came to join the hug.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you too Niall," Zayn said.

"Me too," Louis added.

I know the ending was crap, live with it.
