I'm so glad I met you

Too many thoughts were running around in his head and they just wouldn't stop keeping him from sleeping. It felt impossible to lie down next to Zayn and try to fall asleep again, it was too loud in his head.

And suddenly it wasn't just his mind that was restless but his whole body started to shake. Harry noticed how damp his hands were, cold and sweaty, he looked down at them as they trembled and then disappeared before his eyes. He could no longer see them behind the tears that veiled his gaze.

His heart raced, the uncomfortable pressure on his chest increased immeasurably and he felt like he was about to fall apart. He first felt dizzy and then almost black in front of his eyes. Harry felt like he lost control of his body, only felt his heart racing in his heavy feeling chest and he had to gasp for air to be able to continue breathing.

Sobbing and gasping for breath, he pulled his knees to his body and tightly wrapped his arms around them. He stayed like that for the next 20 minutes, waiting for it all to stop.

Two strong arms finally brought him back to the here and now and helped Harry to breathe more calmly again. After another 10 minutes and whispered calming words from Zayn, Harry felt a little better, so that he let go of his knees, which he had been holding convulsively until now, and wiped the rest of the cold sweat off on the bed sheets.

"That was a panic attack, Harry." Zayn's voice was low but clear. Still, Harry didn't understand.

"What?" he whispered, turning his head to Zayn.

"A panic attack."

Zayn's calm, deep voice continued to calm Harry down, his heart beating almost back to normal by now. With a tired smile, Zayn pulled his friend close to him, who immediately snuggled up to him and began to cry softly into the crook of his neck. Zayn just sat there, stroking Harry's hair and hugging him gently. He wiped the tears away until there were none left and Harry had stopped crying.

"It'll be okay, I promise. I'm getting them too a lot lately. The stress is just too much sometimes..."

Harry's heart ached. This all should be fun for them, he didn't want one of his best friend and even himself suffer from it.
