Claustrophobia -
The fear of closed, tight places.

The boys get trapped in an elevator. The boys find Niall is annoyed and randomly assumes he needs to pee. They make fun of him for 'needing to pee' and don't notice him going into a panic attack.

NIALL POV:
We get into the hotel elevator, and Liam pushes the 5th floor.

But you see, I'm claustrophobic.

I can handle elevator rides, when they're short, though I really don't enjoy them, but if anything goes wrong...

"What are we doing after our break, again?" Harry asks.

"We have an interview," Liam says.

There's a pause.

"Th-this ride is taking a bit, eh?" I chuckle nervously.

"Are we even still moving..?" Zayn asks.

The boys go quiet for a second, until we realize, no, we aren't moving.

"Ugh, I need to get out of here," I say, panicking a bit.

"Gee, what's up with you."

"N-nothing," I immediately say.

"I bet he needs a wee," I hear someone whisper.

"I don't, I just-"

"Niall needs a wee wee!"

I groan, partly because I'm being teased, but mostly because I REALLY do not want to be stuck here.

I sit down, leaning against one of the walls.

The panic attack comes all at once.

One second, I hear the boys continuously teasing me, the next, ringing.

That's all I hear.

A loud ringing in my ears, as my heart speeds, my breathing gets faster, everything gets blurry.

I groan and put my head between my knees, silently crying.

"Guy- stop mak- fun-" I hear, through the ringing.

I hear them stop, and I can't hear anything besides the continuous ringing.

I put my hands over my ears and shut my eyes as closed as I physically can.

Nothing helps.

The boys scoot closer, trapping me even more.

"You alright Niall?"

I shake my head.

"No, NO!"

Someone puts their arm around me but I flinch and slap it away.

Everything gets dizzy before... black.

Twenty Minutes Later
NIALL POV:
I wake up with the four boys around me.

"What happened?" I immediately ask.

Their eyes snap onto me, and looks of guilt spread across each of their faces.

"We- uh," Zayn starts saying.

"Well, you see, we kinda got trapped in an elevator, and then you started panicking, because, well, we don't really know why-" Liam starts.

"I-I'm claustrophobic..." I cut him off.

They nod.

"Well, we kinda thought, we kinda thought that you might've... had to... go..."

I nod in understanding.

"So we kinda were teasing you about that... and we didn't realize that you were panicking and all that, and then... you kinda passed out, in fear or something along the lines of that... and... and we're really sorry Niall," he says.

I can see he honestly feels bad.

"It's ok... I should've told you, corrected you."

They nod.

"C-can we just forget about this then now?" I say.

They chuckle a bit.

"Sure."

(My brain is not working right now.)
