INT. ZAYN'S LIVING ROOM - DAY

Zayn, a 16-year-old boy with autism, sits on the couch, engrossed in his favorite TV show. His legs are bouncing anxiously as he struggles to focus on anything else. Liam, his caring friend, notices Zayn's discomfort and becomes concerned.

LIAM
Zayn, I think you really need to use the bathroom, mate. You've been holding it for a while now.

Zayn's eyes remain glued to the screen, and he harshly snaps back at Liam.

ZAYN
Leave me alone, Liam! I'm fine! Just let me watch my show!

Liam, taken aback by Zayn's outburst, feels a mix of worry and frustration. He knows Zayn needs help, but he also understands his friend's need for routine and fixation.

LIAM (firmly)
Zayn, I'm not going to let you ignore your needs. You can't hold it forever, and I'm not going to stand by and watch you suffer.

Zayn's face contorts with anger and frustration. Despite his best efforts, he can't deny the urgency anymore. Suddenly, he feels a warm sensation spreading, and he realizes he's wet himself. Tears well up in his eyes as embarrassment washes over him.

ZAYN (whispering)
No... no, this can't be happening.

Panicking, Zayn rushes toward his room, locking the door behind him. Inside, he collapses onto the floor, his breathing rapid and shallow. This panic attack has overwhelmed him, and he feels trapped and scared.

LIAM (knocking on the door)
Zayn, please open the door. I'm so sorry, mate. Let me help you.

Liam's voice manages to cut through the fog of anxiety, and Zayn hesitantly reaches for the lock, struggling to regain control. He finally manages to unlock the door, and Liam rushes in, immediately pulling Zayn into a comforting embrace.

LIAM (whispering)
I'm here, Zayn. I'm so sorry for pushing you. I didn't mean to make you feel this way.

Zayn clings to Liam, tears streaming down his face as he tries to calm himself. Liam's presence and words of comfort begin to soothe him, gradually easing the panic attack.

NIALL (from outside the room)
Zayn, we're here for you, mate. We care about you.

Louis and Harry join Niall outside the room, showing their support for Zayn. Their voices of encouragement filter through, reaching Zayn's ears.

Zayn takes a deep breath, his trembling subsiding, and he looks up at Liam with teary eyes.

ZAYN (softly)
I'm sorry, Liam. I didn't mean to yell at you. I was scared, and I got overwhelmed.

LIAM
It's okay, Zayn. I understand. We all make mistakes, but we're here for you no matter what.

They sit there together, finding solace in each other's presence, as Zayn begins to regain his composure. The bond between friends strengthens in the face of adversity, offering support and understanding as they navigate the challenges of life together.
