[3rd Month Living with the Sturniolos]

(TW// Panic-attack)
I dart my body up from my bed as I hear yelling in a room nearby, my flight or fight kicking in. I panic as it gets harder to see. The voices get somewhat foggy as my mind and heart races. My mind flicks back to when my parents would argue and how I would sit at the top of the stairs, making sure nothing ever got out of hand. I re-adjust my clawclip as I walk out into the hallway, seeing the 3 boys I live with look back at my forced calm expression from down the hallway.

Nick rolls his eyes as I walk down the stairs and instantly go to sit outside on the porch, trying to calm myself down. My vision gets blurry, eventually soaking my face a bit as I wipe all the tears off. My mind blurs a bit more as I watch the cars on the street pass by every once in awhile. I pick my phone up to see a text.

I sigh, pushing my phone into my pocket while I walk back into the house, laying down to take a nap.

[Chris POV]
(plot twist😨)

My brothers left a little bit ago to go shopping, something I wasn't in the mood to do.

I walk downstairs at 2:13 to see Y/N passed out in the couch with a white fuzzy blanket laying on top of her. I look at her face for a moment, her under-eyes seemed red and puffy, and it looked like she had been crying. She actually looked really pretty though. I sigh, feeling even more guilty about earlier. I decided to try and make her some food as an apology since she always lets us eat whatever she's made.

[Y/N POV]

I wake up to what smells like something burning.

"What the hell?" I say out-loud, rubbing my eyes while I kick the blanket off my body to stand up. I look over to the kitchen to see Chris with a pot of noodles in the sink.

"Whats this?" I say, groggy, while I look at the clock while I walk over to the burnt noodles.

He looks over at me, embarrassed, "Umm, I felt bad about this morning so I tried to make you these to say sorry."

He looks back down at his noodles, seeming ashamed.

"It's alright." I reassure, "You didn't have to make me anything and this morning just scared me for a moment is all."

He smiles at me, "Thank you," he says, hugging me out of thin air. I stand stunned for a second, not liking physical affection. I try my best to be calm as I hug him back with tensed arms. He pulls back before we go back to our day. Not doing much except whatever we wanted.

"He tried to make me food.." I mutter to myself as I look at the burnt noodles in the sink, leaving them to clean later.
