TW: Panick Attack & Self Harm

Zack's pov:

Me and Atlas were sitting in his room watching a movie, key word were he fell asleep mid movie.

His phone ringing snaps me out of my thoughts. I reach over and grab his phone seeing who the caller ID belongs to. It's Emily.

"Atlas, hey Emily's calling you." I say

"Hmm?" He mumbles

"Emily's calling you." I say giving him his phone

He takes the phone and answers the call putting it on speaker "Hello?" He says, his voice raspy

"Hey, I was wondering if I could come over, if not it's okay but something just happened and I don't know what to do so I was just hoping I could come over and hang out." She says out of breath with her voice shaky

"Hey, calm down it's okay. Let me get ready and me and Zack will come get you. Are you at home?" He says as he motions towards the closet telling me to get dressed

"Mhm" She says

"Okay we'll be there in alittle, okay?" He says softly

"Okay.." She says hanging up the phone

Me and Atlas get dressed and make our way to the front door he stops in his tracks before shifting slightly and preceeding to open the door

Walking over the passenger side he opens the door for me letting me get in and shutting it once I'm situated

He walks over to the driver's side and gets in shutting his door behind him.

He starts the car and backs out of the drive way

•••

We pull into Emily's drive way, and Atlas puts the car in park

Grabbing his phone he calls Emily and puts the phone on speaker, letting it ring until it goes to voice-mail.

Hmm, weird.

"We can always go knock. Maybe she's away from her phone." I say holding the door handle

Atlas nods his head and follows me to the door

I knock and wait for a response.

No answer.

I knock again.

No answer.

It's been a few minutes now and we're starting to think something's wrong.

"Maybe we should just go in and make sure she's alright." Atlas says

"But what if that makes her uncomfortable?" I say not wanting to intrude

"Well to be fair she called, we came, I called and got no answer, and you knocked. Twice. Something has to be wrong or atleast weird." He says

I nod and he twists the door knob, opening the door. He enters her home and walks in with me following behind him.

We start looking around to see if anything is out of the ordinary or seems to be a threat

We reach a room and knock before entering just to make sure we're not invading anymore privacy then we already are

No answer.

I twist the doorknob and open the door taking a few steps into the room with Atlas now following behind me.

I scan the room until my eyes rest on a sobbing Emily in the corner of the room, me and Atlas rush over to her as soon as we realize.

"Hey hey hey, it's okay. We're here, you're not alone anymore. It's okay." Atlas says as he takes a seat beside her

She's gasping and choking on her own sobs, pulling at her hair, and digging her nails into her skin.

I try to softly remove her hands to prevent giving her anymore pain to deal with later and see fresh cuts along her wrists.

She coughs and sniffles as sobs leak from her mouth and leave her a mess of sorrow.

Me and Atlas just sit there holding her, trying our very best to comfort her

"I-" She tries to speak but not being able to finish her sentence being cut off by her own sobs

"It's okay, you don't have to say anything. We're here for you." I say softly

Her sobs and cries are filled with pain and despair and I want nothing more than to help her

After a few minutes her sobs slow and so do her tears, she manages to catch her breath, and calm down.

"I-I'm so s-sorry.." She says stuttering

"It's okay, we don't mind. We're here for you." Atlas says

She nods her head and sinks into our embrace.
