Chris's POV:

I barge into my parent's hotel watching them jump, startled by my entrance. I take a deep breath before I yell. "Mom can we get an earlier flight?!" Lily walks in hesitantly biting her nails and visibly shaking.

"What?! What is going on?! God you scared me! Is something wrong? You're still in your swimsuit Christopher!" My eyes are bulging out of the sockets scared for what might be happening back at home. Lily won't tell me the details but by the way that she's acting it's bad. And I'm scared. Nick walks into the room, coming up behind Lily, wrapping his arms around her, holding her trying to calm her down. Matt then comes in behind Nick biting his nails too.

"Mom Lily has a family emergency! She needs to get home now!" Matt yells bringing a hand to Lily's shoulder rubbing it lightly.

"Is someone hurt? Are you ok Lily?!" My mom speaks now just as worried as me and my brothers. Lily opens her mouth to try and speak but she can't and tears start to fall from her eyes. I pull her over to me, holding her, kissing the top of her head, doing everything I possibly can to try and help her calm down.

"I'm calling the airport now. I can't promise they'll get us in but I'll try my best. Everyone pack just in case they can." My dad says holding the hotel phone to his ear. Lilly shoves her face deep into my chest still sobbing as we walk out of the room and back to ours. I stop at the door turning to Matt and Nick.

"Can you give us a sec please?" I ask my brothers and they both nod to me.

When me and Lily walk in I let go of her to close the door. When I turn around she's on the edge of the bed, her head in her hands as she sobs. Her hands are shaking so much and it's terrifying me. I'm so worried for her. I squat down in front of her resting my hands on her knees. "Hey hey! Hey Lil! Look at me OK?" I say bringing my left hand to her cheek. She looks up at me. "It's going to be ok, alright? I'm right here, Matt and Nick are here for you and my parents are gunna do everything they can to get us home quickly. Alright? Just breathe." I begin to breath deep showing her as an example and she soon joins in. It takes her a min to slow down to my pace but once she does her hands slowely settle their shaking. I bring my other hand to join my left on the sides of her face saying, "I'm right here, baby." I kiss her forehead light and long lasting as she shuts her eyes focusing on the sensation. I then move my head back and push her hair behind her ears. "It's gunna be ok." I move my hands to grab hers and kiss her on the lips swiftly. Her smile that I love so much starts to slightly appear but quickly goes away again as she winces in pain. I quickly scan her trying to find the source as I say, "what's wrong?" I then see some blood pooling out of one of her finger. "Oh hunny." I say light and lovingly. She bit her nail too deep and now it's bleeding quite a lot for a finger. I grab her wrists lightly pulling her up to standing again. I move her to the bathroom where I pick her up and put her on the counter. I grab the hand that was bleeding, her right, and held it while I opened the drawers to my right searching for a first aid kit. I find one grabbing it out and struggling to unzip it with my one free hand, but finally getting it as she holds the top of it steady with her left. I then open it, grabing out a packaged sanatizer and bringing it up to my mouth, ripping it with my teeth. I set it down grabbing the paper like sheet, unwravling it. I then hold it looking up at her with loving eyes. "Luv, this is gunna sting." She nods her head while her eyebrows furrow worried, making me sad. She starts to frown and I put the rag down on her thigh holding her cheek giving her a kiss. "Oh baby" I then start to shower her in kisses. Her neck, her cheeks, her forehead and her shoulders. I hate seeing her in pain and upset. I fucking hate it.

That's when we hear a knock and the door creek open with nicks big head sticking through it. Me and Lily both look finding nicks eyes. "Can we come in? We have to pack." Nick says before I look at lily and she nods. Nick then comes in instantly going to his luggage again scrambling to pack but more silently this time.

Matt then follow closely behind emediatly stopping seeing me holding lily's cheek in my right hand. He looks upset before coming in asking, "is she alright?" Seeing the first aid kit out.

"Yeah, she bit her finger a bit deep. I got it tho." I say caressing her cheek.

"You sure?" Matt says looking at Lily. All of a sudden tension fills the room. Weird tension. I side eye him nodding my head and he backs off leaving the bathroom. The tension goes away and I close the door. I look back at Lily finding her head hanging low, eyes down as her leg bounces. It's obvious her mind went back to the situation that she won't talk to me about.

"Hey! Focus on me. Alright? Now take a deep breath." I say as I grab the rag from her thigh holding it as my thumb caresses the skin bellow it. Once Lilly comes to the end of her breath I raise the cleaner to her finger pressing it down as her face scrunches up. I wipe away the blood as quick as possible to not prolong the pain. I grab a neospoene bottle squeezing a bit of the liquid out onto her wound. I then grab the bandaid and wrap it around her finger. I bring my lips to her painful digit kissing above the bandaid lightly then moving back. "See! It's alright. All better." I bring both my hands to the sides of her face once more wiping a stray tear that fell to her cheek. She brings her left hand to the back of my neck pulling me in and kissing me desperately. It was almost like she was trying to get her mind off of the anxiety that fills her currently. The kiss was long but once it ended she fell into my arms shoving her face into the crook of my neck crying. I pull her waist in quickly then running my hands through her hair soothingly.
