*I have ADHD and this is my experience*
Chris really struggled with his thoughts. He was pretty sure he had ADHD but he was never diagnosed so he never claimed he did. Sat alone in his room, his thoughts consuming his brain.
'Try running up the stairs see how long it takes.'
'Go and tell Matt about this new idea you have.'
'I wonder what would happen if..'All the thoughts swirling around in his head. He was pretty used to it by now but sometimes he just got really overstimulated and counsels do anything for a while. Today was one of those days. Of course it was on one of the busiest days of the month. It was the Premiere of Sam And Colby's movie and Nick and Matt were so thrilled that they'd been invited so Chris knew he couldn't ruin it for them. He got out of bed and tried on his clothes for the premiere. A bit casual but he couldn't muster up any other outfit so he went with it.
He walked upstairs and Matt and Nick were dressed nicer than himself. He began to panic and ran down the stairs.
'Chris?' Matt ran down after him. 'Why'd you leave?'
'You're all dressed so nicely and my mind is racing today and I'm just so so overstimulated and I can't focus on a thing anyone has told me and I...' he rambled for what felt like forever.
'Chris, it's okay. This event isn't anything that major, me and Nick just wanted to dress up nicer for the fun of it.' Matt reassured Chris while rubbing his arm.
'Promise?' He says, visibly still a little upset.
'Pinky promise.' Matt held out his pinky for Chris.
'Damn, so you mean it.' Chris chuckled and they interlocked their pinkies before shooting them down.Matt and Chris go back upstairs and they get in the car. Chris is the passenger princess (duh) and his leg is bouncing. He's been thinking about this premiere for a week. He was spacing out when he felt a hand resting on his thigh, the thumb caressing it a little.
'It's okay. Don't worry. I'm here.' Matt whispered and he kept one hand on Chris as he drove.
Chris' head was still racing with thoughts, not even necessarily about the premiere. Video ideas, who to hang out with next etc.
They arrived at the event and everyone was surprised to see them. They all had a great time and the movie was incredible. Matt was a little frightened to be honest.
After the premiere, Sam and Colby approached the three.
'Hey, wanna come round to our place? Just us?' Colby asked as he pulled each in for an embrace.Nick gave Matt and Chris look and they nodded in approval.
'Sounds good, thank you for inviting us by the way, it was incredible.' Nick says gratefully.
'Hey no worries, glad you had fun.' Sam exclaimed as he was pulled off by somebody else in the crowd, and Colby following close behind.
They arrived at Sam and Colby's house and they hung out for hours, talking about hell week, how much editing they'd done and a bit about the triplets too of course.
Matt checked his phone.
'Oh shit, sorry we have a meeting we need to get to.' Matt said scrambling for their bags.'No worries, we should do this again sometime. You guys are really fun people.' Sam said standing up to show them out.
'Thanks, for sure.' Nick replied as they rush out the door.
Later that night Chris jumped into bed, and felt so relieved. Today had been really rough for him. He wanted to debrief with Matt but he felt guilty laying all his feelings onto him.
Just like magic, Chris' phone pings, it was Matt.
'Come on up, and don't feel guilty btw, I'm always here yk.'
How the heck did he know, Chris leaped out of bed and went into Matt's room. He got next to Matt on the bed and talked about his thoughts and ideas. It's great for Chris to do this, it helps him to unwind. They must've fallen asleep because Chris woke up in Matt's bed, matt still asleep next to him.
'This is the life.' Chris murmured and got a little closer to Matt to feel his comfort. He fell asleep once more.
