Mandy's POV

Okay, I regret my actions now.

This day just confuses me. First thing in the morning, I experience the wrath of  Automysophobic (fear of being dirty) Jacob Michael Harris. I should have thought it through when I let Elle leave him on the floor. How would I like it when someone would forcibly drop me hundreds of feet in the air?

Oh, right. That's EXACTLY what they're doing to me now.

"Wha- WHY IS THERE A ZIPLINE AT A RESORT?" My knees got week at the sight of the cable line. Zayn caught my fall, and is now trying to hold me up.

Remember when I said this day confuses me? Well yeah. I get attacked by raging Jake, then get sweet talked and KISSED by my dream man, and then I have to fall? If it's gonna be a bad day, then be a bad day. If it's gonna be a good day, then be a good day! Don't make me have mixed feelings about this!

"Are you okay?" Zayn looked down at me, looking genuinely worried.

"No." I choked out. Everyone started to crowd over me. Stupid move, everybody. Now I can't breathe. "Jake, you Scheißkerl [bastard!] Is this-" I took a deep breath and twitched my eye. "Is this payback? Cause I'm pretty sure I'm gonna want to rip your shoulders too, by now." I managed to wheeze out.

"What? No, Mandy..." His eyes pleaded me, and I looked away. That probably offended him, so he stepped out from the circle of people looming over me.

"You're gonna have to forgive him, soon, love." Louis said from the side, and gave me a small smile.

"Don't get your knickers in a twist, love. I just did." I said, copying Louis' accent.

"You know, that was pretty good-"

"Shut up, Niall." Louis said. Harry laughed at it. I coughed, then felt something pressed up my lips. I inhaled deeply, held it in, then shook it out. Two breaths was enough, and I propped myself up.

"What just happened?" Zayn stared at me, worry replacing his features.

"That's the second time you've had an attack, Mandy." Megan sheepishly said.

"An attack?" Zayn looked up at Megan.

"A panic attack. Mandy had an accident when she was little, and developed fears." Elle stated, putting the inhaler back in my purse.

"Falling's one that I know of." Megan pouted. "I accidentally pushed her off the bed. And that freaked me out- I..."

"It's okay, Meg." I smiled at her. "I'm used to it. These people I call my friends," I gestured to Elle and Luke who was at my right. "Found it funny to a point that it's how they woke me up every morning when we were kids."

"We said we were sorry!" They said simultaneously.

"Well, it seems that Luke isn't that sorry, because he took me here!" You bastard.

"Oh, stop being a wuss. I got you to ride an airplane, I'll get you to ride a zipline. Plus, Zayn's gonna be your partner anyway." He said smugly. I glared at him, and started to walk away.

"Are you okay, now, Mandy?" Harry said slowly.

"Well, let's keep me out of the bad places-" I gestured to the cliff 5 meters away from me. "-And let's keep me breathing normally to keep me okay. Okay?" I whispered and smiled. "Okay. Now, seeing as if you made me leave my car as punishment for making Elle say 'I love you'  to Louis- ow!" Luke nudged me. I eyed him pointedly.

"How can I get to where you're going-" I pointed to the small spot at the end of the two cables. "Without plummeting to my doom?" I crossed my arms and tapped my foot, waiting patiently for the answer.
