I didn't realize how long I stood there in shock until Ashton put his hand on my shoulder and asked if I was okay. I looked at him and blinked a few times. "Um yea-ah I'm fine. I'm just a bit shocked I guess." I started to play with my fingers nervously. Ashton and Bryana smiled and looked back at me. "Hey Ash, why don't you fill out the adoption forms and I'll help Carter pack?" Bryana suggested and sent another warm smile my way. Ashton agreed and went with Ms. Carlos while Bryana and I went upstairs to my room. "So, I noticed how you were like the only one not freaking out about Ashton. I think that's one of many reasons he picked you, someone he can start over with." She smiled softly as we walk over to my stuff. I send her confused look and let out a light 'huh'. She lets out a little giggle and looks at the ground then back at me. "Ashton is, well, famous. He's in a really popular band named 5 Seconds of Summer, but don't worry, you'll know get to listen to them a lot when we get home." I nod my head and think to myself, "That name sounds really familiar..". I show her where my stuff is and she gets a weird look on her face. "Is this it?" I shyly look down and glance back at the small pile. "Yeah, when I moved here I didn't really bring a lot of clothes. Mostly just things to remind me of back then." I look back at her and she looks at me with sympathy. "Well when you get settled in, we're going shopping!" She smiles in effort to bring the mood back up, which actually works. I smile and grab my bag and shove my clothes and a few other things in. I zip it up and look up to see Bryana looking through my sketch book. "Wow..these are really good, Carter. Like really good." I smile and look down. "Thanks. That's all I really do here. Just draw and eat. I guess I've never really been into the whole social thing, not that I really had a choice being here and all." She looks back up at me with a smile and shuts the book. She grabs my hand in hers and she gently squeezes it. "Come on, lets go home." We go downstairs to see Ashton talking to some older girls and signing things. I look over to see Olive sitting with some toys. I go over and tap her shoulder. She looks back and instantly hugs me. "I'm gonna miss you too Oli." I hug her tightly and look at her. I kiss her forehead and leave her to her toys again. I walk over to Ashton and Bryana, "You ready to go?" Ashton smiles. I smile and nod my head. We walk outside to see a lot of people who are screaming and taking pictures. Ashton grabs both mine and Bryana's hand and helps us to the car. I can't see cause the bright lights and I start to lose my breath. I can already tell what's about to happen and I try and get Ashton attention. I try and call his name but he doesn't hear me. I can't tell whether it was cause everyone else's screaming or if my voice decided not to work and if I even spoke at all. I look around with panic in my eyes when I realize that I can't feel Ashtons hand anymore. I look around in hope to find someone and luckily I catch a glimpse of Bry's blonde hair. I try and walk over to her but my legs seem to stop working. At this point I can't breath at all and my vision is getting worse. I try and walk again but I'm still trapped in the same spot. Although my vision is very blurry, I see Bryana rush over to me and her mouth starts to move but I can barely make out what she's saying. I see Ashton run up behind Bry and he starts to speak too. I try and talk but only a breathy words come out along with my other quick breaths. "Panic..attac-ck" I give them panicky looks and I can feel myself starting to cry. All of a sudden I feel myself being lifted and see that Ashton had picked me up and started to rush to the car with Bryana in front of him. We soon get into the car and I can feel myself start to calm down. I open my eyes, after realizing they were closed for I don't even know how long, and I see Bryana sitting beside me with Ashton beside her. "Are you okay? Do you need some water?" I shake my head as I finally catch my breath. "No, I just wanna rest." I feel my eyes drift down and Bryana's hand gently put my head in her lap. I feel myself drift off with Bryana and Ashton playing with my hair.
