" Zayn!"

Zayn flinched, every muscle in his body tensing in fear.

" Hey, are you okay?" He looked up at Liam and nodded slightly not trusting his voice.

It was one of those days. The days where life was too overwhelming for him. Where it felt as if everyone was an enemy, conspiring against him. Where even the smallest of things startled him to no end. Where he was reminded to fear the world by his own conscience. Where his brain become too overprotective, making him a paranoid mess. The worst days of his life.

Previously, Zayn was of the belief that there were some triggers that made the entire situation unbearable but with time, it became clear to him that there were just some days where he would get out of bed and everything would be too much. The triggers just added more angst to his condition.

Waking up that day had been a task in itself but Zayn was managing until he saw Harry. The curly haired lad had been oddly distant, talking only when he was directly addressed to and even then no more than a few words. His green eyes had held a distinct emotion within them, which Zayn could only decipher as anger.

Was the anger directed towards Zayn? He didn't know. In fact, he didn't want to know. It scared him, the possibility of his brother being mad at him, again.

To top that off it was Friday which meant Zayn had a date with Louis in the evening and he hadn't talked to Harry about it yet.

" You sure? Cause I've been talking to you for like twenty minutes now and you just keep staring at me." Liam said concern painted on his face. Zayn pressed his hand to his chest, rubbing on it slightly as he felt his lungs tighten up.

" Yeah I'm fine, just thinking. What were you saying?" He said taking a few deep breaths. His asthma had been acting up a little lately and even though it was pretty normal for him, with the seasonal change and all, Zayn could feel the tightening in his chest getting harsher than usual.

" Come on let's sit down, yeah?" Liam looked at him with a soft expression before placing his arm around his shoulder and gently walking towards a bench. Hastily, Zayn sat on the bench, breathless from the brief walk. " Where's your inhaler?" He looked up at Liam, cursing mentally as a wheezing sound came out of his lips.

" It's in my bag." He breathed as deeply as possible, only to surrender to the coughs bubbling up his throat and piercing their way out of him.

" Shit Zayn, why'd you keep it in your bag?" Liam passed a hand through his hair, clearly lost on what to do.

" It's fine, Li. I'll be fine." Zayn said, thumping on his chest in an attempt to stop the tides of intense pain crashing on his ribs. Liam shook his head unconvinced by his friend's words.

" Let's just get you to your bag." He turned away from the coughing lad and kneeled down on the ground. Confused, Zayn frowned at him tilting his head a little. " Come on, get on my back. I don't think it's okay for you to walk." The brunette let out, turning around a little in his position. Zayn felt a blush spread under his cheeks as he considered the options but another brutal cough, racking through his frame, made it easy for him to decide.

Shyly, he climbed on his best friends back securing his arms across his neck and his legs across his waist. A few giggles escaped him when he felt an earthquake under himself as Liam got up.

" Hold on tight, Zee." Liam bounced him a little, before starting to walk towards their lockers, carefully but quickly. Zayn clasped his hands together, hiding his face in Liam's back so that he wouldn't get assaulted by the chill in the air.

Soon they were standing outside the lockers, where Liam fumbled with Zayn's lock before finally opening it.

" Which pocket, Zee?" Zayn sighed internally at the question. The raven haired lad knew that if he spoke one more time he was going to cough himself to the point of exhaustion. Fortunately, Liam opened the first zip and there it was sitting right at the top. Zayn was about to get off when he felt a hand grabbing his own. " Don't move, Zee. I'll find us a place to sit."
