Simons Pov

After I got out of the much needed shower from the funny video that we filmed, I walked into the living room where everybody was sitting on the couch.

It was now 9pm and I was hungry.
"Yo, wanna get something to eat...? we can order in If you want" I ask all of them, no doubt that Ethan will be staying over tonight. I guess Tobi went home.
"I don't mind ordering in" Josh replies
"Okay what do you all want? And where from?" I ask them all after having a few agreements from the others with what Josh said.
"How about Domino's?" Vikk questions while trying to concentrate on the Fifa game that Ethan and JJ are having. I stare at the screen to see that JJ is winning.

They all tell me what they want individually, and then I order a takeaway for us all. After finishing on the phone, I sit down on the sofa in between Alice and Harry.
"Are you staying over tonight? I think Ethan is so you might as well too" I turn, around asking Alice. Shit, do I sound needy?
"I don't mind staying over, well I mean it's up to you guys" she replies smiling as I stare into her deep, sea blue eyes. Wow, they are beautiful; She's beautiful...
"We don't mind at all" Harry chimes in, snapping me out of my daydream. I probably look creepy right now.

Alice's pov

I take a bite out of my pepperoni pizza that we ordered as I laugh at Harry, who is stealing a slice of my pizza.
"Hey! Get your own pizza you fuck!" I giggle.
"Come on, you love me. Let me have a slice" he laughs, trying to be all innocent.
I mentally curse myself for giving into him and letting him have a slice.
Everyone hears us and starts laughing.
"Hey it's not funny! He's stealing my pizza!" I laugh with them also.

"WHAT EVEN THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT PIECE OF GAME!!" JJ complains as he chucks his controller... I'm guessing he lost the game to Ethan?
"Aww JJ it's okay aha, you'll win next time" I try to make him calm.
"See?? your sister is well nicer." JJ says while Ethan giggles at what he just said.

Out of no where, I start to feel nervous and panicky... No not now, I mentally tell myself.
I have an option to either stay here but make a fool of myself, or pretend I need the bathroom and deal with the upcoming panic attack that I knew I was about to have. I decide to take the latter out of sheer panic.
"Hey... Do you know where the bathroom is?" I shakily ask Simon but silently so the rest don't hear me. I probably look like I'm going to cry right now. I try my best to calm my breathing but right now, all I can think about is wanting to get out of this damn room!

He's seems to notice my expression changed all of sudden and he also begins to get worried.
"Hey, hey are you okay?" He asks me with concern.
"I-I just really need to go somewhere else right now... Can you s-show me where I'll be sleeping?" I ask probably crying right now.
"Uh... Yeh sure" he tells me but still full of concern. I guess he understands what I'm having?

With a quick are you okays from the others, Simon leads me out of the room and up the stairs to the spare room where I'll be sleeping.
I couldn't stop the tears anymore... My breathing was uneven. Heck, it felt like I couldn't breathe at all.
"Hey it's okay, look at me" He worries, placing a hand on my shoulder. I couldn't speak... I couldn't breathe.

Simon hugs me knowing far too well that I'm unable to do as he says at the moment. Not making it to my bedroom for the night, we both sit down on the top of the stairs as Simons arms hold me tightly. Not in a discomforting way though. He tries his very best to calm me down while saying things like it's going to be okay and that he's here for me.
"Shh, it's okay, you're okay... I'm here for you... I'll always be here for you" he whispers in a shaky voice, him being worried for me.
"Count with me okay?" He asks while he starts to count to ten to calm me down. I slowly but finally join in with him, thankful for him helping me out.
"Thank you... So much... And I'm so sorry I put you t-through this" I quietly thank him.
I can feel him smiling due to me leaning my head in the crook of his neck.
"It's no problem. I'm glad you're okay" he replies.
"Do you get these often?" He asks me, sounding guilty. I didn't mean to make him feel guilty...
"Sometimes... Probably like 3 times in a month, but I don't really know... I just get panic attacks at the weirdest moments, and it's quite hard to stop them straight away." I explain to him. He tightens his grip around me to let me know that he's here for me.
"If you ever go through one of these again, come to me okay? I'm glad you're okay" he smiles down at me. I smile back, thankful to know such an amazing person as Simon Minter.

He caresses my cheek and gently wipes away the tears with his thumb. I look down at the sudden contact but secretly smile... Hopefully he doesn't see me blush.

"Do you want me to show you your room and then I'll tell the boys that you're okay? I'm sure Ethan understands all this?" He asks me as we both stand up, letting go of each other.
"Yeh... Thank you Simon... You helped a lot" I smile at him.
"It's okay" he smiles back then he guides me to the spare room that I'll be sleeping in.

"Goodnight" he whispers gently closing the door behind him.
"Goodnight... Si" I also whisper. However, he probably didn't hear me.
