One Direction Sickfics

Asthma (Zayn Centric)

Zayn POV

Today is gonna be such a hectic day. We have 3 radio interviews 2 photoshoots and then video shooting at the end of the day. Of course in the middle of all these we have like 10 minutes to chill out. The boys and I usually spend this time mucking around. Its always a recipe for disaster but we always find a way out of it. I walk through to the kitchen to find the rest of the lads eating breakfast. Of course they would, they're always up before me. As I sit down for breakfast Paul walks in addressing the times for the day. It goes something like this:

9:00 Radio 1 interview

10:00 Capital FM Radio

11:00 BBC Radio 2 Interveiw

11:30 Photoshoot for SHOUT Magazine

13:30 Photoshoot for Top of the pops magazine

14:30 Video shooting

20:00 Back to hotel

I look over at the other boys. We all give each other the same look. None of of can be bothered to do all tis. Don't get me wrong we all love our jobs but sometimes it can get really busy. I just hope I can make it through today without having an asthma attack.

We arrive at the second interview and so far everything is alright but I can feel my chest tightening a bit. Luckily I have my inhaler in my pocket. I inhale it quickly before anyone can see and then head along to the dressing room. The other lads hadn't noticed that I had slagged behind. They know I have asthma and they know on days like this I am prone to getting attacks but I usually tell one of the boys by now but we are so busy I don't want to bother them. We are called to the studio and to be honest the interview was quite funny. Niall ended up on the floor laughing and he had tears running down his face. Niall can always cheer me up when I'm down and that interview was exactly what I needed. It took my mind off of the asthma.

It wasn't for long though. We were halfway through the interview when my chest starts tightening again. Niall looks over at me and I think he knows somethings wrong.

Niall POV

We are halfway through the interview when I see Zayn holding his chest funny. Shit! It's his asthma! On a day like today its not great. I ask the presenter to stop the interview. The other boys look at me whilst move in front of Zayn.

"Louis go get his inhaler now, Harry go get some water and Liam go and find Paul." They all nod only just aware of what is going on.

Zayn is now hyperventilating and I look right into his eyes.

"Zayn, buddie look at me. That's good. Put your hand on my chest, feel it going up and down yeh? Up and down, in and out. Copy that." I say trying to stay calm. I usually help Zayn through these attacks and i have seen plenty of them before but they still make me scared. I just have to push my anxiety out of the window and get on with it.

Zayn starts to try and breath properly in time with me but I can tell that if Louis doesn't return with his inhaler anytime soon he's gonna pass out and I'll probably have a panic attack myself. Just then I hear 4 pairs of footsteps. Louis passes me his inhaler and I press it down where he inhales it twice.

He soon starts to breathe properly again. Paul takes over my spot whilst Harry passes over the water. I fall back releasing the breath I didn't know I was holding. Louis rubs my back making sure I'm ok. He knows I'm prone to panic attacks in situations like this.

We take Zayn back to the bus where I stay with him for the rest of the interview.
