One Direction Sickfics

Panic Attack (Niall Centric)

Niall POV

We are out shopping before we have to go to sound check. Some fans notice us and they ask whether they can take photos with us and chat to us and of course we agree. They are all really nice to us and say how much they love the albums and once we have finished our chats with them we move on. We go into a Nike store and Louis and Harry are mucking around with the footballs whilst Liam and I are checking out the trainers. I of course love NIKE sneakers so we spent ages down that isle. I must have tried on about 20 pairs of them before I decided on a pair to get. Liam just stood there and shook his head not believing how it could take so long.

We payed for them and collected Harry and Louis (after a lot of persuading) from the footballs. My chest started to feel a bit tight thinking about the crowds but thankfully there were none there so we were fine and I eased a little. We made our way to the venue for tonight and a few fans had come out to see us and we all said hello and asked them how they were and took pictures with them.

When we got inside we headed straight to the stage so that we could do sound check and then just chill. As we were walking past the smoking area one of the security guards, Chris I think, blew all over the area we were walking through. It soon reached my lungs and I burst out into a coughing fit but luckily Louis had my inhaler and realised what was going on. I quickly inhaled it and instantly felt my lungs open.

"You alright Ni?"

"Fine now thanks, just the smoke" I said as convincingly as I could although I could still feel the tightness in my chest. Hopefully sound check will go ok.

At the moment sound check couldn't be going worse. Liam's mic wasn't working so we had to wait for that to be sorted hiker my guitar wasn't playing to the right volume either so Liam was shouting at the sound team saying that they should have checked this before we goth there. Harry and Louis were also joining in the conversation so I decided that I would slip away. My chest was starting to tighten even more and I could feel a panic attack coming on. Sometimes they could come out of the blue but I knew that this time it was because people were arguing and it reminds me of when I used to get bullied, badly.

I sprint past all the security guards, none of them noticing me desperately trying to find the toilets. Finally after many minutes of running back and forth down the hallway I found them right at the very end.

I ran straight in and locked myself in a cubical. My breathing started to get heavier and heavier. I wanted to ring Louis or one of the other boys but I couldn't reach my phone and I could feel myself slipping away. By now I'm sure I'm hyperventilating. I see Louis face pop up in front of me. He tells me to breath in and out. I opened my mouth to try and tell him I couldn't but all went black. I welcomed the unconsciousness.

Louis POV

We are at sound check at the moment and Liam's mic wasn't working so Harry Liam and I went to talk (or in Liam's case shout) at the sound people. After 15 minutes however it was clear that this debate was just going round in circles, round and round again and again. I look over at Harry and we both nod. I grab one arm and Harry grabs the other pulling him away from the sound team. We both apologised and then sit Liam down on the stage.

"Li, you have to calm down, they are doing their jobs in the most professional way possible." I said whilst raising my eyebrow.

"Ni wouldn't want it either would you Ni?" Harry adds.

No reply.

"Ni??" I ask a bit louder.

Still no response.

I turn behind me ready to see Niall staring at Twitter or tuning his guitar but instead he's not anywhere to be seen at all.

I decided to ring him but there was no response.
