I woke up in the car, but I was stretched across the boys' legs instead of sitting up by the door.
Then the memories of my panic attack came flooding back to me, and tears blurred my vision.
"She's awake," Niall whispered to Zayn.
"I'm really sorry, guys," I apologized.
"It's ok," Louis replied. "Elise told us you were prone to panic attacks. We kind of expected it."
I nodded. "I've had panic attacks on about a weekly basis since my parents died. Get ready. Did Elise give you my plan?"
"Yeah," Liam answered. "When you have a panic attack, we're supposed to leave you to stay blacked out until you wake up on your own, then you have to have a cup of hot tea ASAP and we give you your bear." He held out my bear, who was named Boobear.
"Thanks." I grabbed Boobear. "His name's Boobear."
Everyone looked at Louis.
"What?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
"That's one of my nicknames, is all," Louis explained.
"Oh, how funny."
"So," Harry cut in. "We're going to the mall to get stuff for your bedroom and clothes."
"Ok."
We got to the mall and walked in. The smell of cinnamon rolls, new clothes, and coffee filled my nose.
My mouth dropped open. The last time I was in a mall was on the weekend that my parents died. I didn't remember it at all. But this mall was HUGE.
The boys led me to a Starbucks. They ordered me my tea. I drank it while we walked to one end of the mall. Then we started going into shops.
We started at the Converse store. I got hot pink knee-high sneaker boots and turquoise low-tops.
Next came JCPenny, where I stocked up on shirts and pants.
We kept shopping and shopping until we hit Victoria's Secret.
"D-Do you need any of this stuff?" Niall stammered.
"NO!" Liam screamed. "I mean, can't she get underwear somewhere else?"
"I don't care," Harry chuckled.
"Neither do I," Louis jumped in.
"Zayn?"
"I don't care."
So Harry pulled a $50 bill out of his pocket and pushed me into the store.
I started blushing like crazy when the (male) salesman smiled at me gently. "Can I help you?"
I cleared my throat. "My... Parents thought I needed underwear and bras and stuff."
"Ok, here's stuff that'll probably fit you." He led me to some racks full of lacy, stripy, and spotted underwear and bras.
I quickly grabbed the stuff that would fit me and then chose my favorites. Then I paid and ran out of there.
"What did you get?" Harry asked me.
I blushed again. "Stuff. I'm hungry."
Louis grabbed my hand and pulled me up to a Cinnabon. "What do you want?"
"A bowl of middles!!!" I screeched.
I sat down with my cinnamon roll middles and ate quickly. "What now?"
"We keep shopping!" Liam replied.
So we shopped until my feet hurt and I had at least 20 bags. Each boy had at least 10 bags.
"So, that covers clothes. Now to room décor!" Harry announced.
I groaned, but we proceeded to buy me a set of sheets that were midnight blue. I love the ocean, so we also got paint to paint my room ocean blue-green. I was going to have little bubble projections floating up my walls. Then on my ceiling we would put a sun that looked like it was underwater, yellow with little light squiggles floating outward. Zayn was going to take care of it tomorrow.
I was going to love this.
