'Dan! Dan, listen to me. Jesus Christ! Okay come here, sit down.' Kyle grabbed Dan by the waist before he fell over. He sat him down on the sofa and than sat next to him rubbing his back comfortingly.
'It's okay, just breath.' Kyle had been in this sort of situation before: only a couple times before though. The first time being when the guys went out to eat. It had been a week since then and luckily Dan was coping quite well. But things like these were an obvious way to trigger his panic attacks.
He stayed sitting with Dan doing his usual to calm him. After about a minute, Dan started to breathe normally again. His heart rate went down and he stopped shaking. He still look a sickly pale though.
He looked up at Kyle and collapsed in his arms crying.
'Shhh babe, it's okay. Come here.' He held onto Dan like if he were to let go, he would loose him forever.
Dan cried in his arms for what felt like an hour. But Kyle didn't mind one bit.
Kyle could tell that Dan had calmed down a bit so he started to speak.
'Danny, listen okay.' Dan looked up, his eyes were stinging red. 'I was saying to your Mum, we might need like just under a week off tour. You're Dad is currently in a coma. He only has seven days to wake up or his chance of survival will decrease a lot.' He could see the tears forming again in Dan's eyes. He hated this so much...
'But what about the shows?...The fans?'
'We can cancel the next maybe 3 or so shows and just push the rest back slightly. It'll be alright Danny, I'm sure the fans will understand.'
'Can you come with me Kyle?'
'Of course, anything you want babe.'
Dan and Kyle sit close together as the crew are talking.
'So, we can cancel three shows and reschedule them and then push a few of the others back okay?' Dick scribbled down notes on a piece of paper while he spoke.
'What shall we say to the fans?'
'If you guys just write a tweet to them. You don't have to go into details but just say how it's family issues and that the shows will be rescheduled.'
'Alright, Thanks Dick.'
'We're all going to head back home for a few days too, we'll book a flight for tomorrow though.' Woody said as he rubbed Dan's back.
'You alright babe?' Kyle took ahold of Dan's hand as they sat on the plane. They had first class so it was pretty private and they had quite a lot of space.
'Hmmm' Dan nodded slightly and took his earphones out. 'I'm just...Nervous.'
'It'll be alright. You will be alright.'
'Kyle..?'
'Yeah?'
'Please don't leave me.' Dan turned to face Kyle. There was pain in his eyes. Not physical pain, but emotional. Kyle could see how much of a hard time Dan was going through and how much he was falling apart on the inside. He wanted to be the one to help keep Dan together.
'Of course I won't leave you. Why, do you think I would?'
'No. I just had a dream that you left me for someone else. Someone better-'
'Hey.' Kyle put his arm around Dan and pulled him into a slight hug. 'No one is better than you Danny. I'm not going to leave you, I'd be crazy to do such a thing.'
'Promise?'
'I promise.'
