Jc's POV

    The room was dark with little light peeking through the crack in the double doors. I was in a closet. My body was pressed against something hard and I looked up to something green."Why are we in a closet?" I whisper to Connor. 

"Shhh...it's Ok...we're fine." He answered.  He gently grabbed the side of my face and tried to push his lips against mine. 

"Why are we in a closet,though? Are we hiding?" He just answers with a simple nod. I finally let him peck my lips a few times. But then I pull away to ask more questions."But who are we hiding from?" 

He sighed, "She's not gonna find us in here..." 

"Who...Alexa?"

Then everything started shaking in my dream. Connor and I were looking around to grasp something, but we fell down. 

And that's when I woke up. I gasped and sat up abruptly in my bed. Why was my dream shaking. But I answered my own question when I realised that everything was still shaking. I kicked the covers off me, and before I could even scream, Ricky was already doing it, "Earthquake! Everybody GET.DOWN!"

The first thing I thought of was to grab a pillow to protect my head. And when I rolled off the bed, I couldn't get up, everything was so unbalanced. So I stumbled back to the floor. I could feel one of my panic attacks starting. The only problem was...that I hadn't had one since I was eight, and Justin was the only one that could calm me down. 

 And he wasn't here. 

I screamed for help, not being able to breath. I've never been in an earthquake before. (And when I get woken up like this...I'm emotional.)

I thought it was the earthquake slamming open my door, but it wasn't. I was swooped off the ground and automatically under my desk in the corner. I felt something tightly pressed against me, and my head was smothered in someones chest. 

I couldn't move my head up, because whoever was protecting me, had a tight grip. I held my ears because glass was breaking on the house and it was loud, the rumbling, too. My feet were sticking from under the desk, and I had to tuck it to my chest. 

The shaking stopped, and so did the panicking. Finally, they let me lift my head. When I noticed Connor's hair, I hugged him tight, not knowing I was crying before. "Are you OK?"

I hugged him really tight, and I didn't let go.

    "I just do understand how Kian slept through that earthquake this morning..." It was now 11:00 at night, and Connor was still talking about it. We were laying in his bed, because he was scared another quake would start when we were seperated. "So...earlier today...you were having a panic attack?"

"Yeah...but it was quite strange for me because I hadn't had one since I was like eight. And my brother was the only one that could calm me down." I answered, still laying on chest. He was wearing a white Tee and pajama pants when I had on a pair of shorts and a tank-top. 

"Jc... have you ever been to the HollyWood Sign?"

"Just like I've never injected drugs into my system because it's illegal." I look up at him. 

He chuckles,"You know...sometimes a simple yes or no is appreciated." I just laugh, "Anyway...what do you say to a hike tomorrow..."

"You wanna hike up to the HollyWood sign?" he answers with a simple nod, so I sit up and face him completley, "Connor, I thought you hated excercise." I crosses my legs and he is still laying down.
