Harper was sitting at a booth with Jake, the two had moved from the car to a table inside a local restaurant that Jake had been to a few times before. It was different than anything Harper had ever ate before but she was all about trying new things, right?

Just after the waitress had taken their orders Harper felt blood start pounding in her ears as she felt like she couldn't quite catch her breath, each breath she took was more deep than the last but no matter how hard she tried she felt like she couldn't get air into her lungs.

"I-I be back" She whispered with a fake smile before running to the bathroom as fast as she could, locking the door behind her before leaning against it- trying as hard as possible to catch her breath but it only got worse.

Grabbing her rose gold phone from her jean pocket she took it out as fast as possible, her shaking hands went to Corbyns contact and pressed the call button. She had no idea what was happening to her, but she did know that she needed Corbyn, she needed to hear his voice, she needed him to tell her it would be okay.

"Hey Harp!" Corbyn's voice said happily as he answered the phone, the panicked girl could almost hear the smile on his face as he answered.

"C-Corbyn, I can't breathe" she whispered as tears fell down her face- her knees becoming weak as her back hit lightly against the wooden bathroom door.

"Harper what's going on? Where are you?" He asked, his total demeanour changing when he heard the fear and panic in her voice.

"I-I don't know, we were just eating and then sud-denly I couldn't breath and now I'm crying and I just-don't know what's happening" she cried as she slid down the wall- her legs no longer being able to support herself. Harper started to feel light headed.

"What did you tell me you wanted to do when one of us flew out to visit each other"Corbyn asked, the girl didn't understand what that had to do with anything but she went along the best she could while trying to calm down.

"Go for a long drive and make you l-listen to my horrible sing-ing" she hiccupped as she rested her forehead on her free palm while the other one held her phone up to her ear.

"And then what would we do after that?" He asked.

"Well I'd make you buy me food somew-here. We both know h-how hangry the queen can get" she told him, at this point her breathing had started to some what return back to normal and the tears had mostly stopped.

"There's an amazing nacho house on the boardwalk we could go to, and if you'd be lucky enough I might even take some great pictures of you by the sunset just so you can share with the world that you spent the day with the most amazing guy" Corbyn told her. Harper placed the back of her head against the door and bit back an grin.

"Zach Efron is gonna be there?"

"Wow, that hurt me Harper Wallace, my heart is broken now" the blonde boy told her sounding fake hurt while a stupid grin broke out on his face.

"Listen, I gotta go before Jake things I've left him. I'm gonna ask him to take me home, I'll call you later tonight okay?"

"Okay Harp"

"Hey bean?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you"

"I love you back Harper"

And with that Corbyn hung up, feeling a little more broken than he ever had before.
