Wait What?!?! You're a Winston???

Ever had a bigger panic attack?

CHAPTER 8

Francescas POV

It had been a few hours since I told Dal we'll stay home tonight. He looked to be drifting off in Darry's chair.

"Oi, Dal, ready to go home yet?" I said more of a statement than I question. He just nodded his head and slipped his leather jacket and shoes on.

I felt Soda's arms tighten round my waist before I squeezed his thigh and turned around to get a goodnight kiss. The kiss lasted about 10 seconds before we had to catch our breath coz humans have to breathe ya know.

I blushed as our foreheads were pressed against each other's. I gave him a quick hug before standing up to slip my converse on. Pony handed me my jacket before Soda pinched it and slipped in on my arms. He then kissed my neck, probably leaving a hickey. Dal would've killed him if he saw it.

"Goodnight y'all" I shouted before we walked out the door heading home.

It took a good fifteen minutes to walk back to our house. When we got in I placed my shoes on the stairs and my jacket on the hook before telling Dal I'd clean up whilst he goes to catch some Zs.

We hadn't been here for a few days, well I haven't anyway. But I could see how Dal had thrown things around whilst looking for something.

I threw away all the candy wrappers before placing the beer bottles in the bin and putting the cushions on the couch in their correct places. It looked a lot cleaner than before.

I wasn't really tired right now, so I went upstairs to put on a huge t-shirt a stoke from Dal when I got here and some short shorts, which you couldn't see for the shirt hanging over them, and then went downstairs to read a book.

~ 30 minutes later ~

It was only 11:30 so I decided I'd bake some cookies before heading up to bed. I had slept most of the day on Soda's lap so I wasn't so tired.

I grabbed the flour, eggs, milk and butter and was about to grab some food coloring and chocolate chips before I heard a Big Bang from out side.

At first I was startled, then I heard it again and felt fear growing inside of me. I was sat on the kitchen floor shaking, I wanted Dally right now but I couldn't move or say a word. Another bang went off but it was louder this time.

Then Dallas walked through to the kitchen and saw me sitting here before running over to me. I didn't even realize I was crying until his wiped my cheek and said soothing words to me.

All of a sudden he started singing one of my favorite songs to me to try calm me down.

Monsters ~ Katie Sky

"I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away"
Dal sang those words to me so soothingly, I joined in.

"A cup of coffee still steaming
Staring back at me, it's blacker than the night
I'm awake but still sleeping
I keep telling myself I'll be alright (I won't)
And I know it can't get worse than today
Sitting here and she's trying to rehearse what to say
See, she's in the bathroom hoping I'm not in earshot
While she's getting used to the sound of a teardrop (Splash)
It hits the tile
And I know it's been a while since you seen me
Smile and laugh like I used to
I've been in denial since it happened
Just take me to the past
'Cause I just can't imagine losing you (too)
I can't explain this so I'll keep it all inside
Wear my pain, but it's masked by my pride
She came to hold me and she cried
Told me this as she stared into my eyes, said
I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
I can't
You won't like what you see
If you were in my head and had to hear my pleas
It's like
I can't believe this is happening to me
And could someone please shut this fucking answering machine
So I can start leaving these messages
That you will never get
And all these cries for help
You'll never see and never check
But I guess it's easy for you to leave me
But believe me
See this isn't something that Imma just forget
I would trade it all for one more minute
Don't you see I really need you to talk to
I'm still sitting here wondering who did it
While I'm staring out our front door
Knowing you'll never walk through
Said you'd come right back
And now you're gone like that
A blank stare as I stand so alone
And know you're never coming home (damn)
I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away
I got a heart made of fool's gold
Got me feeling so cold
But you chipping away
All the promises that I told
Felt like I was on those
But keep slipping away
I want nobody else
But it's hard to get to know me
When I don't know myself
And it helps
'Cause I felt
I was down, I was out
Then you looked at me now
And said
I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay
When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away"

Dally always knew I loved this song. It always calmed me down when I was a child. After the song he was sat cross cross on the kitchen floor which me sat on his legs whilst he cradled me.

I felt so safe in Dallas' arms, it reminded me so much of when we were younger.

Dally's POV

I heard a massive bang which woke me up, at first I thought it was just Frankie messing around or dropping something. I then heard it again and realized that it can't be her, it went off once more before I heard a quiet squeal.

I had to go see what it was, I walked down the stairs and was about to see where the noise was coming from before I saw Frankie having a full blown panic attack, sitting on the kitchen floor. I ran over to her and she couldn't speak or move, just sat there rocking back and forth shaking more than I've ever seen her shake before.

I had to do what anyone would do if they loved someone, and I loved my sister and had to protect her from the world.

I remember that when she was younger she loved to sing and it was always the same song when she wanted to try stop herself from having a panic attack or when she was upset or scared.

I started singing it which caused her shaking to calm only a tiny bit before I sat her on my knee and she started singing too. When the song was finished my shirt was soaking with her tears. I don't think over ever seen her so scared in my life, I wasn't there for much of her life but I'm sure she's not been scared this much before.

I felt so bad leaving her by herself. I then realized she had fallen asleep in my arms and there was a cracked egg and flour all over the floor.

I softly leant her against the counter before cleaning the egg and flour deciding I'd clean it properly in the morning. I then picked her up before taking her up the stairs and setting her in her bed.

She looked so cute and innocent while sleeping, which reminded me of when we were younger.

I kissed her forehead before whispering goodnight and going back to bed.
