Friend Zoning Austin Mahone

Chapter 16 - 1

- Austin -

Panic disorder: People with this condition have feelings of terror that strike suddenly and repeatedly with no warning. Other symptoms of a panic attack include sweating, chest pain, palpitations (unusually strong or irregular heartbeats, sometimes results in fainting), and a feeling of choking, which may make the person feel like he or she is having a heart attack or "going crazy."

I strolled down too the hotel's lobby, then walked over too the front desk.

"Excuse me Miss, but where's the gym and recreational room?" I inquired, flashing a bright smile.

"I'm sorry, but the recreational room is being used as a private dance studio. Our gym-"

"I know its being used as a dance studio. I'm the reason it is."

The woman's eyes brightened, then she shuffled around, looking for something. "Austin? Mahone?"

I nodded, then she handed me a room card that was labeled "Rec Room". I thanked her the made my way down too the recreational room.

Unlocking the door, I tripped over a Nike gym bag. I was tempted to kick it to the side.

I spotted Joshua, my main backup dancer, and Amelia talking behind a closed door. He demonstrated a series of dance moves, Mel nodded them attempted to do them. Joshua clapped, then the made their way back into the main rec room, and onto the the miniature stage.

"Morning, guys!" I yelled from the back of the rec room. Mel jumped, then promptly fell off the edge of the stage with a loud thud.

A series of swears escaped my lips, I hoped out of my seat, then rushed too her side.

"Mel?" I murmured, as Joshua jumped down of the stage too where Amelia and I were. I looked up at him. "She's unconscious."

Joshua quickly dialed Robert's number, telling him too get down to the rec room, and that Amelia was hurt.

"Whats the hospital's number?" Robert yelled, followed by all of our friends.

"We don't need a hospital, we-"

"What the fuck happened?" Hunter shouted, shoving me away from Amelia, then rested her head in his lap. He looked up at me. "How'd she fall?"

"I think I startled her-"

"Austin, why'd you do that? You know Mel has an anxiety disorder. You cant go around scaring her like that."

Mel has an anxiety disorder? "I didn't know she had an anxiety disorder! She never told me! How was I supposed too know she'd fall or faint I -"

"You'd be more cautious if you actually cared about her!" Hunter snapped, looking me dead in the eyes.

I wasn't even angry, just nervous about Amelia's wellbeing ; but Hunter's word sent me off the edge.

"What the actual fuck? What makes you think that I don't care about her? Mel and I have been friends for years now, so how dare you, who ain't shit by the way, say I don't care about her? You've only been in her like for like an hour, I've been here for years now! So on the real, you should really shut up because-" I paused, contemplating the end of end of my sentence. "I love her more than you ever will."

I swear everyone in the room stops rambling, and all I heard is a thump as Stella's phone slipped out of her shaking hands. The room goes quiet.

And then a nurse bursted in.

"No Mum, she's fine. She had a slight concussion, but she's fine." Robert was pacing the room, a look of agitation spread across his face.
