Hours of sitting in mostly silence later I was officially back to my normal self, or so I Thought and had my head buried in Daniel's chest whilst his arm wrapped around my shoulders. The quiet voices of the boys talking sent me to sleep and I was soon dreaming, letting a soft snore escape my lips sending small vibrations onto Daniel's chest.

Daniel's POV —

I didn't really understand. I knew Ella struggled with big crowds, but I didn't know that it could get that bad. I could still feel her small little body shaking a little and it only made me want to just hold her forever and tell her that everything was okay although we both knew that things like this were never okay. She seemed to be so good at hiding things like this which always made me sad, not to mention the amount of double guessing I would then do. Like, was there a reason she wasn't telling me things like this?

I soon felt her soft snore against my chest and I smiled down at her closed eyes. I turned back to the tv although occasionally looking over at the boys out of the corner of my eye and see them just staring.

"What?" I said catching them all out.

"We just want to know.." Zach said.

"It's none of your business." I snapped.

"Oh come on Daniel. We care for her too."

Jonah was right.

"Panic attack." I whispered.

The boys looked at me then at Ella sleeping and sighed.

"Well. Tell her we're always there for her" Jack smiled and the others nodded in agreement.

I nodded back and I decided to bring up the other thing that had been bothering me.

"..she doesn't feel comfortable with me around you guys. Did you know that?"

Corbyn sighed. "Yeah, we had noticed that."

I nodded awkwardly and looked away.

I saw Jonah scratch the back of his neck whilst the others fiddled and sat there in the awkward silence that was lurking in the room.

I was thinking to say something else but I decided against it and instead Jack spoke.

"We're Sorry Daniel.."

I looked at them and sighed.

"Well you don't do much to encourage our relationship do you?"

They all looked down and nodded.

They all had girlfriends apart from Zach although we all knew he had a crush. I thought that this would mean they had a little more sympathy for me.. but clearly not. I hoped our little discussion would help somehow, maybe change the way they acted around us.

"One more thing..." Jonah said.

I looked up at him.

"Tyler has cancelled the tour."

"What? Why?" I asked.

"He said he didn't want you guys getting the wrong type of attention. We're going to move all the dates. We'll restart in a few months." Corbyn explained.

"Fine by me." I said. "Are you Guys Okay with it?"

"Yeah, it will be a nice break." Jack smiled.

"I.. I hope you're not just saying that." I said.

"Daniel, buddy, who doesn't like a break? It's fine." Jonah replied.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Butt.. we were thinking to go on a group holiday. Gabriela, Tatum and Christina can't make it, but we wouldn't mind if you invited Ella" He added.

"Wait, really?" I smiled.

"Course.. we want to see the "coupley" things you do when we're not around hopefully we can help you out a bit, show Ella that there's no reason to act any different around us." Zach said.

Wow. Wow!!

"Thanks guys..." I smiled. "I really appreciate it"

We spent the next hour or so chatting about the holiday and it really got me excited. We would actually be leaving tomorrow and the boys told me we were going to Switzerland and I couldn't wait to spend more time with Ella.. hopefully as alone as we could get. Although, from what the boys had told me most days were to be filled with group activities and skiing. As long as Ella was there, I would be happy.
