Grayson's pov:
~
I felt James grip my side as I heard Ethan shuffle out of the room.

Maybe they did care.

I hugged James back , his familiar sweet scent filled my nostrils.

I almost forgot about my friends. My best friends.

James began to pull away a little, but I still clung to him very tightly.

"Grayson?" He whispered.

I didn't want to let go.
I was terrified he was gonna leave.

I didn't want to be alone.

I really don't want to be alone

"Grayson? What's going?" James said , I could tell he was confused.

I clung to him tighter, I needed love
I wasn't letting go.

It was like everything was hitting me at once. All this built up emotion and self hatred.
It was all coming out now.

"Don't go , please don't go, please" I grip on to James again.

He was gonna leave I could tell.

No please don't.

I kept telling myself he was trying to leave. That they all were trying to.

James' pov:
~
Grayson gripped at me tightly and I was almost scared he was going to crush me.

He was muttering to himself about people leaving.

"Grayson I'm not leaving okay?" I reassured him.

He was trembling more now.

I was scared now.
I didn't know what to do.

"I'm- hav-ing a-a— pan-ic-a-a-a" He croaked out.

A panic attack, that's what this was.
you can do this James.

"It's okay Gray, can you breathe with me?" I tried to help him.

He began to cry now.

"Don't leave-e pl-please!!!" He sobbed into me , clinging very tightly.

"Okay Gray , I just need to you let go for a second okay?" I wasn't sure I could handle his weight on my small frame.
I felt like I was being crushed.

"I'm trying to help you , okay?" I say , gently patting his back.

I hear Ethan come back in room.

"Oh fuck , shit I should have stayed , I'm sorry!!" He rushes over and lifts Grayson off me.

I watch Ethan closely trying to take in his methods of calming Gray down.

Grayson was in hysterics now, I had never seen him cry like this.

His body was curled up , as he lay on his side gripping his hair tightly with his hands.

"Grayson! Listen to me please okay?!" Ethan raises his voice.

Grayson was gasping for air now.
My stomach sunk.
I wanted to help but I was clueless.

I looked around his room and decided to tidy away some of the mess while Ethan tried to calm him down.

I was trying to be somewhat productive and helpful.

"Can you open up the window a little?" Ethan turned towards me.

I walked over to the window and unlatched it.
A small breeze brushed against my skin.

I turned back around, Grayson was lying on his back now with Ethan pinning him down gently.

Grayson howled in pain now.
It was a heart broken cry.

The kind that makes a persons voice break.

The one that holds the pain in.

The one that made my heart drop.

His cry's slowly became croaks.
I sat on the bed next to Ethan now.

"Now we breathe okay?" Ethan gripped his brothers hand.

Grayson followed Ethan's breaths, which became slower.

"I'm sorry" Gray whispers.
