The boys were very used to travelling all around the US. Ever since they started the band, they were touring almost constantly. It was easier to get around in the Us though, they just drove around in their tour bus. The boys knew of Zach's motion sickness and they were always there for him when he needed them. They were still yet to travel on a plane together. Tomorrow they were flying to Europe to begin their first tour out of the US. Zach was still young and had bad travel sickness on planes ever since he could remember. His family even stopped going on holiday by plane as Zach would always get sick or have a panic attack and the stress was too much for the young boy the handle. When he found out they had booked their first tour dates in the UK he was ecstatic but incredibly nervous as the only way you could get their is by plane.

He was too scared of telling the boys of his sickness and he thought he could contain himself. They were flying tomorrow morning and as time went on and they got closer to the time they boarded, his anxiety increased.

" Zach, you alright? " Jonah said, breaking the young boy out of his dazed state.

" Yeah I'm fine, just thinking "

" Well if your sure. Tell me if something is up bubs, you don't have to hide anything from us" Jonah said comfortingly.

Zach left the room to go and pack his hand luggage. He packed his anxiety pills, the boys knew he took them daily, every tour they did and all the motion sickness gave him great anxiety and the medication help him to try and stay on top of it.

The next morning the boys got in their Uber to the airport. Zach was sat in the middle of Jack and Jonah in the middle row of seats and tried to focus on staring out the window.

" What's up, you're not your bubbly self " Jonah whispered in the boys ear, repeating what he said the previous day, clearly noticing the boys unusually quiet demeanour.

Zach just shook his head in response. Jonah knew something was up straight away. He put his arm around the smaller boy and pulled him into his chest. He ran his fingers gently through his chestnut brown hair, receiving small sighs from the boys frail body.

When they arrived at the airport, Jonah kept an eye on the young boy. He walked right by his side as if to show him a sign of support and comfort.

When it was time to bird, Zach's anxiety began to increase. His breaths got shorter and quicker and he tried to grab onto Jonah for support.

" hey hey hey what's wrong Zachy? " Jonah said in a worried tone. All the boys noticed and shared worries glances. Jonah instantly realised the boy was having a panic attack and knew that if it got much worse it would active his asthma. He knew what he had to do to help him.

" Deep breaths, that's it " Jonah comforted the boy, Jack was gripping onto the youngest boy's hand. Daniel was running his fingers through the boy's hair while Corbyn searches Zach's bag for his inhaler.

Corbyn passed the inhaler to Jonah who placed it at Zach's mouth and helped him use it until he could breath properly on his own again.

When he calmed down a bit, they boarded the plane, Zach's hand tightly gripped onto Daniel's for support. They quickly found their seats and sat down. Jonah and Corbyn sat either side of Zach and Daniel and Jack sat right behind them with Tyler.

As soon as the seat belt sign appeared, Zach instantly get nauseous. Jonah and Corbyn noticed his quick movements to try and lay down.

" try to get comfortable, you can rest your head on my shoulder bub " Corbyn said to the boy.

Zach gladly excepted the offer and gently rested his head on the blonde's shoulder, trying to take deep breaths and calm himself down.

" Jo, Jo I don't feel well " Zach whined only a couple minutes after they took off. Corbyn got out of his seat and helped Zach to the toilet. Jonah waited outside the door, hating every moment of hearing one of his best friends in pain on the other side of the door. He heard cries of pain and he winced each time.

He appeared out of the door a couple minutes later, incredibly pale. He almost collapsed in Jonah as he was clearly worn out from being sick. The rest of the way there he gripped onto Jonah's hand and the boys all comforted him.

After they arrived, they realised they would have to get through a large crowd of fans. Zach always got really anxious in big groups of people and Jonah knew that adding how sick he felt to the mix would not work out well. Jack helped Zach onto Jonah's back and Jonah carried him straight through the crowd. He placed him in their taxi and did his seatbelt up for him. He kept him stable the whole ride to the hotel.

When they arrived, Jonah carried Zach up to his room and placed him on his bed. The whole night Zach was recovering from motion sickness. The boys decided to not ask him any questions until he felt a bit better at least.

When he woke up to see all his best friends sat around him on the bed he was shocked.

" Hey, don't worry it's just us " Daniel assured the boy.

Zach explained his sickness to the boys and they all agreed that they would help him get through it. They had their first show of the European leg of the tour that evening and luckily, apart from a little bit of understandable jet lag, Zach was feeling much better.

The boys still kept a close eye on him and he promised to tell them whenever he felt anxious or sick and they would help.

He really couldn't wish for better friends, they looked after him at all time and loved him more than he could ever comprehend.
