Five still hadn't come back and the others either didn't notice or they didn't care and i don't know what to do or how to find him.

I've touched every single thing he owns in hope for a vision but i didn't get anything and that's causing a panic.

I pace around his room hyperventilating, trying to think where he could be.

"family meeting" Luther yells into the room as he passes by, not bothering to check on me.

I stand there pulling at my hair, shaking as sobs rack through my body.

Tears stream down my face as the panic attack sets in.

Guess losing Five for the second time does things to you.

"Layla?" Klaus's concerned voice questions as he slowly opens the door more to see me panicking.

"Layla" he says again as he rushes in and engulfs me in a hug.

We slowly sink to the floor as i grip his top as my chest tightens and i feel like i can't breath.

"hey hey, its okay" Klaus mutters into my ear as he strokes my hair soothingly.

"just breath, deep breath in and out, just like last time" 

Just like last time,17 years ago. I was on the steps of our house, looking at where Five had disappeared to as Klaus rocks us back and fourth.

Yeah, the last time i had a panic attack was when Five disappeared.

Klaus whispers comforting words in my ear as i focus of breathing in and out, slowly getting my breath back to normal.

After the panic attack was over, we stay embracing on the ground for a couple more minutes before i wipe my eyes and get up.

"thanks Klaus" i mumble to him as i hug him tightly "we better go down before Luther has a fit" i joke as he cracks a smile before we both head down stairs.

"three days?" Allison questions in disbelief as she hands Luther his coffee and i sip on my hot chocolate.

"that's what Five said"

"the old bastard did mention the apocalypse, come to think of it. He just left out the part about how soon" Klaus makes himself comfortable next to me as i repeatedly wipe my eyes, hoping it doesn't look like I've been crying.

"but can we trust him? i don't know if you've noticed, but Five's a little" Allison whistles as she makes a crazy gesture with her finger.

"he's still our brother and we need to have some trust in him" i tell her as everyone looks at me and see my red, puffy eyes.

"oh yeah cause you seem to trust him to come back so much" Luther adds, sarcastically, motioning to my puffy eyes.

I go to stand up and go over to him but Klaus puts an arm in front of me to stop me.

"if Five wasn't trying to stop an apocalypse Hazel and Cha-Cha wouldn't be trying to stop him" i mutter as i plop back down on the couch was a huff.

"that's why they were after him?" Diego questions as i nod my head.

"what did Five even see?" 

"apparently, we all fought together against whoever was responsible" Luther answers rather awkwardly as i look down at my hands, knowing what he didn't want to tell them "okay, so here's the plan, we go though dads research--"

"wait, what" "hold on, hold on" "wait a tick, wait a tick, wait a tick" Alison, Diego and Klaus all say at the same time.

"what actually happened the first time around?" Klaus asks as Luther looks at me for help but i just shrug, he was an asshole so he's on his own for this one.
