Poppy's P.O.V:

2 hours flew by and before we knew it, me and Olivia were slowly shuffling towards the exit. The concert was amazing. The songs were perfect. Olivia's voice had gone from screaming out the words. The only downfall was two girls beside where we were standing were screaming things like:

"LUKE LOOKED AT ME, HE FUCKING LOOKED AT ME"

"HE WINKED AT ME, DID YOU SEE THAT?"

"FUCK ME LUKEEEE IM YOURS"

I swear they were drunk. Me and Olivia had a great time though. I'd never expected it to go like this. By the end of the show, as Luke said 'We are 5 Seconds Of Summer, goodnight, we love you', me and Olivia were red in the face with beads of sweat on our foreheads. It had been the best night and now me and Olivia were trapped in a crowd of chatting girls like us, shuffling out the arena.

By now, everyone was shoulder to shoulder. People had started to get impatient causing them to shove through the crowds. A broad girl with blonde hair behind us was barging through the crowd. Girls were stumbling from her strong push, some even falling over. She didn't seem to care. A few seconds later she was towering over me, not even blinking in my direction. She pushed through me with her shoulder causing me to fall onto Olivia a small scream coming out of my mouth. As Olivia helped me up my breathing had quickened and as I looked a round everything was spinning. People were coming closer and closer to me, I didn't like this. I heard a laugh from a girl next to me. Was she laughing at me? Why can't I see anything clearly? I couldn't breath. The almost empty arena behind me was all blurry but the few people around me made me panic. Everyone was huddled together and the air had slowly vanished. I felt like I was going to be sick, I couldn't do this. I grabbed Olivia.

"Poppy? Talk to me Poppy, what's wrong?"

I didn't reply, I was too focused on finding air. It felt like my lungs had slowly collapsed. Olivia had grabbed my hands. I screamed at the shock of contact and fought her off me. People were looking at me now. They were concerned and they were surrounding me, asking if I was okay. No no no too many people. I felt like they were swallowing me whole. I didn't feel safe. What was I supposed to do? I suddenly realised I was screaming for help.
"HELP ME HELP ME"
People were looking at me weirdly.
I was crying and I... Black. It all went black. The pain went. I could breath again.

Olivia's P.O.V:

I slowly helped Poppy up whilst squinting at the girl who had pushed her to the ground. She was already ahead of us before I could say anything. Poppy was now stood up frantically looking around her, her chest rapidly moving up and down. I didn't know what was wrong. She looked panicked. She immediately grabbed my hands.

"Poppy? Talk to me Poppy, what's wrong?" I asked the worry clear in my voice. This girl was my world. The pain she felt, was the pain I felt.

She didn't reply. She was looking around gasping. I quickly examined her:
Her face was still red from the concert.
Her eyes were widened in terror. There was definitely something wrong.
Her hands were positioned awkwardly. She couldn't move them.

I grabbed her hands, trying to force her to look up into my eyes. She was a little smaller then me. She always had but that's one of the things I loved about her. Her reaction was unexpected. She snatched her hands away making me take a step backwards. I knew she was in a terrible state but it still hurt. Then I realised. She had had a panic attack.

By now, girls and their mums were cautiously walking over to her asking her if she was okay. This was making her more scared.

"Leave her alone! She needs space, she'll be fine", I shouted, tears forming in my eyes.
This girl meant everything to me and seeing her like this was horrible.
They obeyed and the mums quickly huddled their daughter out of the arena, scared as to what Poppy was going to do next.

"HELP ME, HELP ME PLEASE, HELP ME"
She was now screaming for help. The very few people that were left including the workers/guards were looking at her oddly. Over and over again she screamed. Her screams echoed around the arena. I was too scared to go up to her but I needed to hug her. I needed to tell her it will be alright. I took the risk. I ran up to her, the tears now forming in my eyes. THUD. Before I reached she'd gone. The arena went quiet. I was soon knelt down beside her. I checked her pulse just incase something had happened. Relief flooded through me. She was okay. She'd just fainted I guess.

"Poppy, cmon on poppy, it's okay, shh, wake up".

The workers had started running over to us. A muscly man had got there first. He gently touched my shoulder causing me to turn around. His appearance was blurred through my tears.

"Whats happened? Is she okay?" He said softly.

"She fainted, I don't know why, I think she was having a panic attack and it all go too much, I'm so worried" I sobbed. I had started stroking her hair. It had become a habit now.

"What's you're name?"

"Olivia"

"Well Olivia, don't worry okay? you're going to come with me backstage and we will treat her and wait until she wakes up, our first aider will check her out then we will see what goes on from there"He said softly.

The I recognised him. It was the manager. I recognised his deep voice. He had a Manchester accent. I knew it from their keeks. It was 5 Seconds Of Summers manager. I stared at him for a few moments then my thoughts flew back to Poppy which snapped me out of my gaze.

"Um yeah uh sure, thank you so much, um" I stuttered. I probably looked a drowned mess but I didn't care. I just needed Poppy.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine, I'll carry her"

He lifted her up and I followed him through a doorway and down some stairs. All I could think about was Poppy. I needed her as much and she needed me. I never want to leave her side. Ever. I was too focused on where we were going until we stopped in a bright coloured room full of men and women.

Then I saw them. Michael, Calum, Luke, Ashton.
