oh. my. god. i. cannot. breathe.

we have 2 interviews today and i can't do this. not today. not right now. oh god

i couldn't sleep last night. just stared at the ceiling for hours

after getting ready and making myself semi presentable, i got into the car and it was so hot in there

the other boys were just talking and laughing with their hoodies on, as it was january and quite cold outside, but i pulled my hoodie off because it was so hot

they all looked back at me and zach turned to face me, since he was sitting next to me

then i realized i had been breathing really loudly

"uh s-sorry."

"it's fine bro. just be quiet."

i nodded, not wanting any more attention on me

they all turned back and went back to their conversation, while zach's eyes were still glued to me, i could feel it

i gulped nervously and turned to face him

"y-yes?"

i mentally cursed myself for stuttering and took a deep breath as my lungs felt compressed

"are you ok? you don't look so hot."

i sighed sympathetically at my younger band mate and rubbed my hand up and down his arm

he grabbed my hand and held it in his

"dani answer me."

"i'm fine z, don't worry."

"please tell me if somethings wrong. i don't want you to feel like you can't talk."

well that's exactly how i feel

"ok i will."

he smiled and nodded, not letting go of my hand

"we're here boys."

i groaned and stood up slowly, not wanting to overdo anything, still feeling awful

we walked up a few flights of stairs and i had to stop and bend over, my hands on my knees, trying to breathe

c'mon daniel in and out it's not that hard damnit

i took a deep breath and stood up, following the boys into a small room, great

it was really hot in there and i felt like getting into a giant tub of ice

i sat down on the end of the couch with zach next to me

he was laughing along with the other boys while we waited for the interviewer, but i could barely make out what they were saying

i jumped when i felt a hand on my shoulder, taking a relieving breath as it was just zach

"yeah?"

"are you sure you're ok? you look really hot."

"i'm fine zach. i'm going to the bathroom."

i stood up and ignored the stinging in my ribs

"wait! i'm coming with you."

i sighed and felt his hand back on my shoulder as he caught up behind me
