Daniel has really bad anxiety and OCD. While on tour, Tyler, his brother and tour manager, helps him cope. Daniel refuses to tell the other boys of his problem, fearing they'll see him as a freak. So what happens when they push his buttons and the t...
I was sitting in the back of the bus, curled up in a blanket, shivering just a little as I watched Netflix on my laptop. Jonah walks in and glances at me, his laptop in hand.
"Hey bub whats up?" I glance at him, my eyes landing on his laptop.
"M'cold." I mumble, pulling my blanket closer to me. Jonah hands me his and I thank him quietly, loving the warmth it brought.
He presses play on his laptop and I can't help but pause mine, my eyes on his screen. I watch in confusion and curiosity as a man in what looked like fur cloaks walked around a forest. The scenery changed and they were in what looked like a castle. It showed a naked man and I could feel my face heat up. A woman comes into the room and she's clothed, but the cloth is see through. I furrow my brows as she starts touching him on his penis.
Corbyn walks in but I pay no mind to him as I watch curiously. Corbyn furrows his brows, walking over and glancing at the screen. His eyes widen and he quickly covers my eyes.
"Um Jonah can you watch that in your bunk? Thank you. I'll explain later." Jonah pauses the show and leaves, sighing. Corbyn uncovers my eyes and I glance at him.
"Why was she touching his penis? I thought Tyler said we can't show that to people?" I ask curiously. Corbyn rubs a hand over his face.
"Um well, fuck how do I explain this? Ok um she was touching him because it feels good when you do." I furrow my brows, glancing at my lap. It feels good when you touch your penis? But I touch my penis to go to the bathroom and nothing happens?
I go to put my hand down my pants when Corbyn quickly stops me.
"Woah buddy slow down. This isn't a good time to try that." I look at him confused, not understanding.
"Do you have to do it? I'm confused." I say as Tyler walks in.
"Does he have to do what?" He asks, taking a swig if his water.
"Touch my penis." He chokes on his water, shooting daggers at Corbyn.
"Woah woah woah, before you get mad at me, I didn't start this. Jonah was watching Game of Thrones and Daniel happened to be watching too. You of all people should know what's on that show. It's practically medieval porn." He says defensively. I look between them confused.
"Wait what's porn?" I ask. Corbyn winces as Tyler shoots him a look that could kill. I started to get mad.
"Why won't you guys tell me anything? You hide everything like it's some big secret and it's annoying." I seethe, getting up and pushing past them, my laptop in hand.
I crawl into my bunk, my blanket still around me as I put in my earbuds and press play on my show, but I'm unable to focus because of my anger. I pause my show, the all too familiar feeling arising. My chest tightens as I cry into my pillow. I was just so frustrated. Why is it so bad for me to know, but everyone else knows?! It didn't make any sense. It's not long before I find it hard to breathe, my eyes slowly rolling back as I lose consciousness.
"Daniel? I'm sorry about what happened." I hear Corbyn say, moving my curtain.
"Daniel?" He nudges me but I don't move.
"Fuck." Then everything goes dark.
