Author's note: here is the next chapter! Everyone is really worried about you. Especially someone unexpected (Honestly I have a huge soft spot for this character, can you guess?)

You were sat down in ICT after another sleepless night. It was Friday finally, and the first day of February but you were suddenly aware you'd be alone again at the weekend. You slumped into your seat and exhaled shakily, your leg became restless. Namine frowned and walked over to you and knelt next to you and rubbed your back.
"You okay? We can get out of here, I think the library is empty right now." She whispered, you shook your head and she placed a hand on your shaking knee.
"Aw, is princess feeling down?" Selphie laughed, everyone glared over at her as you kept your head in your hands. Sa'ix glanced up from his desk.
"Selphie! Get out." He ordered, Selphie glanced at him and her jaw dropped. "Get out." He repeated, your friends turned to Sa'ix and you slowly looked up from your hands and turned around to watch Selphie storm out of the class, she slammed the door behind her and Sa'ix went back to his work. "I suggest you all get back to work too unless you want to join her." He said, he glanced at his papers and stared at everyone. "Oh, I forgot... Basketball is coming back." He said, a few of the boys began to chatter and you glanced at Ven who smiled at you. "Basketball is big here {Name} and it'll be the last time these seniors play." He explained, you nodded thoughtfully as you lowered your head slightly, everyone glanced at you sadly until Reno wrapped his arm around your shoulder and you flopped your head onto his shoulder and closed your eyes, the tiredness setting in. No one made a sound as you fell asleep for the rest of the class.

You walked into the lunch hall and stopped dead. Your eyes were playing tricks on you again, you felt your body flush and your hands began to tremble slightly. You closed your eyes and opened them again, and now the image of Meteor disappeared. You took a step back and bumped into Zack. His eyes were full of concern,
"hey you okay?" He whispered as Zexion and Tidus appeared behind him. You shook your head and lowered your head to the ground before you shoved the tray at Zexion and ran away from the hall. Zack and Zexion exchanged glances,
"should we go after her?" Zexion asked, Zack umm'd and ahh'd for a moment before Tidus cleared his throat.
"Actually guys, I'm gonna go after her, just tell the others that I'm with her... and chill, I'm not into her..." he rolled his eyes as both Zexion and Zack frowned at him. "I think her confidence has gone and she's struggling to show her emotions and all she can do is run from it. I'll be back with her soon." Tidus explained before taking off after you. Zexion and Zack sighed.
"You know, I hate it when he's right." Zack murmured, Zexion nodded and the two headed to the rest of their friends.
"Even so, it still feels awful not being able to do anything for her." Zexion said as the two of them sat down.

Tidus finally caught up with you and you were sat underneath the tree. He gave you a small smile before heading towards you and sitting down next to you.
"Hey."
"Sorry." You said quietly, he shuffled closer and leant against the tree, his shoulder brushing yours.
"Why are you sorry? You haven't done anything wrong." He said, you pulled your knees closer to your chest and he stared up at the leaves starting to come back. "Shall we stay out here for the rest of lunch?" He asked, you nodded. "No worries, I'll stay too, if you don't mind." He said.
"Thank you." You whispered as the two of you sat quietly underneath the tree.

It was the end of the day and Kairi had decided she'd take you around the mall just for a little bit, whilst Hayner spent some time with Roxas and the others. You were truly grateful to all your friends and how accommodating they were being, still you were frustrated that this is how you were currently. You were stood in the middle of the mall and your chest was heaving up and down as your vision went blurry. You wobbled on your feet and Kairi turned to you, her eyes full of concern. Everywhere you looked you saw Jill.
"{Name}... hey you okay?" She asked, you stared at your hands before one grabbed your top and you began hyperventilating.
"I-ican'-be-her..." You wheezed, Kairi quickly put a hand around your shoulder and led you to a bench, everyone was looking at you and Kairi grabbed your phone as she stroked your back gently.
"It's okay, I'm here." She whispered, she held the phone and placed it against her ear. A ringing in your ear made it so you couldn't hear Kairi and you closed your eyes, whimpering, with every broken breath. "It's me! I need your help! She's panicking. Hurry!" She said, before hanging up and dropping the phone and turning her attention you. She looked around, trying to comfort you in your panicked state.
"Anyone! Please I need help!" She yelled, and finally someone ran through the crowd, her eyes widened it was Sa'ix. He placed his hand on your shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"Kairi, we need to take her somewhere quite, all of these eyes it's quite off putting." He said, Kairi nodded and Sa'ix slipped his hand under your arm and gently pulled you up as Kairi hugged your side, and the two of them helped you to outside the mall and sat down closer to the beach. Sa'ix knelt down in front of you and your eyes wandered around.
"{Name}, have you ever had a panic attack before?" He asked, you vaguely heard him and shook your head as Kairi continued to you stroke your back. "You need to try and breathe as slowly and deeply as possible {Name}. I know it is hard. But please try." He instructed, you shakily breathed in deeply and out, he nodded slightly. "What do you think might help you?" He asked, your bottom lip wobbled and he squeezed your hand gently. "Okay we will count backwards from 100, Kairi please help her." He said, Kairi nodded and leant closer to you and both of you slowly began counting as you tried to breathe deeply and slowly. "{Name}, you are having a panic attack, it will pass it will just take a little bit of time." He said softly, you nodded and Kairi stroked your hair as you got to about 70 and your breathing was slowing down as the ringing in your ear stopped. After a little while you were calming down, Sa'ix had moved to sit next to you and Kairi was hugging you gently as your brother, Nyx and Fran joined you. Nyx dropped to his knees in front of you and you gave him a weak smile.
"How is she?" Fran asked, Sa'ix sighed and stood up as Hayner took his place and wrapped his arm around you.
"She is alright now, but she had a panic attack." He explained, Kairi nodded along as Nyx took your hands and gave them a squeeze. "For her, the stress hasn't completely gone and the memory is still stuck in her mind. Xemnas will understand if she doesn't come to school for a while." He said, "it was just luck I was here. Kairi did very well with her." Sa'ix glanced at Kairi and she smiled slightly.
"Thank you very much for looking after her. Kairi thank you for calling us." Nyx said, Fran nodded in agreement.
"It is alright, now I must be off."
"Sa'ix- thank... you." You whispered out, he glanced at you and nodded before walking away. Hayner sighed and Nyx stood up.
"Right, I'll take Kairi home can you two take her home and I think we do need to think about her having time off." He said, Kairi looked at you and Hayner sadly before giving you a hug.
"Love you, see you soon." She said, you hugged her tightly.
"You too, thank you..." You said quietly, she pulled back and Nyx walked with her back to hers. Hayner bent down and without any word you climbed onto his back and held onto him tightly as he stood up and the three of you walked home.
