My eyes felt so heavy but I forced them to open anyway.

The room was a blur. I felt exhausted yet my body seemed to be relaxed. Those were the effects of my medication. When had I taken my meds?

Someone was holding me. I slowly turned my head to see who it was.

Taehyung smiled relieved. "You're awake." He whispered. Behind him the sun was shining. I looked around. They were all over my room. Jimin was sitting on the floor, leaning against the bed. Yoongi and Hobi were sleeping in each other's arms on my sofa. Seokjin was sitting in the chair next to my bed and Namjoon and Jungkook were sitting one the foot end of the bed. Taehyung's hands slowly let go of me and I felt a bit sad he did.

"What happened?"

"You had a panic attack." I groaned, pieces of last night started to come back to me.

My father. This happened because of him. "We called Tara." Jungkook continued. "We thought she would know what to do." I nodded. "Thank you."

"She told me to do hold you, she said it helps when the medicine isn't yet but you fell asleep and I didn't want to wake you." Taehyung chattered. I sat up a bit straighter. "Thank you."

"You should thank Tara really." Jimin said. "It was lucky I already had her number, your phone broke from the fall." Great, now I would have to buy a new phone.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Namjoon wondered. "I don't think I've ever felt so scared Katie, we didn't know what to do."

"I'm sorry guys, I really am."

"I'm just glad you're okay." Jungkook Yawned. Taehyung took my hand and squeezed it. Yoongi and Hobi were still sound asleep. It made me smile to see them so peaceful, so vulnerably in love.

"Jimin can I use your phone to call Tara?" He nodded. "I already texted her you're awake." He handed his phone. She picked up immediately and I left to the bathroom to have some privacy.

"Katie, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Tara. Thank you for helping out."

"Anytime sweetheart, but you should've told them about your panic attacks. This was bound to happen. Jimin told me Taehyung was almost hysterical." That made my heart heavy, knowing I caused him that much worry.

"I'm coming to Barcelona by the way." She announced. My eyes widened. "You are?"

"I'm in between projects anyway and Jimin asked me to help him with something." I shrugged. "So he texted you?" I was sure she was blushing. "He did, we text all the time. We've even skyped a couple of times."

"Then I guess I'll see you in Barcelona."

"See you tonight." She said before she hung up the phone. I walked back into my room. Yoongi and Hobi were awake now too. "How are you?" Hobi asked. "I'm okay, thank you for everything guys." They both gave me a shy smile.

I handed Jimin his phone back. "Thanks." He stood up. "Did you know she's coming to Barcelona too?" He nodded and I started walking to the bathroom again to fix my hair. "I'm picking her up from the airport late tonight, she still had some things to take care of today." I stopped and turned around. "So you're picking up my best friend?" I gasped. "Well-I-" He stuttered. I laughed. "I'm messing with you, glad to see you're taking my advice. I'm coming with you of course."

"Of course." He repeated. Nobody asked what happened, why I had a panic attack. They all understood that if I wanted to tell them, I would. And I wanted to, I really did but I needed more time.

I unpacked my toiletries and laid out my laptop on the desk and went over to the balcony I seemed to have again. This time I didn't have a view of the city, but I could see the beach. We weren't in center barcelona but just outside of it. I didn't mind, I loved the beach. Last time I went was with my grandmother. She had been too old and too ill to take me on a vacation far away so we drove just across the border with the Netherlands and rented a small cottage there, just grandma and me.
