Zane's pov:

Travis pulled me into a hug.
'Why is he hugging me?!' I tried to break the hug, only to be held tighter. I felt my face growing warm, and my mind started to go numb. 'Why is he hugging me?! Why won't he let me go?! Why do I feel dizzy?! Why can't I breath?!
I can't breath! I CAN'T BREATH!!'
I begin to hyperventilate. I feel like I can't breath. No because of how tight he was hugging me, yet I feel like I'm under water. I could faintly heard Travis shouting,'Zane? Zane! Zane*an **uhe**?!' His words began to blur together. I could bearly hear him through the ringing. I could faintly hear other voices as the world started to spin.

'Zane?!'
'Travis what are you shou-OMG ZANE ARE YOU OK!?! '
'HE'S NOT RESPONDING!'
I could see a few more twisted blurs enter the room as the world began to fade.
'What's going on? Omg what happened?!'
'Where's Alex?!'
'He-!'
I heard a loud thud, then another familiar blur came racing into the room with something in their hand.
'Alex, what's going on?!'
I saw him take a small piece off the top of the object and lightly press it against my lips. 'Water?' I used my hand to grab the bottle and drank the water as someone helped sit me up. When I finished drinking the water my vision began to come together. I could see almost everyone accept Katelyn, Laurence, K.C., Aaron, and Gene. "Hey, Zane." Alex waved his hand in front of my face. I hummed in response. "Hey, how many fingers am I holding up?" He held up I think four fingers, my head is still spinning a little. "Umm... four??"
"Here let's get you to the couch so you can lay down." Alex carefully picked my up bridal-style. He sat me down on the couch and turned into a dog and sat next to me.

I slightly leaned against him for support, I felt him tense up with a strong and stern look on his face. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him look down at me without turning his head, and his changed to a soft and concerned one. I felt I light tap on my shoulder, and when I turned around I saw Travis holding my bag. "Hey, are you ok?" he asked with concern laced into every word. "Yeah, I'm fine." He put his hand on my forehead. "You feel warm." I swatted his hand away, "I said I'm fine Travis." Then Alex put his nose on my forehead and said, "He's right Zane, you do feel kind warm. I'll go ask Aphmau if she has any ibuprofen." He slowly got off the couch as I leaned against the arm of the couch, as he disappeared into the other room. Travis then took his place next to me. "Hey...umm......I-I'm sorry that I asked you a-about your tattoos. It was really rude o-of me."
'Why is he apologizing?'
"I-It's ok T-Travis. I just don't like to talk about some of them."
"Well... um.. what about that one?" He pointed at the phoenix on my left shoulder. 'When and why the hell did it move there?!'
"Umm Zane? You ok?" "Huh? Oh I uh... I got it will I was in New York." I lied. "Oh I almost forgot to tell you something." "What?"

"You don't have your mask on." After he said that I quickly looked around to find it around my neck. I rushed to put it back on only for Travis to start snickering. "What are you laughing at?" He kept laughing and I could feel blood rushing to my face. "Why are you laughing?!" "Y-Your mask is
c-c-rooked." He laughed even more as he fixed my mask. 'Why is my face so warm?!?!?'
