January 31st

"No."
"I'm sorry but it's how it goes and you know it."
"You start tomorrow."
Slam
I shot up quickly. I rubbed my eyes as I saw boxes in my room all over the place. Just a few tho.
I got out of bed and opened the door then shut it back quietly.

I walked to Chandlers door and rubbed my eyes again not even bothering to knock.
"Chandler...?" I asked as I walked in.
I smiled as everything was pretty much twenty one pilots.
Then my smile faded once I heard the heavy breathing and sobs.

I peeked around the corner and saw Chandler with his back against the bed, eyes closed, red and puffy face, tears falling.
"Chandler? What's wrong?" I freaked as I rushed to his side and hugged him.
He hugged me back so tight but softly. Like he hadn't seen me in years.

"Please tell me what's wrong." I said.
He shook his head.
Then it hit me. I couldn't be more stupid.
He was having a panic attack.
"Chandler..." I pulled away and held his face softly.
His eyes were shut and his chest was going up and down fast.
"Look at my eyes." I said as he opened them and did.

His breathing slowed down immediately.
I smiled knowing that I actually helped. Me out of all people.
"There." I sighed.
He shook his head as he hugged me again not saying a word. He rested his head on my shoulder trying to calm down his regular breathing himself.

"Is it cause of all this?" I asked.
He shook his head.
"Megan?" I asked.
He sighed.
"School." He got out.
"We start fucking tomorrow." He pulled away and sat back.

I laughed as Chandler looked at me.
I couldn't help it. Chandler looked at me confused.
I got out my phone and opened our text I scrolled up a lot.
I showed him.
It was our text about him wanting me there with him. We haven't even met then.

He smiled as he looked at his hands.
"So that's our deal." I said.
"I'm not gonna leave you alone. Ever. If I'm sick and stay home your staying home too. If you eat lunch outside then I'll eat lunch outside. If your in detention then I'm in detention even tho it's scary as hell but still." I said.

Chandler smiled at me.
"I'm serious." I said and he shook his head.
"You don't have to do that..." He said.
"I want to." I said.
He looked up at me slowly then back down at his hands with a smile.

"And you wanna know why?" I asked.
He looked back up at me.
"Cause your saving me." I said.
"And I kinda got to return the favor." I smiled.
He smiled shaking his head.
"But you already are cause your the one saving me." He said.
Our eyes met making my cheeks turn pink and his did too.

"We're pretty much saving each other."
