JOES POV

"Zoe,Zoe now is not the time." I say into the phone. She's trying to explain a colab idea she had for us when I got back to the UK.
"ZOE" I scream.
"huh, woah what?" she says.
"I'm stuck in an elevator there's a girl in here with me."
"Ooooo lalalala" she says trying to be funny.
"No Zoe, listen to me. She's claustrophobic, so am I"
"But she has anxiety and is having a panic attack, what the hell do I do?"
"Oh um sorry. Um okay is she siting or standing?" she asks
"Standing" I say.
"Okay, sit her down" she says calmly.
"Alright" I say. I walk over to her and nod, so she knows it's okay.
I put my arm around her waist and lower her onto the floor.
"Okay, she's sitting down know what?"
"Sit with her" She says.
"Comfort her" she continues.
"Okay sit, comfort. Got it"
"That it. is that all I can do?" I ask her
"Pretty much" she says
"Get her to talk and just tell her she's okay."

"Okay, thanks sis. I'll call later"
"Alright good luck, bye broseph" she says and hangs up the phone.
Okay, sit with her, comfort her, get her to talk. I replay in my head.I slide down the wall so I'm sat next to her, I put one arm around her shoulder and pull her in close to me. "Shhh, it's okay, you're okay" I speak softly. "Tell me something about yourself" I say. I can feel her start to relax.
"I run, professionally" she manages to say. That's so cool I think to myself. We could like go on runs together, with Marcus and Naomi. Wait, what am I doing? I'm planning my future with her. wow I have to have her. "Wow" I say. "Distance or Sprints?" I ask
"Both, but I'm better at distance" she replies.
"I'm a youtuber" I tell her. "I know" she whispers
I grin. This whole time she knew who I was and she didn't fangirl at all.
I don't feel the need to talk anymore.So I just sat there with quite possibly the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my arms.
I could get used to this.
