Later that night, instead of the usual, - you know, Teagan and all - I hung out with Calum. He was laughing at the top of his lungs as I screamed at him for making me lose in FIFA.

I hadn't been this happy since before Teagan's accident, and I honestly felt guilty for it.

"So Michael... This girl?" Calum said slyly.

I blushed, "Only the best."

He raised as eyebrow before shaking his head and chuckling lightly, and then muttering something along the lines of: "whipped."

"But really though, I'm happy for you."

I nodded as a silent thanks and then we went back to the game.

About 4 hours and uncountable matches if FIFA later, I got a phone call.

I excused myself and answered it whilst leaning up against the kitchen counter.

"Michael Clifford?" A woman's voice asked.

"That's me," I replied shortly.

"We need you to come down to the hospital for Teagan Michaels," She stated.

"I'll be right there," I stated and hung up.

I walked faster than I should of into the living room where Calum was.

"Cal, you can stay here if you want, treat yourself to anything. They want me to go to the hospital for Teagan, it's important," I gave him the details as to why I was cutting the night short, and grabbed my keys. "I'll be right back if this goes as planned."

I got in my car and drove way faster than the speed limit until I got to the hospital. I ran to the front desk where the lady stood up and ran down the series of halls as fast as she could with me suit.

She didn't even make me put on the scrubs this time. She opened the door and peaked inside before opening it and letting us both inside.

I took one step inside the room and immediately regretted it.

My pupils dilated and my face got paler than humanly possible, it seemed to get harder to breath the longer I looked at her.

Her heart monitor that was usually a steady beep was currently beeping rapidly, and doctors were working fast to try and calm her down. She was shaking violently and only the whites of her eyes were visible.

It scared me out of my mind. I wanted to back out of this right now; which I knew I couldn't do. I couldn't let her down like that.

I looked up at the ceiling and kept my head in that position as I closed my eyes and silently hoped for the best.

I couldn't let her die like this, not without a fight.

I brought my gaze back down to her body. One of the doctor noticed my presence and brought me to the side of the bed, right next to her.

I knew what he wanted me to do.

I grabbed her cold, shaky hand and took in deep breath. I kneeled down a little so that I could get my head level with hers.

"Teagan," I whispered, my voice cracking because of the tears threatening to spill.

I raised my voice a few notches, hoping that she would hear me, "Teagan, come on."

A few of the doctors backed away from the bed, giving me my space to do what I was doing.

"You gotta fight."

Her heart monitor suddenly started to return to normal and her shakiness became less noticeable.

"That's it."

It slowed a little more and she started to calm down even more. The doctors looked at each other in shock.

"That's my girl."

Her heart monitor went back to its constant beeping noise, all the doctors sighed in relief. She was still shaking but not like she was just moments before.

I stood back up to my full height and backed away from the bed, dropping her hand in the process. One of the doctors stepped up, "You worked a miracle out there."

I smiled in contentment and nodded to him in thanks.

I was given the all clear to leave.

I didn't want to leave her but I had Calum at my house, and he was probably destroying everything in sight.

I drove back to my house and ran inside.

Calum was in the couch eating just about all of my food.

"Goddammit, I leave for like half and hour and you eat all my food."

He glanced up at me with food shoved in his mouth and everything, "yeah, what was that about anyways?"

"Teagan was having sone kind of attack and she was shaking and her heart was beating really, really fast so they called me to go and calm her down," I explained.

"Did it work?" He asked.

"Yeah, everything's as good as it's going to get for now."

He nodded and went back to his food.

So it's kinda short but I felt the need to bring Calum back into the story and add some more Teagan in there.

SO ANYWAYS YEAH, TEAGANS ACTIN UP AGAIN

WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?
