Silence (5sos ot4)

(14)

A/N- HULLO EVERYONE!!! (I read that in Tyler Oakley's voice after I typed it hehe) I AM SO SO SO SO SO SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN WHAT FEELS LIKE MONTHS (it probably has been honesty and I am so sorry)

BUT HEY SUMMER BREAK IS HERE NOW SO I HAVE MORE TIME TO WORK ON THE CHAPTERS AND STUFFS HOORAY

THIS WHOLE CHAPTER IS BASICALLY FLUFF YAY AND I HAVE BEEN TYPING IN ALL CAPS THE WHOLE TIME GOSH!!!

Anyway this is a really really short compared to my other chapters and it was supposed to be longer but I felt bad for not updating when this is like more successful than I thought it would be and people actually enjoy it. It is currently 11:41 pm right now and I should be showering but I wanted to finish this first hehe.

For anybody reading my other fanfics I am trying to update those too, but I'm not gonna lie I'm hella lazy and a serious procrastinator hehe (no shame at all) but look forward to those soon as well.

And this author's note is so long I'm sure everybody has skipped it by now since it's literally half as long as the chapter itself. But if you did read the whole thing I love you a lot because I'm basically rambling for no reason now.

Oh and what color should Michael change his hair to??? I have had it red the whole time because that was my favorite color on him, but I feel like it should change not and I didn't want to change it in the order he dyed it in. I was thinking black maybe???

BACK TO THE POINT!!!

I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS VERY RUSHED AND HORRIBLY WRITTEN BARELY EDITED MESS OF A CHAPTER!!!!!

Michael and Ashton could do nothing but watch in shock and concern as Luke was rolled away to another room and Calum was being attended to by nurses.

One of the nurses rushed them out of the room and back into the waiting room. They sat down, trying to process everything that had happened in that moment.

Michael was the first to let his tears fall. He threw himself into Ashton's arms and cried, something he had been trying not to do since hearing about Calum on Friday.

"It's gonna be okay in the end, Mikey. If it's not okay then it's not the end," Ashton whispered to him, hugging him tightly.

Michael let out a shaky laugh. "That sounds like something from tumblr or the Fault In Our Stars," he said, laughing again.

Ashton smirked. "It probably is, but you know it's true."

Michael nodded and pulled back slightly, staying in Ashton's arms.

"Do you think Luke passed out because of his eating disorder? He seemed to be eating more and getting better at home," the red haired boy asked.

Ashton thought for a moment. "That could be one of the only reasons he just passed out like that. I'm sure he'll be okay though, Mikey. Stop worrying so much. You shouldn't need to worry until the doctor tells you something that gives you a reason to worry," Ashton said, running his fingers through Michael's hair and smiling at him.

Michael nodded and snuggled into Ashton's side.

And once again, all they could do was wait. Not for one person this time, but two.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michael ended up falling asleep in Ashton's lap. Ashton was left to his own thoughts, trying to stay positive with everything that's been going on.

His train of thought was broken when a doctor finally walked in almost two hours later. It was Calum's doctor, Dr. Stevens, with two clipboards in his hands: one for Luke and one for Calum.
