Anxiety (Michael Clifford/5SOS fanfic)

Chapter 25

I could feel myself slowly waking up and whatever I was laying on was hard yet soft. I opened my eyes to see that I was in the hospital and Elijah was holding my hand. Once he noticed I was awake he called for a nurse to come to my room.

"Hey, Lulu your ok were just here for precautionary measures." I nodded.

"I need to call my FBI team because when I was with Tiffany I saw someone and they had the same look that the other people did 4 months ago and I just want to be sure it's nothing." He smiled at me.

"I love how you can always tell when something isn't right and then you try to fix it." I brought his hand to my mouth and kissed his fingers.

"I hope I'm wrong for Australia's sake because these people had nuclear weapons and they probably still do." He looked down.

"If they do have nuclear weapons and if they are back then my extension is going to be longer." 

"I know but I'll go back with my FBI team and we'll be right there beside you trying to figure out whats going on." He grinned at me.

"That's great until the military takes over and becomes in charge... I don't want to boss you around... I hope you're wrong." I sighed.

"Me too Elijah... me too..." The nurse walked in and told me that I had a severe anxiety attack and that I should be careful and be with people I feel safe around.

I checked out of the hospital and went home with Elijah just in time to see my old FBI team arriving in my driveway. I guess my feeling was right. They're back and now I have to be an agent again.

I welcomed my team inside where we began discussing the plan of how we're going to approach the people we're after. Sometime later they left and I was stuck helping Elijah pack for his next base. After we were done packing we made dinner and went to bed with sadness in our eyes.

The next day

I woke up to an empty bed to see that Elijah had already left but I was surprisingly ok with it considering we kind of said "see you later" last night. I walked downstairs to see broken glass on the floor and to see Teddy sitting next to it. (Teddy is her Yorkie if you don't remember)

"Woah hi, Teddy I thought I left you with Joe so that you would be safe." Teddy barked at me and wagged his little tail.

"Alright then I guess your back but I wanna know how you got here."

I called Joe and asked him what happened and he said that he didn't know because Teddy had been missing for a couple days and that it wasn't the first time its happened. Joe also said that Teddy always came back home, so why was Teddy here?

My eyes widened. The people that I'm after I think they broke in and gave me my dog back. Why in the hell would they do that though it doesn't make sense? I'll have to let my team know that the people we're after broke into my house.

10 minutes later

Gym. I was currently training with my team at the private FBI gym and let me tell you it has been rough getting back into shape. My team said that we would have to put security around my house to watch for whoever broke in. 

I finished my training for the day and went home to get Teddy ready for a walk to the pet supply store. When we got to the store I picked up his usual pet supplies and then we took the long way home. 

"Alright Teddy now that we're home let me get you some food and water and then I'll set up your crate." 

I was almost finished with getting Teddy situated at home when I heard a knock at the door. I ran to the door and looked at the peephole to see Tiffany and the 5SOS boys. Why would they be here? I told the boys goodbye so why are they here? I decided to open the door anyway.

"Um hi Tiffany and boys. Whatcha doin here?"

"We came to hang out with you," Luke spoke first but Michael pushed his way in.

"Hmmm, I thought I told you guys goodbye."

"You did but you should know by now that we never listen." Ashton was right ugh I can't do this.

"Guys I would love to hang but I have work to do."

"No, you don't I work with you, Luna." Damn it, Tiffany.

"Not that kind of work FBI/military work. I need to figure out some stuff and then send it to Elijah so that they can help because whatever happened 4 months ago isn't over."

"I thought it was and who's Elijah?" I turned toward Calum to answer but Tiffany beat me to it.

"That's her new beau. They met 4 months ago and this lovely house is his. Oh, he's also in the military." I sighed at Tiffany.

"Ooo do we get to meet him?" I looked at Ashton.

"Not right now Ashton. Elijah's busy with his side of the plan." He hummed.

"So you guys have been dating for 4 months and you live together?" I nodded at Michael.

"Yup he's pretty chill and he surprisingly doesn't get angry trust me I've tried to make him angry. He left this morning to go to a different base."

"Cool what rank is he?" I looked at Luke.

"He's a sergeant."

"Damn girl you didn't tell me that your beau is so hot." Tiffany was looking at our pictures.

"Oh um he's hot and stuff but he's uh... he's great..." I giggled.

"Awww she's love struck." I smiled at Michael's comment. Maybe he has changed. 

"You shush I've heard about you and your little lover over there." Michael blushed.

I heard sniffling and turned around to see Luke with tears in his eyes. 

"Aww Luke whats wrong?" I hugged him tightly around the waist and he nustled his head into my neck. 

"Nothing it's just things are ok now and we aren't fighting and ugh... we're friends again." I smiled at him and let go.

"We were always friends I've just had my head up my ass with my own selfish problems." 

"Amen to that." I giggled at Ashton.

I was about to reply when I heard the doorknob rustle before it turned. I grabbed my gun from my waistband and put it up but I didn't need it. Elijah walked through the door and he had cuts and bruises all over his face and he had what looked to be an open wound.

"Oh my gosh Elijah what happened?" He looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Luna we were attacked with the weapons that they had hidden from us and... so many... people are..." I stopped him with a hug. 

"It's ok baby I got you I'll keep you safe." He shook his head.

"That's the problem... Nobody is safe with the weapons they have." I sighed.

"Ok I'll text my team real quick and then I'm gonna clean you up ok?" He nodded.

"Sorry guys you can either stay and wait to meet him or you can come meet him some other time when we're not busy." 

"We'll wait." I nodded at Tiffany.

Damn this was gonna be harder than I thought. Goodnight...
