Gavin's POV

I groaned, hitting the call button on Meg's contact again.

'Ring.....Ring.....Ring.....Hey this is Meg! I can't come to the phone right now but-'

I hit the end button, throwing my hands up in frustration. Its been an hour since she left, she couldn't have taken that long just to get some extra material! I tapped on Geoff's contact, and after 2 rings he answered.

"Hey what's up Gav?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Geoff I'm freaking out. Meg told me she was going to the store to quickly get some material real quick. That was a bloody hour ago!" I said, slightly panicked and slightly frustrated.

"Ok Ok Gavin calm down, I'm sure she's fine. Maybe she just got stuck in traffic or something like that-"

"Oh wait! I got to go! I'm getting another call and it may be her!" I said, hanging up before he could even say goodbye. I quickly tapped the accept button, not even checking to see if it was her.

"Hello?" I said quickly.

"Is this Gavin Free?" a stern voice asked, and I felt my stomach drop and a lump form in my throat.

"Y-Yes....Who is this?" I asked timidly.

"This is Officer Pete, and were going to need you to come to the Austin hospital." he said.

"Why?" I said, already grabbing the kids and putting them in the car. I hopped into the car, and started to speed off towards the hospital.

"Meg Free has been in a car crash, and is in critical condition." He said, and ended the call.

My stomach dropped even farther if possible, and my eyes started to blur with tears. My Meg could be gone....

I shook my head, she's going to be fine. She'll heal up real nice, and we'll be okay. I need to see her, make sure she's okay.

I accelerated the gas further, and within no time made it to the hospital. Carrying the kids, I sprinted into the building and went up to the front desk.

"I-I need to see Meg F-Free." I said, tears now flowing freely down my face.

"Room 284." the nurse said sympathetically. I ran all the way until I found the door, and bursted in, desperately needing to see Meg okay.

But what I saw.....was definitely not Meg okay. Her body was bruised and scratched, tubes coming out from many different wounds. She looked pale and lifeless, so lifeless as to the point where I felt as she was already dead, or as if I even tapped her her delicate body would shatter like glass.

I could hear the slightest of cracks in my heart, and I sunk down in a chair next to her hospital bed. I placed the babies in their carriers in the chairs beside me, and gently took hold of Megs hand.

"Your gonna be okay. Please be okay Meg...please be okay. You've always been so strong, I know you can pull through." I barely whispered, and I could tell I was about to break into sobs.

Then it really hit me. I could lose her, never be able to see her again...never be able to hold her, kiss her, call her mine...she'd be gone forever. And all I'd be left with is the hope that this is all some terrible nightmare, that one day I'll come from work and she'll be sitting in her room making her newest cosplay. She could be so close to death right now..and the people at Roosterteeth think she's fine right now. They need to know.

I took out my phone, tears blurring my vision, and tapped Geoff's contact.

"Hey Gav? Is Meg okay?" he asked casually, even though I could hear the slightest of worry lacing his tone.
