"No pulse. Charge. Clear!" Another few seconds. "No pulse. Again!"
_______________________________________________________
Hearing the charging hurts. I cry into Michael's chest feeling a tear drip into the two slashes in my wrist. Michael's silent tears make me cry even harder.

"I love you so fucking much, Madisyn. You know that right?" He forces me to look into his teary eyes.

"I love you so fucking much, too. You and your obsession with boobies." My happiness builds up, and I'm able to smile.

"We have a pulse!" I hear the doctor finally announce. My legs go weak, and I would've fallen to the floor if it weren't for Michael holding me up. The doctors scurry out of the room. Michael drags me into the room, and sets me down. I hear Maria's phone go off, and I instantly pick up.

"Madisyn, my dad finally thought it was an important situation. I'm getting on the plane now, actually. I'll be there in a couple hours."

"Maria just had a relapse... I don't know if she'll make it." My silent tears run down my cheeks.

"Don't say that! Fucking, don't say that. Don't say that..." His voice echos out of the speaker. "Don't say that, don't say that... Don't fucking say that." He continues on.

"Ashton! It's okay." I reassure him, knowing he wasn't confident in Maria's situation. "Here's Maria..." I walk over to the other side of her bed, hearing her breathing. I put the phone to her ear.

"Maria, baby... I know you hate when people say this to you, but I love you. Maria Autumn Collins, I love you, no matter how you look." I hear Ashton sob from the other side. "I'll be there soon, princess." The connection cuts off, and the dial tone starts.

"Madi, we should-" My own phone ring cuts off Michael.

"Hello?" I sniff, wiping my left cheek, not caring about my mascara anymore.

"Oh my." I hear a sigh of relief from the other end. "Madisyn, it's Dr. Rainflower. Where are you?"

"Teresa! Maria, her artery gave out."

"Where are you?!" She yells into the phone.

"I can't tell you." I push my lips into my mouth, sniffing.

"Tell me now, Madisyn! That girl can not survive without certain things that nobody but me know about. Tell me!" I pull the phone away from my ear, my thumb hovering over the 'end call' button. I've been through to much just to go back to square one. I finally get the courage to press it.

I come up to the Plaza Suite Hotel on S. Peters Street.

"Hey Mr. Smith. Where's your beautiful wife?" I smile at him.

"She took the day off, and I thought I would fill in for her. What do you need, sweetie?"

"Another one of our friends, his name is Ashton Irwin. Golden, curly hair, buff." I start describing him.

"Yes, okay. I will send him on up. You two behave yourselves." He smirks, shooing us away. I go upstairs, redoing my makeup.

I look at my ring, smiling. I twist it around, then sliding it off my pinkie finger, and setting it down on the side table by the sofa. I push my lips into my mouth, seeing Eliot. and changing out of my sweaty outfit and into a new one. I felt something press against my lips. Really Michael? He pulls away to breathe.

"Fucking cunt! Your tits be flying!" He flicks his head back. I can't help but laugh. I reach up, running my hands through his scalp, tugging on his hair, as he bites his lip. I smash my lips against his without warning, as I guide his lips.

I pull away giggling. "I'm the dominant one in this relationship."

"Wanna bet?" He smirks, and the next thing I know I'm pinned up on the wall.

"I'll take that bet. 2 dollars." I giggle.

"Challenge accepted."

Notes

I did a prank on my mom calling a prerecorded message of 5SOS, and she was like, "Wtf?! How'd you get their number?!" It was hilarious. Hope you like the chapter. It took me a bit longer cause I went Pokemon hunting....
