I immediately panicked and ran down stairs and then outside to my car. "wait for me!" Skylar yelled. She was really slow so I drove off without her. I tried to obey the speed limit but I had all of these bad thoughts going through my head. What if something happened to him? What happened to him? Was that even Cameron? That scream sounded too high pitched, but then who was it? And where was Cam? I pulled up by the curb and ran in the house (I have a key). I didn't see Anything unusual. Cams car wasn't in the driveway. I looked in the garage to see if his mom was home. Her car wasn't their so where was everyone? I walked through the house. I saw an open drawer in the kitchen but not much else. And then I heard another scream, it came from upstairs. I ran as fast as I could. Now I knew it that scream was. "Mackenzie!?" I yelled "Where are you!?" I ran in to her room but she wasn't there, I heard crying coming from the bathroom. I ran in and saw Mackenzie covered In her blood, with a knife in her right hand. I started crying. I took the knife away and grabbed a towel. "Kenzie? What's wrong? What happened? Why would you do this?" My voice was shaky. We were both crying. I grabbed my phone and dialed 911.
"911, what is your emergency?"
"It's my- my boyfriends little sister, she's cut herself and she's lost a lot of blood, please hurry"
I told her Cams address and I heard ambulance minutes later. mackenzie didn't say a word, she just cried in my arms. I was about to call Cam but the EMT's came running in, "mam step back" the man said. I wouldn't listen so the girl pulled me away. They put Mackenzie on a gernie and took her downstairs. I hopped in the ambulance before they drove away. I held Mackenzie's hand and whispered to her "I won't leave you, I promise". Her eyes were closed but somehow I knew that she could hear me. Some doctors had to pull me off of Mackenzie when we got to the hospital because I wouldn't let go, I promised that I wouldn't leave her. They had to take her in to surgery because she cut some major arteries and veins or something, I was too upset to listen. They called everyone who was on her emergency contact list, and I guess I was on it too because they knew my name. Cam showed up with his mom about 20 minutes after they took her to surgery. I was sitting by the doors that lead to the O.R. with one arm wrapped around my knees and the other on my mouth to keep my crying quiet. Cam and his mom had tears in their eyes. Cam's mom talked to the nurse and Cam ran to me. "what happened? Are you okay?!!!"
I shook my head no and his mom walked over, she whispered something to him but I couldn't hear. "thank you, Nicolette" his mom said.
"For what? I couldn't stop her"
"But if you didn't show up, she would've-" she started crying. Cameron rubbed her back to comfort her. "how did you know to go there? Why were you there? You just left like an hour ago"
"I was at skylars and I called to tell you something about Hanna but you didn't answer my texts or calls and then my phone rang and it was you, I heard a noise and a scream and then the call ended and I thought something happened to you so I drove straight there"
Cam felt his pockets
"I must've left my phone at home"
I just noticed that he was in his baseball uniform.
Cam helped me up and hugged me. the Surgeon came out of the doors and looked at me "she's in very critical condition, she cut a nerve that controls her arm movement."
Cams mom covered her mouth.
"Will she be okay?" I asked.
"She'll live but she may not be able to move her left arm anymore"
"At all? Ever?" Cam asked, panicked.
"I'm afraid not but we'll take more x-rays when she wakes up"
"Thank you his mom said.
Cam started crying. I laid my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arms around his stomach. "it'll be okay" I said "She will be okay".
