Camila's eyes slowly being to open, everything looks blurry and suddenly all she knows is pain... everything hurts, as if a bomb went off inside her. She groans and looks for something to throw up in. Leaning to her side she finds a bin and lets the contents of her stomach go.
Camila is able to see her surroundings better as her eyes clear from the fogginess of just waking up. She's in a room that looks like it could be a child's room or a room at a nursing home because of all the medical equipment around. Maybe she was in a long term hospital... like one where a patient is going to be there awhile so the hospital rooms look more home-y.
She's brought back from her thoughts when the door opens. Two people walk into the room. A short brown haired girl wearing scrubs, she assumed was the nurse or doctor, and a tall male with curly hair.. he was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, defiantly not hospital staff.
"What happened?" Camila question but her voice croaked. She figured it was from being dehydrated.
"You were shot." The curly haired man replied.
The female looked at him with a stern look and then back at Camila, approaching closer and sitting on the side of her bed.
"Yes, you were hit with a bullet in your chest. You suffered trauma to your rib cage, and surrounding muscles but your heart was not hit. You lost a lot of blood and almost did not make it. You were in surgery for about six hours." Ariana began to explain. "I know that's a lot of information and lots to process so take your time." She spoke sweetly.
"Okay.." Camila responded in total shock, but she had to know more. "How long have I been out for?" The girl questioned.
"Three days of been in and out of consciousness. This is the first time you've been coherent." Ariana explained as Harry stood behind her.
"And where am I now?" Camila questioned.
"Well. You are in the protective custody of a group." Ariana said beating around the bush.
"You are in the house of a gang called 5SOS." Harry said bluntly. Suddenly memories of the drug deal came flooding back to her.. she was hanging out somewhere she probably shouldn't have been when she heard people yelling. Camila took her phone out and started filming a drug deal, and whispered into the phone that she was taking this to the police.. that was when the gun went off.

"You." Camila pointed at Harry recognizing him. "You shot me because I threatened to go to the cops." She was beyond pissed and looked about ready to rip Harry's face off.
"Look, wasn't me. The other guy's gun went off, you were in the wrong place, wrong time. Nether of us even knew you were there. Beside if I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead... why would we bother saving you?" Harry asked defensively.
"I-" Camila started. "I haven't figured that out yet, but I'm blaming you." She concluded. "When do I get to go home?" She directed her question at Ariana, since she seemed to be taking care of her medically.
"Oh uhm." Ariana froze for a moment.
"Never. Don't you get it? You are a threat, you could go to the police. You are now and forever 5SOS's." Harry explained. Sugar coating was never his thing.
Ariana waited for tears or an explosion of anger or for her to try and make a run for it....
"Yeah okay. We'll see about that." Camila responded, clearly not taking any of this seriously. "How long till I am back to normal?" Camila was going to ask if her brother had come to see her, but she knew that he hadn't, even if she was in a regular hospital.
"Not sure yet. It's hard to see how your body is adjusting since you've been out. Now that your conscience we will be able to monitor more. However by next week you should be up walking around, possibly eating like normal, the next week back to mostly normal. I don't think any exercise or strenuous activity for a month just to let yourself fully heal. We will keep an eye though." Ariana spoke.
"Okay.." Camila spoke with a small sigh. "And painkillers?" "Already in your IV drip." The smaller girl explained.
"I'm Ariana by the way. And this is Harry." Ariana introduced them. "Camila." She spoke dryly.
"I'm going to be like your keeper, I guess? Me and my boyfriend are taking responsibility for you, and another girl in the group named Selena will also be taking care of you. And of course Ariana with all the medical stuff, but she's got her hands full right now."
Ariana chuckled at Harry's last comment. "Yes yes I do." "What the fuck do you mean my keeper?" Camila bursted out.
"I mean you've been taken, kidnapped, held hostage, abducted by us. The gang you threatened and we aren't letting you go. What part of that do you not understand? And me and Louis and Selena are going to set rules and standards for you, and if you break them there will be consequences.. so therefore we are responsible for you. Got it?" Harry explained a little more harshly than he had intended.
"Fuck You. I'm leaving the second I can survive without these machines." Camila retorted.
"I'd like to see you try." Harry snapped back.
"Okay, this isn't going anywhere. Camila I want to have you stand up and walk around for a bit.
