Nicholas's pov

I look over at camila. She's sleeping? That's not right. "Camilla?" She doesn't respond. I gently shake her. "Camilla?" She not waking up. Why is she not waking up. "Whats wrong?" Noah looks over at us confused.

"Camilla!" I watch her eyes open slightly. thank god "Hm?" "You good?" She slightly nods. "My head just hurts" she closes her eyes again. Something isn't right. Yes she's drunk but somethings wrong.

Jenna drops up all off. I wake Camilla up and we all head inside. Noah go's straight to her room but Camilla is being super slow. I'm about to go up the stairs but turn around so see Camilla has completely stopped in her tracks. "What are you doing? lets go"

She ignores me and holds her head with her hand. "Are you o-" She starts falling. I run forward and catch her. I pick her up and rush to the car. I'm taking her to the hospital.

I start to put her in the passenger seat "Nick? What are you doing?" She asks weakly. "Were going to the hospital." Her eyes widen slightly. "No." I don't have time for this. She starts to try and undo her seat belt but I grab her wrist and stop her.

"Camilla, please." She looks me in the eyes for a couple seconds and nods. I get in the drivers side and start the car. "I'm calling my dad. He'll have a someone there waiting for us." She nods. What is wrong with me? I should have noticed sooner. She looks exhausted, why didn't I care earlier.

I start speeding to the hospital. What if something is seriously wrong?

I call my dad and put him on speaker phone. It rings a couple times before he answers. "Why are you calling me so late, Nicholas?" "I'm taking Camilla to the hospital. She collapsed" "Why? What happened?" I can tell he's trying to stay calm but in his voice you can tell he's starting to freak out.

"I don't know. I just found her like this." "I'll call the hospital and tell them your on your way. Will be there soon." He hangs up.

"Hay, you still with me?" I shake her gently. "Mhm." Her eyes are shut. "Talk to me" she gives me a mean look "no" her lips move into a weak smile. "Your not funny" "I'm hilarious."

"Your a real asshole, you know?" She tells me with her eyes still closed. "Disregarding me like that. asshole" I forgot she was drunk. Wait, she won the race drunk?

"I don't know what girls see in you. You just have nice hair, a pretty face, nice body, and beautiful eyes" I'm flattered. I laugh a little. "But your personality is shit. You think your better then everyone, its rude. And you lie to your dad 24/7 even though he's so nice to you, i'm jealous" huh?

"What do you mean? Rafaella gets mad at you sometimes but she's nice. You don't like that she married my dad?" I feel her tense up. "I wasn't talking about her. And I'm happy for her, she's happy." Her dad? I've never heard of him.

What does she even mean by that? Did he leave her or something? Maybe she's adopted? That might make sense considering her and Noah look nothing a like. But their twins? I have no idea.

"Are you and Noah actually siblings?" What kind of dumb ass question was that? She ignores me. Yeah, I deserved that.

"Sorry, that was stupid." She ignores me again. "Camilla?" No reply. "Camilla!" Fuck. I rush to the hospital as fast as possible. The second we get there I hop out pick her up and run in.

They took her immediately. They made me wait in the waiting room. Rafaella and dad showed up 15 minutes later. Rafaella seemed surprisingly calm, way to calm actually, like she was used to this.

I don't know why I'm so worried, I barely know her. A doctor keeps walking keeps walking into the waiting room, but for other people. It's like I get the relief that will finally get news but the doctor walks over to someone else.

Another doctor walks in, this time I know not to get my hopes up. To my surprise the doctor stops in front of us. "Camilla Wallace?" We all quickly stand. "Follow me." We follow him down a hall and stop in front of a room, 319.

"We did some tests. She didn't have much food in her system, and seemed to be vary sleep deprived. That plus stress and the large amount of alcohol in her system is what caused her to collapse." What? I didn't expect that at all.

Rafaella pinches the bridge of her nose. "Stress? She told you she was stressed?" Dad asks the doctor concerned. "No, but it's obvious. It explains the lack of food and sleep."

"So this has nothing to do this her previous injurys" Rafaella asks. "No, we looked at them but they seem fine. She'll be free to leave in two days. Just make sure gets rest, and eats. Try and reduce her stress" the doctor smiles.

"Can we see her?" I ask, making them all turn to me. "Yes, she might be sleeping, try not to wake her." The doctor opens the door and walks in, we follow closely behind.

I see Camilla in a hospital gown not sleeping, but ripping her IV out. "Ma'am, stop. please stay in bed." The doctor tells her panicked. What in the world she doing?

"No need, I feel amazing." She tells the doctor as gets out of bed. Is she crazy? She could barely stay awake hours ago. "Ma'am, plea-" "Camilla. Sit down" Rafaella orders loudly.

Camila jumps slightly at the sudden loud sound. She let's out a sigh and gets back into bed. Rafaella walks over to the side of the bed. "Is this because of Jonas?" She asks in a quite voice as she gently takes her hand. Camila looks off to the side but turns back to Rafaella and smiles.

Camila's pov

"I'm okay, I promise" I squeeze my mom's hand gently. "Can we just leave? I hate being here" I hate hospitals, I'm in them to often. "No" her eyes harden. She pulls her hand away. "Mami-" "No, you put this on yourself." Fuck. "Please-" "me and Will are going home. Rest up and will pick you up in two days."

She walks off and out the door. Will rushes out after her. I squeeze the sheets. How could she just leave me here, the least she can do is stay. I bet if Noah was in this position she would have stayed, maybe she'd even shed a few tears. I can't stay here, I just cant. I'm shocked she's leaving me here. I understand she thinks this is teaching me a lesson, but considering my history with hospitals, this is just cruel.

"I'll stay with you for a bit"
