Don't Go There (Camren)

Chapter 5

It was already morning. Camila slowly opened her eyes letting her eyes adjust to the light. She groaned as she remembered all the things that happened over the past couple of days. She decided to go to the bathroom freshen herself up and get dressed. She picked something simple to wear as it was only a visit to the hospital. She was wearing white ripped skinny jeans, a black plaid shirt and her all stars. She looked at herself in the mirror. Pretty good.

She went downstairs and watched some tv. Her phone suddenly buzzed.

Camila didn't really bother to talk to her mom. Since her mother was always giving her attention to her stepfather. Sometimes she forgot Camila existed and Camila wondered why her mother wanted a child when she seemed to be one herself. "Mila did you clean your room darling?" The first thing her mother said when she walked into the living room. "Hello to you too mom. Yes I did. I'm leaving so I had too." I say sarcastically. "Where are you going?" She asked. "I told you last night in staying with dad for 2 weeks." Camila said in disbelief. "Oh yeah you may have mentioned it." Camila rolled her eyes. Her mother was always like this only eyes for her man. She was interrupted by the horn coming from outside. Her father was here. She grabbed her bags and went straight out the door. "No kisses or hugs?" Her mother said looking sad. "Yeah sorry bye mom!" She said before closing the door. She stepped inside the car of her father. "Are you good?" Her father asked her. "Yeah." She fake smiled. "Let's just go." Dinah looked at her meaningful. She gave Dinah a weak smile.

"Okay so we are here." Her father exclaimed. As they all stepped out and went to enter the hospital. Suddenly she was met with a pair of green eyes standing at the desk. "Hey guys. My mom said to pick you up so you don't have to ask which room." She said. "Ah that's great thanks Lauren." Alejandro said. "So which room?" He asked eagerly. Lauren smiled. "Room 23." Without anything more Alejandro disappeared to the elevators. "Are you guys okay?" Lauren turned to Dinah and Camila. They both nodded. Lauren stepped forward and engulfed Camila into a hug and then did the same to Dinah. They walked behind her towards the elevator. "I thought maybe we could give them some alone time." Lauren broke the silence. "So what do we do? Walk through the hallways?" Dinah said laughing. "That's an option or we can go get some tea." Lauren added. She looked at Camila. "Yeah that's fine." Camila spoke. They walked towards this small kitchen that was for guests and made themselves some tea. "This way." Lauren led them inside the room. Camila was met with her stepmother. She looked so weak. But she still smiled at the sight of the girls. "So happy you came!" She said sounding genuinely happy. Camila went to her. Gave her a small hug them sat down. Dinah did the same. They asked her all kind of questions and wanted her to get out soon. "I want that too more than anything." Clara said sadly looking at her hands. Camila swallowed hard not wanting to cry. "It will all be okay." Alejandro assured them. They stayed in the hospital for quite some time before visitor hour was over. "So I'm taking them home they didn't eat yet." Alejandro said while he stood up. "Eat good okay?" Clara said directing it to Dinah and Camila. "Yeah yeah don't worry about us." Camila said chuckling. She then went in to give her stepmother a hug. "Take care okay girls." She said. They nodded. Lauren then stepped towards Camila. Hugging her too. When they pulled away Lauren lingered her hand on Camila's arm. "Thank you.. For today for my mom.." She said sincerely. "Yeah ofcourse she is my stepmom." Camila said. Lauren just smiled at her she she released the grip on her arm. She looked at Dinah who also had noticed and started to smirk. They them followed Alejandro out to the car. "Where do you guys want to eat?" He asked them when they were driving off. "What about KFC?" Camila said excited. "KFC it is then." He said and his eyes were back on the road. This time Dinah sat back with Camila so that they could talk. They both were touched by the fact that someone important to them was laying in the hospital. Alejandro was listening to Latin music so Dinah took it as an opportunity to talk about the green eyed girl. "So.. You know who. Seemed to have her attention on you all the time." Dinah started. "Oh yeah? Tell me." Camila played along. "Well even at the end she had her hand on your arm. Like come on! What for?" Dinah said shaking her head. "She just wanted to thank me for coming." Camila replied. "Yeah because you're a complete stranger so it's not common for you to be concerned about Clara." Dinah said sarcastically causing Camila to laugh. "Okay you have a point." Dinah wiggled her eyebrows. "She is not into me though." Camila stood her ground. "We'll see Mila, we'll see.." Dinah said determined. She knew there was something up between them. And she was gonna make sure Camila would see.
