Right Now (Camila/you)

three

"She was and still definitely is the most clumsy person I've ever know." Normani laughed.

"Really?" I chuckled, my stomach hurting so much from laughing.

"She tripped over air once." Lauren said.

"Damn guys, why tease me like this." Camila pouted.

At that moment Jenny decided to walk in. "Sorry guys, visiting hours are over." The girls whined but gave me and Camila a hug and saying goodbye.

"See you guys soon." Dinah said before leaving and catching up with the others.

I climbed my way back to my bed and laid on my back. Jenny came to my side and checked my heart monitor and morphine.

"Seems lile she's bringing you some good luck." Jenny whispered low enough for me to hear.

"Maybe. Let's just wait until my check up is over tomorrow." I said and said goodnight to her.

Jenny turned the lights off and left the room. I was quiet, only filled with our raspy breathing and the beeps of the heart monitor.

"Camila?" I whispered.

"Yeah?" She said after a few minutes.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Knock yourself out." She said.

"I've noticed, that you avoid saying, cancer. You say 'it' and wince when someone say it. Why is that." I asked. She stayed quiet for a while. I assumed she wasn't comfortable with the question and fell asleep.

I turned over so my back was facing her. "Because everytime I do something bad happens. I've heard that word so much in my life and I'm sick of it. I want to be rid of it and titled as the 'cancer kid'" She ranted from behind me.

I breathed a chuckle. "You got that nickname too?" I asked, turned over to face her this time. She was already facing me.

I could see her through the small slit of moonlight thay seeped through the space of the blinds. It complimented her face well, for a cancer kid.

Camila just continue to look at me. I was doing the same. I reached my hand out and she grasped mine in hers, intertwining our fingers.

"Goodnight Y/N." She said and closed her eyes.

"Night Camila." I replied and closed me eyes, falling asleep quickly.

Loud beeping woke me up in the early morning. It only took my a few moments to notice that Camila's hand was limp in mine.

"Help!!" I screamed, panicking and struggling to remove the sheets from my body.

Jenny and a few other nurses came running into the room, checking the morphine and heart monitor.

Jenny held me away from the bed as a doctor came in and checked her. They wheeled her out after disconnecting her from the machines and into the ER.

Tears rushed down my face as I dug my nails into Jenny's arm. She rubbed my back and held me close to her.

"Wha-at happen!?" I hiccuped.

"I don't know. I heard you scream right as the beeping went off." Jenny explained.

This was why I'd told my friends to live their lives. This is why I never wanted a roomie. This is why I never get close to someone.

Jenny pulled me to my bed and laid next to me, letting my lay on her chest and calm down. She brushed her fingers through my wig as I stared at the wall.

Camila could be dead for all I know. I just pray to God she isn't.

I had fallen asleep from exhaustion and woke up a few hours later. Instead of hearing one monitor beeping, I heard another.

Jenny was gone, so I turned around to see Camila in her bed. More wires than before were hooked up to her. Instead of a regular breathing tube, a giant one used for coma's was lodged into her mouth. She looked dead.

A doctor came in with a clipboard and I struggled to get my words out. "Is she okay?"

He looked up at me, a sad look crossing his face. "Her heart almost gave out. We still have to go through a few more scans but we think the cancer has spread."

I heard cries, wiping my head around to see Lauren, Dinah, Normani and Ally standing there. I hadn't even noticed them when I woke up.

They looked over at me, blotchy face and tears falling continuously and rushed to me. They each found their way to hug me, crying together.

I'd only known this girl for a few days and here I was, crying with her friends like I'd known her all my life.

"She's a fighter, she'll beat this." I whispered. I didn't know much about Camila, but I knew anyone who had been doing this for more than a year was a fighter. She would make it.

Camila continued to say unconscious for two days so far. The girls had come in for long periods of time, talking to Camila and making sure I was okay.

Camila made no sign of waking up. She wasn't in a coma, she just needed her rest. The cancer had in fact spread, but the tumors stayed the same. The cancer only spread around the lungs more, no where else in her body. I would say it was good news but it really wasn't.

I was lunch around the girls had left but promised to come back tonight. Jenny came in with my usual order and set it on the plastic table that sat on my lap.

She placed her hand on my back and rubbed up and down. "How you feeling?"

"Terrible." I said truthfully and stabbed my fork into the leaves of the salad.

"She'll wake up. She'll be okay." Jenny said.

"I really hope so." I whispered. I didn't feel like eating, but I knew Jenny would force feed me if I didn't.

I finished my food and took the chocolate bar and placed it by Camila. I'd set mine by her side so when she woke up she could be happy about something.

If she woke up.

I turned on the TV and instantly went to F•R•I•E•N•D•S and began watching a new episode. Half way through I heard a wrapped open.

My eyes widened and I turned my head, seeing Camila awake and about to bite into the chocolate bar.

"Jenny!!" I yelled before jumping out of bed and onto Camila's.

I found myself on top of her and hugging the life out of her. I felt her chuckle and squeeze me as hard ands she could.

"Don't scare me like that again." I whispered.
