Right Now (Camila/you)

four

The check up was delayed, but it went well otherwise. Still the same results as usual. The tumors hadn't grown nor shrunk.

It had been a few weeks since the scare and my check up. Camila was slowly recovering, but stayed herself as much as she could. She regained her voice again after a few hours and couldn't stop talking. I guess the thought if not being able to talk scared her.

The girls came over as much as they could. They even made me my own little bag out of the plenty of selfies we'd taken together as a get well type of present. It was really sweet. Camila was happy thay we had something matching.

Jenny came in smiling as she usually did, but something about her body language and the way she was looking at us was different.

"I've got exciting news for you girls!" Jenny exclamed, holding both our hands.

Camila and I looked at her in confusion.

"You're both well enough to go visit your families for a few days!" Jenny exclamed again.

Wide smiled spread and happy shout erupted from us as we hugged Jenny tightly and each other. I hadn't been able to go home in such a long time.

Camila and I ran to the windows, seeing it was pouring rain. We looked as Jenny with a pleaded look. "Could we wrap ourself in warm clothes and watch the rain outside? Only for a few minutes?"

Jenny sighed but didn't want to ruin the mood and agreed. She grabbed coats and blankets and hats. We placed the hats on our heads and sat in wheelchairs.

Coats were placed around us tightly and gloves wore. It was fall but our bodies were fragile and didn't have alot of body heat as we'd like.

Small oxygen tubs were placed in our laps and connected to our breathing tubes. It felt nice for a change of air, as strange as that sounds.

Jenny and another nurse took us to the front. Patients said hello and waved, other doctors and nurses said hello as well.

They went through the front door and the cool air hit our bodies. I looked over at Camila and say her smiling and looking around.

Jenny and the other nurse, I believe her name was Reagan, placed us just under the the cement roof that extended from the building.

"Ten minutes and we'll be back." Jenny warned and her and Reagan left.

Camila instantly reached for my hand and clutched it in her as she blew out a puff of breath. She smiled and looked over at me, literally grinning from ear to ear.

"I love the smell of fresh air, especially when you can see your breath; it means winter is coming." Camila said and squeezed my hand.

"Winter is my favourite season. I love watching the snowflakes fall from the sky and making snow angels. Thought I haven't made one in a long time." I sighed.

"Let's make a deal; by winter time we shall spend a few days together with each other's family's and make snow angels and build snowmen and nd watch the snowflakes fall from the sky." Camila said with bright expression and look at me.

"Camila, that deal will only work if we improve and the tumors change. We can only hope." I said. Camila frowned slightly but rose her lips up again.

"Then let's hope. And pray real hard. We can do it, I know we can." She held our hands up in front my face.

I let my head rest on her shoulder. She sighed and rested her head on mine. Cancer kids were always friendly and easily befriended. It was just being careful to not become so close because of the conciquences when something happened to you.

It was near the evening that our families came to sign us out of the hospital. We were given our own oxygen tanks that held enough for a few days. If it wasn't my parent were given the same instructions they were given for the past few years.

We waited by the door for the Cabello's to finished and walk out with them. Camila and I walked slowly together and stayed quiet. Camila's arm stopped me from moving forward as she stood in front of me.

"Y/N, can you promise me?" Camila asked quietly.

"Depends." I answered honestly.

Camila fixed the hat on her head and sniffled because of the cold air. "Promise that you'll come back. To the hospital, that is."

Camila had grasped both my hands. I found that we held hands alot now. I guess that was just a way of letting each other that we were there. Our thing.

"I'll come back, I can promise you that. In a few days we can be roomies again." I smiled. "You can text or call me whenever. You've got my number." We'd given each other our numbers to keep in contact even if we were leaving for a few days.

Camila lunged forward and hugged me tight, squeezing me until I hugged her just as tight.

"I'm going to miss you." My heart fluttered at her words.

"I'm going to miss you too." I said sincerely.

I rubbed her back and she sighed contently. I found myself kissed the side of her head out of the emotions I was feeling. We were departing and I felt sad.

"Y/N! Someone's waiting at home for you! We've go to go!" My mom yelled, breaking up the moment.

Camila gave me one more smile before walking to her family, keeping one our hands connected until our fingers were out of reach, kind of like in the movies.

I found myself walking backwards just to watch her get into her car and drive off before getting into the back seat with my sister.

I'd really become fond of Camila thsee past couple of weeks. She was my first friend I'd made since I'd gotten cancer. It felt nice.

Mom pulled into the driveway and parked before looking back at me. Katie was fast asleep with her head on my lap. I'd missed her and these sister moments.

"Ready to go inside?" Mom asked, taking her seat belt off and unlocking the doors.

I nodded and undid mine and Katie's and took her in my arms. I passed her to my mom and got out myself. I shut the door and followed her to the front door and waited as she fumbled with the keys.

"Who's here by the way? You never told me." I asked as I shoved my hand into the pockets of my coat.

Mom just smiled and opened the door, revealing all of my friends and family.
