Camren (One Shots)

White Walls

Lauren's head was in her hands. Her eyes shut from exhaustion. Small and silent tears were staining her cheeks. Slow breaths inhaling and exhaling from between her parted lips. Her back was hunched over. Her hair was a mess but she didn't care. She was too tired to care. She was also uncomfortable, the chair was like a stone against her back.

She was by herself, there was nobody else in the room. Not even hers or Camila's parents. She didn't know where they were but she didn't care either. The room was cold, the walls made the room look cold too. The artwork hung on the walls to try and warm the room up but they were doing the opposite.

Every time she heard steps she would lift her head to see if the person was approaching her but they would just walk by, leaving Lauren to hang her head again.

This time when she did hear footsteps, she didn't look up. But of course this time, the person was coming towards her.

"Lauren Jauregui?" The man in the white coat asked. Lauren lifted her head at hearing her name. He had a clipboard in his hands, a pen behind his left ear, a stethoscope hung around his neck, glasses placed on his nose and a head of blonde hair. His name tag read "Dr. Ray."

"That's me," Lauren said. She was tired, she just wanted to hear if Camila was okay.

"I have good news and bad news. What would you like to hear first?" He asked. He looked upon her with pity, she could see it in his eyes. She immediately prepared for the worst.

"Bad news first, please." She said gently. She sounded fragile, Dr. Ray knew that the news would break her. He felt horrible.

"Camila passed away, we tried to revive her but it was unsuccessful." He watched before him as a mix of emotions passed through the younger woman's face. Pain. Anger. Sadness. Confusion. A few others that he couldn't put his finger on. They all passed by quickly before a mask was placed upon her face. She was stone. He knew she was broken and couldn't be repaired.

"And the good news?" She asked quietly, as if it would reveal her emotions.

"She passed in peace. No pain, nothing like that at all. She didn't die in pain. Would you like to see her?" He asked.

With a nod of her head, she stood up and followed the doctor to Camila's room. They stopped in front a closed door.

"I'm sorry for your loss." Dr. Ray said before he walked off down the hall.

Lauren watched him go for a few seconds before finally turning to face the door. With a deep breath she opened the door, kept her eyes straight so she wouldn't be looking at the bed, as she walked in the room. She shut the door behind her and finally braced herself. With a hesitant look at the bed, Lauren saw her. She looked at peace, her arms rested beside her sides of her body. Her head resting on the clean white pillow, her brown hair down around her head to rest upon her shoulders. Lauren looked over to the machine to check for a heartbeat, just to see that it was switched off.

She walked over to the bed and pulled a seat right up to the bed before sitting down. She brushed her finger on Camila's cheek before letting the tears fall. They fell down her cheeks like the water in a sun shower. Slowly, but peacefully. They stained her red cheeks and some graced upon her lips. Licking them, she rid them of the tears. Wiping her eyes just for more to fall down.

"I wish this didn't happen. This wasn't meant to happen. We were supposed to live our lives together. You were supposed to become a famous singer and I was supposed to become a movie director. We had our whole lives planned out. We were both going to do amazing things. I just can't believe it's all been taken away from us because of your accident. You were my best friend Camz. My rock. And now you're gone and I don't know how I'll survive. I know that you wouldn't think so but I believed in you. I still do. You were going to be so successful and it hurts knowing that nothing will happen now. I love you so much and I always will. Just because you're gone doesn't mean I'll ever stop. You were it for me, I'll never love anyone like I ever loved you. You were everything to me, I would do anything to bring you back but I know that it isn't possible and that breaks me. I want you back. The memories I have of us together, I will never forget them. They will always be stored away in my mind. And when I miss you I'll grab one off my mind shelf and play them on repeat. People say that after someone passes away you slowly forget things about them. Their laugh, their smile, their voice and other things like that. I don't want to forget those about you Camz. I don't want to forget and it sucks because I feel like I will. I don't want to forget, I want to remember and I want to tell people all about how your laugh was my favourite sound and your smile warmed my insides. I know I have videos and stuff but it's not the same. I'm really sorry that you had to go this way, I was looking forward to growing old with you. Would you have wanted that? I hope so. We could've gotten married on a beach, a small wedding because I know how much you dislike some of your extended family. The girls would be our bridesmaids. We would go to an island somewhere for our honeymoon. We would have two kids, a boy and a girl called Lucy and Evan. We would've been such an amazing family but that's all gone now. I'll miss you Camz. I love you."
Lauren wiped away her tears and stood up from her seat. She put the seat back in its original place and started walking to the door.

"I love you too, Lauren." She heard from behind her. Her head whipped  around just to be greeted by the sight of a smiling and very much awake Camila.

"What the fuck." Lauren's eyes felt like they were going to pop out of her head. What the hell was going on?

"I'm okay Lauren." Camila said. She could see the taller girl processing things.

"A zombie! It's a fucking zombie!" Lauren screamed as she ran out of the room leaving Camila in hysterical laughter. She wasn't a zombie, she knew that.

I am so dead Camila thought. Literally.
