I Knew I Loved You (Camren FanFic)

Chapter 8 - The Hospital

Lauren's P.O.V.

After trying to process those words Dinah had said on the phone, I quickly picked my phone up and held it to my ear.

"I'm on my way right now!" I answer back in a hurry. I hang up and told Keaton what had just happened. He didn't look too happy but if this guy had a heart, he would show some sort of pity.

"Uh.. it's okay.. I'll see you later then I guess.." He sighed. 

"I'm really sorry! We can do this another time!" I yell back as I'm walking out the diner. Why did I say that last part? I didn't even want to go on this date with him earlier. What made me think I was going to want to go on another? I guess that's just me, being really, really kind, unlike him.

As I walked out of the diner, I called a taxi and waited in front of the diner. They said they would be here in 10 minutes but it seemed so much longer. 

As the taxi pulled up towards me, I quickly hop in and tell the driver to go straight to the hospital. The driver stepped on the gas, knowing I was in a hurry, thank god though. I'm in the backseat, impatiently tapping my foot on the ground. "Cmon Camz... stay strong for me." I whisper to myself. Tears started to form in my eyes and I tried to hold back as possible but I couldn't. The thought of Camz being in the hospital terrified me more than anything. Why was she in there? What did she do? She doesn't deserve this, at all.

I wipe my tears crawling down my cheek and look up to see the driver coming to a red light at a stoplight. There was so much traffic in front of us, it was going to be impossible to even get to the hospital. I slipped the driver a twenty dollar bill, totally aware that the ride did not even cost more than six dollars. I took off my heels and started running to the hospital. I refuse to wait any longer, I had to see Camz.

(10 minutes later)

I finally reached the entrance of the ER and found Ally, Normani, and Dinah sitting in the waiting room. I quickly rushed through the entrance to go meet them. They all look up and came screaming my name, forming a group hug. We stayed like this for a couple of minutes until Dinah finally releases her grip on me, Normani as well. Ally, of course being the emotional one, still latched on to me. I squeeze her firmly to comfort her, and place a quick peck on her forehead, telling her everything's going to be okay. I wanted to cry right there but I couldn't. I had to stay strong not only for the girls, but for Camz too.

Ally's finally able to release her grip on me and I do the same to wipe her tears flowing down her cheeks.

"The doctor hasn't told us what the results were yet." Normani informs me.

"Well what exactly happened?" I ask concerned. Just as Normani was about to answer, a doctor said something from behind us.

"I can tell you what happened." The doctor spoke. We all turned around and listened to the doctor intently.

"Camila had a seizure. Apparently she overdosed on some sort of substance we are still trying to figure out." The doctor continues to explain.

"That's impossible though! Mila is clean and never had anything on her!" Ally protests.

"She was on anti-depressants." I blurted out. The girls looked at me in shock and the doctor nodded in understanding, took a note of what I just said, and left. 

"How did you know that.." Dinah asks sadly. I couldn't bear to look them in the eyes so I faced the ground instead.

"I saw them the first day we got to the mansion.." I confessed. Right now, I didn't want to argue but with the way things were going, it seemed like it was just getting started.

"SO YOU LIED TO US ABOUT IT LAUREN?! WHY DI--" Dinah starts to raise her voice at me but I cut her off by raising mine back.

"SHE LIED TO ME TOO D! OKAY?!" I yelled. The girls jumped back in shock that I had snapped at them like that for the first time. 

"I don't think she wanted anyone to know.." I say calmly. "I kept it a secret hoping she would come and talk to me. I took your advice and waited until she was ready." I finish.

"And look where it's gotten her Laur.." Dinah sobbed. I hated seeing my bandmates upset like this. I quickly wrapped my arms around Dinah and squeezed her for a hug. She returned the hug by doing the same. Soon Normani, and Ally joined in wrapping their arms around Dinah and I, forming a group hug, again.

The nurse came up to us, making us pull apart for a minute to listen to what she has to say.

"Girls, you can go in to see Ms. Cabello but one at a time. She hasn't woken up yet so don't try to wake her up. Please be gentle with her, she's very fragile right now." The nurse states. We all nod our head and the nurse walks off. I ask the girls if I could go in first and they nodded again in understanding.

I slowly walk in the room, to see her lifeless body laying there, hooked up to several machines. I sat down beside her and gently let my lips linger on her forehead. At this point, I let my tears stream down my face. I couldn't hold them in anymore. As I began to sit down, I held her hand and gently rubbed my thumb against the back of her hand. "Just why, Camz?" I thought.

"Cam, if you can hear me, then hear me out. You have no idea how much you mean to me. Your my best friend. We clicked right off the bat when we first met. I need you to wake up. I need you to pull through. I don't know what I would do if you weren't here. We have a whole journney to go through together. This is only the beginning. Please Camz, pull through...I love you." I manage to say while sobbing. Even though I mean't "I love you" in another way, I didn't care. I wanted her to know that. No, I needed her to know that.

I stand up from my chair and slowly started to walk out her room until I heard someone behind me say something.

"I...kn-know..." She croaks. I sat back down quickly and held her hand again. I was shocked she woke up so quickly. The nurse said she wasn't awake, yet she just talked to me.

"I...love... y-you... too." She trys to continue. 

"Shh.." I try to shush her quietly. She immediately places her index finger on my lips to keep me from saying anything more. I forgot how she hated that sound. Wow, that's Camz for you; Always trying to make light of any situation.

"Sorry" I chuckled. She smiles in return. I love her smile. She's so sweet, caring, unselfish, it's so hard to think that she's going through something. Something I still don't know about.

"Lo..I.... need... to.. t-tell... y-you... something.." She says.

"Camz, just rest for now okay? Can you do that for me? You can tell me when you wake up. I need you to rest alright?" I implored, while fluffing her pillow. She pulls me down to the chair, making me look into her eyes.

"I...didn't...do...this...to...myself..." She finally finishes. Right there, my heart shattered into a million pieces.
