After two hours of screaming and crying outside of Camila’s room the door finally opened and a man in a long white coat appeared, he sat down in the chair next to Clara and Lauren. Lauren looked at him, her eyes were puffy and bloodshot, her faces was tearstained just like her mom’s shoulder’s were now, ‘Well?’ Clara managed to get out between sobs, ‘we did everything we could..’ the doctor said.

 ‘she slipped into a coma’ the doctor finished ‘NO!’ Lauren screamed out before resting her head in her hands and crying. ‘I’m very sorry’ the doctor said before standing up and walking away, not much later the nurses also left Camila’s room and they were no longer allowed inside until tomorrow. Clara rubbed small circles on her daughters back, trying to calm her down. Lauren was violently sobbing in her mother’s arms mumbling things about Camila needing to be alright.

‘is everything alright you were gone pretty-‘ Jerry started but stopped when he saw Lauren’s tearstained face. ‘Nothing is ok’ Lauren snapped at him and Michael scowled at his eldest daughter. ‘The heart monitor flat lined.. she slipped into a coma..’ Clara explained with watery eyes, gasps were heard all around the room and the girls started crying again. Lauren climbed back into her bed and pulled the covers over her head softly crying not wanting to talk to anyone. She felt a tug at her arm and ignored it until she heard Ally’s voice ‘Lo?’ she sobbed, she held up the blanket for Ally  to crawl under it, Ally positioned herself next to Lauren and Lauren wrapped her arms around the smaller girl while planting a soft kiss on her temple. ‘She’ll be alright’ Ally whispered as Lauren rested her head on her chest, ‘believe me’ she continued Lauren just nodded her head in response and closed her watery eyes.

*beeeeeep* ‘Camz?!’ Lauren screamed ‘NO!’ she screamed before stumbling out of the room on her cast, ‘SHE’S DYING’ she screamed in the hallway but it seemed as one was able to hear her, everyone just walked straight past her, she held onto the railing along the wall and hopped around the corner where she saw the doctor from earlier that day ‘Hello?!’ she yelled but he just kept walking. ‘FUCK!’ she cursed before hopping back into Camila room. the machine was still flat lining and all sorts of alarms were ringing, she started to panic and waterfalls of tears were rolling down her cheeks. She dropped the crutches and ran over to the bed not caring about the cast, she started to perform CPR on the smaller girl, 28.. 29.. 30.. Breath.. Breath.. 1.. 2.. 3.. and so she went on for half an hour, desperately pushing down on the smaller girls chest. ‘Come on Camzi’ she cried out when she still didn’t breath, ‘you can’t fucking die!’ she screamed as she wrapped her arms around the girl crying onto her shoulder. She let go of the smaller girl ‘fucking breath!’ she screamed as she pushed down on the smaller girls chest again, ‘come on Camz I need you..’ she whispered as she kept pushing down on her small chest. ‘NOO!’ she screamed before collapsing onto the smaller girls chest, with tears rolling down her cheeks, violently sobbing.

‘LAUREN!’ a voice called in the distance, as she felt someone shaking her.  Lauren shot up in her bed and immediately felt Ally’s small arms wrap around her waist. Everyone in the room was watching her, fear evident in their eyes. Ally ran the fingers of her good hands through Lauren’s long dark brown hair ‘you’ve been screaming for half an hour’ her mother told her, ‘You didn’t wake up, I shook you for at least twenty minutes’ Ally told her in a worried tone, and that was when it hit Lauren ‘Camz!’ she called and Ally jumped a little at her sudden outburst ‘she died..’ she mumbled afterwards a thick tear rolling down her cheek. ‘It was just a nightmare’ Ally told her and placed her small hand on Lauren’s shoulder supportively, ‘she’s alright.. well.. you know what I mean’ Ally tried and Lauren just groaned before letting herself fall back on the bed. Ally sighed and this time it was her turn to wrap her arms around Lauren and soothe her.
