Me Before You(Camren)

Chapter 11

As I entered the bedroom I couldn't help but notice instead of Camz laying on the floor it was Normani. Which was unusual. Normani was the healthy type she took care of herself and Dinah of course. So when I saw her it really shocked me because I expected it to be Camila.

"Mani! Dinah said shaking her but only failing Mani wasn't budging. "Baby please! Dinah was already in tears by this time and I knew I needed to do something and quickly.

"Hey Mani I need you to wake up Dinah worried. I whispered in her ear softly. I looked down at her and I noticed something strange. I could see her cheek bones which was also unusual because her face was always full. I touched her stomach realizing she had got skinny.

"Dinah I hate to ask this but has Mani been eating a lot less lately? I asked her with my eyebrow rose.

"Yeah I noticed it she said she's been feeling ill I didn't pay attention though I've been busy with work and she's been busy with modelling. Dinah said and something made me think. Usually models are thin. I wasn't trying to stereo type anything but I was true. Mani always kept in shape and it's not faltered not even this much.

"Dinah I think she's trying to lose weight for something I don't know why for but she's really dehydrated and she's hungry but won't admit it. Did she eat when you guys went to pick up food? I asked

"No she said she wasn't hungry and already ate earlier. Dinah shrugged

"Well I don't think that's the case Dj I think she needs a lot of water and rest and food! I said emphasizing on the food part. Mani started waking up looking at us with a weird expression.

"What happened? she said.

"You passed out baby? Dinah said playing in her hair. I decided to put her on an IV and send her home ice cream could wait but her health couldn't so after the IV I sent her home to rest.

Dinah didn't expect and neither did I. I walked back into Camz room.

"So I guess this means no ice cream? She looked at me with sad eyes. Even though her and Dinah are best friends. Her and Mani still shared a strong relationship. So of course she was sad because Normani was her best friend as well.

"I mean not necessarily me and you can still go but I'm probably sure you're not up for that. I said looking at at Camila.

"Actually I am. I hear that ice cream can cure sadness. Camz said smiling up at me I wasn't so sure if she was preferring the ice cream or me to cure the sadness but either way it went I was happy to make her sadness go away.

"Okay I guess it's set then let's get u dressed for ice cream shall we Miss Cabello? I said laughing a little.

"Ew Lauren never say that again Camz is better any day. Camila said with her face contorted in disgust.

After ice cream we made our way back to the hospital. Camz was feeling a little tired and I wanted her to get ready but she needed to do her Chemo first. We weren't far so it only took us 10 minutes to make it back there. Even though I didn't like it I knew something in Camz was changing. I could see it she was getting better. I knew that. I felt that. But I wasn't sure if I believed that. When she came in she was so sick you could see the discoloration in her tan skin. Her skin wasn't even tan anymore it was pale and that was an unusual color for Camz. She had always been a beautiful tan Cuban. Her beautiful assets proven that also. I didn't understand how such a good person could be going through this throughout her whole life. Her family left her mother just died and she has cancer. All this sucked because Camz is my first love she was my first in everything and I wanted her to be my last but I knew that couldn't happen if she died. Camz was the type to be strong for everyone but herself. But in order for her to get through this she had to be strong for her as well.

"Lauren? Camz said pulling out my thoughts.

"Yes Camz? I said looking over at her as we pulled in to park.

Am I gonna get through this? Am I gonna die? She said. It choked me up because honestly I didn't know but I didn't want to tell her that.

"Camz I'm not gonna let that happen. If I did I couldn't live with myself afterwards. I can't even imagine a world without you my pink princess. I said looking at her in the eyes. I don't know exactly what pulled us together but the next thing I knew was her lips was locked with mine. They never got out of sync. And it was hard to pull away from her before her lips were still so soft. Her hand rested on my neck while mine was on her cheek. I pulled away resting my forehead on hers.

"I love you Lauren. She said and I was shocked but then I wasn't I just pulled back and smiled at her because I knew she was being sincere. "I always have and I always will. If someday I won't be here just know I'm sorry I left but I'm also sorry I'm not. I love who you became. I love what you are doing. I love how you are helping everyone including me. And for that I'm thankful. I'm so enamored by your courage and strength it takes to see people so sick and hurting everyday. And I couldn't be so infatuated by whom you are. Camila finished and I already was in tears. She was right about everything and I knew she was but I also knew a failed in somethings every day but I also knew I wasn't gonna fail on her and that was a promise.

"I love you too Camz. I said wiping my tears away. She just smiled and pulled me by my neck and kissed me with so much passion it was hard not for me to feel all the millions of butterflies in my stomach.
