Me Before You(Camren)

chapter 13

Okay Camz are you ready? I asked and she nodded I put the mask over her face sending her into a deep sleep. Her eyes closed slowly and her breathing began to steady. Looking a the fragile women it was hard to believe that this was happening but it was scary to imagine the person you love not waking up if the surgery went wrong.

I shook my head from the thoughts I knew I could do this. I've been studying for over 5 years for this day. Although this is not the way I imagined it I had faith that my studying would pay off. 

"Okay guys this begins here are we all ready for this surgery? I looked around "if you're not ready you can leave now and we can replace you this is serious okay I want everyone to be on point don't mess up okay? I said and they all said "Yes doctor Jauregui".

Making the first incision to Camila chest in between her ribcage was by far the most hardest thing I had to do, but it needed to be done. I got the claps to spread apart ribcage to reach her lung. But the tricky part was I had to be careful to not come into contact with her heart because I could make it stop. I started to bring her lungs out of her chest and they actually came out pretty smoothly. Her lungs were a dark color because of all the smoking she had done at a young age. Camila was hard headed as well because no matter how many times I told her to stop she'd continue.

I grabbed the cooler holding her mother's lungs and I grabbed it out. I put the lungs back in place making sure to reattach everything correctly because if not her lungs won't function the correct way.

 I never wanted Camz to end up this way. I never wanted to see in such a way like I do now. But sometimes things don’t end the way you expect them. Sometimes there is no happy ending. There is no way you can map out how you want life to go for you. Because I promise if that was the case I would never have let Camz go through this by herself. I would’ve never let her mom treat her the way she did. Although some might say I’m selfish because of how I see this. I believe that she was brought to me for a reason. Maybe this was god’s way of assuring that I make up for my mom’s death. Somehow make an improvement of what I couldn’t stop not with my mom or the kid. This is my chance to save a life and its not just any life it’s the love of my life.

After surgery

“Yes DJ I’m sure everything will be okay”

“How do you know Lauren has she woke up yet? Dinah said.

“No not yet but trust me I check everything before I stitched her up DJ I’m sure she’ll be up soon and as soon as she is I’ll call you and let you know after I know she’s okay. I told Dinah before hanging up.

Dinah is such a good friend to Camz they been through so much together. Honestly I tore Dinah into shreds when I told her Camz was missing she wasn’t eating or sleeping. She was convinced every time we go out in public and it was a girl with long brown hair and a bow in her head it was Camila. Normani got so worried about Dinah from not eating and sleeping her body shut down and Normani was by her side the whole time. Each one of us was going through a tough time back then and it’s incredible how we all stuck by each other when Camz disappeared. Camila was the reason we all knew and loved each other without her none of us would have met.

Flash Back

Camila POV

This morning has been tough for me seriously no doubt. I knew no one me and my family just moved down here to Southside Miami. I had no one to tell my deepest secrets, no to tell how I was being abused by my so called dad. Absolutely no one to tell how I was being starved for days. That was until I med the brown eyed girl Dinah Jane. Dinah showed me around the school the first day I attended and she was extremely nice to me and even invited me to eat lunch.  I met Normani through her and it was the saddest way possible. I remember that night so vividly. Dinah and I went out to grab a bite to eat. Dinah had always has a crush on Normani but she was with this asshole of a guy who treated her like complete shit. That night I went to the bathroom in the dinner and she was in a stall crying her eyes out. AJ the guy she was with had put his hands on her and busted her lip. I calmed her down and Dinah came in after a few minutes since I didn’t come back quickly so she got worried. As soon as she saw Mani all you saw was anger in her eyes. She was pissed and you could tell. Even though Normani really didn’t know me or Dinah really the only thing she knew was Dinah and I are the biggest nerds ever. Even though she didn’t know us really she confided in us and we became closer especially her and Dinah. Dinah eventually told her about her feelings and they became a thing. When I met Lauren in that alley that night my parents kicked me out we just all connected in a way you would rarely see friends connect and that I knew would last a lifetime.

End of Flash Back

“Camz? I saw a flash of light go across my eyes.

“She’s up yes she just opened her eyes you can make your way here DJ I’ll see you soon. Lauren says as she hung up she just looked at me but I wasn’t able to talk when I tried a sharp pain was felt in my chest.

“You won’t be able to move around or talk for right now because of the stitches and pain you aren’t able to breathe on your own either but it’s going to be okay Camz. Dinah is on her way right now she’s been calling all day to talk to you which you won’t be able to do yet but eventually you will during the healing process. I love you Camz so much and you’re going to get through this and this time with me by your side.

I felt guilty after she walked out after what she told me. We should’ve already had gone through this together and I failed her I left without a trace and I made her sad for years on end but she was my Lolo and I was her Camz.
