Me Before You(Camren)

Chapter 15

I finally was able to communicate. The swelling has went down and I was able to breathe without hurting when I breathe in. It’s been three weeks since surgery and I felt brand new and it was all because of Lauren. Speaking of..

‘Hey Camz” she said as she entered the room with a tray of food. I was starving it was around 1 in the afternoon and to be honest lately I’ve had such an appetite. The color of my skin was coming back. My hair was getting fuller I was surprised after all this time that it didn’t fall out all it did was lose its color.

“Hey Lolo what’s for lunch today? I asked trying to get a look at the tray.

“It’s actually your favorite Pizza! She said excitedly as she handed me the tray from her hands. I was happy because it was exactly what I was craving. I took a bite and moaned at the taste and Lauren chuckled. As I put the pizza back on the tray and took a sip of my drink Lauren put her arm across my leg and put her palm on the bed to hold herself up.

“Thank you for bringing this to me how was your day so far? I asked her.

“Hmm it was tiring tbh it’s so many people to take care of but it’s my job and I love helping people get better. What about you how was your day so far?

“I was reading To Kill a Mockingbird all day. I Said picking up the book showing it to her as she looked and smiled.

“Something’s never change I see you used to read that book so much back than when we were younger. She chuckled.

“Yeah.. Lauren I’m sorry for everything I should’ve told you as soon as I knew what was going on. I was a coward and I didn’t want to ruin your life I just didn’t want to be a burden on you. But I shouldn’t have left you and I’m sorry for that. I say while taking a hold of her hand and squeezing it.

“I’m not going to pretended I wasn’t hurt because I was Camz and I needed you these past years. She said and I felt a tear on the back of my hand. I put my palm on her cheek to make her look at me and you could see the pain in her eyes. The hurt was radiating off her skin and I felt bad I felt as if it was all my fault. I should’ve been here for her.

“What do you mean Lauren what happened? I asked wiping a tear from her cheek.

“My mom’s gone she’s dead she had cancer and was sick and there was nothing I could do about it. I wasn’t able to save her. It was like she just gave up on me. Us, us she gave up on us my dad and my siblings. It was hard for all of us and I couldn’t do anything to help. She said and laid her head on my chest and started sobbing. Her whole body was shaking and all I could do was hold her whisper sweet nothing in her ear.

“I’m here now Lauren I’m sorry for everything but I promise you I’m not going anywhere. I said kissing her head and rubbing her back soothingly.

“Mhm Dr. Jauregui we have an emergency in room CC7. Nurse Hernandez said as she entered the room Lauren popped up wiping her face and fixing her clothes. There was always something I disliked about that bitch. She just pisses me off and gives me a bad vibe and I don’t like it.

“Miss Cabello. She nodded her head at me with a smirk on her lips.

”Hernandez. I said glaring at her god I hate her so much she just makes me want to beat her ass for some reason. Lauren glances at both of us then smiles sadly at me and I glare at Ally.

“Come Nurse Hernandez we have to go” Lauren says as they exit the room. I sigh then pick up my book putting the tray to my side because I lost my appetite.

Later that day Dinah come to visit me with Normani.

“Hey Cheche why did you never tell me about Laurens mom? I asked her and she glances back at Normani and then back at me.

“Honestly I never really thought about it. I didn’t think it was my place to tell you I thought you would’ve rather heard it from her. She said rubbing my shoulder.

“Yeah but I still feel like shit I feel like this was all my fault you know. I said looking down ashamed.

“Mila you can’t blame yourself for this. Even if you did stay this still would’ve happened. You can’t blame yourself for something you can’t prevent you know. It was hard for Lauren yes she could’ve use the comfort but even if you were there she would’ve shut you out. He dad was really bad his was taking it the worst out of all of them. There was literally nothing no one could’ve done they all were sad. Her dad started drinking too much and ended up in the hospital because his liver was failing. The kids they didn’t even come out of their rooms and no one could get through to them it took them a long time to. You can’t blame yourself Mila. She said sitting next to me rubbing my back.

“I know but I still feel at fault because I can’t do anything to help you know. When she told me about It I wasn’t able to really say anything. I know I lost my mom to but I really didn’t care you know because she wasn’t there for me. So I really can’t say I know how it feels because I don’t. She needed me and that’s what she told me herself and I wasn’t there I left her alone Dj. I said crying in her arms.

“Chancho that isn’t your fault you guys were young you didn’t know it happened after you left. She was 17 she didn’t know that at that age she would lose her mom hell no one knew not her dad not Taylor or Chris. Like I said you can’t prevent bad because hell if you could you wouldn’t be here right now who knows you and Lauren would probably be married living the life. I Know it hurts I know how it feels not being able to comfort someone you love. Because that day when we were young and you found Normani in the dinner. I hated myself for not being able to protect her but that wasn’t my fault either. Dinah said.

I looked up at her and she sadly smiled at me and wiped the tears from my face. Dinah always knew what to say to make me feel better. That’s why she was my best friend and honestly no one not even me could ask for a better friend than Dinah.
