The Art of Loving You

Chapter 10

Camila's POV

Running a hand through my hair, I looked into the mirror and sighed. I was slowly gaining my weight back, and I missed the girls but they wouldn't answer my calls or texts. "Why do I have to be so fucked up?" I whispered to my reflection.

Quinn came through the door. Suddenly she let out a strangled scream of pain and fell to her knees, clutching her stomach. The floor beneath her became wet.

"Q!" I yelled rushing over to her, "What's wrong? Are you hurt?" I asked worriedly as I felt to my knees beside her.

"The babies!" She managed to get out before letting out another scream of pain.

"Rachel!" I yelled.

The sound of running feet reached my ears before Rachel appeared in the room. "What's wrong? What happened?" She asked worriedly.

I looked up at her, my eyes filled with panic. "We have to get her to the hospital, the babies are coming now!"

"Now?!" She asked. "But you're early by three weeks!" She said in a panic.

"Rachel!" Quinn warned, letting out another cry of pain, she had tears streaming down her cheeks.

Taking a deep breath, Rachel rushed over and helped me lift Quinn to her feet. We slowly began making our way to the front door.

"Zayn! Quinn's having the babies! Grab her bag and meet us at the hospital!" I yelled before Rachel and I took Quinn outside.

Quinn cried out, gripping Rachel's shoulder so hard her knuckles turned white.

"We've got you Q." I said softly, opening the back door to the car, waiting until Rachel climbs in before sliding Quinn in behind her.

Shutting the door, I moved to the driver's side and quickly climbed in, starting the car. I looked back at Quinn and Rachel. Rachel was holding Quinn close to her as she typed into her phone. Quinn was crying through closed eyes. She was holding back a scream.

Driving as I quickly as I can, I reach the hospital in record time, throwing the car in park. Climbing out I turn to Rachel. "I'm going to get a wheelchair."

With that said I ran inside, grabbing a wheelchair before rushing back outside. I stopped beside the car, opening the door and helping Rachel lift Quinn out of the car. Quinn was surprisingly light for someone carrying two babies. We rushed inside and Quinn was immediately taken back along with Rachel.

Sighing, I ran a hand through my hair, pacing back and forth before deciding to grab a snack from the vending machines.

Making my way to the little hallway, I pause upon spotting Normani and Lauren... kissing?

Clearing my throat, I try to force back the pain and confusion that I know is showing in my eyes. I took a deep breath before walking closer to them. "Hey." I said softly causing them to pull away.

Lauren grew shy. "Hi." She mumbled, hiding herself behind Normani's tall frame. She didn't look at me.

Biting my lip, I looked down for a moment before looking back up. "Can I, um can I get past you?" I asked softly, signaling to the snack machine behind them.

They moved out of the way so I could get passed without saying a word. Lauren stayed hidden behind Normani. I knew she'd do this. She'd get so used to being without me that me suddenly going back into her life would throw her off balance, but she'd eventually get used to it again.

Taking another deep breath, I put the change in the machine and got a Smores poptart. I pulled the food from the dispenser and sighed. I turned back to them. "Laur, I don't bite." I said softly, noticing her uneasy and nervous look.
