Vanished

Chapter 2

Amara's POV

"No I can't leave! Not yet! Not now!" I yelled.

"AMARA!" I was shaken away to find Cameron shaking my shoulders. "Amara it was just a dream, your still here. I'm still here it's okay." He said calmly.

Cam knew about my nightmares that I've had but I never told him what they were about. He knows my biggest secret now.

He hugged me tight to his chest and I sobbed into his bare chest.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked.

"I'm just scared to tomorrow I think. I need this transplant. It's the only way to cure me. Remember when I lost a patch of my hair and I told you I was messing around with hair clippers? Yeah the doctors had to have my head to check the brain cell stem to make sure I was still good. I just don't want to go this soon. If I don't get this transplant I have 50 days. That's not enough!" I sobbed.

He held me tight and laid me back down on the bed. He whispered sweet nothings into my ear. I was in a state of peace until I realized that I was falling for Cam. It's like Hazel and Gus but I'm going to be the one that dies in the ending because Cam is 100% healthy. I fell into a deep sleep once more.

*skips to breakfast*

Everyone was aloud to eat besides me. If I ate I would not get the best reading and I don't want to go back. I was strictly on fluids for the day.

We walked out to my moms car and my tummy was turning. I was so nervous and I felt sick to my stomach. As I sat in the back seat Cameron got in on the other side. He climbed in and grabbed my hand. I blushed a deep red and he did too.

He calmed my nerves down to the point where I was glad he was here. I couldn't do this with just my mom. We would both would be a wreck.

The car ride felt like it went by at lightning speed. All the other times it went by really slow but this time was different. Cam didn't let go of my hand the whole ride, I wasn't complaining.

I knew this hospital like the back of my hand. Spending 3 months in here from time to time you get to figure a lot of stuff out.

We walked to the elevators, up to the 4th floor and to the right. I was greeted at the door by my usual nurse, Becky. She knew pretty much everything about me. Even that I have a freckle on my left buttcheek.

Cam still hasn't let go of my hand but I can tell he's shaking a little bit. I gave his hand a tight squeeze. Telling him that it's going to be okay.

Becky took us back to the hospital room that I would be staying in for the next couple hours up to a day. I laid on the bed and Cameron sat to my left and my mom on my right.

It was the same old same old. Pinch and burn. Then the IV was no problem because I'm so used to getting picked and poked it didn't even faze me. Cam was still a little bit shaken up.

Becky drew 1 pint of blood from me and walked out. This always tired me out. I turned on the tv and The Lorax was on which was my favorite movie. I'm such a kid at heart.

I closed my eyes for a split second but I couldn't seem to keep them much longer. I felt Cam squeeze my hand to tell me it was alright to take a nap. I gave him a smile and closed my eyes and took a well needed nap.

Cameron's POV

Seeing Amara go through all of this pain hurts. She pulls through and doesn't show the pain. The nurse comes back while Amara is asleep and tells us that she is going to pull through. She will need a blood transfusion but it seems like her body has fought off the cancer.

I have never been so happy in my entire life. She's my everything. I need to make her mine. I've had feelings for her sense we first met. Now that we are 18 I think it's time to express my feelings to her. Maybe I can take her mind off the whole Cancer deal for a few.

*skips to driving home*

We spent all day in that hospital room but now we are on our way back home. I texted my mom telling to not expect me tonight because Amara needs me.

I'm going to tell her tonight. I want to hang out in her tree house when I tell her.

"Cam I'm bored do you wanna go in the tree house and play cards?" She asks. I nodded.

My plan is working. I follow her up the ladder making sure she doesn't fall. We get up to the top and the view is gorgeous.

"Amara before I kick your butt in cards I need to tell you something."

"Okay. Go head!"

"I love you. I understand if you don't feel the same way. It's just ever since we met I can't keep my eyes off of you." I huff.

"Cam, I love you too. I have been waiting for this moment."

I walk over to her and grab her hand.

"Amara will you do the honor of being my girlfriend?"

"Of course!" She hugs me as tight as she can. She is a couple inches shorter than me so she stands on her tippy toes to be face to face and leans closer to me. I lean in and we both close our eyes and our lips meet.

They fit together like puzzle pieces that were made for each other. She pulls away and hugs me once more.

"I love you cam I always have and always will!" she whispers.

We make our way back to her bedroom leaving the cards in the treehouse forgotten and unused. She changes into her pjs and I rip off my shirt and pants and climb into bed next to her. She lays her head on my chest and soon enough we are both asleep.
