Finally he was here. We've been here for a while.

"I'm Dr. Sullivan. We've ran a few tests on your friend and it seems that he's gone into a coma."

We all looked confused.

"A coma...?" Taylor said.

"He has a severe injury in the back of his head, leading to brain damage. Did you not see this?"

A few of us gasped.

"We thought he just passed out by the couch. We got really caught up in the moment when we saw that he wasn't waking up.. there might be blood on the floor." Hayes said, shrugging his shoulders.

We exchanged confused looks.

"Well we've called his mom and she's taking the next flight here. We don't know when he will wake up, so I suggest you guys to come check in every once in a while. We'll know what happened when or if he wakes up."

"If?" Jack J looked sick.

"There could be a chance that your friend might not ever wake up, but we're looking on the positive side."

Tears rolled down our faces. I leaned into Jack.

"Can we see him?" Shawn asked.

"Come with me." We all walked into the room where Cam was. His eyes were closed, and he was hooked up to weird machines. I lost it. I've been following him on Vine forever and I love seeing his silly YouTube videos and his smile brightens my day. When I met him a couple days ago, He was so happy and lively. I would never want to see that go away.

Rarely do I see a boy cry, and even more rarely have I seen a Magcon boy cry. But they all were. Not like I was, but I saw tears. I leaned into Jack's chest.

"I.. I don't think I can leave. I don't want to leave him." Nash sat on a chair.

"What are we going to tell the fans?" Taylor asked.

"Should we keep it a secret?" Carter asked.

"They'll be worried about him not posting." Sam said.

"Can you guys just.. stop. Please. We're worried about Cameron not his fans right now." Matt said.

"Listen, you hate this just as much as I do Matt but people are going to start wondering and asking questions. We can't just ignore them" Jack G said.

"Do you want me to notify everyone on Twitter right now?" Nash held up his phone. His other hand held his head.

"Go ahead." We all agreed.

"@NashGrier: Cameron got hurt and fell into a coma. We don't know why or how, but we are hoping for the best. Pray for him and be strong. Love u bro"

I looked at my twitter feed. Immediately, it had thousands of retweets."

"@jackgilinsky: You can pull through Cam. We're all waiting for you to get better. We'll always be by your side"

"@paigemholland: We love you Cam. Seeing you in this hospital bed breaks my heart but I know that you'll get better. Love you. I'll see your smile soon"

One by one, the guys tweeted. Thousands of girls were heartbroken and terrified. Terrified of losing their sunshine.

"@jackgilinsky: glad I have the boys and @paigemholland here with me for a shoulder to lean on. she's amazing."

I retweeted all of their tweets and put my phone away. We all sat in the room with silence.

Nash answered a call from Cameron's mom.

"I'm scared of losing him" Jack said.

"Me too." I replied.

After a few hours, We decided to leave. Nobody wanted to, of course. We'll visit him every single day.

We got into the cars and went back to Jacks. Everyone was making and receiving phone calls left and right. We all looked where Cameron passed out and sure enough, there was blood in the carpet. We sat in the basement. I checked my twitter feed. I had thousands of notifications.

"@gilinskyfan09682: Stay AWAY from Jack, you trashy WHORE! Nobody likes you. Ugly!!!!"

I showed Jack.

"Yeah, it happens. Ignore people like her. She has like 5 numbers in her user."

"Who would even say something like that!" I started to reply something to her.

Jack stopped me. "No, never reply."

"Why not?"

"People like that feed off of negativity. Be the bigger person and ignore it."

"Okay." I looked at my followers. 4 thousand? Already? I didn't feel amused. All I could think about was poor Cam.

I looked at my calls. 7 missed from mom. Greeeeat.

"Be right back" I walked up the stairs as I tried reaching my mom.

"Hello? Paige? Are you okay?"

"Yeah mom I'm fine."

"Why haven't you been answering us? You were suppose to help us with the garden today."

"I slept at Ava's and I got a call that mine and Jack's friend Cameron went into a coma and we went to go see him. We're all just freaked out."

"Oh my goodness! That's terrible! I'm so sorry. You can call me whenever you need to. You're at Ava's right?"

I looked around at Jack's living room.

"Yup."

"Okay sweetie, call me if you need me. Love you. bye."

"Love you too, bye."

"Paige!" Jack called. I ran down the stairs.
