The Ghost Of You

Unexpected

Camila's Pov

I was staring at Lauren while she sleeps. Memorizing every detail, every mole and freckles on her face.

What happens when I finally completed my mission here.. even tho I don't really know what it is.

"I don't want to leave you" I whispered while caressing her cheek.

"Cold.." Lauren muttered and I smiled at her cuteness.

"Is something wrong?" she asked  with her eyes still closed.

"I'm fine..just thinking.." I whispered

"About what?" She asked opening her eyes

"You" I whispered

"What about me?" Lauren sat up on the bed yawning.

"I'm sorry I woke you up" I said and she smiled.

"I like waking up.. as long as you're the first thing I see" Lauren said winking at me.

"Cheesy" I giggled

"So.. you visit your mom yet?" She asked and I shook my head no.

"Why?" she asked picking up her phone on her night stand.

"I'll visit her soon" I said and she smiled

"Its 2 in the morning.. maybe you should visit her now" Lauren said as she lay on the bed.

"Okay... go back to sleep" I whispered and she nodded closing her eyes.

"Come back to me" She whispered and I leaned in. Lingering my lips on hers.

"Cold" she whispered and I giggled.

"After you visit your mom maybe you should visit me in my dreams too" Lauren said and I smirked.

"We'll see" I said and she giggled.

....

I was back in our house walking around and thinking of how I loved living here. I walked upstairs and went in my room.

It was exactly the way I left it. Messy bed, clothes scattered on the floor and open books on my desk.

I missed this

I went in my parents room and found my mom sleeping hugging one of my shirts. Her cheeks were tear stained and she looks so tired.

"Oh mom.." I sighed sitting on the bed just admiring her.

I layed down beside her and closed my eyes.

Focus

Focus

I opened my eyes and I hugged her so tight that I woke her up.

She turned around and her eyes widen when she saw me. She immediately sat up and scanned the room. She looked at me and cried.

"Hi mom.." I whispered as I sit up on the bed and hugged her.

"You're here" She whispered and I nodded.

"I'm here" I said holding back the tears in my eyes but I failed. "I missed you so much" i whispered.

"I'm so sorry honey" Mom whispered never letting me go.

"I know.." I unwrapped my arms around her and wiped the tears off her face.

I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"You know why I'm here?" I asked and she shook her head no.

"I'm here to prove to you that Lauren and Dinah are telling the truth... They're helping me remember and figure out my purpose here" I said and she nodded.

"I'm sorry for not believing them.. especially you.." Mom said holding my hands.

"I miss you so much baby.. you don't deserve this" Mom said hugging me and I reciprocated.

"I can't stay long mom" I said and she nodded. "I have to get back"

"Where?" Mom asked and I smiled.

"Lauren" I said smiling and mom nodded smiling

"You like her?" She asked and I nodded.

"You'll be here tomorrow?" She asked and I nodded again.

"You can't see me but I will always be here" I said and she nodded.

"I'm sorry about what happened honey.. I didn't know." Mom said and I looked at her confused.

"Know what?" I asked but she faded. Maybe she woke up.

What is she talking about?

I opened my eyes and I was still in my parents room. It was morning and mom was sitting on the bed crying.

I sighed and went back to Lauren. She was still sleeping so I layed down beside her and waited for her to wake up.

It was 9 in the morning and she's still sleeping.

Time to wake her up

"Lauren.. wake up"

"Lo"

I held her arms hoping the cold would wake her up but it didn't.

"Lo!" I yelled but her eyes are still closed.

"Lauren! Dinah's here" Her mom knocked on the door

"Lauren?"

"Honey.. open the door" Her mom was getting worried so she called Lauren's dad.

"Lauren wake up or I'm coming in" Her dad said but she's not waking up.

I was getting scared. I looked at her closely and she was starting to  breathe heavily.

"Why aren't you waking up!" I yelled with tears streaming down my face.

She finally opened her eyes and gasped for air. She sat up feeling her chest with her hand.

"Lo what's happening?" I was scared and I didn't know what to do.

She was looking at me scared and tears are rolling down her cheeks

"Baby what's wrong?" I asked but she just kept breathing heavily.

Her parents burst in the room, their angry face changed into a worried one and quickly ran to Lauren.

"Honey are you okay?" Her mom asked and Lauren shook her head no while gasping for air.

"Come on.." Her dad carried her out of the room.

"What's going on?" Dinah asked with her eyes following Lauren out the door.

"We'll take her to the hospital.." Lauren's mom said as she grabs the car key and Dinah nodded.

"I'll go with you" Dinah said and Lauren's mom nodded.

As soon as we stopped outside the emergency room, her dad quickly ran and opened the car door carrying Lauren inside the hospital.

"Help.. my daughter.. s-she can't breathe" Her dad yelled and the nurses rushed in with a wheeled stretcher.

"What happened?" The nurse asked her dad while the doctor examines Lauren.

"I-i don't know she was already panting when we saw her" Her dad said and the nurse nodded.

I looked at Lauren and she was looking at me.

"You're gonna be okay.. okay?" I said and she was just breathing heavily.

"Please.. help her" Dinah said and Lauren was wheeled out of the emergency room leaving me, her dad and Dinah.

"I hope she's okay" Dinah whispered

Please be okay

....

Happy or sad ending?
