Please don't fall (Shawmila)

23

Lauren's POV

I didn't know what to do. Camilas wrists.... how did I never notice?

I was sitting next to her and didn't know what to do in this moment. Camila was crying against her knees and I could hear her gasping for air. I tried telling her to copy my breathing and to slowly calm down because it would all be Ok and that I wasn't mad at all but it seemed like she couldn't hear me.

Suddenly her eyes fell shut and she fell to her side. Luckily there was her pillow into which she fell but that didn't ease the stress I was felling in that exact moment. As soon as I saw that Camila had fainted right in front of me, I jumped out of her bunk and woke up the other girls, who had no idea of what was happening. I opened the bunk right next to Camilas which was Dinahs.

"Dinah, please wake up." My voice was trembling and I was shaking her awake. "Please." I shook her a little harder and she woke up but wasn't too amused."What do you want?" She said sleepy while rubbing her eyes. "Come with me please. Camila... she... she fainted." As soon as those words had left my mouth, Dinah jumped out of her bunk and pushed the curtains to Camilas bunk open. I could hear her trying to wake her up while I was waking up the others. "Call 911, now." Dinah said sternly. Ally, who had her phone in her hand immediately called and told them, with my help, what happened. They told us to get her in a comfortable position and that they would be here in 10 minutes.

I wasn't even sure if anyone of them had seen Camilas wrists and I didn't have the guts to tell them, it would be wrong to tell them...

I was sitting in the kitchen area staring blankly at the wall infant of me. The bus had stopped 15 minutes ago so the ambulance would find us. I felt numb, numb to everything that was happening around me. Everyone was around Camila, checking on her. I just couldn't. I felt guilty. Guilty for not noticing, guilty for not being there for her, guilty that I wasn't the friend she expected or needed... She was scared to tell me. Why?

After a few minutes there was a sound knock and 3 paramedics entered the room. Ally and Normani came out of the room and walked towards me. Normani kneeled down in front of me and put her hand on my knee.

"Lauren, none of this is your fault. Camila didn't faint because our you..." She doesn't know about the cuts. Ally sat besides me and also tried to reassure me that none of this was my fault and that I should stop crying. But I couldn't. Knowing the reason for Camilas current state, I just couldn't stay calm. If they knew, they wouldn't stay calm either.

The paramedics came out with Camila on a stretcher and told us that one of us could come with them. They all looked at me so in entered the ambulance with them. In the ambulance the asked me a few questions about how she was behaving before she fainted or if I knew why. Then they also asked me if I had seen the cuts on her wrists. I nodded slowly and told them that this might be the reason why she fainted. The wrote some things down and told me that the cuts are going to be stitched because they are really deep. That made me really sad... knowing that she didn't tell any of us.

The drive went on for about 5 minutes before we entered the hospital. They pulled her out on the stretcher and I followed suit. I sat in the waiting area like they had told me to and after a few more minutes the other girls arrived. They immediately rushed to my side and asked me about Camila. I answered but let out the part about her cuts.

"We should call Sinu." I told the girls. When they nodded, I pulled out my phone, got up to go to a more private area and dialed her number, getting a bit nervous. After a few rings she picked up.

S: Hello? Lauren? How are you? Why are you calling?

L: Hello...Sinu. Ehm... I don't know how to tell you this.

S: What happened? Are you ok? Are the girls Ok? How is Camila?

L: Yeah... about that.... ehm... something happened... to-

S: What? Are you ok?

L: It's about Camila... she-

S: Camila? What? What happened? Is she hurt? Lauren tell me please. I'm worried.

L: Yeah, well. She's in the hospital. She fainted about an hour ago.

S: Where are you? Should I fly in? I'm going to come now. Tell me in which hospital she is.... oh god.... I need to come now.... my poor baby.... what exactly happened?

L: She just fainted. We don't know more for now. We will have to wait. We're at the main hospital in Tennessee. And w-

S: I'm coming now! I have a flight in a few hours. I'll call you when I'm there. Bye..

And with that she ended the call. I put my phone down and just stared blankly at the wall... again. Camila... what are you doing?
