Ok so I know I said I'd update next week but I had an idea and I knew I would lose it by next week so
----------------------------------------------
"You're right Tay. I have to be 100% honest with her. I'll tell her tomorrow. I look like shit right now." I say to my sister with a weak smile
"Alright good. Now go back to sleep it's 3 in the morning."
"Ok night. Thank you by the way. Love you"
"Love you too. Goodnight" my sister says to me before closing my door.

*Next morning*
"LO WAKE UP!" My sister says shaking me.
"Ugh what do you want Tay I'm tired leave me alone."
"It's Camila! She's hurt!" Taylor says while I jump out of bed not understanding her.
"What do you mean she's hurt?" My eyes widen in shock when she points to the tv in my bedroom with the news on.

"Singers Austin Mahone and Camila Cabello both in critical condition after a car accident last night in Miami. Three victims of the car accident who were hit by the supposedly drunk driver were confirmed dead this morning. " The news reporter shown on the screen says.

My jaw drops down to my ankles and I can feel tears running down my face.
"WHAT!" I scream. "TAY WHAT HOSPITAL IS SHE AT I HAVE TO SEE HER!" I shout while panicking.
"I'm not sure. Just try to calm down please. Mom knows and she'll take us there any minute now. Dad called Sinu. She's a mess right now. Camila's stable now but Austin's still in critical condition. She lost a lot of blood but they said she should be okay." My sister reassures me.
I feel a little better knowing that she'll most likely be alright.
God I hope she's ok. I hate Austin so much. Didn't he fail his road test like 6 times? He should not be driving. This asshole better watch out.

***2 hours later at the hospital***
My whole family and I arrive at the hospital a little while later. I see Sinu, Alejandro, and Sofi waiting outside of Camila's hospital room crying. I hug them all while the doctor walks out.
"So she's a lot better. There's one issue. When the cars collided the glass from the window cut into her neck rupturing her vocal cords." The doctor says.
"Wait. Can she speak?" I ask concerned.
"Not right now. But we hope after the surgery she might be able to be more verbal. We don't know for sure."
"Do you know if she will ever be able to sing again?" We all ask knowing that singing is the one thing Camila is so passionate about.
"Possibly. Like I said I'm not completely sure. But I have faith that she'll recover eventually." The doctor reassures us.
"You guys can go in now that she's awake."
I walk into the room to see a very pale looking Camila lying down in her hospital bed. She looks so tired. Is it strange that even when she's in the hospital she manages to still look beautiful as always?
"Mija." Sinu addresses to Camila.
"How are you feeling?" Sinu asks her.
Camila just looks at her with a very sad looking face.
"Oh yeah sorry I forgot." Sinu says. Camila sat up and ran her hand through her hair. Ugh her hair is so beautiful. I miss playing with it. I didn't realize What I was doing until my eyes met a pair of very weak looking brown ones. I blush realizing I was staring at Camila and that she had caught me. A small smile cracks at my lips and I see Camila smile back at me. I think that was the first genuine smile I've gotten out of her in a few months. God I've missed her smile. I sit down in the chair next to Camila's hospital bed.
"How ya feeling?" I ask her.
"Thumbs up for good thumbs down for bad" I continue with a small smile.
Camila signals a thumbs down with a small frown while looking at me. Wow this is the first conversation we've had that she hasn't ignored me or acted fake towards me. I put my head down with a frown. Next thing I know she's intertwining our hands. I swear I can feel my heart beating out of my chest. It's been so long but she still manages to make my heart skip just by looking at me. I look up at her and look her in the eyes.
I heard that when you see someone you love your pupils dilate and right now my pupils were probably bigger than my head.
She just looked at me and smiled while looking back at our family's. She motioned them to leave the room and I just looked at Taylor giving her the 'holy shit what's going on' look. She looked back at me with a big smile and a wink. I look at Camila with a confused look after they all leave.
"Why'd you make them leave?" I ask her. I withdrew my hand from hers and handed her a notepad and a pen so that she can respond.
"I wanted to talk to you" she writes.
"Yeah I kinda was thinking the same thing."
"Austin and I were supposed to go on a date but he picked me up drunk and I didn't realize until we were halfway there." She wrote
"Oh my god that's awful. He's so stupid." I tell her.
"Ya think" she writes
"It's a shame. He just waisted his whole life. He's going to jail now. He killed three innocent people. That's someone's family, Lo. What if that was your brother and sister in that car. I just wish I could have stopped him." She wrote
"It's not your fault camz." Damn I haven't called her that in a while.
She looks me in the eyes again. God she's gotta stop doing that my heart is gonna explode.
"I know that. I just wish I could have done something." She writes.
I give her a weak smile and take her hand in mine reassuring her that everything will be ok. She didn't pull her hand away which makes me feel way better.
We look each other in the eyes again and I notice her look down at my lips and then look at her feet. I felt my heart leaping out of my chest. Fuck I love this girl so much. I missed this side of her so much.
I just give her a small smile when she looks back up at me.
"It's alright camz I'd wanna kiss me too." I say joking around.
Her eyes widen and she opens her mouth looking like she's about to say something but not realizing that she can't talk. She just quints her eyes at me and flips me off with that cute little smile of hers.
"So do you think you and Austin are gonna break up because of this whole thing?" I ask her being genuinely concerned.
"No shit Sherlock." She writes on the notepad. "He'll be in jail and he almost killed me and didn't think twice about it." She continued with a sad smile.
"Hey camz it's ok. I know he's your first boyfriend and everything. This must be tough for you." I tell her.
She just looks at me giving me the 'yeah no shit' look.
We just smile at each other.
"Everything's gonna be alright camz. Trust me" I tell her honestly.
"I think you should spend some time with your family now. It's been like 15 minutes. They're probably worried." I told her.
She just nodded at me meaning 'yes'.
I left the room and told the Cabello's that it's all clear for then to go inside now.
When I left that room it wasn't like how I would usually end conversations with Camila. Usually it would be awkward and our conversations wouldn't be meaningful. This was different. It's how it was a year ago. She was back to the Camila that I loved so much. It only took a year and the impact of two cars colliding at 80 miles per our.
