Matt's POV

One second we were having fun, doing a grind off. The next second people are screaming and Aaron told me to call an ambulance. I look over and see my sister on the floor.

An ambulance arrived and took Hailey away. We were all know sitting in the waiting room.

"What the fuck is taking so long?" I said loud enough for everyone to hear. Caila came over and sat me down.

"It'll be okay." She said. I took her hand. All I could think about was Hailey and if she will be okay.

Cameron and Natalie werent sitting together. Weird. Natalie was holding her head, she's been doing that a lot lately.

"Hailey Espinosa?" Everyone stood up and the nurse looked around nervously.

"I'm her brother." I said stepping forward shaking her hand.

"Right this way. You can bring 2 other people with you for now." She said. I choose Caila and Aaron. We followed the nurse into Haileys room.

"The doctor will be in shortly." She said walking out. Hailey had wires and tubes on her and tubes up her nose to help her breath.

I walked over to her a sat at the chair next to her bed. I couldn't stand seeing her like this. There was a knock at the door.

"Hello, I am Doctor Patrick." The doctor said shaking our hands. We all found a seat.

"We looked at you sister and we've come to the conclusion that she has pneumothorax, a collapsed lung." He said looking at all of us.

I put my head in my hands.

"We aren't sure how this happened but-" I cut Dr. Patrick off.

"I do." I said. I picked up my head and looked at him.

"She was captured and to get her back, her kidnapper told me I had to do exactly what he said. I kicked her in her chest twice, pretty hard." I said. I started crying.

"I didn't want to, but I did. To keep her safe from Carter." Caila hugged me.

"Mr. Espinosa, your sister will recover in time but for know she will have to stay here, for about 2 weeks, so we can make sure she can breath on her own." He said. I nodded and the doctor walked out of the room.

"Oh, all your friends can come in know." He said as he left.

"Aaron could you go get everyone?" I asked. He got up and walked out of the room. Soon the small white room was filled with people, all because of me.

Cameron's POV

I was walking the halls, thinking about what Natalie said to me. I just wanted to protect her.

I walked down I to the children's ward. I needed to cheer someone up today, including myself.

When I go there, I went over to the admission desk.

"Hi, what can I help you with?" The blonde nurse asked me.

"I was just wondering, if there were any kids that needed a smile today. I'm Cameron Dallas." I said to the nurse, who's name tag said Kim.

"I know who you are. Yes there is one speacial girl that I think would love it if you talked to her." She said standing up and motioning me to follow her. I followed her down a hall filled with kids walking with walkers, kids with cancer.

The nurse walked to the outside of a room and stopped.

"Stay out here until I give you your signal." She said.

"What's my signal?" I asked laughing.

"Trust me, you'll know." She said walking into the room. I stood outside. I listen carefully to the conversation.

"Hey Ivy, how are you today?" I heard Kim ask. I heard a muffled answer.

"I brought someone I think you'll be really happy to see." She said. No one said anything after that so I figured that was my turn to come in.

I saw a girl, probably around 13. She had dark skin and brown eyes. No hair. She face lit up when she saw me.

"Cameron Dallas?" She asked shakily. I nodded. I walked over to her and hugged her.

"Hey Ivy." I said sitting on the cashier next to her bed. She started crying.

"I think I can take it from her." I said looking to Kim. She nodded and left.

"What are you doing here?" She asked me. I looked at her and smiled.

"I was told that a beautiful girl was here. I found her." I said taking her hand.

"I've dreamt of meeting your for two years and when I heard you were coming to San Fransisco, I got really excited. That's when I was diagnosed with a rare kind of leukemia, January 30, 2013. I really wanted to go, but I couldn't, I had to get chemo today. I was so upset, knowing you were right down the road and I couldn't come." She said starting to cry.

"I'm here know." I said. "Do you have a phone?" I asked her she nodded and handed it to me. Her case was a picture if me shirtless.

I went into the camera and I took a selfie and then I took a selfie with her.

I went on my phone and followed her Twitter. I gave her my number and put my name in her phone as Cameron loves you 😘😘.

"I have to go now but I'll text you soon." I said kissing her check. She kissed me back and then I left.

I texted her as I walked down the hall back to Hailey's room. She immediately answered. I just changed someone's life today, by being me.
