Cruel Summer

27. It Wasn't True

[Shawn's POV]

 I wake up the next morning with Camila in my arms and I can still see the dried up tears on her face. I move her hair away from her face and leave a soft kiss on her cheeks before getting up. She keeps sleeping peacefully as I walk to the bathroom, but when I come back she's sitting down on the bed looking at me.

 " Hey, are you feeling better?" I ask sitting in front of her.

 " I have no idea." She says quietly. " Can we just go take the blood test right now? I can't stand not knowing for sure."

 " Okay, we can do that." I say taking her hand in mine. " Let's just change and eat something before we go."

 I walk to my own room to take a shower, and as I walk out of the bathroom Camila is already waiting for me. She's sitting in my bed in a short white summer dress looking through her phone. I put some clothes on and she gets up giving me a kiss before we walk downstairs. There's no one in the kitchen, so I make us some mixed eggs before we leave. My mom's car is not here, so we ask Sinu to take hers saying we're going out for a date. 

 As I drive through the streets, I finally let myself freak out a little about the situation. I was trying to be fine because of Camila, but I'm just as scared as her. We're too young to have baby, she didn't even got the chance to start college. Of course I'm wishing the negative test was right, but that's very unlikely considering the other one was positive. If that's really the case, if she's really pregnant, then I meant what I said yesterday. I'll be there for her, no matter what she decides to do.

 I stop the car in the hospital's parking lot and look at Camila in the passenger seat. She looks terrified, like she's about to cry all over again. I take her hand and place a kiss on it, making her look at me.

 " Mila, I know you're scared. I'm scared too, but I'm here with you whatever happens." I say holding her face with of my hands. " I love you."

 " I love you so much." She says as a tear rolls down her face.

 I kiss her and she rest her forehead against mine for a second before we get out of the car. I take her hand in mine as we walk inside to the front table and talk to a nurse. Not long after, they're taking Camila's blood and I'm sitting next to her in the room as we wait for the results. She rests her head on my shoulder and intertwine our fingers as I place a kiss on her head.

 " Shawn? Camila?" I hear my mom's voice as she comes inside the room.

 We both freeze not knowing what she's doing here and freaking out on whether she knows why we are here. Then I see Aaliyah coming after her inside the room we're in, looking confused at us.

 " What are you doing here?" I ask my mom.

 " I brought Aaliyah to take her arm cast off." She says as I look at my sister's arm to confirm what she said. " What are you two doing here?"

 Neither of us know what to say, but then Aaliyah sees that Camila just had her blood taken.

 " Are you sick?" My sister asks Camila, pointing to the bandaid on her arm.

 Before she can answer, the nurse who took her blood comes back smiling at us.

 " We just got the results." She says looking at both of us. " You're not pregnant, it was probably a false positive. That's very rare, but it can happen if you have blood or protein in your pee. Some drugs, like tranquilizers, anticonvulsants, hypnotics, and fertility drugs, can also cause false-positive results." She explains before saying Camila is cleared to go.

 I feel my mom starting at us as the nurse walks us outside and I know she's about to give us a lecture. She waits until we're in the parking and tells Aaliyah to get inside the car.

 " Tell me this is a joke." She says clearly pissed at us. " How many times have told you to use protection? You're both lucky it was a false alarm." She yells at me.

 I look at Camila and she's crying like a baby holding my arm, probably a mixture of finding out she's not pregnant and my mom yelling at us.

 " Mom, we just…" I try to talk.

 " Yeah, you just!" She cuts me off. " You just couldn't stop for a minute to put on a condom."

 She stops for a minute and takes a deep breath, then she looks at Camila sobbing next to me. Her arms go around Camila and she holds her in a tight hug.

 " Shhh, it's okay darling." She says trying to calm Camila down. " Let's just go back home."

 She pulls away from the hug and swipe some tears out of Camila's face before telling me to go straight home and walking to her car. I take Camila to the car, and when we get to the house she's not crying anymore. She hugs me tight before we go inside and starts laughing at some point.

 " I'm not pregnant." She says smiling at me.

 " I know." I say finally breathing.

 " I'm never smoking weed in my life again." She says as we both laugh.

 As we get inside we get another lecture, but now from both of our moms and even Zayn seems kinda mad with us, Sinu is screaming so loud with us that he heard what happened. Even though, we just had a lot to hear, we're still happy that it wasn't true. Camila decides she wants to start taking a birth control because she doesn't want to go through that ever again. I tell her she doesn't have to, but she insists on it, so the following week she goes to the doctor to get a prescription and coincidentally her period finally comes.
