That Month at Summer Camp

Chapter 12

        There are paramedics surrounding someone. Christian and I look at each other and start running to get a bit closer to see who it is. Once we're close enough, I see who it is, it's Emily, she's passed out on the ground, apparently still breathing. This is terrible, no, this can't happen.

        The paramedics lifted her into the ambulance on a gurney. I start crying, ever since I talked to Emily for the first time up here at camp, I've considered her my best friend, she's always there for me no matter what. I have so much to tell her from today, I have the pictures that Christian and I took today to show her, she can't leave me. Christian is just hugging me while I cry into his shoulder. 

        I can't believe this, please, I can't loose my best friend. Please God, please. I'm not very religious, I know, but please, I, I mean we, need your help. 

        I wipe the tears away from my eyes as the ambulance disappears with Emily in it towards the hospital. 

        "It's gonna be okay Andrea," whispers Christian. 

        I nod my head and believe him because Christian is usually right, which isn't fair to me half of the time, but whatever. 

        He takes my hand and we sit down on the ground and I put my head in his lap while he brushes my hair back, I always love when he does that. 

"Sing to me?" I ask him. 

       "Andrea, you know I fucking suck at,"

        I cut him off, "SING.... please." 

        "Okay okay," he says as he starts to sing lullaby songs to me. I smile at that because he's doing this for me even though he hates singing, I could probably fall asleep to this. 

        I guess I accidentally fall asleep because then I hear the bell ring for dinner, yeah I slept for a while. 

        I look around for Emily but then remember that she's in a plain colored room filled with annoying beeping noises and dull curtains. Christian can sense the sadness that takes over my body and he puts his hand on my shoulder to reassure me. 

After all of this mess, I decide to just go back to my cabin and rest, maybe read or just go on my phone, I need time alone, I need time to think about everything.

Then I get a text from Christian.

 Hi princess,

This won't take too long because I know you wanna rest, but I'm just letting you know that I sent the camera home to my mom (the ones I took the pictures of us on) and I'm gonna have her print them out and send it to you, but just tell me your address :) I love you and I'll see you later.

I send him a message back with my address and an I love you and then put my phone down and just lay there. Trying to not think about Emily and losing anybody else.

I must have fallen asleep for a while because I woke up to the dinner bell sounding. I quickly brush my hair and then throw on a pair of flip flops to run down to the cafeteria.

"Morning Sleeping Beauty," laughs Christian.

"Shut up," I laugh back.

"Wanna know something?" he asks me.

"Duh?"

"I love you more than anything and.. I think I would die without you."

"I love you too, baby"
