Back to You

chapter seventeen

"When can I see her?" Camila asked as the nurse informed them of what was happening.

"We took her and the blood donor to the ICU."

"Thank you," Lauren turned to her fiancé, "she's okay."

Camila began to cry again but this time it was because she knew that her daughter was going to be okay.

Alissa began to stir, at first her vision was blurry but the bright light took care of making her fully awake.

"Cindy?" she whispered when she spotted her friend lying on the bed next to her, "everything's going to be okay."

"Alissa," the nurse came in, "you need to relax for a moment."

"Is she going to be okay?"

"I don't know," the nurse looked at the girl, "I will be back in ten minutes with a wheel chair so that we can take you back outside. We took quite a lot of blood from you."

"Okay..." Alissa nodded her head and shut her eyes.

Camila spotted the nurse walking towards the ICU with a wheel chair.

"Nurse," Camila called.

"Yes ma'am?"

"How is Alissa, the donor?" Camila looked at her.

"Oh, she's fine. I am on my way to pick her up now," the nurse smiled at Camila and walked into the ICU. A minute later she walked out with Alissa.

"Are you feeling okay?" Camila looked at the teenager.

"I'm fine," she smiled at Camila weakly, "is Cindy going to be okay now that I've given her blood?"

"I don't know, but they're watching her now."

"Okay."

"You should really go home you look exhausted."

"It's nothing compared to what Cindy's going through right now," a tear fell from her eye, "I'll see you tomorrow. That is if I can come?"

"Of course you can!" Camila kissed her on the forehead, wiping her eyes as she watched her walk down the hallway.

"Camz, do you want something to drink?" Lauren looked at her.

"I'm fine," she whispered leaning on the wall beside the door of the ICU. Lauren took a seat on the floor beside her.

"She'll be okay," she was actually trying to convince herself more than Camila.

"I know..." Camila looked at her weakly.

"Miss Cabello, Miss Jauregui?" The doctor looked at the couple, "your daughter has been transferred to a private room now and you will be able to see her but you might be surprised, she's got a lot of machines helping her."

"Are you telling me that she's going to have wires all over the place?" Camila looked at him.

Camila and Lauren walked to Cindy's room. Camila rushed over to her daughter's side and stroked her hair.

"Look at her," she cried, "she looks so peaceful."

"I know..." Lauren smiled, holding her daughters hand. Something inside told her that Cindy was going to be okay.

The next morning Lauren and Camila were asked to leave the room and have breakfast for a moment.

"I will just give your daughter something for the pain," the nurse smiled at them.

They nodded and walked down to the cafeteria where they met up with Alissa and Cindy's grandparents.

"Calling Doctor Jones. Room 567 is in need of consultation. Doctor Jones."
