"Nurse prepare the operating room."
"Doc, there is no blood type available for her."
"This is urgent."
"Yes doc."
I could hear voices around but my eyes remained closed. I could feel the pain that reigned in the middle of my chest and seemed to be consuming all the energy in my body.
Nial's Point of View
Earlier I was rolling around in my bed, still not feeling well. It had been two days since Cammeron had told me she was ill, that she was going to die. I haven't slept well for two days. I should be happy because I've already said how I feel but I don't think being happy is the emotion that I have to feel now.
After she said that, we didn't talk until I sent her home. If she just said that to stop me from loving her, well it's not funny, but if what she said is true ...
"Argh!"
I sat up in bed in great annoyance. I no longer know what I will think and feel.
I suddenly looked at the door when it suddenly opened. Mom appeared with a pillow.
"Mom?"
"Hi Nial, Why are you still awake? It's late at night."
She go straight to my bed and sat down next to me.
"I can't sleep," I replied.
"Thinking of her?" she said and smiled.
"Who?" I asked confused.
"That beautiful girl, Camerron?"
I suddenly fell silent when she mentioned her name.
"Do you like her, son?" she asked me again using her usual sweet voice.
"Mom.." I didn't know what to say to her
Yes I love her, I really really do. She has been in my dream since the beginning. She's the only woman who stops my world. She's the only one who can make my heart beats too much.
"You know what son, before your daddy left us and before he live with another woma na I told myself that I don't want you to do the same to the woman you love."
I know there is still mixed pain as she says that. Knowing her, I know how hurt she was when daddy left us. I also know in myself that I don't want to do the wrong things that daddy did. Because I know how much pain it feels to be left behind.
"Cammeron is a great person. I saw how she worried about you when you were sick and how much she wanted to take care of you. Even how she told me about her mom, I already knew that she's a good person and a loving child to her mother, " she continued.
"I love her, I really do, mom."
She just smiled at me and stroked my back.
"So do everything to make her happy."
I nodded. I love her and I will never dare to hurt her.
I focused my attention on the pillow she was carrying so I gave her a confused look.
"Mom, what's that for?"
"Ah this?" she also looked at the pillow she was holding. "I was going to sleep with you but it seems that you need to be more alone to be able to think."
"No it's ok, you can sleep here."
"No thanks son, I'll just go back to my room."
"You sure?"
"Of course son, go to sleep so you can rest your mind thinking about her."
She still laughed before finally walking out the door.
I really tried to sleep but nothing happened, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me that I did not know.
I took my cellphone on my study table. I stared at Camerron's number while wondering if I should txt her, call her or not. I am ashamed of her for my actions last time we were together.
In the end I still can't stop myself, I'll txt her just in case he's still awake now.
To: Camerron
Still awake? Can I call?
I typed on my cellphone, I was about to press the send button when suddenly an incoming call from an unregister number came in.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"N-nial? ... This is Claire.."
I heard Clare's voice but there seemed to be something wrong because she was sobbing and her words were almost cut short.
"Clare? What happened? Are you okay?"
"N-nial s-Cams ... Cams is here at the hospital ... Y-you have to come here now."
I almost drop my cellphone because of what he said. Why, why even in this situation she still stops my world.
"Nial? ..."
"Nial are you still there?"
I quickly turned off the call and went to the garage to get mom's car, I quickly left the village.
Clare told me where they were at the hospital. I almost flew the car at the speed I was running. My heart seemed to explode and at the same time I was angry with myself. Is what he said true? Damn! Why didn't I believe her when he said he was sick.
I did not enter my car in the parking lot of the hospital, I quickly entered the lobby and approached the first nurse I saw.
"Miss where is Ms. Camerron Garcia's room?"
She looked at the paper she was holding for a moment before looking at me again.
"I'm sorry sir but the patient you're looking for is still in OR."
"Where is the OR?"
"It's on the second floor."
I thanked her and ran to the elevator. As soon as I stepped on the second floor, I immediately saw Claire, a man and Cams' mom.
"What happened?"
I was nervous and breathless to question them. They looked at me at the same time but they didn't speak so I went to the opposite door to peek through the glass window.
I saw Cams lying in the hospital bed, with doctors and nurses around while trying to revive his body.
I don't know how much pain I felt when I saw what was going on inside. Mixture of fear, anger and pain. I lost everything in my mind and that was all I could feel.
No one is talking, Claire and Cams' mom just keep on crying. We just remained standing outside. I didn't look inside again, I didn't want to, I don't want to see her in that condition, I was hurting, my heart was breaking.
The doctor just came out. We approached him together.
"Doc, how is my daughter, how is he?" Her mom is still crying.
"She made it, it's a good thing she was taken to the hospital right away. But based on her records, her heart condition is very bad. We can't make sure it won't happen again and we can ' t also say that she can still fight next time. "
My brain repeatedly registered everything the doctor said. No, she can't leave me.
"She will be moved to her room then you can visit her. Excuse me." He left and there were four of us left again.
"Why didn't she let us know she was sick?" Claire suddenly ask at Cams ’mom. We all looked at her while waiting for what she would answer. She still cried and I know she's hurt so bad.
"Because ... she doesn't want you to feel sorry for hier condition."
"Is that the reason why she's often absent from class?"
"Yes"
I looked at her again in the mirror. She was alone in bed and someone put oxygen on her. Why, why of all people. Why now, when I can no longer afford to lose you.
Camerron has been moved to her room because her condition is stable. I couldn’t help but be hurt by her condition. You can see that her body has changed. I haven't seen her for two days but she has lost a lot of weight.
I took a chair and placed it near her bed. Her mom left first to get her clothes as well as Claire's because it was late at night so I was the only one who volunteered to watch over her. She still hasn't woken up until now.
I stared at her gentle face, even though she was thin, she was still very beautiful. I held her hand tightly. Cams, wake up please.
"Cams, you can hear me, can't you? Wake up please. I badly want to see your smile again," I whispered softly, daring her to hear me.
"I'm sorry ... I'm sorry if I don't believe you. I'm sorry if I don't want to believe that you're leaving me. Don't I wish that to you? So I want you to fulfill that."
"Fight please ... I have two more wishes, don't I?"
I kissed her hand at the same time as the tears that I had earlier trying to escape from my eyes.
"If only I could wish for you to live longer. I'll still love you e... If you don't wake up there how can I make you feel that?"
I buried my face in her hand. I can't control my feelings anymore, the pain I'm feeling is too much.
"I wish you wake up please, that's a wish from your master." I tightened the grip on her hand while closing my eyes.
"M-master ..."
I stopped crying when suddenly someone spoke. I wiped away my tears and looked at Camerron. I can see with my two eyes her eyes, she opened it while smiling at me.
I didn't think anymore, I just hugged her
MY WISH #9: I wish she wakes up.
