Just Say You Love Me (Camila/You)

Chapter 2

Camila's POV:
Y/n and I were on our way to my favourite pizza place and had been walking for around 5 minutes.

That's when we approached the second crosswalk and I was being very impatient as I was excited so I decided to run across because there were no cars. I got about three quarters of the way there when I heard a car come speeding towards me, I turned to face it and closed my eyes, waiting for it to hit me. But it never did.

Instead I opened my eyes to find myself on the sidewalk, the sidewalk you end up on when you cross the street. I looked around and that's when I noticed Y/n was lying on the crosswalk. He had pushed me out off the way and let himself get hit by the car.

Y/n was a strong guy so the car had some damage done to it as well. It had a huge dent on the front of it, where it had hit Y/n but Y/n, I could barely look at him. He looked so fragile. So broken.

He had blood, bruises and scratches all over him and he seemed to have hit his head pretty hard, his left arm was bent in a way it shouldn't be bent and his eyes were closed. I started crying because my best friend is in that state. He risked his life for me.

This was all my fault, if I hadn't ran ahead then Y/n wouldn't be in the condition he is now. But that's when I realised it wasn't my fault, it was Jacob's.

He was the one who stood me up. If he had showed up at 7 like he said he would then I wouldn't have been going to the pizza place with Y/n. He would have been in our apartment while I was out with Jacob. He wouldn't have got hit by a car. It was my boyfriend's fault.

As I was lost in my thoughts I heard police sirens and ambulances. I looked up and I noticed Y/n was being stretchered off in an ambulance so I ran over to the worker.

"I'm sorry ma'am but who are you?" The worker asks me "I'm Camila, Y/n's best friend." I say signalling towards Y/n. "Ok come with me then." The worker tells me and I nod and follow him into the ambulance.

Once I got in I stared at Y/n and started to cry again. I couldn't help it though, he was so broken, he didn't look like himself.

He didn't have his dazzling smile that showed off his dimples. I couldn't see his piercing y/e/c eyes as he had his eyelids shut. He was a mess and all I wanted in that moment was to go back in time and stop myself from running across that crosswalk.

The only bright side of being this close to him was I could see his chest moving up and down. He was still breathing but barely.

----------------------------------------------

We pulled into the hospital and I followed the worker to Y/n's room. It was in the ICU.

"Ma'am." The worker says to me and I look up at him. "Yes?" I ask "Do you have a contact for someone who can sign Y/n's papers?" He asks "I'm over 18 can't I sign them?" I ask "No you can't. You have to be over 21 or a guardian of his. I'm sorry." He informs me and I nod. "It's ok, I do have someone's number who can help him." I tell the worker and he nods and goes back to getting Y/n ready for what I presume is surgery.

The problem was that Y/n didn't have any parents, his family had fallen apart. Let me tell you the story:

I was 11 and my mom had told me to greet the new neighbours and offer them to come to dinner with us. So that's what I did. The house was facing mine so I skipped across the road and knocked on the door. A middle-aged man answered.

"Oh hi sweetie what I can help you with?" He asks in a kind tone. "My family live across the street and my mom was wondering if you wanted to come to dinner?" I say politely and he smiles "That sounds perfect. What time should we be there for?" He asks me "Oh um 6:30." I tell him just like my mom had instructed me to do.

"Ok thanks again...." He trails off "Camila." I inform him and he smiles "And what's your last name Camila?" "Cabello sir." I say and he smiles "Well it was nice meeting you. I'm Daniel Y/l/n by the way." He tells me and I smile before walking back to my house.

At that dinner I met Y/n and we have been joined at the hip ever since. But you must be confused if I said Y/n didn't have any parents and I just told you his fathers name.

Well the Y/l/n's were an amazing family. It was Y/n's mom and dad Daniel and Emma and Y/n's older brother Alex, his younger sister Megan and younger brother Ryan.

Y/n was the second oldest. Ryan is Sofi's age so he's 9 now. Megan is 16 and Alex is, well should be 22.

That was how the family fell apart, Alex got into a car accident and was killed instantly. Y/n's father was devastated. He turned to drinking and drugs and would abuse his family.

I can't even remember how many times Y/n came over to my house crying after his fathers daily beatings.

Emma had it the worst followed by Y/n, thankfully Daniel never hurt Ryan as Y/n and Megan would always get hurt more to protect him.

Eventually Daniel was arrested because he was caught selling and purchasing drugs. He is now on death row. Y/n was 16 when Daniel was arrested. Daniel had been selling and purchasing for 3 years before he got caught.

When Y/n was 17 almost 18 his mom died from throat cancer. Megan and Ryan live with Y/n's grandmother and grandfather now.

Since Y/n was old enough he just moved in with me and my family took care of him. My mom and dad love him, Sofi adores him so I'm pretty sure they will be devastated by the news.

A/N: So there is chapter 2. Tell me what you think about it. Like always give me ideas for this story and other stories and I will try to use them. Also leave feedback because I've only started writing recently so tips and constructive criticism would be helpful.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. -Mason
