"Vâng," Hoa hậu Lovato đã xác nhận, biết ơn đối với cái nhìn sâu sắc của đồng minh. "Cô ấy là. Camila của ổn định ở thời điểm này, Tuy nhiên, các bác sĩ vẫn có liên quan. Rõ ràng, cô trúng đầu của cô khi cô ngã..."Dạ dày của Lauren lật úp tại cuộc thi Hoa hậu Lovato từ và cô cảm thấy cô ấy quay đầu unpleasantly như cô tâm conjured lên tất cả các cách suy nghĩ khủng khiếp và hình ảnh để đáp ứng với kiến thức."Tôi muốn nhìn thấy cô ấy," Lauren nói, một cảm giác của dứt khoát trong giọng nói của cô như cô cắt các giáo viên."Tôi cũng vậy," Dinah thêm, nói cuối cùng.Hoa hậu Lovato nhìn họ tất cả cảm, một nụ cười buồn trên đôi môi của mình."Mẹ của cô nói rằng họ không cho phép khách truy cập nhiều trong lúc này," cô ấy thông báo cho họ đáng tiếc."Hoa hậu..." Lauren bắt đầu để phản đối, nhưng Hoa hậu Lovato lên bàn tay của mình để sự im lặng của cô."Tuy nhiên," các giáo viên vẫn tiếp tục. "Cô nói rằng cô sẽ nói chuyện với họ nếu bạn muốn đi xuống đó," cô tạm dừng cho một phút trước khi thêm, "nhưng chỉ chừng nào bạn nhận được sự cho phép từ bố mẹ." Cô đã hoàn thành. "Đó là thỏa thuận."Lauren reached in to her pocket to pull out her phone and called her mom immediately, desperate to get down to the hospital so that she could see Camila with her own eyes and validate the fact that she was, as Miss Lovato had told them, stable. Dinah’s mom, Malika, had already contacted the school after Sinu had called her and explained what had happened to Camila. Malika had given the school permission to release Dinah from classes for the afternoon into Sinu’s care and Miss Lovato had already prepared a pass ready for her to use, which she added Lauren’s name to, after having a brief conversation with her mom, Clara, on the phone. As much as Ally and Normani also wanted to see Camila, they both decided that it would be better if they finished out the rest of the day at school and came to the hospital later, when more was known about her condition and they wouldn’t be in the way. They made Dinah and Lauren promise to text or call them with any news before the group disbanded, Ally and Normani hugging each of the other girls’ supportively before heading back to the cafeteria to finish lunch. Miss Lovato gave Dinah and Lauren the pass that they’d require to get out of school and placed a reassuring hand on each of their shoulders for an instant before they too left.The pair of them made the journey to the hospital in silence, each girl lost in their own thoughts about Camila, their own fears for her safety. On arrival at the foreboding structure of the hospital building, Dinah led Lauren up to the intensive care unit, having memorised the route from the numerous journeys that she’d made there over the summer when she’d visited Camila. They found Sinu and Alejandro, Camila’s parents, waiting restlessly outside what Lauren assumed to be her girlfriend’s room once there and Sinu stood as she noticed the girls approach, pulling first Dinah and then Lauren into a warm embrace, her eyes red and puffy from her obvious crying, her cheeks damp and tear stained in her distress. Lauren’s stomach dropped at the sight of Camila’s mom looking so broken and dejected, her own gut twisting wretchedly at the thought of what might await her on the other side of the door.As if the sight of Camila’s mom wasn’t enough to make the feeling of dread churn within Lauren and her eyes water with the sinking sense of despair that she felt; Lauren also had to contend with the view of Camila’s dad, evidently struggling to contain his own emotions whilst he tried to remain strong for her mom, his eyes also moist with tears as he stood alone, off to the side.“How is she?” Dinah asked; Sinu’s arm still wrapped supportively around the youngster’s shoulders. “Is she alright?”“She’s intubated and sedated at the moment,” Sinu told them both, rubbing Dinah’s arm comfortingly, desperately needing to feel like a mom to someone when she felt helpless to aid her own daughter.“Miss Lovato said Camila had a seizure,” Lauren said still unsure how that could have led to this. “Is that right? I mean, she didn’t need to be intubated before.”“I know,” Sinu acknowledged sadly, holding out her free arm for Lauren who stepped over to her willingly and accepted the solace she was offering. “Unfortunately the paramedics couldn’t stop the seizure, even with the medication they’d given her at school so her seizure lasted twenty minutes before it finally subsided.” Sinu informed them; tears falling as she reiterated the words she’d heard from the doctors earlier. “They said she was suffering from something called, status epilepticus.” Sinu continued after a brief pause to regain her composure. “They were concerned about her maintaining her airway and keeping her brain oxygenated because she was convulsing so much…so that’s why they needed to intubate her, to try and prevent any brain damage whilst they tried to stop the seizure activity.”“Brain damage?” Lauren asked hesitantly. “You mean she might have some more problems…”“We won’t know until she wakes up,” Sinu
