LUCAS’S POV

“Camilla! No!!” I shouted anxiously as I ran over to her, she was losing it again and then it all happened in a blink of the eye, she stabbed herself.
I froze in my spot with wide eyes, shock and freight engulfed me as I stared at the blood that started oozing out of her stomach.
How did things happen so quickly?
My head snapped when I realized she was falling and I sped to her and caught her in my arms.
“Camilla! What the fuck did you?” I shouted in dismay as I held her close to me, her eyes were half closing.
“Why?” I questioned in agony as a tear dropped from my face on her cloth while my hand held the area of the side of the stomach where the knife was stuck.
“Camilla!” I shook her as I watched her face scrunch up in pain.
“Lu-Lucas,” she muttered as she opened her eyes and looked at me with a smile, hurtful smile as she raised her hand and placed her palm on my cheek as I felt how shaky and trembling they were.
“No! No!! No!!! I told you to fucking stay in class for me,” I whimpered as I held her tight.
“I-I… I,” She stuttered as she tried hard to open her eyes that were closing.
I was sweating profusely as my heart hammer wildly against my chest.
I carried her up in the bridal style as I looked around for help and my eyes fell on Jenny who was staring in shock when her gaze caught up with me she became pale.
Staring at her made me know she was the one behind all this, I’ve warned her to fucking stay away from Camilla but she didn’t, my blood boiled in anger but first what is on my mind right now is to save Camilla.
“Don’t close those eyes, Camilla,” I said with clenched jaws looking down at her as I got out of the canteen.
“Camilla!!!” I heard someone screamed and I looked in the direction to see Beatrice running towards me as tears fell from her eyes with Ben following behind her.
“OMG! Who did this to her?” Beatrice asked clamping her hands over her mouth but I had no time to reply her.
“Shit!” Ben muttered as he got closer to us, his eyes fixed on Camilla.
“We need to rush her to the hospital!” He said while I freed one of my arms wrapped around Camilla’s leg and dipped my hands into my pocket to get my car remote to him.
I brought it out and threw it at him as he caught it immediately and ran to the school’s park, there’s no way I would drive sanely to the hospital in this state of mine.
I felt her shift in my hands as I held her tightly.
“Hold on! You’ll be fine,” I assured her as tears trickled out of her eyes as she shut them.
“Shit! Open your eyes, Camilla,” I said fastening my pace as I saw Ben pull up from the park and started heading towards us.
“Camilla!” Beatrice muttered as she stared at her dying friend.
Ben got to us and Beatrice quickly opened the back seat door as I leaned in with Camilla and laid her carefully on the seat as I got in with her and close the door.
I pressed my palm on her stomach to suppress the blood percolating, I decided not to remove the knife in her stomach not to make the situation worst than it seem, and won’t feel pain than she’s already experiencing.
I heard the front door close as Beatrice turned her back and stared at Camilla, I could see how scared and frightening she was and how eager she was to get her answers.
“Ben, drive as fast as you can,” I said in despair holding Camila’s hands which were getting cold tightly.
Ben nodded and pressed the button as he sped out of school.
“Hmm!” I heard Camilla groan with her face grimaced.
“You can do this Camilla, hold on,” I said squeezing her hands.
“Please, Camila!” Beatrice begged as she wiped her hands on her tears.
“Ben drive faster!” I roared but he didn’t reply to me as he focused on the road, I know he was fast but not fast as how I wanted it to be like we should be in the hospitality already.
Camilla coughed lightly trying to keep her eyes open as she slowly placed her hands on top of my hand which was placed on her stomach making my eyes dart to her silver lining blue eyes, I could see how lost and terrified she was.
“I-I’m so-sorry,” She stuttered as my eyes filled with tears, while I lift her other hand and kissed it lightly.
“You have nothing to be sorry about,” I said looking into her eyes while she closed her eyes as blood started exuding from her mouth.
“Camilla!” I panicked shaking her lightly but she wasn’t responding.
“Camilla!!!” I called again with no reply at all.
“OMG!” Beatrice gasped as she looked back.
“Fuck! Haven’t you get to the hospital?” I barked sounding so impatient than ever before as the car finally came to a halt suddenly.
Beatrice opened the door and ran into the building I realized was a hospital, I opened the door and saw the nurses coming out with a wheel bed as Beatrice came up behind them.
Camilla was placed on the bed gently as they placed an oxygenated mask on her face and was rushed into the hospital with Beatrice following behind them.
“Fuck!” I hissed kicking my car with my leg and whammed my right hand that was not stained with blood on the car making a loud bang.
“Calm down man! She would be fine,” Ben said moving closer to me.
“Don’t fucking tell me to calm down!” I roared charging towards him furiously as I held the collar of his shirt with both hands not minding it would be stained with blood while I drew him closer to me aggressively.
“Don’t you dare tell me to calm down!” I seethed in his face before I released and pushed him away as he staggered a bit but he didn’t say a word as he just stared at me worriedly.
“I told her to fucking stay in class,” I cried in agonizing sorrow, my heart squeezing tightly making me gulp in air fastly as I kept hitting and hitting the top of my Ferrari car with my hand while I whacked my forehead on the edges.
“You need to stop doing this to yourself, this won’t solve the solution and you’ll only get hurt the more,” Ben said again as I faced him in anger.
“It’s my fault she’s in there now!” I bawled pointing towards the hospital as I took a step closer to him.
“I should have fucking been with her, I should have been fast enough to save her before she stabbed herself!” I said feeling so hurt and blaming myself as flashes of her stabbing herself appeared in my face and regretted while I left her to go see that crazy English Teacher that asked me to see her in her office about the project we did, I didn’t want to tell Camilla about it so she won’t feel sadder she wasn’t able to take part in the project because I know how she is when it comes to her studies, I hit the car again with my fist harder than before when I remembered all that.
Different thoughts ran into my head as I tried to keep myself calm but the rage and anger coursing through my body just made it hard for me to focus.
“Anyone who pushed Camilla to do this to herself is fucking dead!” I seethed determinedly glaring at Ben who sighed tiredly at my outburst.
‘All these while I’ve been saying this but now I’m swinging into action and no fucking person is going to stop me this time around,’ I thought murderously as I started walking towards the hospital while Ben followed behind.
