The Lost Chance

The Beginning or The End

  Fabian didn't know where Camila was going, he felt as if he lost her. She couldn't have gone far from his house, but she was in an unfamiliar neighborhood, he feared for her life more than anything else at that moment.

   When he finally found her, he found her not even far from his house. She was right outside of it, but she was hiding in the garden. Her tears were following all over her face and he knew that he was the one that caused her that pain.

   "Camila?" Fabian asked. "Can we talk?"

   Camila looked up to see Fabian standing in front of her. She stood up looking furious at him, she stepped out of the circle of bushes she was sitting in and stood barely an inch away from him. Fabian tried holding Camila's hands to explain, but the moment they held hands, Camila wasn't shocked by the fact he was able to touch her, she quickly shook him off. She didn't want to hear a single word he wanted to say because he had time to speak.

   "How could you?" She started. "How could you do this to me? You liar!"

   "Camila I know that you are in pain, but if you just give me a chance to explain." Fabian tried.

   "No! I gave you time. I waited for you to come in person but you didn't. I waited for you to tell me how you died but you didn't. You lied to me! You hurt me!" She snapped. "You led me on, made me feel like my soulmate was alive, like he was going to come, you made me fall for you, and you were just going to leave in the end. How could you do this Fabian?"

   Her pain and anger was too much for her to leave it in, so she started hitting him: "You cheater! You lair! You coward! How could you kill my soulmate? How could you kill my true love? How could you? How could you hurt me? My heart is dead, my mind is breaking, my soul is in pain. And it's all your fault!" She yelled.

   Fabian felt that he had it all coming. He knew that he deserved getting hit, and that he deserved feeling guilty. He knew that Camila had every right to be mad at him, he even knew that she had the right to even hate him at that point.

   "Have you ever considered how I would feel? Have you ever considered how much pain I would be in? How could you be that selfish Fabian? I trusted you, I let you in, I loved you, and you never cared. You gave up! You left me in this world and just left without even considering that you left me behind." Camila sobbed. "You knew what kept me going. You knew that the thought of my soulmate coming was the thing keeping me alive. And you never thought of telling me that you killed him? That you were him? You told me to hold on, to want a better future, when you were the one that ruined it. You ruined my life! You ruined your parents' life! How could you?"

   Camila looked to her side to find a knife that the gardener uses to cut the leaves from the bush. She held it right above her forearm. Fabian's eyes opened wide at the sight of Camila's action, he was scared to know what she wanted to do, when he came closer to her she moved the knife closer to her forearm.

   "Do you know what happens when you run a sharp knife into your forearm all the way down to your thumb Fabian?" Camila asked, as Fabian shook his head looking frightened. "You would shatter the radial artery. Fun information to learn how important a radial artery is. If cut, a person has less than five minutes to get medical attention before dying. I saw that blood stain Fabian. Your blood was spilled by your own hands! Your blood lays on that floor in your bedroom. What if I spill my own blood right now?" Camila asked with tears flowing down her face.

   "Camila please don't do this. Think about your family. What happened to being positive? What happened to optimistic Camila?" Fabian pleaded.

   "She died! She died the minute she knew what you did, you idiot! That girl had hope in her future, faith that she would be happy. Even if she doesn't become a dancer she'll have a loving husband by her side, but you took that away." Camila yelled so loud that the thunder that struck wasn't even heard because of her voice.

   "Why should I stay alive if my future is ruined Fabian? Why?" Camila asked.

   "Camila, your future isn't tied to me. You can build it, you can get a job you like, become whatever you wanted to become. You don't need me to be happy." Fabian spoke reaching his hand to put on top of Camila's.

   "But I do. I need you, in whatever form you come, friend, bestfriend, boyfriend, anything, anything as long as I have my soulmate by my side. Knowing that I have one, I want him, I want him. Bring him back Fabian." Camila cried.

   Fabian successfully got hold of Camila's hand and successfully removed the knife from her hand. He gave her a hug saying: "You are more capable of living your life Camila without me. I know I messed up, I know I hurt you and everyone I love, and I am sorry. I am beyond sorry. But please don't hurt yourself Camila, I don't want you to end up like me. Think about your parents, your family. Look how much mine is grieving, don't do that to yours."

   "This isn't fair." Camila sobbed as she hugged Fabian back. "I wanted that happy ending."

   "And you can still get it Camila. Your happiness is in your own hands. It isn't tied to someone else. I have known you for less than a minute and I have seen how powerful and strong you are Camila. I came back for you, I wanted to be by your side, but the devil is threatening your life and Lena's. I can't stay, I failed." Fabian admitted.

   Camila let go of Fabian and looked him in the eye saying: "We can find a way Fabian. You deserve to live."

   Fabian smiled: "I know that I should've held on long enough, but I was too weak to see the light in the darkness. I wish that I did, but I didn't. I made a mistake Camila, and now I have to pay for it. But I want you to be happy, I want you to survive and live. I wanted to be there for you every step of the way but I couldn't. I wanted to fix everything but I couldn't. The only thing now is to accept my mistake and face the consequences."

   Camila looked at Fabian the same way a wife looks at her husband before going to war, she shook her head and pleaded: "Please don't leave me Fabian."

   Fabian looked at Camila saying: "I won't leave you, I will always be in your heart, even if you never forgive me."

   Those where his final words before he vanished into thin air just like Felice did. Lena came running outside with her aunt and uncle. When she saw Camila crying in the rain she ran over to her and hugged her as Camila fell to the ground sobbing.

   "He's gone." Camila spoke.

   "We'll see him again." Lena replied, crying along with her friend as Natalia and Lloyd both cried looking at the two girls. "We never say goodbye. He had a good heart, he'll make it to heaven."
