Mi amor ~ Camilo Madrigal x oc~

4

That night we got ready in our best clothing. Mami in her best and longest dress. It was long and white with blue flowers all over. Abuela wore her pale blue dress adorned with a white shawl. Ana and Maria matched in pink dresses both of them wearing their hair held up with a white scarf.  I walked down the steps slowly sighing to my self. I hadn't changed much since this morning other then my top. Wearing now a ruffed red top that stopped just above the rim of my skirt. We didn't have much 'nicer' clothing. Not that we didn't have skirts or lovely tops but we didn't have much that was saved for special occasions. 

Have you ever seen someone and automatically felt ten times uglier. That's about how it felt when I saw Sofia. Her hair fell gently against her shoulders. She wore a flowing black dress large red roses embordered all across. She was in every way beautiful. Of course she had no idea which seemed to only make me envy her more. Waltzing down the steps I stopped for a second. My head started to pound.  Grabbing onto the rounded end of the railing I closed my eyes tightly. Ever since I was little I've always gotten horrid head aches. Ranging from a simple buzzing to a complete halting scream.

Hands pressed against my shoulders as my ears began to ring. I could hear Mami's rough voice. But none of the words seemed to reach my mind simply falling from my ears.  Everything rang as I squeezed my eyes tighter. My lips curled in as I prayed for the buzzing to stop. Mamá guided me down helping me sit on the bottom step. My hands tightened my finger nails digging into my skin. The scream turned into a roar. I went numb. I couldn't feel my finger tips. Trying to open my eyes everything was blurred. My mouth went dry the feeling of sandpaper on my tongue. 

As fast as it came the head ache left. The same way every time. It rages through my skull trying to pound its way out. Reaching out trying to break free. And in it own defeat to falls to a halt. I opened my eyes slowly. My vision slowly returned as did my hearing. Mamá muttered rubbing my arms, "Está bien mi amor, todo estará bien. (It's okay my love, everything will be okay)"  I nodded trying to stand up. I shoved my self forward gripping onto the rail my knees where weak. Steadying my self quickly I tried to regroup my self.  After a few moments the air fell from it's stale silence when I spoke up, "I'm fine...Can we just go?"  Mamá made her way past me towards the door, "If that's what you want mi hija." 

By the time we had all left the house and made our way to the Madrigal's all remnants of the headache where gone. Other then Abuela's worried look. I mean she had one since she found out the news that we where going to be going over to the Madrigal's. Now it seemed to only worsen. Her face read like every nightmare she had ever thought of was happening in that very moment. I tried to shake it off as we walked towards the front door. And if my day couldn't get any worse there stood Camilo a wide smile on his face. 

I couldn't quite place my opinion on Camilo. He's annoying yes. Oblivious to how many times I've told him to leave me the fuck alone nicely. Yet sometimes I find my self wanting to speak to him. Longing for the chance to see his viral smile. The same smile that made her want to wring his neck. God not to mention his dumb voice every time he opens his mouth he says something stupider then the last time. By the time we reached the front where Camilo was Abuela put a fresh, more then likely artificial, smile. 

"Hola Camilo, your family has a wonderful home." Sofia was the first to say anything. He nodded a wide smile on his face, "It's great to see you, all of you. Please make your selves at home. Welcome." We filled in as I prayed that he just happened to not notice me. That Sofia's happy demeaner pulled him into a hyper focus. She had that effect on people. Then his ugly dumb son of a bitch ass decided he had the right to speak up, "I'm glad you came Val." I just kept walking. Before I stopped just before being out of ear shot when I called out, "You too idoita." I wasn't happy to see him. Just wanted to be kind I guess.
