New Girl (Camilo x Reader)

Can't get away

I watch the blurry person slowly come into more focus as they move closer to me, thankfully it is only Félix.

"Hey y/n! I'm glad that you and Camilo both made it back safe yesterday" He says

"Yes me too, I'm thankful that Dolores was able to hear us."

That reminds me, I'll go talk to Dolores, maybe she heard Abuela talking with someone about why I can't speak to Camilo anymore. 

"Well I won't bother you anymore" Félix says, "by the way I love that book"

I laugh to myself and decide to head inside to look for Dolores. I see her standing at the bottom of the stairs talking to Camilo. She looks towards me then quickly back at him. I slowly walk towards her, I don't know wether I should wait for her to be alone or not, because if Abuela sees me near Camilo, well. I don't want to think what would happen. 

Dolores sees me moving closer and turns to walk up the stairs. I shout after her.

"Dolores wait!"

Dolores runs up the stairs and I quickly follow her, why doesn't she want to talk to me? I run past Camilo who watches me with a confused look on his face. Trust me I would be confused too if I saw someone chasing after my sister. 

Dolores runs into her room and closes her door. I reach her room, panting out of breath. 

I knock on her door, "Dolores please, I need to talk to you"

No response, I sigh and walk away, I'll try and talk to her again later. As I'm walking away from her door Camilo comes up towards me.

"Is everything ok? Why do you need Dolores so badly?" He asks

"uh no reason" I say, trying to think of an excuse, "girl problems"

I push past him, trying not to make eye contact, and he obviously doesn't ask anymore questions.

I go back to the room Mirabel and I share, I pace back and forth thinking of all my life choices. Camilo makes me feel something I've never felt before, I wish I could know if he feels the same way. Even if we could just be friends.

I spend the rest of the day, alone in the room, half reading, half sleeping. I only leave once Mirabel comes in to tell me supper is ready.

Once I get downstairs I grab some food, but as I go to take my seat I see that Mirabel is already sitting next to Antonio. I look at Abuela who is already in her seat and she gives me a plain look, not giving me any help whatsoever. 

I take a deep breath and sit in my original seat, not even glancing Abuela's way. I look over at Dolores, her eyes are locked onto her food. There isn't a point in trying to get her attention here.

Camilo arrives late as always, and takes his seat next to mine. As he pushes his chair in, I can tell he moved it closer towards me. I slowly move to the edge of the seat closest to Mirabel.

"Y/n move over!" She laughs, "you're almost on top of me" she then pushes me towards Camilo, causing me to bump into him, spilling the water he had in his hand all over my lap. 

"y/n I am so sorry" Camilo says, he grabs a towel and starts attempting to dry it. 

"It's fine" I grab the towel from his hand and finish drying up most of the water.

I then excuse myself from the table, not looking at Abuela, Dolores, or Camilo, and head upstairs without finishing my meal. I lay in bed face down on my pillow. Trying to find the moment my life went wrong. 

After a little while I hear the door open, then someone sitting on my bed. 

"y/n, are you ok? If it's what I said at dinner I'm sorry, I can wash your skirt for you" Mirabel says

"No it's fine, sorry I'm just really tired"

"Are you sure?" She puts a hand on my shoulder, "you can tell me anything, did something happen with Camilo?"

I wish something happened with Camilo. I just want to tell her everything. How I feel about him, what Abuela said, everything. But I know that she would try and talk to Abuela, and that would be terrible.

"everything is ok, thanks for asking though"

She gives me a pat on my shoulder and stands up from my bed. I eventually drift to sleep. 

The next day I wake up and decide to skip breakfast. My main goal for today? Find Dolores.

I go downstairs to try and catch her before she goes in her room. Everyone is leaving the kitchen in a big group and Camilo makes a joke I couldn't hear while shapeshifting into Isabela. The whole family starts to laugh. I smile to myself, I love seeing him make others happy, it's one of my favourite things about him. I just wish I could be a part of that.

I quickly spot Dolores and stand by her side before she can run away. 

She whispers to me so that no one else can hear, "Go away y/n"

"I need to talk to you"

She has no reaction and I follow Dolores to her room. We walk inside and instantly everything is quiet. Sound proof. It's a very simple room, no bright colours and lots of books. The door closes behind us.

"Tell me what you know"

"What do you mean?"

"You know" I stare at her

"I don't know what you're talking about"

I can see that she is starting to sweat. 

"Please Dolores" I move closer to her, "I need to know why I can't talk to Camilo anymore"

Dolores sighs, "y/n, I don't know why Abuela is saying those things to you"

I look at her confused. 

"Once I heard her mention that you need to stop talking to him, I tried to listen for an explanation, but I never heard one" She looks away, "Listen, I wish I could be of more help, honestly"

"Thanks anyways" I give her a soft smile and step out of the room. 

I spend the rest of the day doing simple tasks around the house like sweeping and organizing, while also making sure I avoid both Camilo and Abuela. 

I make sure to grab food while no one is in the kitchen and I skip both breakfast and dinner. I also make sure I'm asleep before Mirabel enters the room, to avoid any sort of confrontation. I eventually drift to sleep.

However I'm awoken in the middle of the night to Mirabel gently shaking me awake, 

"Y/n wake up"
