The One (Camilo x Oc)

5. Leaving

"Well, what?" Camilo demandingly said, crossing his arms.

Dolores sighed, "The only words Miguel has spoken were when someone else spoke to him.." I frowned at the little knowledge we had. "But I've been hearing him cry quietly a lot since this morning, I believe he received a letter of sorts." Dolores put her finger on her chin, thinking about it.

"Oh, I remember watching him walk into your room with an envelope this morning when I took a little stroll around casita!" Mirabel chimed in, startling me.

"Oh..." I sighed, feeling anxious, "I have to find that letter." I put my hand in a fist and waved it in front of my face a bit.

I noticed that Camilo was glaring at Dolores, dead in the eyes, wonder what's up? I thought they were close..

"Rosa, I think you should go look for that letter now." Camilo doesn't look at me as he says so, causing me to feel a bit sad.

Quickly leaving, I decided to wait until tomorrow, seeing how it is night time, and it would probably be easier to get stuff out of him.

I was wrong.

Miguel wasn't in his bed when I awoke, and I couldn't find him anywhere around the house. I quickly ran out of my bedroom after changing into a dress.

Running towards the stairs, I didn't notice any surroundings until I fell flat onto my butt. "Woah, calm down, amiga!" The voice of Camilo flew into my ears, actually starting to calm me down.

"I-I have to find Miguel and ask but..." I quickly and quietly said before Camilo put a hand on my shoulder to try and calm me down more.

"Aye, I can help you out if you want. We can probably get Mirabel and Dolores to help too- Dolores could've heard something by now!" He grinned at me, causing warmth to flow through my body.

I could feel my face start flushing a bit, but neither of us paid any mind to it. "Thank you, Camilo."

"Hehe this can be my payment for the ruana!" It suddenly flooded my mind that I completely disregarded the ruana that I was making for him. I kept it to myself, however.

I was focused so much on the shop the past few days that I completely forgot. I will have to make two for him in return for forgetting and for his help...

"Woah, why are you two on the ground?" Pepa scared me as she appeared from the stairs, a cloud already on her head, but it was starting to go away.

"Ah, Mama, I accidentally bumped into Rosa. But I'm gonna help her look for Miguel, adios!" He shouted to his mother before grabbing my wrist and pulling me out the doors of casita.

"So.. Where should we start?" I slowly questioned, looking at the houses as we walked down the village.

"I have no clue, but maybe we can look for Dolores for help first?" Camilo looked up at the sky before letting my wrist go, I had completely forgotten he'd been holding onto it.

"Oh.. Oh yeah." I sighed, just wanting to find my brother. "Where would she be right now?"

"Wait... I'm an idiot." Camilo face palmed, causing my eyebrow to raise in confusion. "It's almost breakfast time, we could just see if Miguel is there!" He laughed, trying to draw away from the fact that he embarrassed himself and forgot about his favorite thing ever.

I chuckled, that kinda made me feel better. I enjoy spending time with Camilo, because he always has a way to eventually cheer me up!

We quickly walked back to casita as I watched Luisa carry a table outside for everyone to eat at.
