Abused Self Harming Camilo

chapter 5

Mirabel's pov:

Strange. Camilo has been in his room for a while. He normally goes in there for just half an hour after caring for the Encanto, but it's been 2 hours. Maybe I should check on him. Yeah. I walked up to his room and knocked on his door. No response. I knocked again. Still no response. "Camilo?" I called out. Still nothing. I started getting worried so I tried to open his door, but it was locked. Maybe he's just taking a nap. It did look like he was shapeshifting a lot, and that would cause someone to be tired.  I guess I'll leave him alone.

*an hour later*

Camilo still hasn't come out of his room. I wonder what's going on.

Camilo's pov:

I woke up really dizzy. I was right near my bed, why wasn't I in it?I stood up carefully and saw my arms. They were covered in cuts. "Jesus Christ! Did I really cut that much? And so deep too." I thought to myself. I shapeshifted into a healthier version of me. I walked out of my room still dizzy from blood loss. I bumped into Mirabel. "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry Mirabel!" She turned around quickly and I flinched From the sudden movement. "Camilo!" She yelled I tensed up, preparing to be hit.

She then grabbed my shoulders but it didn't hurt. "Camilo are you okay?! You're normally in your room for about half an hour but today you were in there for three hours did something happen were you just tired are you hurt????" She seemed really worried, she didn't stop when speaking. "Mirabel, don't worry. It was a long day of shapeshifting for the villagers. I just had to take a nap." She sighed and loosened her grip on my shoulders.

"If you say so Camilo. But just know you are allowed to take breaks. You don't need to overwork yourself for the villagers. That's exactly what happened last time. And as Abuela said, you are more then just your gift." I started to nod and say something but Mirabel pulled me into a hug. I just gave in and let her hug me. I hugged her back.

I then went down to the kitchen to get a quick snack. I saw Abuela there. "Hi Abuela!" I called to her. She turned to me and said, "oh hello Camilo! Would you like to help me cook dinner? I know you love to cook." I shook my head, "no thanks Abuela. I'm going to go meet up with Amador." "alright. Have fun!" I walked out the door and went to Amadors house. I then realized I didn't get a snack.

I just shrugged it off. I then knocked on his door. Amador answered. "hey cami, what are you doing here?" I hugged him, "I wanted to see you! You are my boyfriend after all!" He just grunted and pushed me off. "Did ever occur to you that I might be busy?" He asked in a harsh tone. I backed away, "sorry babe." He sighed frustrated. "it's fine, I wasn't busy anyway." And that a perked up.

"so do you wanna walk around the Encanto?" He just nodded with a "sure" we walked for a little bit when I started a conversation. I wanted to talk to him about how I've been feeling recently. "hey Amador?" I asked him. "What." He said annoyed. "well I've been feeling kind of depressed lately and I was wondering if you had any ways to help deal with it?"

"pfft! Ha!" He just kinda laughed. I was startled and a little hurt. "W-what?" I asked him. "That 'dEPrEsSiOn' bullsh*t is all in your head. It's not real you know." "O-oh." I said. I was feeling even more down now. But I pushed it aside for Amador and continued talking. Although I basically just agreed with everything he said because I didn't want to get hit.
