My Love | Camilo Madrigal

Confront

It was nighttime, after a long day I wanted some sleep. But I was bored myself. I wanted to go up to the rooftop because that's where the 'lovely couple' always went.

Surprisingly, just like I thought there they were. Hand in hand, gazing at the stars.

Deep inside I longed for that to be me. I knew someday it would. And it burnt me inside because that someday wasn't today.

"Camilo," She was playing with his hair and he was laying on his chest.

"Yes Maya,"

"Do you think we'll ever get married?"

I choked on my spit while trying not to hold in my laughter. This was the cringiest thing I had ever seen in my entire life. I kept watching.

"I don't know would we?"

She got up and scowled at him. I laughed quietly at his response. She got up to leave but he pulled her in for a hug. I looked away gagging. They both left hit he quickly tripped over a plant. His knee was starting to bleed.

"Oh, sh-"
I couldn't help it and I ran over to him.

"Can't you watch where your going! You could've hit your head." I say, angrily. He looks at me and smiles.

"Since when did you care so much Y/n," I ignore him and grab his arm and slowly touch at the wound. He smirks at me and then winces in pain.

I go to a kitchen, grab an arepa and head back. I hand it to him and he eats it, while looking at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

He says nothing and just continues to eat. He starts to get up and I do too. He looks at me once more before leaving to his room. I didn't say anything aswell and turned around to leave.

"Wait, Y/n,"

His arm grabs mine and he makes me sit down.

"Whatd I ever do to you? Why have you been ignoring me all week,"

"I could say the same for you,"

He looked at me with sympathy and looked back down. I was going to leave but in a matter of seconds he hugged me.

I was in his arms hugging him.

"I'm sorry Y/n,"

His voice was showing that he was crying and before I knew it tears were falling down my face too.

"I'm so so sorry for not acknowledging you,"

He let go of me and I saw the tears in his eyes. I held his face.

"You shouldn't cry over that, you have much more to live for,"
I shifted his face to Maya, she was dancing like usual in the Main Streets. He looked back faster than lighting and headed back to his room without saying anything.

So I did, too.

His hug made me feel loved but I knew his heart was for someone else.

I woke up the next morning, did my daily routine just as always and went with Mirabel and Dolores to town.

"I heard your little saga with Camilo," Dolores whispered to me. I sighed slowly in despair.

"It's hopeless. He loves Maya. I'll always be his 'friend..'.." I looked down. Mirabel put her hand on my shoulder.

We went shopping for dresses and much more. For once I didn't feel sad or down. We danced, ate good food and had fun. I didn't think about Camilo or anything.

We went back to the Casita and sat and talked. I tried not to look around like I used to.

After we all talked and ate I headed up to Mirabel's room so we could have a sleepover.

I was getting hungry so I walked into the kitchen.
