Camilo x reader

26

a/n Im sorry in advance. I would recommend you listen to You Are The Reason by Calum Scott on repeat while reading this chapter.

Camilo's POV

I woke up early and packed up for our picnic. My mom was watching me panic as I got everything together. I made sure I had everything before I knocked on Y/ns door. When she opened the door I think my jaw fell to the floor. She was beautiful. She has a yellow flowy dress on. Her h/c hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, clipped with a yellow and orange flower. Honestly she could have her hair in a messy bun, wearing the biggest clothes ever and she would still be the only one i would notice. I smiled at her and grabbed the picnic basket. I intertwined my fingers with hers. I couldn't stop staring. She had to be the most beautiful creature on the planet. We started climbing up a ledge "I didn't know we were going on a hike" She said, out of breath. Sure the climb was difficult but it was worth it. She was worth it.

Y/n POV

It really was worth it when we reached the top. There was a small stream that led down to the village. The grass was greener than ever. Trees covered in different shades of green shaded the spot. Other couples were there but all I could focus on was Camilo. He looked so cute as he laid out the red and white picnic blanket. He plopped himself down, out of breath. He smiled up at me as he patted down next to him. I sat down beside him. "My dad told me you found a necklace you liked. Can I see it?" He asked. I shook my head. "Someone bought it before i could get to it" Camilo placed his hand on top of mine to comfort me. "What did it say?" He asked. I took a deep breath "What if I fall-" I began before he cut me off "Oh my darling, What if you fly?" He smiled at me as he pulled a small box out of the picnic basket. I opened it carefully and there inside was the delicate, silver necklace. My eyes filled with tears. My mom used to always say this to me, before she passed away. Now the love of my life was giving something to me that no one could. I embraced him. "Thank you" I whispered into his neck. He hugged me back. "I'm sorry y/n, for everything" he whispered back. "It's okay," I said. He pulled back and stared deep into my eyes. "No, It's not okay. I should have never said any of those things, I have no excuse. I'm sorry" He said sternly. I cupped his face gently and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. When he broke the kiss we didn't move our faces away. I pressed my forehead against his. Right then, it was just us. No other people in the world, just us. He pulled away and reached into the picnic basket pulling all sorts of things out. "How do you expect to eat all this?" I asked. "I'm a growing boy, i need my food" He stated. I laughed at his remark and started eating some of the food. He handed me a bottle of orange juice. "Did you know that this is my favorite juice?" I said out of the blue. He looked at me like I was crazy. "What?" I asked.

Camilo's POV

I wanted to get this girl all the orange juice in the world. When she laughed it felt like butterflies in my chest. I even found myself trying to coax a laugh from her just to hear it. When we finished most of the food I took her hand and started teaching her actual dancing steps. She continued to laugh as she messed up. "I can't do it!" She said between laughs. I smiled at her. "It's okay, it takes time," I said. She looked up at me and smiled. I took the moment to place a kiss on her forehead. "I love you" I whispered. I guess my heart acted before my brain. I waited for her to say something. She opened her mouth to say something but pain flashed over her face before any sound broke out. I wondered if I stepped on her toes. I'm pretty sure I broke 2 of Dolores' toes while she was showing me how to dance. Then I saw blood.

Y/n POV

My legs felt numb. My whole body ached. It felt like there wasn't enough air. My body fell forward into Camilo. I tried again to suck in any air at all. It still didn't work. My knees gave out as I fell down to the ground. Camilo lowered me down as gently as he could. Another shot rang out. My ears were ringing. The pain became so much that tears started running down my face. Was this it? Was this the end?

Camilo's POV

She fell into me. Then her legs gave out from under her and I tried to lower her down gently. I looked up to see y/ns dad standing not so far away. Smoke seeped out of the dark gun. People were screaming and running. Someone ran into him, tackling him down to the ground. As he went down I could hear the gun let out a loud bang. I could feel the bullet whizzing past my head. I had so many questions. How did he get a gun into encanto? This was the safest place to be, at least it used to. But that was the least of my worries. I looked down towards y/n. Crimson red seeped out of her side, turning her once yellow dress, red. Tears filled her eyes. I put my hand down towards the wound trying to stop the bleeding as much as I could. She cried out in pain. My brain was flooded with thoughts. I couldn't think straight. I pulled myself back to reality when I heard her say something. "Kiss it all better i'm not ready to go" she said, barely above a whisper. My heart broke hearing her say this. "It's all my fault," I said. I should've protected her, it should've been me. Her hand was shaking as she brought it up to cup my cheek. "It's not your fault love, You can't change the fates" She said while tears were running down her cheeks. Seeing her in this state made hot salty tears run down my cheeks. I held tightly onto her cold hands and placed gentle kisses all over her face. "Everything is going to be okay" I whispered down to her. I don't think she heard me. Her eyes were looking up at the sky, it was like she wasn't even here. I looked around and saw the family in the distance running towards us. I stood up and I was about to run over to them when y/ns hand caught one of my pant legs. "Please stay with me, until I fall asleep. Stay with me" Those words ripped my very soul out of my body. I knelt down beside her and continued to hold her hand. Her eyes started to close and I could tell she was using every ounce in her body to stay awake. I quietly whispered to her, "What if I fall?" It took her a second to process what i said but when she did she turned her head to me and smiled "Oh my darling, what you fly." Tears continued to fall from both of us, she opened her mouth to say something "I love you to" she whispered. At this point I let out a sob that was stuck in my chest. Just then her eyes closed. I started shaking her, telling her to wake up. A pair of hands pulled me back as my family crowded around her. I fought whoever it was. I kicked and yelled. The sky grew dark as my screams rang out through the village. She can't leave me. She's all I have. She's all that matters.
