Primrose ~ Camilo Madrigal x Reader

Part 23

I woke up in cold sweat, the clothes Isabela gave me going up and down as I breathed heavily. I didn't mean to, not wanting to talk to anyone about my dreams at all, but I woke Isabela up from all of the loud noises. She didn't seem bothered, only walking over to where I was sleeping to comfort me. "Nightmare?" she asked softly, and I only nodded in response.

"It might make you feel better if you talk about it" she said softly, creating a chair for her to sit on and then sitting down next to me. I didn't know what to say to her, I didn't even know what my dream meant. It could mean that the house was going to crumble again, but if so that meant the family was going to fall apart, and they seemed closer than ever now. "I had a nightmare about the house breaking. It was a lot more nightmarish than what actually happened" I lied. I didn't want to, but something about the dream didn't seem right. Why were my parents there? I couldn't tell them until I knew what was going on.

"The lights tell me it's probably around sunrise right now, and no one else is going to be awake for a few more hours. Do you want me to stay awake with you until you go to Camilo's room?" She asked sweetly. "I'd like that Isa" I responded, and we began to talk about everything and nothing for about two hours. Isa felt like a sister to me, caring for me and making sure I was alright. I was so glad and lucky to have her as a friend. When she proclaimed it was about half past five in the morning the two of us quietly left her room.

Isabela left me at the door to Camilo's room as she went down to the kitchen to get something as a snack before breakfast and before her shower. I quietly knocked on the door to his room, but after waiting a minute without a sound, I knocked slightly louder so that the two of them would hear me. The last thing I wanted this morning was to walk in on Camilo and a man who I barely knew half dressed. I heard scurrying from behind the door followed by the sounds of voices. After about two minutes Mariano came to the door, dressed and groomed to a degree, then he walked past me after saying good morning and headed to Dolores' room.

"Good morning Primrose" I heard Camilo groggily say from the door, and when I looked at him he looked amazing in the morning light. "Good morning to you too Camilo" I responded peppily. "You're way too awake for this time in the morning" he said, pulling me into his room and closing the door behind him. "Well I have been up for a few hours already so it's pretty normal for me to be awake" I told him, and he looked at me confused. "Why were you already up, you should've been sleeping until just now" he asked, pulling me into his chest and hugging me tightly. " I had a nightmare. Isabela woke up and stayed awake with me until now. And I didn't want to wake you or Mariano up earlier otherwise the two of you would've ganged up to kill me" I told him, and his response to my words was to pick me up and throw me onto his bed.

"Camilo, what on earth are you doing?" I whisper-yelled, not wanting to be too loud and risk hurting Dolores' ears. "You've been up for hours when you should've been sleeping, so now you're going to go back to sleep" he explained, laying down next to me and hugging me so that I would fall asleep in his arms. "But what if someone sees us, they'll think that I spent the night here and my parents won't let me sleep over again" I told him, with a quick response of "Let them see, we've got Isabela, Mariano, Dolores, Mirabel and Luisa to vouch for us and say that you slept in Isabela's room.

"But what if I have another nightmare?" I asked, slightly worried because I didn't want to have to relive whatever was going on in that nightmare. "I'll fight your nightmares for you any day, and you can just wrap your arms around me tighter if you get scared" he said, wrapping his arms tighter around me as if to show that this is what he meant. I was tired, I will admit, and I felt warm and happy in his arms that I didn't want to fight about it anymore. I finally allowed myself to relax, calming down in his arms and after a few minutes of listening to his heartbeat and quiet breathing, I fell into a deep sleep.

It didn't bother me in the slightest that it was a dreamless sleep, because the only thing that mattered was the boy next to me, holding onto me tightly, making me feel warm and happy and loved.
