Y/n POV

"Hola" Camilo says and sits in front of me

"Hi"

"How are you?" that's a dumb question
"Oh I'm fine, you know besides being homeless" I joke and he smile falls
"Oh my god I'm so sorry I didn'-"
"Camilo I'm joking, that's how I cope, I'm doing pretty shitty" I say and he nods. He's adorable. He slides beside me and I put my head on his shoulder, I'm so tired. He grabs my hand and I wince
"Sorry" He whispers

"It's just from running and shifting" I say and show him. I grab his arm and pull it onto my lap. "I'm so tired," I whisper, eyes closing. I wake up in my room and I stretch on the bed. I feel ten times better. I look at my arm, still bleeding. Maybe I should find Julieta. I walk into the kitchen and she smiles
"Hola, how are you?"
"Good" She hugs me

"Then what were you thinking running off like that?" She asks and holds my shoulders. I smile nervously

"I couldn't just let them die"
"It's a good thing you did." She hands me an areap for my arm and I bite it. My cut goes away, leaving a faint scar. My hands aren't bright pink anymore. I touch my cheek, no scab.

"Thank you" I say and finish it

"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Si, I feel ten times better than I have in the past three days" She smiles and hugs me again

"Good, go find Camilo, he's been worried sick" I blush and she giggles. I walk down the path and see Camilo and Miguel, Miguel runs at me and attacks me in a hug, he lifts me off the ground.

"Thank god you're okay" I smile and hug Camilo. He smiles at me

"New scars?" he jokes
"Of course" I say and look at it. I guess my cheek is scared too. He laughs and intertwines his fingers with mine. Silence falls over us, god this is awkward. Camilo pulls me into the town square and all the kids run up to me.

"Where did you go?"
"Are you okay?"
"Why did you go?"
"You're back!" Kids yells all sorts of things at me

"You're popular" Camilo whispers and I laugh

"Can we play?" a girl asks and I sigh

"I'm still really tired, tomorrow I promise" They all agree and run off. We sit down on the fountain, Camilo on one side, Miguel on the other. I love Miguel but he needs to leave.

"Are you okay?" Camilo asks, I smile and nod "you can tell me anything" he adds, my stomach flips.

"I know" I say and squeeze his hand
"You can tell me anything too" Migule says and I refrain from an eye roll

"I know" I bite my cheek. "Camilo can I talk to you?" He nods, looking confused and smug? We walk up to the Madrigal casa and he sits down in the shade on the grass

"What did you want to talk about?"

"We can go inside if you want" I offer

"Nah, it's okay I know you like being outside" He replies cooly. He remembered, I didn't even directly tell him that.
