Backstabbed - Camilo Madrigal X OC

Epilogue

(This is my attempt at an epilogue)

-Sierra's pov-

"Hey Tia, do you have any spare food? I got hungry so I thought I should grab something for me and Milo," I slumped over the kitchen counter, my hands supporting my head.

"Yeah, where's Camilo?" Tia asked, moving to a pack of still warm arepas.

"He's still at the riverbank, I didn't want to make it too much of a hassle that we both needed to come."

"Oh okay, you should get back to him quick though, you know how he's been."

Memories flooded my mind, I thought back to the countless times he'd had panic attacks because I left for a minute.

"OH MY GOD I FORGOT!" I shrieked, forgetting the food and bolting straight out of casita.

When I finally reached the riverbank, I saw Camilo in the distance. Where I'd left him. He was huddled in a position where his face was buried in his knees. His body was swaying back and forth, like a young child crying.

I heard his faint sobs as I neared closer.

I sat down next to him, pulling him in an embrace.

"Don't worry mi amor, I'm still here." I spoke with my face buried into his curls. My hand softly tracing circles along his upper back. I didn't have to say another word, my company was enough for him.

I watched over his head as the day moved on, eventually coming to a sunset.

"Would you ever marry me?" Camilo's soft whispers crept into my ears.

"Of course I would, you mean everything to me."

"Okay, that's good," he dragged himself off of me for the first time in a couple
hours, "because you turn eighteen next week."

Yay! This surprisingly long journey is over! Don't worry, I didn't forget about the side characters. You guys can use the power of imagination for that.

So, I did speed write this chapter which is why it's a tad shorter. And because I am way too excited to upload the first chapter of my next book 😊😊!
