camilo angst one-shots

How the world works.

How the world works.

TW: Self-harm swearing, suicide idk.

Despite what people thought Camilo Madrigal was no ball of sunshine, he honestly had quite a negative view of life in general.

Camilo started self-harming at only 13 years old, cutting, burning himself, purposely hurting himself, he was under the understanding that everyone only gave a shit when it was convenient to them.

Abuela only really talked to him to tell him his chores for the day or reprimand him when he misbehaved.

His parents never really paid much attention to him, unless telling him off or the occasional good morning, Antonio was really their main focus.

Camilo's cousins would often straight-up ignore him saying that he never took things seriously enough and needed to grow up, at least that's how Camilo saw things.

Dolores was the only person Camilo had ever felt close to and even then they weren't really close, just more than the others.

Truth is that Camilo's fake joker personality made it so that Pepa and Felix never felt the need to check up on him, he always seemed so happy, whereas Antonio was an extremely socially anxious kid so they saw him as a priority, they never actively tried to be distant from there eldest son.

Abuela had tried her best to make up for her overbearing ways with Bruno, and Julietta's kids and never knew that Camilo was really affected by the way she used to act, how was she meant to know there was an issue that needed fixing if Camilo never expressed that there was an issue, he was always smiling after all.

Luisa, Isabella, and Mirabel were usually the butts of Camilo's jokes and were often annoyed by that fact and sometimes they would yell at him as saying things they didn't mean, but it never seemed to affect him so they never really addressed it after the fight ended.

Through every fight, insult or time he was ignored Camilo still plastered on a fake smile pretending to be okay, happy and dumb when he felt necessary.

It was only when Bruno re-connected with his family that people started to noticed the unsettling behaviour that Camilo displayed, he wore only long sleeves, he was always smiling especially when he shouldn't be, with a smile so fake that it was kind of scary, he looked positively deranged.

One day after Bruno had pointed out how horribly everyone was treating Camilo the family decided to be extra nice to the curly-haired boy, Saying good morning to him as he came downstairs he didn't even respond with anything but a fake smile, Julietta giving him extra food, which he didn't eat.

The second that breakfast ended Camillo ran off to his room, Dolores hearing strained to cry before hearing soft snoring, it was clear that her brother's spirit was completely broken, the family sat at the table thinking of ways to make things up to him but how could they fix six years with of neglect.

Camilo didn't sleep for long and before she knew it Dolores heard him sit at his desk as he started crying and writing.

"Don't let them in Casita" Csmilo ordered before the sounds of a blade slashing through flesh could be heard.

Dolores who was talking had frozen in shock at what she was hearing, tears rolling down her face, the sound was louder than it normally would be since she was actively listing to him, it was naturally quite enough to have been drowned out by everything that Dolores heard in any other situation.

She ran up to Camilo's door and started pounding on it screaming, she could no longer hear a heartbeat coming from behind the door.

Her ears bleed due to her own screams, Her family started trying to open the door Felix dragged away from his daughter.

Abuela demanded Castia open the door and it did, allowing everyone to see the horrible sight of Camilo laying on his bedroom floor his throat and wrists slit open, dead.

Pepa was balling her eyes out almost flooding the room until Bruno walked her out.

Julietta found what Camilo was writing before he killed himself.

Dear family, this word is corrupted, the value of someone's life is determined by what they can give others because at the end of the day people are selfish. If our family can only love each other when it's convenient to themselves it's a family I don't want to be a part of,

This may seem out of the blue to you since I'm the 'happy' guy, but really I've been wanting this for years

Goodbye, Camilo.
