Pinkie promises

-+-Camilo's POV-+-

***a little rewind back in time***

I didn't want to wake up. I just wanted to go back to sleep and sleep for eternity, right beside Y/n. My thoughts were still a little cloudy because I'd only just opened my eyes, but one thing remained clear.

Y/n is my world.

Y/n is everything to me, they're like my missing piece. Everything I do is for them. I do it because I love them. Look, I know love is a complicated word, but I think I've figured out what it means to me. I think I've figured out how much love is worth.

I would give my life and soul for love, I don't care how challenging it will be to get there. I'd do anything to be with the person I love.

Speaking of love, my thoughts were cut short by Y/n letting out a blood curdling scream. They tried to stand but I held their shoulders down so they wouldn't hurt themself. They looked panicked and frantic. I started trying to wake them up in every way I could.

"Y/n. Wake up. Hey! This isn't really healthy, you know." They weren't waking up, and I was getting really worried. "Y/n you're scaring me. Just wake up and I can help you, I can try to help you!"

I pulled them into my arms and I heard them gasping for air. I was so relieved! I almost started crying, but I had to keep it together. Y/n comes first right now.

I heard their desperate sobs muffled against my shoulder. It must have been terrifying. I ran my hand through their hair to calm them down. Their breathing was still frantic and uncontrolled, and it seemed like they weren't getting any air in.

"Y/n, what happened? I can try to help you, okay? Just please tell me what's going on." I pressed my face against their head as I sat back down and brought them closer to me. "Just take deep breaths."

They spent a few minutes breathing in and out, bringing the oxygen back to their body. They held me tighter before taking in another deep breath.

"I just had a really weird nightmare thing. I wasn't asleep, I was just remembering something from my past really weird. It was around a bunch off people and they turned into black silhouettes and stood there. I found my mom in the crowd but she fell to the ground, then I fell to the ground and my shoulders felt heavy. You ran through the crowd and held me and I kind of woke up, I guess?"

"I know it'll take time to heal after what happened, but trust me, when you've moved on, you will feel way better and this will all go back to normal. Just give it time. I will be here all the way through it."

Y/n pulled away and looked me in the eyes. They looked down to their hand. I looked too and they were holding their pinkie up.

I took their pinkie in mine and they started, "Pinkie promise?"

"Pinkie promise."

//I LOVE PINKIE PROMISES. DON'T JUDGE ME//
