Cat eyes (Camilo Madrigal x reader)

Chapter 27

(lol sorry for the deadly cliffhanger, I couldn't really get myself to finish it😍)

"Camilo!" I called out, immediately lifting myself from the bench.

I have made a huge mistake. I felt so bad, but for what? It's not like we're dating or anything...
God, why do I feel so awful. I wish I could just rewind time and undo the kiss.

I could feel my stomach clench. All these thoughts streamed to my head as I speeded at the front door.
The crowd almost felt bigger this time as I squeezed my way through strangers.
"Camilo! Wait!" I yelled again, but he did not stop.

My legs were wobbly as they carried me through the house.
The open space almost seemed infinite as there was a never ending need to push people aside in order to get to my target.
I barely saw a glimpse of him as he rushed up to his room and smacked the door shut.
I stopped running and gently pushed my way through while repeating the words "excuse me" many times until I heard a voice behind me.

"Y/n!" Marcos boomed from the front door.
"Where are you?" He yelled and pushed through.
I did not need him to stop me in my tracks like this. I had to get to Camilo and nothing could stop me at this point.

I quickly rushed upstairs as soon as I saw the crowd ending in front of me.
I ran up to his door and grabbed the door handle, but unfortunately it was locked.
I desperately knocked at the door.
"Camilo? Camilo you have to let me in." I shouted at the door.
No sound was coming from inside.
I had to check on him, so I used my powers.
I looked through the door and scanned the room until I spotted the boy, laying on his bed with a flower in his hand.

Was he... crying?

"Camilo I know you're in there." I informed, a little softer.
I awaited his answer, but not a sound came from him.
I tried to calm my heartbeat from running and took a deeper breath before speaking.
"Listen... I'm sorry, okay? Can you please come out?" I shifted my weight from one foot to another nervously.
"Go away." He called from the other side of the door.
There was a moment of silence before I talked again. I was close to tears.
"Camilo, please. I can explain." I tried and knocked a couple of times again.

"Go away!" He called a little louder.
I sighed at the door.
"I know what it looks like, but I promise there is NOTHING going on between me and Marcos... I don't like him like that!" I reassured.

Silence.

I waited for him to say anything, or just get up and let me in, but there was painfully silent inside of his room, it was unbearable.
I prepared to knock again, but stopped myself before I made things worse.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I quickly turned around to see Pepa standing behind me with a worried face.
"Come on, sweetie, let's give him some space." She requested and nodded to her side as a sign of "let's go."

-

"You know, he really likes you." Pepa spoke as she poured the boiling water into my cup.
I quickly let my eyes fly to her as my teabag colored the water in my cup.
"You really think so?" I tried not to sound too excited.
She chuckled a bit.
"Oh I don't think so, I know it." She declared and blew on her own tea.

I smiled at my feet.
"You're all he ever talks about. Y/n this, y/n that. He never asks his dear old mama how she is anymore." She blabbered quickly.
I shortly giggled.
She smiled at me.
"I'm no expert in love, but I know my baby and if there's anything he needs right now, it's probably the truth." She stated.
I nodded at the table.
"I like him a lot too, but I messed up big time. I don't think he'll ever forgive me for this" I told, looking down at my hands.

I could feel her stare. "Judging by the way he talks about you, I don't think anything could keep him from you." She smiled warmly at me as fiddled nervously with my hands.
