Happy to see me

-+-Y/n's POV-+-

I woke up lying on the floor of Mirabel's room. She was on her bed and she threw one of her blankets over me during the night. It was still dark outside.

I stood up and looked at myself in my mirror. I had tear streams down the side of my face. Ever since my mom died, I've been crying during my sleep a lot. I wiped them away and walked out of the room.

I just needed some water. I made it to the bottom of the stairs and saw something in the kitchen. I walked a little closer and peeked around the corner. I saw Camilo standing at the sink with a glass of water.

I knew I couldn't talk to him, so I'd just go in and in. I walked to the sink quite quickly, and it caught his attention. I saw him reach his hand out for me from the corner of my eye but he didn't say anything. He just put his hand down and watched.

I finished my water and quickly walked back to the stairs. I sat on the bottom step and hugged my legs. Camilo came over to the stairs and sat on the second step. He sat pretty close to me, but I didn't feel like moving.

We only sat for what felt like a few seconds, but the sun was already starting to rise. I stood up and looked down at Camilo, trying desperately to not make eye contact.

"I'm, uh.. s- I'm gonna go." And I just walked away.

I could've said anything, I could've apologised to him! I could've worked it out, except I didn't. I was just hoping he'd stop me, or tell me that he wanted to apologise. But I just walked to the bathroom and locked the door behind me.

I stared into the mirror for a while, nitpicking every detail and imperfection. After some time heard a knock on the door. The person on the other side didn't say anything so I didn't know who it was.

I washed my face and opened the door, and I was immediately met with Mirabel questioning me. "Why were you in there for so long? What happened? I saw Camilo sitting on the stairs and he's still there. He said you were in the bathroom for a while and he was kinda worried..."

Mirabel kept talking but I couldn't hear her. I looked over her shoulder and saw Camilo looking at me with a nervous look on his face. Once he saw me looking at him, he smiled a little before standing up and walking up the stairs.

"Hellooooo? Earth to Y/n. Are you there? What are you thinking about in that little ol' noggin of yours?" She looked behind her before turning back with a smug look. "You were looking at Camilo, weren't you? Yeah, he said you got a drink earlier when he was there and neither of you said anything. He looked happy though."

At least he's happy to see me now..
