Bestfriends to Lovers

Chapter 25 Abuella's birthday

Camilo's POV

I saw Olivia close her window and she left. What am i doing? I paced around in the grass by the trees. I came her to talk to her. But i just didn't knew what i wanted to say to her. Or why i even thought to come here so late. I paced around deep into my own thoughts. Until i heard branches break. I looked up and saw Olivia. She had a loose bun on her head with sweatpants and an oversized sweater. She looked very tired but she came anyway.

She looked at me with irritated eyes and with arms crossed. I tried to move my mouth to say something but I couldn't. I just kept staring at her, in the moonlight. "Well? Are you starting to talk, or are you just staring stupidly." She broke my thoughts and I looked straight at her. I took a second to close my eyes. To pick myself up to say it. I opened my eyes and looked deep into her eyes. "I miss you." I said to her. She looked at me with wide eyes. I took another breath and resumed talking. "The last few days when you were back here, you were just doing things with CaRLos." I said, as her eyes turned to annoyance. "I miss my friend, my friend who made me laugh and with whom I could do the craziest things. You are no longer yourself." I walked slowly towards her. I saw that she had her hand on a necklace she was wearing. "Of course that makes sense because of everything you've been through the last 3 years. But.". I carefully grabbed her hand. It was freezing cold and she was shaking a little. "I just want you back in my life." For a few seconds Olivia's eyes and mine continued to stare at each other. Her beautiful blue eyes stared into mine. She closed them for a moment. And broke the perception of our eye contact. I ruined it. I let go of her hands and took a step back.

Suddenly I felt two arms fly around my neck. It was Olivia. "I miss you too. I really want to be friends again!" I breathed out air I didn't even know I was holding. I laid my head on hers and gave her a big hug.
Olivia's hands tightened around my neck. And she hid her head in my chest. Finally she let go and looked at me with a cautious smile. "I'm going to bed now before my grandparents find out I'm gone." I heard her say. I nodded, speechless at what just happened. She waved for a moment before turning to walk away. She walked around the corner from her house and I fell down on the grass. I really didn't expect this at all. She didn't even get mad, I didn't expect that. I sat up straight and glanced at Olivia's window. After a few minutes I got up to walk home.

Olivia's POV

The next morning I awoke to screams in the city. I opened my eyes slowly and looked towards the clock. It's already 1:00 PM!! I jumped out of bed to the bathroom. "Wow calm down sister!!". I heard Matteo calling. "Can't sorry, I have arranged with Mirabelle!". I yelled as I ran past him. It's Abuella's birthday I promised to help her with her chores. After getting ready, I ran down the stairs. I grabbed a crossant from the kitchen and called to my grandparents. "Sorry must go see you tonight!!". And I ran out the door. QUICK QUICK!!! I ran past everyone. And sometimes even against a few people. "Sorry excuse me going truw!". I cried all the time. Finally I saw the Madrigal house. I'm late I'm very late! Finally I came to the Madrigal house. I ran into the house and saw the concerned face of Mirabelle standing with her parents and her tia and tio. "I'm here!!". I said gasping for breath. "You are late!". I heard Mirabelle say. "I'm sorry I'm really sorry!".

I hung over my knees, still gasping for breath. "I was asleep and slept too long.". I said. "You did run fast, didn't you?" I heard Bruno say. I looked up from my knees and he pointed his eyes at my feet. I looked at my feet and saw that I hadn't put on any shoes. "Oh shit.". I said right away as I slapped myself on the forehead. I immediately heard the rest laugh. "Do you need something to eat?" Julietta asked as she quietly walked over to me. "No I have a crossant.". I said as I held it up. She smiled and walked towards the kitchen. "Felicidades con tu madre!".

I called after Julietta. She didn't answer, but I knew she heard me. Mirabelle came closer. "Let's get you some water first." I nodded and followed her into the kitchen. When we got there, Dolores, Camilo, and Lela were sitting there. Camilo gave me a funny look when I entered. Mirabelle walked to the counter and grabbed a drink. "What have you done now?" Camilo asked. "I was a little late." I said a little guilty. Mirabelle immediately turned around and looked at me very strangely. "What?". I asked her as I very carefully took the cup from her hands. "You are talking again?". Mirabelle looked at me as if I were sick. And then Dolores spoke. "Yeah, they made it right last night." Camilo gave her an irritated look. Mirabelle and Lela looked at us both crazy. "Why can't I have friends anymore?". I asked right away. "What no, I don't mean that. I just didn't think you guys would ever make it up again." I took a sip of my drink while listening to Mirabelle. "Well it probably wouldn't be like it used to be but this is better than nothing." I said as I nodded to Camilo. He smiled and I took another sip of my drink. "Okay we can go." I said as I put my glass down on the table. Mirabelle immediately took me by the hand and dragged me outside.
