{Chapter 70.} I Say No

As soon as they got back to the Casita, Mirabel ran up to Camilo.

"Cam, I am so, so, sorry for letting that happen. I shouldn't have left you alone-!" Mirabel hugged him.

"Its fine.. it's not your fault." Camilo hugged Mirabel back, making him feel better about the situation and he slightly smiled feeling more safe.

Camilo let go of Mirabel then looked away and saw Dolores. Dolores rushed toward him and quickly hugged him aswell. "Camilo, are you okay?! Where were you?!" Dolores said, raising her voice slightly, making it louder than her normal whisper, or quiet sounding voice.

"I'm okay, I think. And I'd rather not talk about it." Camilo said.

A few hours later, everyone except Antonio was called downstairs so they could discuss the situation, meanwhile Camilo walked upstairs into Antonio's room.

"Hey, did you miss me?" Camilo asked jokingly.

Antonio's face immediately lit up with happiness. "Where were you for so long? Mirabel said someone took you somewhere!"

"Yeah, that did happen but I'm alright, nothing bad happened. I'm gonna go to my room for now okay?" Camilo said.

"Okay. I'll find you there later, I want to go see what everyone else is talking about.' Antonio said.

Camilo walked out of Antonio's room, wandering around the halls of the Casita until he found his room and walked inside. Somehow he had forgotten where his room was after so long.

Camilo looked around. Remembering everything that happen. Then he saw a red curtain that covered and entire wall of his room, but it wasnt actually covering a wall, it covered what looked like an entire theater. But ever since Lorenzo left Camilo hadn't dared to go in that part of his room. Now he did.

Slowly he opened up the red curtain, revealing the rest of the room that looked like some sort of theater but the only thing that bothered him... each chair was replaced with a mirror. Camilo stared at this part of his room. It's been so long since he has seen it.

Camilo closed the curtain again, afraid of what he saw. Then he looked for his notebook. But it wasnt where he left it. Just then he saw one of Antonio's animals running out of Camilo's room with the notebook.

"They promised they wouldn't." Camilo knew exactly what was happening.

Camilo ran downstairs and saw the notebook being handed to Pepa. Nobody knew he had written more pages in his notebook. If anyone ever read them he'd be in more trouble with his family.

He was to late, at least Pepa and Abuela already had read the newest pages from after what happened to Lorenzo.

Everyone looked at Camilo. No one had anything to say.

Abuela walked to Camilo, just as she was about to yell at him, Camilo spoke up.

"I know you'll just yell at me again. You really wont be happy until I die, huh." Camilo took his notebook back.

"So now your accusing me?!" Abuela looked at him.

"This is it. I'm done. If you want me gone so bad then fine. I'll go back to that place. I'd rather die then have to be yelled at by you." Camilo laughed and felt tears start to fall down the sides of his face while he kept a smile.

"That's not at all what I would-" Abuela was interrupted

"I thought you stopped acting like this. Dont say a word, you speak and I can't say anything. You'll twist the truth again, You said you'd stop. But your still using me to justify the harm you do." Camilo let the notebook fall out of his hands and into the floor. Thinking there was no use for it anymore.

"Camilo stop!" Mirabel said, wanting Camilo to stop before he got into any trouble.

"Blame your childhood, blame us all, blame the life you 'never had'." Isabela said while laughing.

"But hurting people that's your choice because people won't care?!" Camilo snapped back at Isabela.

"Camilo stop!" Mirabel tried yelling again, but for some reason she was just barely able to say it.

"I say NO! I'm done. IM DONE WITH EVERYTHING. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. AFTER EVERYTHING IVE GONE THROUGH. AFTER EVERYTHING THAT'S JUST HAPPENED. AFTER EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE. YOUR WILLING TO BLAME ME FOR EVERYTHING?! AND NOW YOU QUESTION WHY I WANT TO DIE?! ITS BECAUSE I DONT WANNA LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE!" Camilo shouted, meaning every word he said.
