The Dried Roses Of Our Love (Oneshot)- Camila/You

The Dried Roses Of Our Love

I let out a shaky breath as I bend down beside me bed, I reached for under the bed and I felt around for the box I knew was under here.

My hand came in contact with the cardboard box a few moments later so I quickly pulled it out from under the bed and lifted up to the top of the bed.

I slowly crawled onto the bed and stared at the box in front of me, I felt a tear slip out from my eye as I looked at the damned thing.

"Fuck Camila, you said you'd never leave" I whispered to myself causing more tears to come.

It took about an hour before I could actually open the old box, once I did it finally revealed the contents that I haven't dared to look at for the past two weeks.

Inside the box was 5 of the most beautiful memories I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing in my 24 years of life, inside the box was 5 of the most gorgeous roses I had ever gotten from the love of my life, even though they may lack the beauty they once had everything else about the dried out roses was very much beautiful.

I carefully reached my hand inside the box and pulled out the first one that touched my hand.

I pulled it into view and with my other hand I grabbed the small piece of paper that was attached to it, I opened up the paper and ready what it had said.

Today is the seventh grade dance and I know you didn't want to go at first but I really hope you had fun cause I know I did (I hope I did cause I wrote this before it started...)

-Camila

I let out a sigh as I thought back to that day.

Flashback:

"C'mon babe I think your mom is here to get us" Camila said as she took a hold of my hand and gently lead me through the crowded dance floor and over to the doors.

"But I don't wanna leave" I said with a pout as she walked us over to in front of the door.

"I know but I don't want to make your mom mad by making her wait and besides we can still hang out at your house till my mom comes to get me" Camila said with a smile growing on her features, she brought my hand up to her lips and placed a gentle kiss on it causing a big smile to form on my face.

"Fine" I said while the blush on my cheeks grew in color, Camila brought her free hand up to my face and brushed a stray hair out of my eyes and smiled gently.

"Lets go" She said and I nodded allowing her to lead me out of the school gym and into the parking lot.

When we made it to the parking lot we had instantly spotted my mom in her car which was parked right by the sidewalk.

Camila and I walked hand in hand over to the car and once we were by the door Camila opened it up for me and allowed me to get in first, once she got in she closed the door behind her.

"Girls so how was it?" My mom asked as she looked at us from the rear view mirror.

"It was great Mrs.Y/ln, I'm glad I got to spend it with Y/n thank you for bringing us here" Camila said as she placed her arm over my shoulder and pulled me into her side.

"Camila I've told you since you were seven to call me by my first name" My mom said with a chuckle "And I'm glad you had fun and it was my pleasure to bring you guys here" My mom added before she started up the car and pulled away from the curb. "What about you Y/n? Did you have fun?" She asked she we were about to leave the parking lot.
