Ciao Bella

Prologue

Camilla's Pov

I leaned over the toilet bowl brining up all the food that was left in my stomach. The cool feel of the tiles make contact with my skin as I leaned my head against the bathroom wall. I looked up at the vanity seeing the positive pregnancy test on top of the result of my blood test. Just looking at the results was enough to make me want to vomit again. The tears welled up in my eyes and I leaned over the bowl throwing up the last remains of whatever was in my body.

I felt the tears run down my face as I flushed the vomit and walked out of my ensuite bathroom. I sat down on my bed and put my head in my hands. A sob made its way out of my throat. Once I started crying I couldn't stop, I curled up in a ball and brought the covers up to my head and hoped I could cry myself into my first peaceful sleep since I found out about the baby.

"Hai bisogno di mangiare baby(you need to eat baby)." My mother soothed in Italian as she rubbed my back. I stuck my head out of the covers and looked up at her with tear filled eyes.

"What's the point?" I answered rolling my eyes. "I'm going to throw it up anyway."

"Honey its going to effect the growth the baby." Thats the first time we have spoken about it since the blood test results came back two days ago.

"Can I skip school today today mamma?" I asked with a hopeful tone.

"Avete bisogno di dire di lui prima o poi camilla(you need to tell him sooner or later Camilla)." She sighed.

"So che la mamma, ma ho paura(I know mum, but i'm scared)."

"Hurry up and get dressed Camilla you're going to be late." She said as she walked out of my room closing the door behind her.

I walked into my bathroom again and looked into my mirror. My eyes were red from crying and my hair was a mess. The sound of the shower turning on startled me, I looked next to me and saw my maid Lucy. I shot her a grateful smile and she returned it before scurrying out of my room.

I got in the warm water letting it relax my muscles. Without realising my hand found its way to my stomach and felt the area where my baby would be growing. I smiled at the though of holding a baby.

I stepped out of the shower and got dressed into simple, blue ripped jeans and an oversized V-neck sweater. I threw my hair up in a messy bun and did a very natural make-up look. The pregnancy test and the results from the blood test were sitting on the vanity while I stared at them deciding if I should take them or not.

"Camilla come down for breakfast please," My dad yelled up the stairs.

"Prossimi papà(coming dad)." I yelled back.

I stuffed the pregnancy test in my bag leaving behind the blood test results as I ran downstairs into the kitchen. The smell of bacon and eggs wafted up my nose and I slapped my hand on to my mouth and ran to the closest bathroom. There was nothing left in my body for to vomit up so I just leaned over the toilet dry heaving.

Once I stopped heaving I turned around and saw my family staring at me.

"I think I'll just have some plain toast this morning." I mumbled in shame. "Sorry dad i know you wanted to eat as a family this morning."

"Il suo fine Milla(It's fine Milla)." He reassured me. Knowing that when he talks to me in Italian it calms me down.

We walked back into the kitchen in a comfortable silence. I grabbed a slice of plain toast and sat on the bench munching away on the dry piece of bread. Lucy walked in with the dirty dishes from my parents meals. She smiled and shook her head at me, I returned the smile and jumped of the bench.

"When will you learn not to sit on the bench Camilla?"

I laughed and shrugged my shoulders walking out of the kitchen. My mum gave me a look telling me to hurry up so I grabbed my bag and made my to the car.

Mum stopped the car like she usually does about ten minutes away from school. She turned and looked at me and shot me a small smile. I got what she was trying to tell me with that look so I nodded my head and climbed out of the car. I shut the door and started heading in the direction of school.

I walked into the school with the weight of the positive pregnancy test in my backpack. I looked around for my boyfriend, Ethan Williams.

I subconsciously placed my hand protectively over my stomach. The thought of a baby, my baby, growing in there is enough to make me smile

I spotted him waiting at my locker like usual so he can walk me to class. As I moved towards him the butterflies in my stomach were turning into a jungle.

He didn't deserve becoming at dad at the age of 17. Without thinking I turned around and ran before he could see me.

I ran and ran as far as I could. I stopped to catch my breath and pulled out my phone and pressed my mothers contact.

(A/N: this next conversation will be in Italian. Translation will be there, this is just a heads up :)

"La mamma non potevo farlo(Mum i couldn't do it)." I sobbed into my phone.

"Non poteva fare ciò che di bello?(couldn't do what beautiful?)" She asked with worry.

"Non potrei dire di lui, così ho eseguito(I couldn't tell him, so I ran)." I cried.

"Oh sweetie, dove sei adesso?(Oh sweetie, where are you now?)"

"Dove hai lasciato me off questa mattina(where you dropped me off this morning)." I sniffled trying to calm down.

"Soggiorno a mettere, io sono venuta a farti(stay put, I am coming to get you)." Mum told me.

"Okay mamma, si prega di fretta(Okay mum, please hurry)." I whimpered.

"Sto arrivando baby, ti amo(I'm coming baby, I love you)."

"Ti amo troppo la mamma(I love you too mum)." With that she hung up while I waited for her to show up.

That's the last time I saw the father of my child.
