Regardless || Carlos De Vil || B2 || ✔️

.:: Chapter 20 : Promised ::.

.:: Your POV, a few hours later::.

Everything was finally okay. Uma was stopped and Mal and Ben were back together, and by now it was time for the final dance at Cotillion. Carlos kisses your hand, "I'll be right back."
"Okay," you said, smiling.

He ran up the stairs and tapped on Ben's shoulder, and whispered something in his ear. Ben nodded, smiling. He grabbed a microphone, "Everyone! May I have your attention please?"

You looked over and saw Carlos fiddling with his hands. Ben nodded at Carlos and he smiled, walking down to you. "(Y/n)?" he takes your hands.

You raised a brow and grinned, "What are you doing...?" you asked. He chuckled,
"You're going to like this. Trust me."

Carlos reached into his shorts and pulled out a small box. Your eyes go wide and you heard Evie squeal. "Carlos..?"
"(Y/n) Radcliffe, I know we've gone through a lot since we met and the beginning of the year. And now that year is nearly over. We've been together through everything. Except for that one week, but, we don't talk about that..."

Everyone laughs and you blushed a little.

"I know now that everything that happened on the isle was because of Uma, and I'm sorry I didnt believe you. You mean everything to me - and I'm sorry I did a hell of a job at showing it. I know you love me, and I love you, and you could never hurt me and I will never hurt you."

"I know we're young - 17 and 16 - but I know for a fact that you're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. So, I'm giving you this..." he opened the box and inside it is a small silver ring.

 He held your hand, "This is a promise ring. With this ring, I promise to be eternally loyal to you and you alone. With this ring I promise to spend the rest of my life with you and start a family with you... if you'll accept it."

Your eyes cloud with tears and you grinned, "Yes. I.. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, too!"
He smiled wide, "Really??"
"Yes!!" you laughed.

He eagerly takes the ring out of the box and slips it on your finger. You look at it, grinning, then wrap your arms around his neck and kiss him passionately.

Everyone around you cheered.

And that was the first step to the best years of your life, being promised to the love of your life, Carlos Oscar De Vil.

The end.

Wow.

When I first made this book, I did not ever think it would get as big as it is now. When I wrote book 1 I had like, only 10 followers, but now I have 1.15k. Absolutely mad. And don't even get me started on the views! I can't believe you guys love this book so much. 

At the time, this was my favorite book I've ever read. It may not be my best and my favorite anymore, but it still is extremely important to me, especially after recent events.

I know I've said it in my chapter saying goodbye to Cameron, but I'll say it again: I owe my writing to Cameron. That's why, after he died, I decided to rewrite this book. I wanted to do it as a thank you for everything he did for me.

Cameron made me fall in love with writing, and writing this book specifically made me realize, "hey, I love writing, I should do it more!"

I had little stories on the side, but nothing too special. But this set it off. 200k+ reads on b1 and now 100k on book 2 on this website alone (dunno how many on quotev, I've long quit that), I'm blessed at how far I've come.

I have many other stories now, but this one will always be special to me.

Now, for a question I'm sure will be asked:

What's going to happen to the third book now since there's a D3?

After watching D3 today, I have decided to not made a third book. I feel like that's overkill, and I feel like this is okay where it is. I love Cameron and Carlos, but it's time to end Regardless. And that's okay.

I won't make any more Cameron stories, but I will never forget writing this and my other ones for him. I will always love this book and I will always love Cameron for everything he's done for me.

This is the final update for this book - and that's okay. So, for the final time, thank you for everything. You guys are amazing. Thank you for helping me fall in love with writing.

I love you all.
