You Don't Leave The Person You Love

Shawn's POV

I hated this feeling. This feeling, I was empty. My thoughts were clogged with memories of Camila and snippets of things she'd say and my heart was shattered but somehow thinking of Camila made it all seem the slightest bit of okay.

I had no idea if she really did love me or if she was covering it up because of her anxieties that I wish I could scare away. It wasn't that easy.

I wasn't going to let her just slip from my mind, I don't even think that would be possible no matter how bad I would like it to.

She was special and being in love, I had no idea how it worked. Neither did she, which would explain her anxiety. I needed her and I couldn't have her right now. She wasn't ready for me and there was nothing that I could say or do to fix that.

"You can't just mope around." My mother explained to me through the phone. I didn't know if telling her would be the best idea because I didn't want her to hate Camila because certainly that's not what I felt.

"You need to wait for her...give her some time, son. She'll come around." My father said to me. They were never like this. They would've instantly hated the women I was with as shallow as it is. "I love her, she is perfect for you and I know that she's not just one to walk out of your life." My mother was caring and protective over Camila, sometimes more than me and it was sweet but sometimes it got a little annoying but right now, it was sweet.

I ended the call and continued to mope despite my mother's words.

I was startled by my phone's obnoxious ringing. I didn't need to speak to my parents some more.

I didn't even check who it was, assuming it was just my nosey family.

"Hello?"

"Shawn? It's Sinu." My body jolted up from my bed, my heart started to beat erratically. Camila's mom never called me and when she did it I only assumed the worst.

"I just wanted to talk...about Camila. If you're okay with that."

I nodded my head but realized she couldn't see me. "Okay, yeah...sure." I was prepared to be yelled at but that's not at all what happened.

"My daughter...she pushes people away and more often than not...it works." My breathing hitched and tears started to sting my eyes. "But with that being said, it doesn't work when it comes to you." I let out a relieved breath that I didn't even know I was holding.

"She loves you...I know it, Mijo. I've seen the way she looks at you."

Hearing her mother tell me that Camila did love me made me feel some type of way. I was over the moon but realization settled in and I knew that it wouldn't be easy for her to just come back and say it to me.

"She's not good with feelings but I promise you, she will break and she will tell you. I know it...please, don't give up on her. She needs you more than you know."

She didn't need to worry about me giving up on Camila. I wasn't planning on it and I certainly did not want to. "I'm never going to give up on her, I love her too much."

Admitting it out loud to someone that wasn't Camila made me feel good but it also made me feel guilty that I could say these things so easily and yet Camila couldn't.

"I know you do...thank you."

The call ended and so did my worries. Knowing that Camila did love me and that she just needed time made my heart flutter and ache at the same time. This time away from her is going to suck and I'm going to mope for a lot of those times but I know that the second I see Camila, the second I face her, I will be overjoyed and I'll do everything in my power to make her believe that I'll never leave, no matter what.

She was everything to me and I know I'm in too deep. I know that she thinks I need someone else but I don't want someone else. She didn't understand that she was perfect in all aspects, even the chaotic parts were perfect. She was perfect to me and I love her for everything and anything she does.

I needed her to know that.

I wanted her to know that.

She needed to know that I wasn't going to leave because you don't leave the person you're in love with.
