The choice of destiny (s.m. & c.c.)

Chapter 11

Camila POV

As we sat down Shawn talked to his parents and I just looked at him. Karen noticed that I was looking at him and asked:

„How long have you two known each other?" She asked me while smiling.

„Not long. Just a few days.." I answered.

„Yeah but it feels so much longer." Shawn added and Karen smirked at him. „Why you looking at me like that?" Shawn asked Karen.

„How am I looking?" Karen asked him.

„Don't act stupid mom. You know what I mean. You look like...that." He said and pointed to her face.

„I don't know what you mean. So Camila? Are you a born Fox or were you sorted?"

„I got sorted. I didn't like that at all but now I got used to it." I answered.

„Why didn't you like it?" Manuel asked me still looking suspiciously at me.

„I didn't want to leave my family. I still don't like the idea that I've to 'live' without them." I answered honest and I could see a little sad facial expression on their faces.

„Were you close with your parents? You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Karen said.

„It's okay. Yes, I was close to them. We always joked and made fun of each other. I already miss them and I’ve been here only for a few days without them. I'm gonna miss my dad's jokes, my mother's advices and for sure the hugs my sister used give me." I said with a sad smile. Karen looked understandably and suddenly she stood up and hugged me.

,,I don't wanna know how it feels for you and your family but if you EVER need something, we're here." She said so heartwarming.

,,Thank you" It's all I could say.

Shawn POV

As my mom hugged Camila I felt something, I couldn't describe.

,,You said you have a sister. What's her name and how old is she?" My mom asked Camila and she smiled. I could feel how special it felt for Camila to talk about her family with someone else and I knew that my mom loved to talk to her about it.

,,Her name is Sofia but we call her Sofie and she's eight years old." Camila answered.

,,Oh my god... She's so young. Was she hurt as you... you know?" My mom asked Camila.

,,Shawn, would you come a second?" My dad asked and we left the girls to talk alone. We entered the kitchen and I asked.

,,What's wrong, dad?"

,,There's nothing wrong. I was just wondering who is this girl."

,,What do you mean? I just told you her name is Camila and-" I answered but he interrupted me before I could finish.

,,I mean who is she for YOU?"

,,I don't understand..."

,,Shawn, don't play stupid. You look at her in a way I can't describe. You've never looked like that at someone." He said and really meant it.

,,Dad.."

,,No Shawn. Trust me. That Olivia bitch fucked up. Okay? She played with you and we both know that. But not everyone is like her! Now please open your eyes and don't do something dumb. Come on, let's get back. That was all I wanted to say."

As we got back I couldn't concentrate at what my mom and Camila were saying. All I was doing, was staring at Camila and thinking about what my dad said. But my thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringtone. I looked at my screen and saw that Aaliyah was calling me.
