Everything's Fine

"Aw you're so sweet," I looked over to Camilo, "Can't believe you made your poor little brother worry about you."

He gave me a wounded look at my comment.

"Are you guys sure you're not dating?" Antonio's question caught me off guard.

"Wha- what" Camilo stammered. "Why do you keep asking that? The answer hasn't changed."

"Why?" Antonio gazed at us innocently.

"Because Camilo's a wuss." A voice interjected.

"Shut up Isabela."

I stayed awkwardly silent, ignoring the burning in my cheeks. Camilo looked towards me,

"Ignore her, she's just being annoying trying to make things what they're  not." He brushed it off.

I felt a pang of disappointment in my chest. Does he not feel the same as I do?

Am I just a fun little distraction?

Unconsciously I held my breath, until I was shaken out of it by Camilo.

"Y/N? Are you feeling okay? Do you need more sleep?" Camilo placed his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm fine..." I took his hand off my shoulder while avoiding his gaze, which wasn't an easy task, I could feel his hazel eyes burning into me. "I think I need to go home. Like now. Bye."

I rushed out before he could say anything, but I knew he'd be right behind me. The meaning of his words weren't definite but they still crushed me. I couldn't look at him.

"Y/N! Wait! What's going on? Did I do something?" He pleaded, worry showing on his face. "Why won't you look at me?"

I turned away from him blinking back tears, "I'm fine Camilo, everything's fine, I just need to go home right now."

I began to walk again Camilo reached out to try to stop me but couldn't. His feet were stuck to the ground by ice.

"What the hell-?" I heard Camilo mutter.

I glanced back, "I'm sorry, please just go back to your family." I choked out before running off.

He didn't say anything after that, I know it was selfish, but a part of me wanted him to call out my name again.

When I reached my house- or Ben's house I practically ran inside before instantly bumping into someone.

"Hey, what's the rush kiddo?" Ben joked but he dropped it as he saw my expression, "Are you okay? Is it about your mom, cause I swear none of the shit she says is true..." Ben continued talking but I wasn't listening.

Am I overreacting? Why did I do that? It's not his fault if he doesn't reciprocate my feelings. Did I act rash? Why did I let my anxiety get the best of me? I should've never let myself fall for him.

"I think I just ruined my relationship with Camilo!" I cried out cutting off Ben's rant.

Ben was shocked by my sudden confession, he took a couple seconds to process everything.

"Let's go sit down and you can tell me everything." He finally said. 

After I responded with a shaky nod, Ben led me over to the couch.

"So what happened?"

I took a deep breathe in,

"It started with Isabela teasing Camilo about you know... me and him. Then he said something about her implying there's actually something there, and I kinda started mentally freaking out. I started thinking about the possibility of him just you know messing with me. What if he doesn't actually like me, what if he's just messing around? And I knew I needed to get out of there quickly before anyone noticed I was freaking out. So I left, but Camilo knew something was up and I couldn't look at him so- God I'm so stupid. I made sure he couldn't follow me by freezing his feet to the ground. He probably hates me now." I ranted.

"Y/N I'm sure he's not angry at you and he sure as hell doesn't hate you for having emotions." Ben said.

"You didn't see the look on his face before I left him there."

"Y/N you're letting yourself overthink this. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but you need to talk to him, let him know what's wrong."

I felt fresh tears break away from eyes, Ben panicked.

"Wait no! I didn't realize the advice would upset you that much!"

"It's not that." I chuckled softly, "It's just that was the exact advice Camilo gave me when I was freaking out about my mom."

"So are you gonna talk to him?" Ben asked.

"Yeah just need to prepare myself first." I laughed nervously.

"I'll get the comfort cookies."

"Dang, you read my mind."

A/N
