"You didn't even think about it" Camilo began after hearing your words, thunder rumbling

"There's nothing to think about" You answered taking your hands away from him "I'm flattered that you like me, but I can't be with you"

He watches you take a step back and away from him "Why not?"

Why not?, You repeated "Because" You began "I don't remember who I am" You said remembering that you still supposedly have amnesia "No past, no memories. How can you like someone who doesn't who they were?"

"You think I care about that?" He asks walking up to you to hold your hands once more "I get scared and forget who I am, and you think I'm going to care when you don't even remember?"

Well, that's the the thing... You thought I do remember

"I don't care about your past, or the fact that you don't have one" He continues on "I care about your future, a future where you're happy, where you'll let me be with you. I love you, I really do"

You stared at him, tears brimming in your eyes, thankful for the rain who washed the tears away, you swallowed down the pain and guilt and regret stabbing at your heart, I have to stay strong, you pleaded to yourself "My answer is still No" You pulled away from him "It takes courage to confess. I won't avoid you, you don't have to worry about that" You said hugging yourself and turned to walk back to the Casita

"Y/n" He calls out trying again

"Lets go back" You replied, stopping for a second, only to walk back home before he notices the redness of your eyes "Its almost time for dinner"

You knew that everyone in the house heard everything, you can tell from how the clouds and rain never cleared, Tia Pepa must be upset you turned Camilo down

You spoke up first, breaking the silence you and Camilo had on the way, you turned to look at him who hasn't spoken, smiled or joked since you both walked away, his eyes have gotten red, Did he start crying? You asked yourself. You wanted to comfort him, to tell him he's alright, that he'll be fine, If he confessed to someone else, you could've helped him but he didn't he confessed to you, he likes you. Your stomach churned with guilt and regret once again "Shower first or else you'll get sick"

He looks at you, tired "And if I don't?"

You and I will fight, You thought wanting to say that but instead you shrug "Then don't" You walked in "Casita can you make the stairs directly at the nursery? I don't want to get your floors wet'

You watched as Casita changes the position of the stairs so you can have a chance to sprint up and through your room before anyone can stop and ask you questions

"Mi Vida?" Felix calls his son who just stayed in place and watched you disappear behind your room door "Camilo?"

Camilo turns to look at his father and mother who looks at him apologetically, even Dolores was there, she wouldn't meet his eyes, he can tell everyone knew.

"Mijo are you ok?" Pepa asks

He laughs, it was forced and dragged out, it hurts doing this, but if he didn't they'll only ask him "Hey guys, I'm ok, don't worry" He lied "I'm not hungry" He informed before walking to his room and locking the door behind

Once you closed the door, you placed a hand to your chest, stilling your breathing, Your ok, your ok You chanted in your head, as tears started streaming down your cheeks You did the right thing, Its better this way. Camilo will be ok, you'll be ok

You fells on your knees, placing a hand on your mouth so you don't alert anyone, crying to yourself I'm Sorry, I'm so so so sorry. You'll forgive me one day Camilo, You'll understand one day. I did this for you
