Cooler than me ~~~ Camilo x Reader

Chapter 3: "I wish i could live without you but you're a part of me"

Camilo POV:
As i watched y/n play with the little kids i admired her laugh and her eyes how they looked almost closed when she smiled. Her hair how it moved with every step she took. Her nose how it fit her face perfectly and how it scrunched up once in a while. Her lips how they moved gracefully with every word she spoke. I could listen to her voice for bourse on end. 'she's beautiful and if i'm being honest she's really the best person i know'

Y/n POV:
I turned around and it was Camilo looking at me smiling. "Your amazing you know that?" he asked "thank you" i said smiling and wrapping my arms around his neck. "your so beautiful" he smirked and kissed me softly. "ewwww" all the kids said "that's gross".

We laughed and continued playing with them. "So are you and Camilo boyfriend girlfriend" a little boy asked me. "Yeah we are" he said putting an arm around me "what little man you trying to steal my girl" he raised an eyebrow. "i challenge you to a duel for her love" he said and picked the little boy up. "no" the boy laughed. "you're gonna win" he said "yeah i know" Camilo said all cocky.

"i guess i'm the only one worthy of her affection" he said falling into my arms. i giggled when i felt a tap on my back. it was Pepa. "The Guzmàns are leaving and Abuela wants you to say goodbye come one" she said rushing me over there.

"Alright then i think we have an agreement, when i y/n turns 17 she will be married to Juan" Abuela said sternly. "Wait what?" i asked. "We have decided" she said and pushed me towards Juan. "I don't want to" i spoke a bit loudly. "y/n behave" abuela said. "i shouldn't have to". "y/n that's enough!" she yelled. "it's my life i should have a say" i pleaded.

"mama no!" Pepa yelled as abuela struck me across the face. I held my face. It stung badly and i felt tears start to form. "Abuela! She should have a say in this she's the one getting mar-" Camilo started but before i could process what was happening all i heard was pepa screaming "stop please stop!" before the sound of a smack and a groan. "Camilo and Y/n i have had enough of you both you embarrass me constantly" Abuela yelled.

"It's about time someone put you in your place" Juan spoke before raising his hand at me "NO!" Camilo yelled but it was too late. His hand struck what felt like through my face leaving my nose covered in red. Before i knew it Juan was on the floor Camilo on top of him. Luisa pulling Camilo off and Mariano holding Juan back.

The music had stopped and the only sound left was Camilo struggling "Get off of me!" He pushed trying to get at Juan. "Calm down!" Luisa yelled. I looked at the scene in front of me i looked back at Abuela she looked scared afraid of what she started. The Guzmàns left quickly and what was left was Pepa crying and Fèlix comforting her, Antonio in Dolores' arms sobbing softly, mirabel luisa and isa staring in shock, and julieta and augustine looking at Abuela.

I looked at Camilo his cheek red and scratched from Abuelas ring. He was bleeding and his neck was red from Juan choking him. I looked down and i was dripping blood and my nose hurt like hell. Pepa was a the first to leave crying. Then the rest of the family headed to their rooms silently. Abuela tried to speak but nothing came out i grabbed Camilo's hand glaring at her and brought him to my room.

I shut the door and broke down crying. "hey hey hey it's ok you're ok just breathe" he said sitting next to me. I was gasping for air and looking around shaking. "y/n look at me" he spoke softly. i looked at him and he held my hand "i'm ok and you're ok he's gone and she's gone it's just me and you just us ok?" he tried calming me down. "o-ok i'm good i'm good" i said walking over to my bathroom. i washed my face off watching the red fall into the sink. I got most of the blood off and stopped the bleeding too. I looked at Camilo and sat him down on my bed.

I got a wet a paper towel and slowly started to clean his cut. "Are you okay" i asked running my fingers down his neck. "sss yeah just don't press down on it too hard" he winced. "You're crazy right?" i said. "what do you mean" he asked. "He's twice your size Camilo how could you be so stupid" i pushed him. "He hit you!" Camilo yelled "Really? I couldn't tell" i said "Tch" Camilo scoffed. "Just don't ever do that again" i said while wiping the blood off his face. "i'll do it again and again and again as many times as it takes to protect you" he said holding my hand. "i can do that mused just fine don't worry" i squeezed his hand.

I heard a knock at my door. I went and opened it and there was a tray of food two arepas. I smiled and brought it over to my bed. "Here eat" i said shoving a piece into Camilo's mouth. His cut healed up and the bruise on his neck was almost gone. i was gonna give him more but he stopped me "I'll let this one heal up on its own it makes me look badass" he smiled "and who are you trying to impress" "you of course" he laughed and tackled me. "ow wait wait wait lemme eat on first" i laughed and took a bite. My pain went away instantly. "ok we're good" i said and tackled him back. "i can't believe you did that for me" i said touching our foreheads together. "i'm quite the knight in shining armor aren't i" he smirked. "yeah except you got your ass beat" i laughed and kissed his lips harshly while running my fingers through his hair.

"i did not" he said holding my hand. "right".

"i don't think we'll ever be good enough for her you'll never be perfect enough i won't be manly enough" Camilo said quietly. "But that's doesn't matter" i said. "It doesn't?" he asked. "No because your enough for me and i'm hoping i'm enough for you" i said. "more than that" he smiled.

i heard another knock at my door. "no don't get it i just want it to be us" Camilo said. "whatever you want" i laughed.

"yeah no" dolores said as she walked in my room. "whyy" he groaned. "grow up" i laughed and nudged him. "you first" he laughed.

"are you guys ok" mirabel asked. "yeah tia Julieta dropped off some food" Camilo said. "i'm sorry that happened" Luisa spoke. "yeah i didn't think she would take it that far" isabela told me. "me neither"
"and i'm definitely gonna be paying Juan a visit" Luisa said cracking her knuckles. "Is pepi ok?" i asked dolores. "A bit shaken up but she's ok".

"Do you think Abuela is gonna apologize" i asked no one specifically "i hope so" mirabel said.

"it's late i kinda just wanna sleep but thanks for coming to check on us" i said. they all got up and left and i fell asleep Camilo holding me.
