How did I get here?| Camilo X Reader

Chapter Twelve-Meanings

It has already been a week and I haven't seen anything weird about the tulip painting on my wall. I really didn't feel like looking today since it has stayed the same for a long time. But I felt like today was going to be different.

I moved the dresser out of the way and looked at the wall. I gasped at what I saw.

It was the same pink tulip that has been there since I found it, but there was something else...a yellow tulip? It was indeed a yellow tulip beside the pink one.

Then I got an idea. But I needed Camilo to come with me.

I grabbed my bag and headed out the door, making my way to the Casita.

When I arrived, I was about to go knock on the door when it suddenly opened by itself. I guess Casita got used to me coming almost every day. To my surprise, Camilo was standing in front of me.

"What are you-"

"Dolores heard you come," he said quickly, already knowing what I was going to ask.

"Okay? I need you."

"I know, that's why I'm here."

"Okay, then let's go!" I grabbed his wrist and dragged him with me, "tell me where the nearest library is."

"Uh, why do you want to know where the nearest library is?" He asked as we walked.

"Because, I found a change on the tulip today."

"Wait, WHAT?!"

"Yeah, there appeared another tulip beside it, but this time it was yellow."

"Then why do you need to go to the library for that?"

"I want to do some research on the tulips, to see if they have anything to do with the connection between my world and yours."

He nodded, "that makes sense. Follow me."

He led me to a small library that I recall passing by many times but I guess I have never noticed it. We entered it and a man greeted us. As I was looking around, I noticed that the bookshelves were very tall despite the size of the shop.

I began searching in every section, they seemed to be ordered by the alphabet, so I decided to look for the letter F for Flower.

'By the way...where did Camilo go? I thought he was following behind me, but I guess I was wrong'

I finally got to the section.

"Here it is!" I exclaimed. I tried to grab the book that was titled, 'Tulips And Everything You Need To Know About Them.' But it was in a place where it was too tall to reach. I looked around to see if there was anything that I could climb on and my eyes landed on a wooden ladder. I took it, and put it in the place that I wanted. Then, I started climbing it, careful to not fall, I grabbed the book and started climbing back down carefully. But my dumbass missed a whole step.

'Shit'

A feeling of emptiness filled me as I was falling. I shut my eyes.

I tried to reach out and grab the ladder. Which, of course, didn't work.

I was about to hit the floor when I felt someone grab me. I slowly opened my eyes and it was Camilo.

We stayed there making eye contact, but it wasn't that weird eye contact that we always did, it felt...different? I felt something that I have never felt before...

'Butterflies? No. Of course not! Why would I be feeling that? I just see him as a friend.'
