So this chapter had been unplanned and was written the morning of great tragedy, I apologize that it's so short and sad. We miss you Cameron and I hope you are dancing your heart out with the angels along the clouds of Heaven.
Camilla sat in her room that night in the darkness thinking about her brother miles away in Auradon. She wasn't sure why but memories of them plagued her thoughts tonight more than any other night. Thoughts of them growing up together, every time he smiled – which was rare on the Isle but somehow he found a way to always be grinning happily – how he'd jump from building to balcony doing flips in the air as she'd strut along the alleys and roads of the Isle. She remembered how brave he had been when they'd been in Auradon and that video chat when Cruella had suggested turning his dog into earmuffs. He'd stood up to her and been brave. She remembered when she saw him on TV at the cotillion looking so dashing in his suit and smiling next to Jane, who he'd taken to the dance. They had even broadcasted all the cotillion guests dancing in the water afterward, he'd done dance moves that put everyone else to shame – he always had.
Most of all, she remembered talking to him in the brig, she remembered a flutter of hope that maybe she could have her brother back in her life and tonight that seemed to be all her heart wanted.
"I knew I hurt you Cami I just didn't think I hurt you that much. That you even cared about me that much."
"Don't call me Cami." She muttered under her breath and looked at the floor.
"I'm sorry." She looked back up at him again, "You'll always be my sister and I'll always have your back." He smiled. "I didn't know what you were going through, I thought that you were fine, why did you have to hide?"
She leaned against the bars of the cell opposite him, "I didn't want to let you down but the truth is out. It was tearing me apart, not listening to my heart. . .I really had to go."
"And I would never stop you."
"Even though we've changed?"
"Nothing has to change. You can find me in the space between, where two worlds come to meet. I'll never be out of reach. Cause you're apart of me so you can find me in the space between. You'll never be alone, no matter where you go, we can meet in the space between."
"Nothing can stay the same, it's growing pains."
"Be proud of all the scars, they make you who you are. I know you have to stay."
"But I'll never really leave you."
"Nothing has to change."
"Even though we've changed."
"Nothing has to change. You can find me in the space between, where two worlds come to meet. I'll never be out of reach. Cause you're apart of me so you can find me in the space between. You'll never be alone, no matter where you go, we can meet in the space between."
"There are no words left to say."
"I know you've gotta find your place."
"But this not the end."
"You're part of who I am."
"Even if we're worlds apart, you're still in my heart. It will always be, you and me."
"You can find me in the space between."
"No matter where you go."
"We can meet . . . in the space between."

She wanted Carlos beside her, she wasn't sure why but his presence would be the only thing that could comfort her now. She felt tears start to run down her face at how impossible that seemed. Her brother was in another place, somewhere she couldn't be but at the very least she was glad that where he was it was beautiful and he was happy.
"A million thoughts, in my head, how you let your heart keep listening." She sang as the words poured from her heart. "Up til now, I've walked the line. Nothing lost but something missing. I can't decide, what's wrong, what's right, which way should I go? If only I knew what my heart was telling me. Don't know what I'm feeling. Is this just a dream? Uh oh, yeah. I couldn't read the signs in front of me. You could, you found, who you were meant to be, uh oh. If only. . . If only. . . If only. . .
With every step, every word, with every hour, I am missing you. You became, someone new, someone brave, someone I, I have never been. I can't decide, what's wrong, what's right, which way should I go? If only I knew what my heart was telling me. Don't know what I'm feeling. Is this just a dream? Uh oh, yeah. I couldn't read the signs in front of me. You could, you found, who you were meant to be, uh oh. If only. . . Yeah.
Am I crazy? Maybe. You're in Heaven. Will you still be with me, one day, when the magic all runs out? If only I knew what my heart was telling me. Don't know what I'm feeling. Is this just a dream? Uh oh, yeah. I couldn't read the signs in front of me. You could, you found, who you were meant to be, uh oh. If only. . . yeah. . . if only. . . yeah. . . if only. . . yeah. . . if only. . . if only. . ."
