I stared at the wedding invite in my hands. Camilo Madrigal was marrying my best friend, Rosa Rivera. Tears dropped onto the paper before i ripped it apart. Camilo has always been the boy i loved and we did date when we were 15 up until we were 18, we were now 20.

I was heartbroken, i never got over our relationship and i'll continue loving him. Memories of us started flooding through my mind.

"Y/N, HERE!" 15 year old Camilo handed me a paper ring and placed in on my ring finger. I chuckled. "Whats this for?" I asked with a laugh. "Y/n L/n, I promise that when we are 20 years old, i will get on one knee and propose to you" he whispered.

I smiled softly and cupped his freckled cheeks. "You, Camilo Madrigal, are so adorable" I replied, kissing his nose. "After we get married..can we have two kids?" He questioned and i smiled brighter. "Whatever you want, Chameleon" i teased.

I started sobbing and pulled out a box with just mine and Camilo's memories. There were things from first dates, the paper ring he had given me, a white rose he forced Isabela to make for me and many pictures of us. My lip trembled as i picked up my favourite picture of us, which was taken without us knowing.

It was Camilo and i in the kitchen, he was holding me close and we were dancing. Both of us had smiles on our faces and I couldn't help but graze my thumb over the boys face. I wiped my tears and shoved the stuff back into the box as i heard someone knock on my bedroom door.

"Come in" i called out and Dolores walked in with a look of sympathy. She sat next to me and immediately pulled me into her arms and i broke down, clinging onto her. "He promised.." i cried and i felt her rest her head on mine. "I know, i know" i heard her sniffle and hold me tighter.

-TIME SKIP-

It was the day before Camilo and Rosa's wedding. I wasn't attending it because it hurt too much even thinking about it, it would make me feel worse watching it. I had many calls from Pepa, Dolores, Mirabel, Felix and most calls were from Camilo which really shocked me.

I was relaxing on my couch, stuffing all kinds of sweet treats in my mouth while watching sad romances on tv. I heard a knock at me door, groaning, i got up to answer it. Camilo stood there, a yellow ruana on, just like he always used to wear. I tensed up as he smiled lightly at me.

"Hey.." he whispered and i stared at him. "What are you doing here?" I questioned rudely and he was slightly taken back from that. "Umm..Mami told me that you're not coming to the wedding tomorrow, i-is that true?" He asked and i nodded without hesitation

"Why?" He asked. Is this man stupid?!

"Because its hard for me Camilo..do you know how hard it would be to see you getting married?" I said as i started to tear up again. He looked down in guilt. "I just..don't wanna ruin your wedding okay? You love Rosa and...you're happy with her. As long as you're happy, i'm happy" i sniffled.

I pulled out the small paper ring from my pocket and gave it to Camilo with a shaking hand. "Give this too Rosa as a joke, i know how much you love pranking people" Camilo looked down at the paper ring, the exact one he had given me when we were 15. He looked back up at me with tears on his face.

"I'm so proud of you Camilo, and just remember i'll always love you..." I whispered and gave him one last hug. I felt him grip my waist and I pulled him closer and tears dripped down my chin. This would be the last hug ever...before Camilo Madrigal would never be my shapeshifter again.

"I'm so sorry Y/n" he choked up, looking at me. "Don't be sorry about your feelings, Cami" he looked at me, eyes filled with sadness. It looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't. "You must go, Rosa will be waiting for you" i said.

I didn't give Camilo a chance to say anything else, i closed the door on him and when he was definitely gone, i sobbed and fell to the floor.

He was gone for good...
