Camilla point of view.
My tears couldn't stop falling, I sat silently at my parents' final resting place, my world felt like it was collapsing and everything had turned very dark after their departure.
Likewise with my stepbrother Logan, he just stared silently at the graves of my mother and father, who had left us in a very tragic car accident.
I kept crying until I was surprised because someone touched my shoulder.
“Camilla, everything will be okay, I want you to get over this.”
“But how can I? I'm still missing them, I never thought that they would leave us so quickly.”
“You are right, death is certain and unavoidable for everyone, you must be able to accept fate.”
I looked down, embarrassed, then he walked over to me and hugged me tightly. I could feel his warm body as if it were wrapped around my cold body.
Not only that, but I felt a calming warmth even though it was only for a moment because previously I knew my stepbrother was very distant to me, but now I can feel a little light from him which makes me feel so much better.
Then he gazed right into my eyes, giving me a sincere and warm gaze for the first time.
“Camilla, our parents' funeral has ended, how about we go home now, do you agree?”
I nod, and then he takes me to his car, he drives me into his father's mansion, it's a place with a million memories that I won't easily forget.
But along the way, I kept thinking that I should probably immediately pack my stuff and leave his mansion because I must be nothing there.
Logan's father Michael has passed away and so does my mom too. I don't feel fit to live in Michael's mansion, maybe I should leave immediately and return to my simple life, I'm also not really suited to living in luxury.
“Camilla, what are you thinking?”
“I-I'm just? I'm okay.”
“Don't think too much negatively, your mother must be sad if she sees her daughter continue to be gloomy like this.”
I nodded and we finally arrived at the mansion.
I went inside as usual, was silent for a moment, and the servants at the mansion couldn't stop expressing their deepest condolences to me for the death of my parents.
But I tried to forget that, I tried to tidy up and start to pack my things, I couldn't possibly continue to stay with Logan at his mansion and of course he wouldn't mind after I left.
I continued to tidy up all my things and pack, even though my body felt fragile. Suddenly, I was surprised because someone opened my door. I forgot to lock the door, and Logan came into my room and looked at me seriously.
“Camilla, what are you going to do with all your things? Do you want me to buy them all new?”
“N-no, that's not what I meant.”
“So what? What do you mean by doing all this?”
“I want to move, I would like to go back to my old life because I would rather not bother anyone, I'm just not here.”
He looked at me seriously and gritted his teeth, “Who dares to say that to you?”
“Nothing, it's simply that I don't feel comfortable living here, I don't deserve it.”
“Who said that?”
“It's okay, excuse me, I need to go now.”
I started walking out of my room carrying my suitcase, but suddenly Logan was in front of me and blocked my way.
“Did I tell you I was letting you out of my house?”
I shook my head and almost cried. I didn't expect that he wouldn't let me out of his life, even though I felt like I was just a burden on his life.
“I don't feel worthy of continuing to live with you here, I will only make things difficult for you.”
He looked at me deeply, I could see his green eyes continuing to try to break down my defenses.
“Camilla, stop thinking like that because you are very precious to me and I love you, even though I've always been cold to you, I apologize for that.”
“That's okay, it's not your fault.”
“Okay, I assume you have forgiven me, now I want you to calm down in your room and don't ever think about leaving me for a second, do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.”
He smiled and stroked my head, then he went out of my room.
I felt empty again as soon as Logan left my room, I felt like I needed constant love, I couldn't accept my mother's departure from this cruel world.
I looked at my cell phone and kept looking at Josh's photo. He was my boyfriend who I really loved, and I never thought he could be mine until this moment.
Then I decided to call him because I truly miss him and I require him at my darkest time.
I kept calling his number because I really required him, but I still got an unanswered call from him.
I started to feel panicked and frustrated, I kept asking where was Josh? Does he really care about me or not?
I'm frustrated because I kept calling his number, but I still got a response from him. I'm trying to relax and control my anxiety.
“Camilla?”
I was shocked and accidentally dropped my cell phone.
“Logan? What are you doing there?”
“What happened to you? Why do you look so frustrated like that?”
“Logan, I need space, I feel so tired with whatever happened to my life lately.”
“I see, but here I'm bringing dinner for you, I want you to eat it immediately.”
“I'm sorry, I lost my appetite.”
He came closer to me and closed the door. I could inhale the delicious food he had brought me, but my mouth felt stiff, and I couldn't eat. I felt very frustrated with everything that was happening.
“Come on, Camilla, you have to eat first, otherwise you will get sick and that really hurts me.”
“So what if I don't eat? I would rather not eat, go away, and you can let me.”
"I will never leave you alone because you are very valuable to me, stop making negative assumptions about me, I'm not that bad, I do care a lot about you Camilla.”
