Just the way you are

Chapter 33

Camila's view: "I won't watch this movie again!", I wiped my tears away. "You also don't need to!", Neymar gave a comment back. I nodded and took some water. This movie reminded me of my mum so bad! Not because the characters had cancer, no. Just....because of the sadness and the mood...I don't know. I missed her... In these days I was so happy because there are people around me who collected the pieces of my broken heart together. But everytime something reminded me of my mum...it seemed as if everything got broken again. And what about my father? Where is he? Didn't he know that I needed him? Will I ever see him? Although I hated him...I still wanted to see him.
"Cami?", I heard Ney waking me up from my thoughts. I turned around to face him. He looked a bit worried and leaned closer. "What are you thinking about?", he whispered.
"It's just....ah just forget it!", I gave back wanting to go to my room. I just wanted to be alone. My head hurt because of the worry and pressure. As I took a step to leave, Neymar suddenly held my arm, turned me around and pulled me to himself. "Look, I know there is something. It's the movie, right? Hey, it's just a movie!", he said and hugged me. His arms felt protective. I felt like a little girl next to him. He was so gentle and kind. I didn't know how I earned it. "No, it's.....just my mom..again.", I muttered under tears. I thought that I held my tears back and he wouldn't notice that I cried but I was wrong. "Hey, listen. First look at me!", he said. "No, Ney.." He didn't listen but just taking my wet face into his warm big hands. I couldn't help but looking into his eyes. "Don't cry! Your mom would not love to see you like that! Stop it, okay?", he whispered and wiped my tears away. "She wouldn't even recognize me, Ney. She left me. When she would be alive, she would be disappointed. I did a lot of mistakes in my life, Ney. Too many!" I could not hold my emotions back. My head was supported by his shoulders. He patched through my hair. I noticed that the others also saw us. As Rafaella regarded me, she came over and touched my cheeks. "Hey, baby! Don't cry! Your mom would be proud to have such a wonderful daughter like you. What you did before is not the only thing what counts!" I was still held by Ney. He kissed my head and faced me from the side. "We love you!", he smiled. "Yes, we do!", Gil and Jô added. "Oh guys. Thank you so much for everything!", I giggled under tears. But now not because of the sadness but because of happiness to have these people next to me. I heard Ney's heart beating very fast. I looked up to him: "Your heart..." He just smiled and whispered: "It's because of you!" With that he smiled and his cheeks went red. Although he tried to stay as the flirty macho, he still seemed to be the cute gentleman boy.. Maybe it sounds exaggerated but these people changed my life. They held me alive.
All...but especially Neymar Jr. Nobody would think that such a rich, famous soccer player would have so much personality, so much love and so much loyalty. Normally I thought that these rich people are ignorant and arrogant. But Ney was the true prove that it's not always that way...
