The exchange 2 (camren) English Version

Chapter 76

"Walk forward and see how long you will survive without the one that makes you feel alive."

Camila's POV

I'm a failure.

"Everything is my fault..." he said and I breathed deeply "I should never have taken this vacation, how could I be so irresponsible?"

"Calm down Julián, I'm going back to Miami right now. I'll be there in the morning."

And this time there is nothing that can convince me not to return.

I stretched to reach for the empty suitcase I had placed over the closet, with my hands shaking and my heart beating with anguish I folded some shirt before putting everything in my luggage.

In less than ten minutes I had taken all my things and put them in front of the door.

I climbed again until I returned to the place where Lauren was. For a second, while I saw her asleep, the problems seemed to diminish considerably. I sat quietly beside her, reaching out to touch her hair. My eyes fell tender on hrr face, while I felt my eyes fill with tears.

"My love..." I whispered "I am sorry for this, but I'm running the risk of losing the clinic because of my irresponsibility, I couldn't stand the same thing happening with the two of us at some time..." a tear ran down my face "I will never forget these days, they were just magical. But I don't think I'm capable of being able to carry a love and a job at the same time. And I can't get you into this and ruin your life. Letting you be the best I can do for you..." I took my hand off her face "if it has to be, fate will unite us again, if I don't have the certainty that, despite everything, it wasn't written that we were going to have a happy forever..."

I watched her for a few more seconds, before leaving the place. I took my things and left for the cold and empty night.

When I closed the door I didn't look back.

Not even once.

Lauren's POV

The brightness of the day came through the cracks in the curtains. The heat of the sun against my face made me wake up, even when the air around me was a little cold. I extended my arm, looking for Camila's body, to warm her up.

I found an empty space

I opened my eyes slowly, while yawning and trying to overcome the laziness of the morning.

"Camila?" I called

Silence.

I got up, bristling with the cold atmosphere. The bathroom door was open, showing me that she wasn't there. I went down, seeing the room empty and still dark. I entered the kitchen and I didn't find her either. I thought about the possibility that she got up early and had to go get coffee where Nana.

It didn't take me two seconds to think of a second possibility and run back upstairs ... seeing the room she was in, completely empty.

I felt my legs tremble and the strength dissipate from my body. I fell on the mattress, suffering the painful and silent impact when I realized that she was gone.

My head was spinning and I felt my throat close. My eyes were burning and the tears were already falling in a silent gesture of solidarity to what my heart felt.

I couldn't find a reason for her departure, there was not even a note, nothing.

Absolutely nothing that proved to me that all this was really happening.

It had been so long since I cried like I do now. The crying was the consequence of all the pain, my body trembled and I didn't know what to do to stop myself...
