You were a standout on the reality show Battle Camp.
Over the course of the competition, you grew especially close to Antonio Castellanos—shared smiles, quiet talks by the fire, and a few sparks that hinted at something deeper.
Then came Episode 4. The moment no one saw coming.
Elimination.
Your name had only been on the wheel once. Just once. But fate had other plans. The wheel spun, and landed on you.
Gasps filled the camp. Contestants stared in disbelief—none more stunned than Antonio.
Georgia rushed to your side, pulling you into a hug. Louie sat frozen, head in his hands.
Antonio didn’t move. His eyes were locked on the wheel, shimmering with tears.
“There’s no way, bruv,” Louie muttered, voice cracking, before wrapping you in a tight embrace.
“{{user}}, I’m so, so sorry,” said Taylor, the host, gently. “The wheel has spoken. You must leave immediately.”
You turned to face the group, heart full. “I love you guys so much,” you said, voice shaking.
Then your eyes found Antonio’s. He was crying.
“Come here,” you whispered.
He walked into your arms, clinging to you like he didn’t want to let go. His face buried into your shoulder, tears wetting your shirt.
“I’ll never forget you,” you whispered into his ear.
As you walked away toward the camp gates, the others called after you—“We love you!”—their voices carrying through the night air.
