(Y/N) lost her family in a raid at her home village at the age of 4. While running away, she came upon, Casita, the house of the Madrigals. She is accepted in the family. But at her gift ceremony, something different happened. Instead of Mirabel, (Y...
Mirabel and (Y/N) are in the kitchen as Julieta is making arepas to heal Mirabel's hand. "If it was all in my head, how did I cut my hand?", Mirabel asks. "Yeah, she would never ruin Antonio's night. Is that really what you think of her, Julieta?", (Y/N) asks. "What I think is that today was very hard for both of you.", Julieta says. "That's ...", Mirabel grunts, "I was looking out for the family. And I might not be super strong like Luisa, or effortlessly perfect like señorita perfecta Isabella who's never even had a bad hair day, but ... whatever...", she sighs sadly. Julieta takes her daughter's injured hand as the tiles moves two arepas next to her. Mirabel and (Y/N) hold their hand. "I wish you two could see yourself the way I do.", Julieta places the arepas into their hands and the girls take a bite, "You two are perfect, just like this. You're just as special as anyone else in this family." The cut on Mirabel's hand disappears.

"Mh-hmm. You just healed her hand with an arepa con queso.", (Y/N) points out. "I healed her hand with my love for my daughter ..." Mirabel groans. "... with their wonderful brain ..." "Stop!" Mirabel says. "... big heart, cool glasses ..." "Mamá!" Julieta kisses Mirabel's cheek. "Ay, te amo, cosa linda." Mirabel pulls away from her. "I know what I saw. I'm happy that (Y/N) believes me. Why don't you?" "Mira, (Y/N/N), my brother Bruno lost his way in this family. I don't want the same for both of you. Get some sleep. You'll feel better tomorrow.", Julieta says. "Bruno didn't lost his way. He left because of Alma. When he introduces himself to me ten years ago, I felt that he was feeling unaccepted and misunderstood. As long as Alma is acting like that, Casita will break one day.", (Y/N) declares. She takes Mirabel's hand and together they go to their rooms.
In the middle of the night
Mirabel lays awake in her bed. She can't sleep thinking about the cracks. She gets up and opens her looking at the candle. She tip-toes on the roof then climbs up the roof towards the window where the candle is. She inspects the walls around it to see no cracks till she hears footsteps. She hides on the side seeing that is Alma who looked at her locket with Pedro's portrait.
"Ay, Pedro ... I need you. Cracks in our Casita ... If our family knew how vulnerable we truly are ... If our miracle is dying ... We cannot lose our home again. Why is this happening? Open my eyes. If the answer is here, help me find it. Help my protect our family. Help me save ... our miracle.", she begs then kisses her locket before walking away. Mirabel looks at the candle with determination. "I will save the miracle." She climbs back down and goes back to her room.
Camilo wakes up and gets up about to get a midnight snack. As he opens his door, he sees (Y/N)'s door open too. He pulls it to him so he peaks at (Y/N). (Y/N) walks around the house in her nightgown, arms around herself.
I'm caught up in your expectations You're trying to make me live your dream But I'm causing you so much frustration And you only want the best for me
You wanted me to show more interest To always keep a big bright smile Be that pinky little perfect princess But I'm not that type of child
And this storm is rising inside of me Don't you feel that our whole worlds collide? It's getting harder to breathe It hurts deep inside
Just let me be Who I am It's what you really need to understand And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
And it's torturing me But I can't break free So I cry and cry but just won't get it out The silent scream
As (Y/N) walks down the stairs, Camilo slowly comes out and watches her from the balcony.
Tell me why you're putting pressure on me And everyday you cause me harm That's the reason why I feel so lonely Even though you hold me in your arms
Wanna put me in a box of glitter But I'm just trying to get right out And now you're feeling so so bitter Because I've let you down
And this storm is rising inside of me Don't you feel that our whole worlds collide? It's getting harder to breathe It hurts deep inside
Just let me be Who I am It's what you really need to understand And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
And it's torturing me But I can't break free So I cry and cry but just won't get it out The silent scream
Can't you see how I cry for help 'Cause you should love me just for being myself I'll drown in an ocean Of pain and emotion If you don't save me right away
(Y/N) slowly climbs the other stairs.
Just let me be Who I am It's what you really need to understand And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
And it's torturing me But I can't break free So I cry and cry but just won't get it out The silent scream
Once there, she sets her arms on the railing looking at the moon.
My silent scream
Feeling pity for her, Camilo comes behind her and wraps his arms around her waist. (Y/N) jumps a bit looking at Camilo over her shoulder. He lays his head on her shoulder as she lays her arms over his. Together they look at the moon, not saying anything.
After the great success of my first, I'm giving you to first 8 chapters of this book. It took me two days to write them.
