ISABELA

Julieta looked at her mother, furrowing her eyebrows. "Má," she tried to tell Alma to stop.

Alma shook her head and looked at you and Isabela. "I didn't say I'm not fond of same gender couple. I just want (Y/N) to stop embarassing this family," she sternly told.

Almost everyone on the dinner table gasped at Alma's words.

"(Y/N) is amazing and we all agreed on that, didn't we?" Mirabel stated, looking at everyone.

Alma held a palm up. "I'm not saying she's less amazing. I'm saying she needs to be the same level as Isabela."

Mirabel looked at Alma angrily. "No one needs to be as same level as anyone! Everyone can be whoever they wanna be!" she argued.

"Do not raise your voice at me, niño! Julieta! Control this child of yours!" she argued back.

"Má! She's disrespecting (Y/N)!" Mirabel tried to defend.

The other members continued to stay quiet, not knowing what to say anyway.

You let out a chuckle. "Guys, it's okay! I understand my place," you tried to end the conversation.

"No, you don't! Mamá," Mirabel looked at her mother, pleading.

"Guys-"

"(Y/N)," Isabela spoke suddenly, making the table goes quiet instantly. She held your hand and gripped it shakily inder the table. You looked back at her, examined her worried eyes. "Let's talk. Outside," she continued.

"Isa..." you muttered.

Isabela quickly pulled you from your seat and pushed you outside. You looked at Isabela as Isabela turned her back to you while crossing her arms.

"You... okay?" you asked.

Isabela turned to you angrily. "No, I'm not! You're embrassing me in front of Abuela!"

You flinched at her words. "I'm sorry about that, Isa. I'll try to be more... less messy," you said. "You know how much I tried."

"Well, maybe you didn't try hard enough!" she continued to yell.

You flinched again at her words. You approached her and turned her around. You gripped both of her hands in yours tightly. "Isa. Isa, please don't say anything you don't mean," you pleaded.

Isabela continued to furrowed her eyebrows angrily at you. "Abuela was right, all along! You've never ever tried! And all you do is- messing around and kept letting my reputation down! All you do is loitering around and be not helping! All you ever do messing everything up!"

"Isa-"

"I'm tired of you not caring what affects me and my family!"

"Can you just-"

"I'm tired of you always getting it easy!"

"Listen to me-"

"I'm tired of you always stop trying!"

"Isabela!" you finally snapped. Isabela was left stunned and heavily panting in front of you. You formed fists on both if your sides. "Are you... suggesting we... break up?" you said slowly, not believing those words really had left your mouth.

Isabela's eyes widened for a second but then it returned into angry. She looked down and crossed her arms. "Maybe I am," she growled. "We're just too different. It can never work out," she concluded.

You gulped. "Alright. We'll break up. Guess that saying isn't much of a true, eh?" you chuckled weakly.

"What saying?" Isabela questioned.

"'Opposites attract'?" you answered.

Isabela shrugged her shoulders. "Well, I guess that saying lies."

"Yeah..." you stared at Isabela continuously. "Guess I'll just... grab my bag. And never come here, again," you stated sadly.

You turned around and entered the house once more. It was not as lively as it's usually be; this time, it's as quiet as a rock. You formed a small smile at the family and grabbed your bag from your chair.

"Uh, it was really nice knowing you all. Especially you, Abuela," you looked around. You chuckled weakly. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Take care of Isabela for me," you requested before leaving the table once more.

"Wait! (Y/N)!" you heard Mirabel called but you didn't bother. Mirabel did not chase after you, either.

You were met with Isabela once more when you stepped out of the house. You hesitantly gave her shoulder a pat and nodded once. "Wish you a mery life without me," you said before walking away.

Isabela didn't say anything and stared at the ground longingly. You got the message and left her side, walking back towards your home.

That night, you didn't cry or mourn. While Isabela did.

Afterwards, every time you bumped into any members of Madrigals, you would excused yourself and left them without making any eye contact. They were saddened at the fact you had became uncheerful than you used to be. And that's not just it, they were saddened every time you didn't came into their Friday dinner date, too. Everyone wanted to see you smile again.

The most eye contact you've ever made was whenever it includes Isabela. Sure, you can still talk to the other Madrigals (except Abuela) but Isabela. Your heart would clenched dangerously whenever you saw Isabela, so you avoid to go out of the house except it was really necessary.

Isabela didn't do well, either. But, she didn't show. According to Abuela's words, she have to be perfect. But, being perfect made her losing sanity. She had long for your comfort, but you never greet her again nor make eye contacts with her. Her final words to you made she regretted every single thing.

Of course, the whole Madrigal family knows because of Dolores. And everyone are depressed by it; except Abuela since she basically cheered at your break up.

You tried to move on, too. Found a girl where she never judges you or talks bad about you. You felt your colour shined once more.

Isabela was not happy by the fact you had gotten a girl over a year of the both of yours break ups. In fact, it made her even more depressed. When she approached you, you said something she never thought you would say to her.

"Move on, Isabela. And always remember; opposites attract, not."
