How did I get here?| Camilo X Reader

Chapter Three-The Cracks

I watched closely as one of the roof tiles fell to the ground, Mirabel picked it up, looking at it very closely and sliding her hand causing it to cut herself.

'Just like in the movie. Now I bet the cracks are going to begin'

Then, cracks started taking over the walls, the doors were flickering, and the candle was almost going out.

'And now she's going to go tell everyone about the cracks'

She hurried to Antonio's door and was about to turn the knob, when she spotted me hiding behind one of the plants.

'NO MIRABEL NOW IS NOT THE TIME!'

"Y/n! Do you realize what's happening right now?! We have to tell Abuela before everything becomes worse!" She grabbed my wrist and dragged me inside Antonio's room. Then she started saying, "the house is in danger!"

When we got close to her Abuela she started telling everything that she saw back there. Abuela Alma then said, "show me."

We all went downstairs, Mirabel still dragging me.

"What? I don't understand. The cracks were there, they were...everywhere" she looked at me and then looked back at Abuela, "Abuela...I promise-"

"That's enough." She snapped, raising her hand.

She turned to the people and exclaimed, "there is nothing wrong with La Casa Madrigal! The magic is strong! And so are the drinks."

Everyone laughed at her joke.

"Please, music! A bailar!"

Then the music started again and everything went back to how it was.

I turned to Mirabel, "why didn't you tell her that I saw them too?"

"Because it looked like you didn't want to be involved," she answered with a shrug.

'Wow, she read my mind'

"Well, you should go and take care of that," I said pointing at the cut in her hand.

She smiled, "I will, thanks y/n!"

I saw her walking up the stairs to meet with her mom.

"Y/n!" I heard a, kind of, familiar voice say from behind me. I turned around, and flinched when I saw that it was Camilo.

'Wait. The first important scene already happened so I don't think I should worry right now'

"Hi Camilo!" I smiled.

"Are you okay? Did something happen to you?" He worried.

"Yeah! I'm totally fine! You don't need to worry!"

'You DO need to worry'

He sighed with relief, "that's good"

I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, by the way, what was Mirabel saying? The magic is dying?" He asked.

"Pretty much."

"So that's why I couldn't shapeshift when one of the kids asked me to..." he frowned, "we should figure out what's happening to the magic!"

"Ehhh... no."

"What? Why?"

'Because that's what Mirabel is supposed to do dumbass'

"Because, it is not my place to interfere with the magic of your family," I answered instead.

"You have a point," he said, "but just because we are not saving the magic doesn't mean that we will be spending less time with each other."

I smiled and patted his shoulder, "we'll see about that, pretty boy."

And with that I left to go to Antonio's room.

'WHAT WAS THAT?! 'Pretty boy'?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME???'

Someone grabbed my arm and dragged me. Again.

'What is wrong with people dragging me everywhere?'

I looked at the person who was holding my arm, it was Mirabel.

"Is there something wro-"

"I need your help to save the magic!" She cut me off.

"W-what?! MY help?!"

'Why do I keep getting dragged into the same topic'

"Yes! You're the only one that actually saw the cracks!"

"No. I can't help you! Listen Mirabel, you're the only one that can actually save the magic." I put both of my hands on her shoulders.

"But please! You're the only one that believes me!"

I thought about it for a moment.

'She's really desperate for me to help her...and I don't want to let her down, but she's the one that has to save the magic...Oh! I have an idea! I can go with her, but I'm not going to do anything, like I'm not going to go with her to Bruno's hideout or Isabela's room.'

I sighed and smiled, "okay fine."

She started jumping and clapping her hands, "yayyyy!!! Thank you so much y/n!"

'I kinda feel bad for her, she looks so excited to see that someone does believe her'

"You should stay the night here!"

My eyes widened.

"What?!"
