Bruno on the other hand, not knowing very well the situation of the two, was exulting, at least until he saw your worried face and the dark cloud around Mirabel.
"ah I knew it was too easy" he said putting his hands in his hair.
You approached Mirabel, you knew how much Isabella could be .... Irritating, but either this or the magic would die, even if it seemed too easy to solve.
But you didn't know why you had that feeling, just a hunch.
you went out of the room, many of the family had gone into the village, and the only ones present in the Casita were Luisa, Isabella, Mirabel's parents and .... Camilo.
At the thought you got sad, you just wanted to go back as before, but it wasn't that easy.
'especially if you avoid him like the plague' you thought, laughing slightly, you had decided, when Mirabel would go to Isabella's, you would go look for Camilo, or in general to clarify with the family.
You didn't notice, but Mirabel and Bruno had crouched down, spying on the flower girl's room, and immediately you crouched down next to them.
"okay so now Mirabel you go, hug your sister and poof, you save the magic" his Tio Bruno said quickly, making Mirabel's head turning towards us 2.
"woah woah in what-don't you two come with me?" asked the girl with the glasses confused.
"Mirabel you are the one who need to hug Isabella, and Bruno and I are not in a situation that we can be seen" you said smiling at her understanding.
You would have liked to go with her, but you couldn't, and at that moment you had another priority on your mind.
--------------
“Good luck!” You said to Mirabel before she entered the room.
Bruno had already gone inside Casita's tunnels and now you were the only one left, your eyes immediately ran to Camilo's door.
But you didn't move, even if you you wanted so much to get close to that room and hug the boy, you missed him, maybe even more than you expected.
But you got an heart attack when a scream invaded the space around you.
"MIRABEEEEEL"
'okay I'm not getting 30 at this point' you thought as you leaned on the handrail and looked at Casita's first floor.
The one screaming was Camilo.
'my usual luck I should say' you thought observing it hidden.
"MIRAB-eeel... MIraBeLl" what? His head had turned into a child's like before at dinner.
Something was wrong, it's not normal that he can't control his Miracle, you immediately looked at her door ... And it was flashing like Luisa's.
You and Mirabel didn't have much time, you just hoped your friend would be able to hug Isabella.
You silently tried to walk away but obviously you had to hit your side against a corner of a drawer.
'who the hell puts a bedside table in the hall' you thought, gritting you're teeth at the stinging pain.
"Mirabel?"
'fuck' you thought hiding behind a nearby plant again.
Camilo had heard the noise and now he was facing you, even if you didn't see him you hoped he cloudnt see you, not to mention that his baby voice doesn't help you to stay serious.
All your previous confidence was gone and now you just wanted to vanish into the air.
Even if it really wasn't what you wanted, you turned just a little to see Camilo return his head and keep looking around, until he looked back in your direction, you doubted he could see you, but you still hid again.
A little silence invaded the air as you could hear your breaths and your heart beating.
"y / n?" okay now your heart stopped, how did he know it was you, maybe it was just an attempt to see if you would answer no? You remained silence.
"y / n I know it's you, I see your skirt / pants sticking out of the pot" the Madrigal said with a sigh.
'WHAT? - 'you yelled internally checking, and actually he was right, you were hiding but on one side you could see your feet in sight.
'fuck' you thought as you slammed your hand in your face, it all had to happen to you.
With a resigned sigh, you got to your feet, cleaning from a bit of dirt that ended up on you before looking down and catching Camilo's gaze.
But it didn't take you long to break eye contact, you crossed your arms and squeezed your hands, all you wanted was to avoid this situation but of course it wasn't possible now.
And obviously another uncomfortable silence invaded the room.
god how much you wanted to disappear at that moment, all you could do was look at an indefinite point next to you, until you felt something lightly touch your arm.
You saw how Casita had caught your attention and was pointing at Camilo, she was tired too of this embarrassing situation, you didn't even have time to think that the floor was carrying you near the stairs.
"CASITA WHAT ARE YOU- AAAAH OFH-" you yelled as you clung with all your strength to the handrail.
But you could see how she was doing the same thing with Camilo, and he was fighting Casita too while trying to change shape and escape from the floor.
"OK, CASITA NOW WE WILL TALK BUT STOP WOAH-" immediately the floor stopped under your feet, and arrived in front of the stairs while Camilo was at the bottom of them looking at you worried.
You gave and angry look to Casita before sighing again.
"y / n I-"
"Camilo I-"
You talked together and spoke to each other, perfect, the conversation couldn't have started any worse than that.
But you wanted to hear what Camilo had to say.
"tell me Camilo" you said finally meeting his gaze, a sense of peace invaded you, you wanted to go back to being able to look at those eyes without seeing them red from tears, because it was a painful sight for you to watch.
You patiently waited for the boy to speak, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a lot of cactus appeared all around you.
"what the hell?!"
you two said in unison looking at eachother confused until Mirabel and Isabella emerged from the flower girl's room as they rode a vine.
"MIRABEL? WHAT WAHHH" you didn't have time to ask or say anything that you felt the ground fail under your feet, Isabella had just rolled a vine around your hips and was taking you to the roof with them.
You immediately looked at Camilo.
'GOD WHY IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO TALK TO SOMEONE WITHOUT BEING INTERRUPTED' you thought by now resigned.
Since now your chance to talk with Camilo was missed, you might as well follow the current of the two Madrigals, right?
So you tried to relax a bit and with them you started jumping among the cactus, you didn't know Isabella so much but for the first time she seemed really happy.
On the other hand Camilo had observed, he was sad enough to have finally missed the opportunity to apologize, but seeing you smile made him calm, but he wanted you to laugh with him as before.
He missed you.
-----------------------------
Exhausted you all lay down on the roof, you danced until you lost your breaths and you had some thorns on you but you had a lot of fun, like Isabella and Mirabel.
But it all ended when a voice interrupted the moment.
Abuela was back.
"Mirabel!"
Immediately Isabella created vines for us to go down with, but you knew that the situation would not end well just looking at abuelas face, on the other hand Mirabel seemed to be in heaven.
As soon as she landed Mirabel gave a radiant smile.
"Abuela we finally saved the magic not-"
"MIRABEL YOU HAVE TI STOP"
'what' did you think with your eyes open.
"what...?" Mirabel whispered as you watched all her enthusiasm disappear, Abuela on the other hand looked like she was about to explode.
"I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DID NOT RECEIVE A GIFT BUT IT'S NOT A GOOD EXCUSE TO DESTROY THIS FAMILY"
You couldn't believe it, you finally found a way to help and this was the thanks that Mirabel received?
You were ready to step in when Mirabel started talking again.
"I ... I will never be enough for you ... Right?" his eyes showed only pain.
"No matter how hard I try ... How much we all try, it will never be enough for you" now the anger and regret of the past years were coming alive and you could see it.
"Isabella will never be perfect enough, Luisa will never be strong enough, Bruno is gone because of you-"
"BRUNO DID NOT CARE ABOUT THIS FAMILY"
You gasped.
how does she say such a thing about her son, how does she even remotely think it, you wanted to intervene, but it was something Mirabel had to do herself.
"BRUNO LOVED THIS FAMILY, I LOVE THIS FAMILY, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DOESN'T CARE-"
You didn't notice, but more cracks were starting to form on the walls.
"DO NOT DARE-"
"THE MIRACLE IS DYING BECAUSE OF YOU" finally all that Mirabel had wanted to say was said, Abuela's face immediately calmed down turning into confusion and sadness.
But that moment didn't last long when a giant crack formed between Mirabel and Abuela.
"LOOK" Pepa yelled pointing at the candle that had now fallen and risked extinguishing.
You didn't notice but all the family was there.
Immediately you turned to Camilo, and you both nodded, you had to save the miracle, so you ran with Mirabel.
"CASITA-" you yelled
"GET US UP THERE" Mirabel finished the sentence for you, immediately the handrail came off and then formed a ladder.
You started to climb and you could also see Isabella and Camilo trying to reach the candle.
But Isabella fell when her door stopped glowing and her vine disappeared.
'oh no so also ...' you turned in time to see Camilo change various shapes and run down the corridor ready to jump.
"CAMILO WAIT YOUR MIRACLE-" you tried to warn him only to see him jump with the shape of one of the people of the village, but just when he was about to get to the roof he returned to his original form and started to fall.
"CASITA SAVE CAMILO" you yelled and then you saw some beams cushion the boy's fall and making him land on the floor.
'thank you casita'
You let out a sigh of relief before continuing to climb up behind Mirabel.
You ignored the calls of people telling you two to come back, but you saw how Casita pushed all of them out with waves of the floor, you turned to look at them for a second to see Camilo try to fight the floor and call you and Mirabel.
"Y/N, MIRABEL PLEASE-"
he was crying.
You didn't say anything, but you smiled at him before he was thrown out of the house with everyone else.
