It's been a couple of weeks since you met Isabela and the rest of the Madrigal. And everyday you would help your mom and go straight to the Madrigal's place to hang out with the family.

"Querida you are always at that house, when will I met this lover of yours?" Your mom asked with a slight chuckle.

"Mamá I've told you countless of times me and Isabela are just friends." You rolled your eyes.

"That's what I said about your papá then boom your here." You giggled a little at your mothers slightly sassy tone.

"Is there any other chore I need to do for you mamá?" You asked. "Not that I know of, But go on go see your future girlfriend tell her I say hello." Your mom smiled.

You nodded kissing her head. "Take care of yourself mamá Te quiero un montón." You said.

"I love you more." Your mom said softly as you left the house.

It's raining..? You thought as you walked closer to the house. As you got in you were immediately soaked in rain. "Y/n! Thank goodness you should talk to Camilo." Pepa said.

"Why? What's wrong with Camilo?" You asked as Felix dryed you off. "We don't know he just stopped talking to us, after breakfast he just locked himself in his room and isn't letting anyone talk to him." Felix explained.

You nodded making your way upstairs and to Camilo's door, taking a deep breath you knocked on his door.

"I told you guys to leave me alone." Camilo said from the other side of the door. "Cam? Hey it's me..can I come in?" You asked hoping he'll open the door.

It didn't take long before the door was swung open reveling a puffy eyed Camilo. "Oh.. Kiddo what's wrong?" You asked as he hugged you tightly burying his face into your dress.

You walked him inside his room and closed the door. Oh wow these are a lot of mirrors. You thought walking past them and sitting down on Camilo's bed a long with Camilo.

"Your family is worried about you dude.. what's wrong?" You asked him.

He looked up at you not saying a word. You noticed tears in his eyes and sniffles coming from the younger boy.

You opened your arms and he immediately jumped into your arms and started crying. You rubbed his back trying your best to calm him down.

A few minutes past by and Camilo let go of you. "You can speak when ever your ready hun." You said softly.

"I'm.. I'm having some issues, um identity issues." Camilo started before taking a deep breath before speaking again.

"I shapeshift so often I sometimes forget what I look like.. but when I see myself in all these mirrors I don't like what I see, I expect something different." Camilo said.

"Different how?" You asked. Camilo looked up at his ceiling. "I want to be more then just a boy different." Camilo looked at you.

"Ugh but I doubt you'd understand, no one ever seems to understand what I'm dealing with and if I told them I'd probably get ignorant responses and other crap." Camilo groaned hiding his face into his hands and falling back on his bed.

"When I first got my gift, Abuela use to always tell me 'Camilo a towns person needs you to be them for their kids', 'Camilo turn into her' 'Camilo turn into him' and was never 'Camilo be you'. Camilo renting on.

"It just became a habit to be anyone other then me it's just sorta natural that I don't recognize me at all." Camilo then looked at you and felt bad.

"I'm sorry.. I just never told anyone this ever, I'm sorry for talking too much." You shook your head. "Hey don't ever say sorry about your feelings got it?" You said sounding slightly aggressive at the end scaring the poor boy.

"Sorry heh but hey I completely understand your complaint, I use to be in that situation as well." Camilo sat up and looked at you.

"You have?" Camilo asked. "Oh yeah, growing up I was having some identity problems as well, I just had to find myself and to make sure I was sure of who I am is well who I am." You said.

"What did your family say when you told them?" Camilo asked. "We'll both of my parents were confused and had to get use to my pronouns but they got the hang of it."

"What are pronouns?" Camilo asked. "Something that you use to identify yourself." You explained.

Camilo stared at you with a confused look before he snapped out of whatever day dream he was in. "I HAVE PRONOUNS?!" He yelled. You couldn't help but laugh at his response.

"Yes mi Amigo you do indeed have pronouns." You said wiping away a tear from your face from laughing.

After you talked and helped Camilo with his problem he was back to his normal goofy self.

You left his room and was met with Dolores. You looked at her and felt fear run over you. "H-hola Dolores." You stuttered smiling awkwardly.

"Thank you." Dolores smiled hugging you. "Thank you for helping my little sibling out." She said.

You smiled hugging her back. "You're welcome." The both of you split ways and you looked around. "Um he's not fully ready to tell anyone yet so maybe keep this a secret..?" You asked.

Dolores nodded and you smiled walking away. You stayed for a while helping Julieta with dinner before you went home saying goodbye to everyone.
