Doomed (Bruno Madrigal x Reader)

Chapter 17

-Y/N POV-

It's been a few days since the awkward dinner at the Madrigals. Everything in town seemed fine. I saw Julieta out at her stand everyday. 

I decided to stay away for a while to let things cool off at their home and just so I could talk to others in town.

No one else seemed as interesting or fun as Julieta but they were nice. I decided today I'd go visit them again.

As I made it up to the house I heard chatting inside. I opened the door slowly. Mariano and Isabela were talking. I came in quietly and scooted to a corner out of view to listen.

"No I don't want to have a wedding right away." Isabela said angrily. "Why not? We're engaged.." Mariano said awkwardly and slightly confused.

"So? We can wait. See if it works out. Right now I don't think it will." Isabela said angrily. White flowers grew on her head. "I've never seen her grow white flowers.." I said quietly shocked.

Isabela plucked the flowers off her head and walked out. "Isabela!" Mariano said as she walked out and slammed the door. Once she was outside he sighed and walked off.

I rolled my eyes at his action and watched as Mirabel rushed outside after her sister. She gave Marion a look as she ran past him. She saw me and and I gave her a thumbs up. She smiled a little and went out.

I came out of my spot and headed to the kitchen to find Julieta. She was by the stove and turning something over. I walked inside and took in the smell. "Hey Julieta." I said startling the woman as she turned around.

"Hello Y/N." Julieta greeted me happily. She walked past me to grab something. "Are Isabela and Mariano doing okay? I saw them arguing.." I asked awkwardly as I leaned on the wall.

"I'm afraid not.. they may act okay infront of us
but I see past it. I don't think they are really meant for each other.. but it's Isabela decision. I just hope Abuela doesn't punish her if she leaves him." Julieta sighed and got back to making the meal.

"It seems Dolores and Isabela are having a fight to." Julieta sighed. "Everything's so stressful. Abuela is being hard on all my girls.. it's stressing me out more. I'm worried she'll push Mirabel too much with the no gift thing." Julieta said turning to me. 

"I know you don't get to see it everyday. But I do. And I know my mamá is harsh on them." Julieta patted my shoulder.

"Sorry about the dinner and her rushing you out.. it was very umm.. tension filled that night and thanks for helping Luisa. It seems she likes you a lot now." She smiled and giggled.

"That's great to hear.. I'm glad some of you like me." I laugh and wrap my arm around Julieta's shoulder. 

"I don't know what I'd do without a friend like you Y/N." She laid her hand on my shoulder. "Be lame." I joked and she let out a laugh. "I guess so." She agreed jokingly.

After a while we were both chatting and fixing up food. A wild blue flower popped up on the counter. "Huh..?" I exclaimed shocked. Julieta looked over. "Oh my!" She yelped as another one grew between her feet. She stepped back and looked out of the kitchen. I followed suite and looked out.

Mirabel and Isabela were running around inside. Wild flowers and vines grew all around. Me and Julieta watched with wide eyes as they did.

I smiled slightly as Isabel threw down random colored and stained her dress blue and green. Abuela walked in angrily.

"What is the meaning of all this!" She yelled and the two stopped. They looked at her with wide eyes. I looked at Abuela and gulped.

"Why are you acting like this? Your future husband can you see acting a fool." Abuela said angrily at Isabel. Mirabel glared at her. "Abuela-" Isabela said but was cut off by Abuela. "No! And you Mirabel. I don't know why you keep acting out! I understand you weren't given a gift but it's no excuse to act like this." Abuela yelled at Mirabel. Mirabel looked away.
