Camilo and I ended up talking, until before the gifting event. Not much of talking more of just him annoying me and my extremely pointed tries at avoidance. At the gifting I tried staying towards the back after I found Abuela, Mami, and my sister. It was beautiful really the whole event. Mirabel walked Antonio down the aisle at his pleading request. Everything about the way the candle was held. To the way the door glowed when Antonio turned the nob.  

Once the room got opened everyone filed in. By the time we had made it to the room well our reactions are better heard then described. Mami looked around a large smile on her face, "Holy shit-" Ana and Maria copied her, "Holy shit-" Abuela smacked the back of their necks mumbling under her breath. She looked awe struck the one room could fit...only god knows how many of our home. Sofia was just blank for a few moments before a smile grew. 

I my self was just in a perfect state of silent what the fuck am I looking at. It was just so wonderful. You couldn't even see how far back it went.  A large tree stood in the center a stair way spinning up towards the top. Flowers and large leafy plants swallowed the room. Birds sorrowed and animal ran wild. Beautiful chaos. A smile crept onto my face, "Gorgeous...." I was shoved when everyone started to move out of the way.  I steadied my self the first time. 

Scoffing I yelped when I was shoved again.  People where moving shoving their way to the front. Trying to get a closer view at what ever was happening up near the front. I barely caught my self my face only inches from the ground. Pushing my self up I scoffed, "Bueno, eso va a dejar un hematoma. (Well that's gonna leave a bruise.)" 

Standing back up I brushed off my skirt. I walked out of the room, I stopped being interested after I realized I cut my hand on a rock. who has just natural forming rocks...the Madrigal's. They had a huge house. The peoples devoted respect and admiration. Even the sound of their name spoke waves through the community.  I shuffled into where I thought the kitchen would be looking for some form of a bandage.  The house as a whole was beautiful. It exploded with color and every corner had its own personality. And then the floor moved. 

I stopped when I felt a rumble under my feet, "What in the-" I was tripped up by what felt like a roll under my feet. My back hit the floor, the cold wood pressed against the small exposed area of my back. Standing up I cursed under my breath. My ears started to ring. The pain I knew so well crept back in slowly. Although I had them often it was uncommon to have a head ache this bad within a stretch of a few days let alone multiple in one day. I started to walk faster down the steps and towards at this point I was praying the front door. A soft voice stopped me in my tracks, "Are you okay dear?" 

Placing on the best smile I could I turned around, "Oh Señora Julieta I'm okay." I didn't want to be a bother and my headache seemed to only grow worse. I hadn't realized how close she was to me until she was already holding my hand. It wasn't bleeding terribly but it was still visible. She examined it a seldom look on her face, "Let me clean it up for you...wait ah I can make you something." My knees fell weak as I tried to hold my self up.

 I diverted my eyes from her. I stopped staring at my self in the reflection of a metal vase. My eyes looked hollow nothing back a bright white in their place. I snatched my hand back from her walking off quickly, "I'm sorry Señora but I must go, thank you for your time." I speed walked out of the home breaking out into a run once I got out side. Blood dripped from my hand as I ran. I didn't stop, I wasn't going to stop, I couldn't stop. By the time I had made it home the ribbon hand fallen out of my hair. I sat down on the steps tears welling in my eyes, "What in the hell did I just see?"
