Everyone seems confused but doesn't care to stop her. "My family needs help,"

Alma was still dragging me with the slight smell of alcohol. I tried to pull my hand away but granny got a grip.

"Oh, alma we were looking for you," A group of people said swarming her causing her to let me go. A little kid grabbed my hand and hid me under the stairs.

"Thanks, Cabrón," I whisper looking throw the steps. The girl changes into Camilo and he smiles. "No problem,"

the small crowd tried to get alma to go up there and enjoy the rest of the party. "Come on alma we are about to cut the cake,"

one of the drunk men said leaning on the railing of the stairs dangerously close to us. "I'll be up there I just need to get something," She said with a fake smile.

Everyone went upstairs as she looked around. "I'm too old for this. I better break the news to the Ramirez's." She sighed and walked back upstairs.

"What news?" I ask moving out in the open. Camilo shugged and we walked into the kitchen, only finding my brother.

"Hi Y/N, Camilo," We wave and I sit on the counter. "Daniel do you know if mama or papa is talking to Alma?" He shrugged and opened a bottle of manzanita.

"No why?" I shrug and play with the ends of my shirt. "No real reason just asking,"

Camilo looks for something to eat and I listen to the loud music coming from Antiono's room. "Oh by the way Are you staying here or you coming home?"

Daniel asks leaning on the door frame. "Oh, I'm staying here since it's my day off tomorrow anyway," He smirks at me and nods his head.

"Bye you love birds," I face plant into my arms, and Camilo seemed to choke on something. "What did he say?" He asked wiping his face with a napkin.

"I don't even know," I lied smoothly. "Let's go up before people start leaving yeah?" Camilo asked holding out his hand to me.

"Sure let's go," I hop off the counter and grab his hand. He immediately turned into a little hedgehog.

"Oh so cute," I say petting his head. "Y/N it's still your best friend here," I hear him say walking onto my shoulder. "Yeah I know,"

I barely walk a few steps when I heard someone. "Y/N?" I turned around to see Miguel walking towards me.

Camilo gritted his teeth and lifted his quills up. "Oh, I see you have a hedgehog. Hey buddy," He lifted his hand to pet him but Camilo bit him.

"Ow He doesn't seem to like me much," He waved his finger in pain. "Sorry he's protective,"

He snuggles in my neck lightly tickling me. "Cute. Well, I wanted to ask you to meet me by the fountain at midnight so we could get to know each other,"

I played with my hands and I felt my cheeks heat up a bit. "Umm sure," Camilo looked at me and then at Miguel.

"It's a date. See you later," He happily walked away and I walked upstairs. Camilo jumped off my shoulders and changed back into himself.

"Are you really going to met up with him?" I nod my head and he scoffs. "What's wrong?" I ask finally reaching the top of the stairs.

"Well it just feels wrong that you are going on a date with this guy," He looks a bit annoyed. I sigh and cup his cheek making his face go red.

"Milo everything is fine, I'm just going to tell him I'm not interested," He leaned into my touch and held my other hand. "Promise?"

I nodded and brought him into a hug. We walked to his room and he lay on the bed. "Imma go change," I said grabbing my clothes from a bag next to his door. "Ok,"

He said lifting up his hand and giving me a thumbs up. I went to the bathroom and quickly changed into my pajamas and let my hair down.

"More aside Milo," I say putting my clothes back behind the door. "So bossy," He mumbled sitting up. I sat in the middle of the bed and put my hair up in a messy bun.

"Y/N can you massage my head?" He askes laying between my legs.

Camilo's P.O.V.
I looked up at her and smiled. "Fine but I'm also braiding your hair," She said playing with my hair.

I still didn't like that she is going out with Miguel. "Calm down Milo," She worked magic with her hands, Honestly I don't know how she does it.

"Do you plan to get married?" She askes out of nowhere. I shrug my shoulder and play with my hands since I had nothing else to do.

"Depends, if Abuela finds the right one no," She nods and massages my head. "What about you Mi Amor?" I feel her tense up and sigh.

"Pa wants me to get married and have a family but Mama wants me to be independent." She made another braid.

"I would like to find someone but I don't want to rush into marriage and find out it was a huge mistake," I tried to nod but she slapped my shoulder.

"No moving you're going to mess me up," I huffed and a small rat climbed on my bed. "Look Remy's back,"

He climbs onto my chest holding a piece of wood in his mouth. It was a painted stage that looked like a football field.

(Soccer for the Americans) "Y/N Look what he brought," I held the wood piece up and he pocked his head through.

"Where did he get it from?" Y/N asked looking at Remy pointing at the walls. "I'm not sure but this is amazing,"

Remy walked up to my face and pointed at the walks. "Yeah those are walls," I say slowly. "I think he's trying to tell us something,"

She said pushing me up. I groan and sit up with Remy in my hands.

"Do we have to follow him I wanna lay down," I say watching her grab one of my jackets. "Yes now come on, before I have to meet what's his face,"

I roll my eyes and place Remy on the floor. "Andale Remy," he ran as soon as we opened the door. "Damn he fast,"

I say jogging to keep up with him. "Look," Remy stops in front of a portrait. "What now?" Remy jumps and manages to nudge his nose on it.

"It's a door?" Y/N asked opening the door and going straight in. "Don't leave me Y/N" I jump in and close the door portrait thing.

We keep up with Remy in silence until we reached a door. "1, 2, 3, not it," Y/N said lifting her hands up. "Fine," I open the door and gasp. "Bruno?"
