Atlas ~ Encanto Fanfiction

21

We all gathered in the middle of the house to practice, Mirabel adjusted a few things on each of our outfits but to our surprise Luisa interrupted our second practice by telling us the stage was set up. Dolores, took the twins with her as she left. Camilo left to go see Grace and Katrina. And the others left to joint eh crowd. I turned to Antonio and he says softly, "awe don't tell me your nervous now?"

"I haven;t don't this since I was little... Antonio... what if my reputation ruins peoples perception of the show..." I ask

He sighs and says, "Atlas you are so much more then your reputation... so what if they don't listen... I think you need to do this for you..."

I smile, and take his hand. We walk out to the village together.

When we made it the stage was all set upm with the flowers and all. I;t was set up in the village center so that after it;s over people could depart easily.

I laugh softly and I run over thanking Luisa and Isabella.

They complimented the dress and of course I told them it was made by their little sister. Then I went around to the rest of my family thanking them before returning to Antonio. The band got set up so all we had to do now was wait for sundown. I told my family that and we all just wander around the village exploring.

Antonio bought me some different snacks and gifts before we sat next to the river again. We were watching the clouds and splitting a small bag of churro's before Antonio asks, "I have a gut feeling that Camilo reading your journals wants;t the only thing that was bothering you..."

I sigh and say, "Antonio, we already talked about this... I don;t want to talk about it..."

He slips his hand underneath me before pulling me onto- of him, so that I wa sitting in his lap. I blush and say, "it's not fair... you get to just push adn pull me around..."

He laughs gently before tucking some of my hair behind my ear, saying, "Babe what's on your mind?"

"Hav eyou ever been inside Camilo's room?" I ask

"Once, when I was a kid... I got trappe Dan dconfused and so when I came out waili my parents banned me from going back into his room adn sicne then I haven;t gone back... why?" He says

"Just curious..." I reply before attempting to play with his hair. He grabs my wrist and says, "no. '

I laugh and kiss him. He rolls me under him before saying, "please Atlas... I just want to know if I can help..."

I put my hands on his cheeks before saying, "Antonio-"

But we were interrupted when we heard, "you saw the mirror didn't you?"

Camilo was standing there. Antonio quickly let me up and I stood before he says, "atlas..."

My cheeks flushed and I looked away. Camilo got a pained look and he says, "I- I'm so sorry...''

Then he says, "that's when you were acting so weird when you left..."

I swallowed hard before we heard Katrina. Grace ran over wanting Camilo to pick her up but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Not with the shame that was now pouring through him. He picked her up, handing her to Katrina before saying something to her and walking of. I went to run after him but Antonio grabbed my arm and said, "Atlas what is this about?! What mirror?"

I tried my best to yank away from Antonio before I cried, "let me go! Let me go talk to him! We can talk after..."

Katrina thought before she said, "are you two talking about the dream mirror?"

I nod and say, "he told me about the piece in your pendent..."

Kiatrina walks over and puts her hand on Antonio's arm, "let her go, and I'll explain..."

Antonio reluctantly let go of me and I ran offer Camilo. I found him leaning on a tree, rubbing his hands over where the scars are on his hand. I ran over and whimpered, "Camilo... please..."

He looks at me and says, ''why didn't you tell me? Or say something?"

"How would I start? Your my boyfriends brother, Camilo... it's kinda hard for me to admit what I saw..." I reply

Camilo rubs his face and I take a deep breath before saying, "Camilo you asking me that question is like the equivalent of me asking you why you didn't at least tell me you liked me..."

He sighs and says, "You,  Antonio, and I were pretty much best friends when we were all younger... and I never really thought about you like that until you turned nineteen... but there's a fifteen year age gap between us! Making me thirty four... Plus, I was already married to Katrina and Grace was three by that point... so I buried it.. and I thought I'd buried my emotions towards you deep into my mind but apparently not deep enough because when I saw that you and Antonio were dating, and then Dolores told me about you two... I don't know.. it just sparked a little flame of jealousy.. I would never do anything to take you a way from Antonio, you two clearly really love each other... and I dearly love Katrina and not get me wrong, but I do love you a little bit Atlas..."

My tears had lessened and now Camilo out his hand on my cheek, wiping my tears with his thumbs before I say softly, "i[m sorry..."

He chuckles before saying, "sorry for what? You don't need it be sorry for my feelings... I need it be sorry if anything..."

I say softly, "I'm sorry for this..."

Then I kissed Camilo.
