"May I ask what happened?"

"Well you see I had a brother and he took in this adorable little girl and one day they just disappeared, they were never seen again" Julieta says sadly

"I'm sorry" I frown "That's horrible" I force, that's not why we left and they know damn well. I look at the family tree and smile slightly. Bruno I don't mean it, I say in my head.

"It's alright, we just thought he was happy, I guess not" she puts her hand on my shoulder. You guess right. I help unload the rest and I follow Mirabel out, her mood seems to have dropped. Are they really this upset about me and Bruno?

"I'm sorry" I say and Mirabel looks at me confused "I shouldn't never asked"

"It's alright, I just have a lot of questions I never had answered" she says and I nod

"I get that" She smiles and starts talking about sewing. I'm walking around when someone runs around the corner and slams into me. I land on the ground hard and look above me. A boy with perfectly curled hair, beautiful green eyes, a wide nose and lips and freckles along his nose and cheeks hovers above me. His hands on either side of my head. His cheeks blaze and he stares at me
"Camilo" Mirabel says and pulls him off me, she then helps me up and I dust myself off. He's about two inch's taller than me. He's cute.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking" Camilo stammer and I smile

"It's alright" I say

"Are you okay, is your head?" He asks walking over to me, he gently touches my head
"Yeah, I didn't hit the floor that hard" I say and he nods
"I'm so sorry" he shifts into me and himself and me and him and stays himself.
"Don't sweat it" I say and Mirabel rolls her eyes at her cousin. She links arms with me and I smile at him "See you around" and Mirabel leads me away from him.

"He's so weird," she mutters and I giggle. She leads me to her room and I sit on her chair "So tell me about your family" she says and I smile "Well I just moved here with my dad"

"Oh?"
"Yeah my mom left when I was little" Technically not a lie, she did leave me

"Oh I'm sorry"
"It's alright my Dad's the only one I need" she smiles
"That's sweet"

"Yeah, he's not big on people, very focused on work" I say, that's a little lie, and she nods
"I get that, everyone in this house has chores and since I don't have a gift I don't have chores which is good don't get me wrong but they're all too busy for me" She says

"Ah, I'm sorry"

"It's okay"

"It must be hard not having a gift"

"Yeah, it is. Sometimes I feel like I'm invisible" She laughs but I can see the tear in her eyes "or that I'm just not important" she wipes her eyes harshly. I hug her and she buries her head in my shoulder.

"It's okay" I murmur and rub her back. She pulls away and laughs

"Whoa, sorry about that. That doesn't normally happen" she wipes her face and I smile softly

"Don't be sorry, we need to cry sometimes, it's completely normal" I say and she nods

"Well I have to get going, tell the kids about the family and what not. You'll be okay to hangout here?"

"Yeah, don't worry about me" I say and she runs out the door. I wander around when someone grabs my arm and pulls me into a room. I turn and see Dolores her eyes are wide and she has a hand on each shoulder

"Y/n?" She asks and I smile nervously. Her room is a giant library with a couch and a queen bed with curtains. She pulls me into a hug and I hug her back "it's been so long, how have you been. How's Tio Bruno?"

Hopefully y'all like it so far! Right now I'm trying to come up with some sort of plot
