Taikas POV (omg new pov)

-

I rushed up the stairs and instantly turned to walk over to Camilos door.

I didn't realize it but his family seemed to be dealing forcing the relationship. I felt bad. Isabela told me the same thing happened to her. Seems like it's mostly Alma's fault. Hopefully they can figure it out, but the least i can do right now is comfort him.

I knock on his door lightly,

"Camilo!" I whisper shout, "You okay?"

"No." He responded coldly. I slowly twisted the door knob to see him sitting in his bed side with his head looking down and his arms resting and his legs.

"Camilo? Was it really that bad?" I ask.

"Yes," He spoke as i shut the door and just stood a bit away from him, "They kept telling me i had to marry. It felt so weird. I don't even know why."

I remember he told me his uncle, Bruno, showed him a vision of him marrying someone form Asombrosa. I guess the family got distracted.

"Im sorry dude, I don't have much experience with comforting, but i'll tell you this." I crouched down and looked at Camilo better, since his hair was covering his face. Camilo slightly moved his eyes to look at me,

"My madre always told me when time were rough to 'haz como un burro y engorda'."

Camilo laughed,

"'Do like a donkey and get fat?' What kind of comforting words are those?" He said as he got up while he laughed.

"I mean, it cheered you up didnt it?" Taika smiled as she looked up at him.

Camilo sighed,

"Pfft, i guess."

We sat in a comfortable silence as I looked around the room. So many mirrors.

"Yeah uh, by the way, what's with the pattern of mirrors everywhere?"

Camilo stayed silent as he leaned back and stared up at a mirror.

"Uh, im not sure. But i hate them. Always have to look at myself."

I raised a brow.

"Hm, well, we should go off to sleep." I said,  not wanting to dig, "See you tomorrow." I spoke as i stood up and opened the door. I looked back at Camilo still starting up at the mirror,

"Don't bother thinking about the whole situation, your family will probably apologize." I spoke and left.

I hope i at least cheered him up a bit. Sucks seeing your friends be sad.

Third POV-

Throughout the week different members apologized. Abuela apologizing last.

-

"Camilo," Abuela spoke coldly as Camilo turned to look at her as he was about to leave the kitchen,

"Listen mijo, i was just trying to help you. Help the Encanto. I never meant to-"

"What?"

Abuela paused as Camilo interrupted her. She opened her eyes and saw Camilo with a pissed face plastered on him.

"I-"

"What did you say?"

"I said that I was trying to help you-"

"By setting us up on forced dates?"

The room fell silent.

Thoughts. Thoughts bubbled up abuelas mind as she rethought what she said and realized she's still messing up.

"Yes- I was-"

"For the Encanto?" Camilo interrupted.

Abuelas eyes widened.

"I'm sorry mijo I-"

"Did you even care? If she actually loved me?"

"Well- No but i was thinking that-"

Camilo scoffed and walked away. He didn't want to hear it.

Shortly after Dolores came to comfort him. Then later in the day Camilo went out to get himself some food.

Camilo POV
-

I couldn't believe. In such a short amount of time so much had happened.

I tried to just think about other things. But the only thing that came to mind was Y/N. She became pretty distant. I think she hates me.

"Camilo!" I turn around. I thought i heard wrong until i fully turn and see Y/N.

"Hey!," She puffed out air as she flew towards me waving. All i did was stand in shock starring at her. "Why have you been avoiding me? Did uhm- something happen?"

I must admit, it was mostly my fault we got distant. I was afraid of doing something stupid.

"No- sorry i was just busy."

"Busy with what?"

"Uh-"

"Your food, sir." The waiter thankfully interrupted and i changed the subject.

"What have you been doing?"

Y/N looked at me, then smiled ever so softly. Her smile only gave me butterflies. I dont understand. Did i like her? (omfg u dam himbo-)

"I've been working on an art project."

That's right, she loves arts and stuff.

"A drawing of Encanto. I think this place is beautiful, so i decided to draw it." She spoke softly as her hair smoothly flowed with the wind.

"Interesting. Could I see it?" I asked.

"Oh, It's uhm not quite done. But i'll show you when it is!"

"Oh okay then- can i see the progress?"

Her face instantly brightened after i asked.

"Oh sure! It's still missing a lot of stuff though so..."

Magically a floating canvas was brought to her. Her ghost Ai revealed themself and flew around her.  Spiraling around her body.

She showed me the drawing, it was already really detailed, it was vibrant and in general really pretty.

"Wow, that's so good!"

"Pfft," she scoffed, "C'mon you don't have to be nice." She smiled looking at the drawing then Ai took it away. As she looked back at me then said-

"Oh, your serious?"

My eyebrows were raised as i just looked at her in confusion.

"Of course, why wouldn't i be?"

"Oh- well i dont know. I just thought it didn't look the best."

"Are you serious? The things not even finished and it's a work of art! I would buy for- at least a million dollars." She laughs and just looked down at the ground.

"Thanks- no one really other then Taika really looks at my art."

"Why?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe they just don't care much. They still say nice things when they see it but it doesn't feel.... real."

I frown and tilt my head,

"What? Ugh, well i thought it was amazing."

She smiled and looked away.

We sat in a silence for a bit until i spoke up,

"Hey uhm- do you wanna see something?" I asked as i looked at her. I think for the first time making eye contact.

"Sure!"

I quickly stood up and walked her to a special place.
