Waiting On A Miracle

Secret Brother

It's the next morning and Mirabel has been in her room all day. Camilo walks pass Mirabels room then hear a piano playing. He decides to listen then he knocks and walks in. Mirabel looks at him then looks away.

"What do you want?" Mirabel asks. "I heard a piano playing so I wantes to know what you were doing." Camilo closes the door and sits on the floor next to Mirabel.

"Just something I've been working on." Mirabel shruggs. "Ca-can i-i hear it?" Camilo asks stuttering. "Sure."

She starts playing the piano and takes a breathe.

Dying On The Inside
You should take this as a compliment
If I were you, I would be more confident
You're lucky that you're pretty
Why are you obsessed with your appearance
I don't wanna hear it, you're fine (camilo looks at her quickly)

It's been my best kept secret for a while now
No one ever sees it but it's all around
Its the dinner conversation no one talks about
Don't know how much longer I can keep this down

Beauty is a knife, I've been harmed by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
It's all a lie
Honestly it's eating me alive
They're all like did you change your hair?
Did you lose a bit of weight?
You should keep it up cause it really looks great
I hate that I
Always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside

I wish I could break the mirror
That makes me feel like I should fucking disappear
Drown my demons in a bathtub filled with tears
No matter what I try they always seem to come back to life

What if I didn't do this to my body?
What if I quit and then you don't want me (camilo looks at her speechless and sadly)
The dinner conversation no one talks about
Don't know how much longer i can keep this down

Beauty is a knife, I've been harmed by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
It's all a lie
Honestly it's eating me alive
They're all like did you change your hair?
Did you lose a little weight?
You should keep it up cause it really looks great
I hate that I
Always look my best

When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside

Mirabel finishes in tears and Camilo starts to cheer up.

"Have you not been eating?" Camilo asks. "I-i wanted to not you but I couldn't." Mirabel replies. "W-why?" Camilo asks.

"Because I knew if I gained weight then you wouldn't like me anymore." Mirabel looks down.

"You knew or you guessed?" Camilo asks.

"What's the difference?" Mirabel asks shrugging. "The difference is that your wrong." Camilo looks at her. "I love you for you amor." Camilo says. Mirabel smiles.

"And your beautiful okay now it's time for breakfast let's go." Camilo and Mirabel walk to the kitchen and sits down.

Everyone is eating until someone knocks on the door. Agustín gets up and opens it.

"Here is a letter from Carlos Madrigal." The mailman says. Everyone looks at each other. "Umm okay yeah I'll just take that." Augustìn says.

Takes it quickly and shuts the door and walks up to the table and sits next to Julieta.

"Who's Carlos?" Mirabel asks. "No one sweetheart right Augustìn?" Julieta akwardly smiles. "Y-yeah Carlos pff probably wrong letter." Augustìn replies.

"Give me the letter then." Mirabel orders. "Umm you don't really want it." Augustìn akwardly says. "Isabela your s stuck up selfish untitled princess!" Mirabel yells. "How dare you." Isabela replies.

Aflower shots into Augustìn nose making him drop it on the table. Mirabel grabs it off the table.

"Mirabel no!" Julieta yells.

Mirabel opens it and reads it.

The note
I'm writing you this message just so I can say that I love you
I had to let you know that everything about me was you, yeah
I think it's time for me to leave, but I'll never leave you
I just looked at your pictures, so the last thing I did was see you

I'm 29, my anxiety's eating me alive
I'm fightin' with myself and my sobriety every night
And last time I couldn't barely open up my eyes, I apologize

I'm not gonna lie and tell you it's alright, it's alright
You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright
I wrote you this song to keep when I'm gone
If you ever feel alone
You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright

I hope you get to go to all the places that I showed you
When I was on the road and couldn't be home to hold you
Part of me doesn't want this cruel world to know you
So just try and keep in mind everything that I told you

I'm 29, and society's eating me alive
I'm fighting what comes with this notoriety every night
This is the last time I'll ever open up my eyes, I apologize
I'm not gonna lie and tell you it's alright, it's alright

You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright
I wrote you this song to keep when I'm gone
If you ever feel alone
You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, yeah
And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you
And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you

I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, yeah
And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you

I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you
And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, yeah

And I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I'll miss you

I love you

"Mamà who is this?" Mirabel asks. Julieta looks down.

Mirabel looks at everyone and they put there heads down to and so does Camilo. Mirabel looks confused.

"Hija umm Carlos is-is your bro-brother." Julieta stutters. Mirabel looks at her. "H-he killed himself when you were 4." Julieta replies. Mirabel looks at Camilo.

"Mirabel-" camilo gets cut off. "You knew didn't you?" Mirabel asks. Camilo nods.

"I wish it was me who died instead." Mirabel whispers. Everyone looks at her. "What?" Julieta asks. "I wish it was me who died instead!" Mirabel yells. "Mirabel!" Augustìn yells. "No I'm serious!" Mirabel stands up.

"No one's proud of me even how much I try half this family hates me and they said it their self!" Mirabel yells. Isabela looks down.

"I'm sick of pretending everything is okay. I hate pretending I'm okay. I'm not! I'm not fine I'm not okay why don't anyone listen to me?" Mirabel asks. "Why won't anyone listen to me." Mirabel repeats and drops to the floor. "Mirabel!" Julieta yells. Camilo runs to his and catches. "Mirabel, Mirabel look at me, look at me." Camilo tells her. Mirabel looks at him. "Your okay." Camilo says. Mirabel nods.

Camilo goes and carries her to his room to lay her down. The family was confused but didn't think much of it.
