So You've Fallen for a Madrigal? (Camilo Madrigal x female reader)

36. Not Again...

Day 6
_______________________________________

When breakfast is over, everyone has to leave. That is- everyone except for Mrs. Alma and Mirabel. You decide that the best option is to vibe with Mirabel.

When you approach her, she looks confused. She doesn't know you that well, you assume.

"Well, isn't this the first time I've seen you not pacing back and forth?"
"Hm? Oh," she responds nervously, "I just get a bit stressed out sometimes."
"Well that's no good."
"Yeah.. by the way, can I ask you a question?"

"Mhm."
"How did you manage to get a door even though you're not in the family...?"
"Oh...uhm... I'm not sure."
"Are you part of a magical family?"

Then it hits you. Your mom... she knew what you were thinking the other day. How? She must have a gift. She MUST. How else would she have known about... Camilo...

"I'm sorry, but I need to go,"  you say.
"Oh... ok then-" Mirabel stutters.
"I'll be back in a bit... hopefully."

You quickly run out of the house. Your house wasn't a super long way away, but it took awhile if you were walking. You would walk, but you don't have time to waste. You need answers.

You continue to run frantically through the streets, not caring who you bump into. Suddenly, someone grabs your arm, causing you to make an abrupt stop. You turn around, hoping to see a friendly face, but sadly, the face is not so friendly.

When you look, your dad is there, holding onto your arm. Trying not to look suspicious, he tries to act normal.

"I've finally found you," he says.
"Let go of my arm, or things are going to get violent."
"Why should I? You're my child, aren't you?"
"No. Leave me alone."
"No. I'm taking you back to the house. My house."
"No, you're not!"

You quickly kick him in the shin, causing him to stumble just long enough for you to free your arm. You begin sprinting faster than you ever have, making your way home.

When you get there, you slam the door shut. You're lucky he hadn't followed you. Panting, you start trying to find your mom.

Suddenly, she emerges from your room. Why was she in there?

"There you are," you exhale.
"Yes. I know what happened."
"You do?"
"Yes. I do. Sorry, but you're not going out for the rest of the day."

"What?! Why?!"
"Because we can't risk you being found again today."
"But I have plans tonight with Camilo!!!"
"I don't care. This is for your safety."

You pout at her. You know she's right, but you hate it.

"But hey..." she continues, "I can explain the door in the Madrigal home."
