I crept to the frame of the door. 

"What are you doing?" I quietly asked Ryder.

"Will you marry me?" He asked for the second time today.

"Ryder-" he cut me off

"Will you marry me!?" He screamed, spit flying from his mouth. I hesitated. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want him to hurt himself, or me for that matter. I put my hands out to him.

"Its okay, Ryder,lets go a talk about inside okay? just give me the gun," I paused to see what he would do. He pointed the gun at me.

"I've made a bunch of mistakes y/n" Ryder cried out. He pushed past me and sat down at the table. He placed his head in his hands and cried out. He smashed the gun against the table. He began to hit his fist against the table.

"Ryder, calm down" I whispered, i was beginning to get frightened. 

"I killed her" Ryder sobbed.

"Killed who?" I asked. 

"Alexa". Now i was confused. I remember, i stabbed her.

"I killed alexa" I felt guilty saying that. Ryder shook his head and laughed.

"She lived. She was sitting up when i came down here to... dispose of her. she knew i was gonna kill her she knew i was gonna kill you, she knew to much. So, i shot her" Ryder finished. My jaw was hanging open. So i didn't kill Alexa but Ryder was gonna kill me sooner or later. Hopefully later. I just stood there not knowing what to do. Before my body and brain could process what was happening Ryder lunged at me. His hands were around my throat. His grip tightened and i could barely breathe. This time i knew Camilo wasn't going to save me. I reached up to try and scratch his face. Nothing worked at my vision grew fuzzy. I began to fight with all my might. I kicked. i threw punches. Finally one connected with Ryders jaw and the force threw him off of me. I rolled off the floor grabbing the gun and pointed it at him. Ryder laughed and ran out the door. I followed him. Once he got outside i shot him in the leg. He fell to the ground and the bright white snow slowly turned crimson red. I ran to his side.

"Ryder?" Was all i could say. Ryder turned over and looked at me dead in the eyes. He grabbed the gun from my hand. In that moment i knew he wasn't going to shoot me. 

"I loved you. I followed you ever since you arrived in Encanto. You used to sit by your window every night. I knew what day your mom died and what your dad used to do to you. One day i was going to save you. Y/n i was going to save you! It was supposed to be me! Then he caught your eye. Camilo. His name makes me feel sick to my stomach. He wanted to save you and you let him. You want to be wrapped in his arms at night, you want to feel safe with him. You want to wake up to his face every morning. I wanted that to be me. I wanted you to be with me. I wanted to be the face you woke up to every morning. I wanted to be the one you relied on. The shoulder you could cry on. You wanted him. He worshiped the very ground you walked on, even when i sent Alexa to try to get him to betray you, to betray your trust but he never did. When he said he'd make it up to alexa you know what he did? He gave her a piece of fruit! He loves you and i know for a fact you love him but why couldn't it be me? Why couldn't you love me?" Then he pulled the trigger.
