You Are My Future Bruno x OC

It Looks Like Rain

It was finally the morning of Peppa's wedding. Julieta and I were in charge of getting her ready while Alejandro, Sara, Mariana and Bruno were at the church setting things up. Things couldn't be more perfect. The church was covered in sunflowers. The outside reception was ready, and I was about to wow the crowd with a new fire routine that night. That still didn't change Peppa's attitude. She was a an obvious nervous wreck.

Impressively the sky outside was still blue. Showing Peppa's amazing level of control. Alma would completely disagree with me. "Clear skies." Peppa gasped as she breathed in and out. "Clear skies! Clear skies!" She ranted while I tried to fix her hair. Julieta looked concerned at her sister, moving nervously in the back. I put my hands on her shoulders. "Pepa. Maybe, you should just let it out?"

"Reina!" Alma huffed. "Pepa can handle it! There will be no clouds in the sky today!" Peppa then turned to her mother. "Mama, please don't yell at her." Papa didn't usually stand up for me like this but I appreciated it.

"Reina." Julieta then taped my shoulder. "The thing!" I then pulled out a little black box. "So Pepa, Since this is such a special day, I got inspired. And I allowed Julieta and Bruno to do their part in creating it. This is for you." I offered her the box. Peppa opened the box and gasped. In the box was a pair of earrings. Gold with a ruby interior. Looking like two suns. She looked up at us in shock.

"Are these real rubies?" She asked. "I made that myself. They came out of my lava cave." Peppa smiled as she took my hand. "And the Suns?" Julieta stood behind her and wrapped her arms around her sisters shoulders. "Because, you're our sun" Julieta said. Pepa then sniffed. "I LOVE THEM!" she cried as she jumped up and embraced us tightly.

Peppa sat down in front of the mirror and immediately put on the earrings. "They are perfect!" I am never, never ever taking them off." she cried as she embraced us again. "Peppa," Alma warned as it had already started a small drizzle in the room. "Sorry Mama." Peppa said as she stood up. "Clear skies!" she exclaimed. "Clear skies. Clear skies!" she exclaimed.

The sky was still absolutely beautiful. Peppa on the other hand only got more and more stressed. To me, she looked like a spring that was going to snap at any second. Her eyes were squinted and she kept repeating her mantra. Over and over. Alma was of course, the perfect picture of control as she was walking with a straight back. Pretty much deciding our walking speed while Peppa was grabbing my arm to keep herself standing. Squeezing it so hard that it actually started to hurt.

Felix was not with us. Obviously, he was waiting at the church, but if he was here, he would be perfect at defusing this kind of tension with his famous smile. As we had reached the entrance of the church, things weren't much better. Peppa seemed to be sweating bullets.

I saw Bruno in front of the closed Church doors. I escaped Peppa's vice-like grip on my arm and ran up to him. Bruno kissed my forehead, inhaled deeply, then put on his best smile as he linked arms with me and approached his sister.

"Oh don't worry!" Bruno then smiled as he took Pepa's hand. "You could wear a wine barrel and Felix would still think you're beautiful!" He exclaimed. I chuckled at his joke while Peppa looked at us with anger. For a minute, I thought there was lightning in her glare.

"All he wants to do is to dance with you all night. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?" Bruno asked as he moved in. "Oh look at that. Looks like rain." he joked. At that, Pepa froze. Her eyes widened. "What?" she asked. Bruno jumped back as I tried to defend him. "That's not what he meant Peppa!" I told her.

It was too late. Pepa was horrified. Then, a strong wind picked up at our feet. "She's going to blow! We have to get out of here!" I heard Alejandro yell behind the doors. "Everything needs to be perfect." Pepa said with a shaky voice. "Mama worked for months. It needs to be perfect. Clear skies." she gasped. "Clear skies. CLEAR SKIES!" She screamed.

Then the doors burst open. Torn apart by the massive hurricane like wind, only to reveal the church in chaos. People were in a panic. Taking refuge beneath the pews as hymn books and candelabras were flying all around the place. Pepa screamed in despair seeing this destruction.

"NO!" She shouted as she fell to her knees. Bruno attempted to console his sister. He grabbed her arm and she swatted him away. Don't touch me!" Pepa screamed. "You ruined it Bruno! Felix is going leave me because of you! You ruin everything!"

And that was when I finally snapped. "ENOUGH!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as my entire body turned into a fiery Inferno. There was nothing stopping me now. I was mad as hell.  Everyone fell silent as they looked upon me with horrified faces. 

"I have had it from you all blaming him!" I yelled as I pointed at Peppa. "You are the one to blame Peppa! It's not his fault you can't control your emotions you, overdramatic, insecure, basket case!" As I screamed, my fire breath extended out in an attempt to burn Peppa but instead Bruno jumped in front of her, burning his hand and his lower arms. 

He fell to the ground screaming in pain. Time stopped. At that moment, my body had completely gone back to normal. I was no longer angry. I was now in shock. All I could see and hear were Bruno's cries as his beautiful skin was burning. I went from a feeling of shock to a feeling of disgust at what I had just done. Then a deep and pure feeling of fear. I started shaking and hot tears were coming down my face. 

Before everyone had the chance to look at me, I ran out the back of the church. I had ran all the way back the Mi Casita, then continuedrunning until I slammed my bedroom door behind me. I fell to my knees and started screaming out of shock, disgust and fear.

I was shocked. I can't believe I had reacted like that. So violently. So much pure rage was inside of me. I had never felt so angry in my life. In that one moment, my very soul was on fire.

I was disgusted. Never in my life, had I even imagined that I would hurt Bruno. I was the only one that understood him. The only one who cared. The only one who listened to what he had to say. I swore to him, he would never get burned with me. Now look what's happened.

And I was so afraid. Afraid of what the town would think. Afraid of what my siblings would say. But I was mostly in fear of Bruno. I was afraid that Julieta couldn't heal him. I was afraid he would have scars for a lifetime. I was afraid that he hated me. I was afraid that he would never love me anymore. I was afraid that our relationship was dead. I was afraid that the vision he saw of me in a wedding dress, he was not the one waiting at the aisle. 

This was all my fault. This was all my doing. I destroyed my relationship Bruno. I destroyed my reputation in the Encanto. I had destroyed everything. There is nothing that could be fixed.

 My voice went dry with all of my screaming. I immediately lost consciousness. That was the last time I used my gift. On that day, my lava river cooled down and my door stopped glowing.
