You Are My Future Bruno x OC

Never Meant To Be

After the shock of what had just went down, the wedding continued. Felix was all smiles while Peppa was in tears. Once they said their vows and Felix kissed her the sun was out again. As everyone processed out of the church, Alejandro Sarah and Mariana rushed to the Casita.

"Reina! Reina! It's us! Are you okay!?" Mariana yelled at she banged on my door. "Please open the door sister!" Sara desperately pleaded. They kept going at it few more minutes until they gave up and turned to Alejandro, who had a defeated look on his face. "She's not going to open the door." That's when they started bombarding him with questions.

"What are you talking about Alejandro?"

"What's going on?"

"How did this happen?"

"Why did this happen?

"What is she thinking!?"

"Girls stop! I can't even hear my own thoughts about this." He walked into the kitchen and sat them down. "Reina thinks that her outburst was her fault. She thinks that Bruno hates her that he never wants to see her again. She thinks the Madrigal's hates her. She thinks the whole Encanto hates her." He said with a frown. "Oh no. That's horrible." Sara said. 

"But what about Bruno?" Mariana asked. "Yeah. He was the one that saved Peppa from getting burned. Reina always told him he'd never get burned. But he just did!" He sighed and continued. "He's just been healed by Julieta. He's in his Tower. He thinks that this is all his fault. For the hurricane and for Reina blowing up. He thinks he doesn't deserve her. He thinks he's a curse. He thinks that the whole family and the whole Encanto hates him now."

Sara "No. No! He can't think that. That's not true at all!"

Mariana lowered her head and stared at the ground "So, what does this mean for the both of them? Is their relationship over? Are they broken up?" She whispered sadly. "It's hard to say Mariana. They still love each other. Deep inside of their minds, they still love each other so much. But they're afraid. They're terrified."

Sarah stood up from her chair. "Of what?" Alejandro sighed and continued. "They fear their love for each other. Bruno believes that he isn't in the vision he saw of Reina in a wedding dress and Reina thinks that she will hurt him again and that he and his family hate her." Sara put her hands on his shoulders. "Maybe if you tell her how much he still loves her then-" Alejandro stopped her.

"You think she will listen to anything I say!? Her fear has completely taken over her. There's no convincing her." That's when Sara broke down and Mariana had to comfort her while holding back her own tears. "It's so tragic. They were so perfect for each other!" Sara cried. "It's so awful. I feel so bad for them both." Mariana added. "When will she come out?"

"She never wants to come out." His sisters looked to him in fear. "But I have strong feeling that she will soon." Mariana asked. "When do you think that will be?" He sighed. "Tomorrow or the next day. Maybe in the next week but she will come out. I just know it."

That day turned into a week. A week turned to a month. And months into a year. I couldn't come out of my room. I couldn't even leave my bed. But Alejandro understanding my pain, he always left a note for me saying what had went down in the Encanto.

Soon I was able to leave my bed and look out the balcony of my room that overlooked the Encanto. Peppa and Julieta were already pregnant. Their firstborns were named Isabella and Dolores. They were always a treat to watch prancing around the village everyday. 

Julieta then had another girl, Luisa. She was tall for a little girl but very gentle amd kind. Always wanting to ride the donkeys. Four years after that, Peppa and Julieta had two more children. A boy named Camillo and a girl named Mirabel. Two of the most energetic kids I have ever seen.

But when I saw Bruno with them, I immediately turned away. God I couldn't even look at him without thinking of the past. But I knew that he was the best tió those children could ever have. Probably spoiling those kids and playing with them all day. Alejandro wrote me a letter of how Isabella had started to think that Mariana was pretty. I brushed it off as a schoolgirl crush.

Then I remembered how my love for Bruno started off as a innocent crush. The letter completely burned away to ash and I started to cry. Thinking of the past was so painful for me. I felt like my heart was being stabbed over and over every time I thought about Bruno and I. Of what we were and what we could have been. 

There were some days, I couldn't handle those thoughts. There were some days I wanted to jump off the balcony of Mi Casita. I believe without Alejandro and my sisters support, I would have gone through with it. But even with my family's love, even though they were right there, I had never felt so alone.
