{Chapter 27.} Flashback

{{New madrigal character}}

Camilo kept running throughout the dark streets, the night making it almost impossible to see, he runs into someone, it takes him a moment to realize who it was.

It only took him a few seconds to realize: it was his Older brother the only person who had defended him throughout his childhood, but was kicked out if the Casita almost a year ago.

{{Flashback starts now, camilo is 14, and his older brother is 19/name reveal in 3.. 2..}}

"Cam?" Lorenzo said quietly, walking into the room quietly to find Camilo crying in the corner, covering his face with his hands.

"Hm, she yelled again, didnt she? What did she say this time?" Lorenzo said, referring to abuela. Sitting down next to Camilo, giving him a small hug, and a comforting pat on the back. "You know you can tell me".

"She said I should stop being lazy?! And my gift isnt as useful as she wants it to be, Even though she doesnt know how hard I work, and she said that I dont look normal, that I should eat more?! What's that supposed to mean?! I didn't even do anything to anyone and shes saying these things to me." Camilo said, hugging lorenzo, with tears still going down his face.

"I'll Talk to Abuela about it.." Lorenzo said, slowly standing up.

"Wait!' Camilo stood up.

"Dont to her I told you! Or she will get mad- and yell again- or worse-"

"Alright, i wont tell her about you but i will mention the gifts and stuff." Lorenzo said walking downstairs, and Camilo following behind him.

"Abuela? Can I speak to you for a minute?" Lorenzo said, trying to stay calm.

"Of course, is something wrong?" Abuela said, with the 'nice' person act.

"If someone's gift isnt very helpful dont you think you should be to hard on them? Thay are trying their best. And maybe Don't yell." Lorenzo said, trying his best to not lash out and yell the truth at his abuela.

"We will find a way to make it useful! And if they are working their best, they just need to try harder and work more
And yelling? It's not yelling, its motivation." Abuela said, making it sound like shes saying 'Trying your best isnt good enough.' Just by reading the expression on her face.

"Well, I dont like you so called way of 'Motivating' Camilo!" Lorneoz said.

Camilo hid behind Lorenzo with absolute terror on his face at the mention of his name. Making his skin go pale, and making him speechless.

"Camilo? What does he have to do with this?!" Abuela yelled back.

"Dont act like you dont KNOW!!!" Lornezo shouted. "He told me everything, dont deny it, I'm not stupid! If you say thifs like that to him again, I swear I will-" Lorenzo continued but was all of a sudden interrupt.

"Please stop, your gonna make this worse." Camilo whispered, tugging on Lorenzo's sleeves, his voice was shaky and quiet.

"Camilo?" Abuela noticed Camilo hiding behind lorenzo. "Come here." She said.

Camilos face went even more pale and he looked at Lorenzo, and he was terrified.

"Why should he?" Lorenzo said, shielding Camilo from Abuela.

Abuela scoffed "I've given you too many chances Lorenzo, I'm done with you, you have brought me too much trouble. Casita, kick him out."

As soon as Abuela said that, Lorenzo was being pushed outside of the casita from the tiles beneath his feet.

"You cant just kick him out like that!" Camilo yelled, his fac still pale. His heart beat went faster and he couldn't think about what to do, with panic.

"And you." Abuela said, grabbing Camilo's wrist before he could try running. "Go to your room, now, or else you will end up getting kicked out like him."
