the scar of the Madrigal

chapter 41

Last time

*Isabela gave a small groan as her headache was back, her body felt like it was on fire, and she felt her thighs as if someone punch them, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at her body, from what she could see her perfect skin now was filed with bruises. And the one responsible? Mirabel who was still asleep her head on isabela's stomach*

Present

In encanto

*We see Luisa and Julieta eating Mirabel's birthday cake, they haven't said anything since they got back home*

Julieta:do...do you think....

Luisa:Mom...I'm begging you don't do this to yourself, don't give yourself hope when you know you'll just be heartbroken later on....

*Luisa said softly. Julieta sighed and nodded, she finished her cake and started climbing up the stairs to her room*

Julieta:I'm tired, it's been a hell of a day, I'm.... I'm gonna go to bed, don't stay up too late Luisa

Luisa;I won't Mami, I love you

Julieta:i love you too honey, your literally my whole world

*Julieta said with a soft smile, she made it to her room and closed the door. Once it was locked she sat on her bed and looked at a picture of little Mirabel*

Julieta:hay papa.. i...I know it's not true, I know I can't ever see her again until I come up there with you and her but....but please let it be true, please give me a sign that you've protected her out there and that she's alive and happy let...let my little miracle be alive, I'll give up my gift just to make that happen please...pl..please...

*Julieta said getting choked up as a big lump on her throat is form and Julieta wept wanting to believe in her delusional dream but deep in her heart she knows it's not true, she knows Mirabel is dead and that there's a good chance that so is isabela, but she prayed for both there safety and hapness*

Meanwhile with Mirabel and Isabela

Isabela:oh God what happened last night...

*Isabela said lifting Mirabel higher so they could cuddle. Mirabel by instinct wrapped her arms around isabela's neck and squeezed tightly as she yawned, she rubbed her head on the crook of isabela's neck and kept sleeping. Isabela smiled every since Gabriela's passing Mirabel has been more affectionate with her and Isabela for one loved it even if she missed Gabriela dearly, isabela wrapped her arms around Mirabel's waist and pulled her even closer. Just as she was about to go back to sleep her memories came back hitting her like a truck*
