I was sitting next to Mirabel holding her as she cried into my shoulder, I rubbed her head "You know, its not your fault" I spoke breaking the quiet "We didn't know what was going to happen" I sighed looking at the flowing river
Footsteps were approaching us "Mirabel" Alma said, "Oh Rosa, your hair" Alma spoke softly from behind us, Mirabel brings her head up and attempt to wipe her tears away "I'm sorry" Mirabel and I said
"We didn't want to hurt, I just wanted to be something I'm not" Mirabel said trying to hold back her tears and failed
Alma sat down next to Mirabel and looked at the flowing river "I've never been able to come back here"
"This river is where we were given our miracle" Alma had a sadden expression on her face "Where Abuelo Pedro..." Mirabel trailed off looking at Alma "I thought we would have a different life, I thought I would be a different woman"
"I was given a miracle, a second chance, and I was so afraid to lose it that I lost sight of who our miracle was for, and I'm sorry" Alma paused
"You never hurt our family, Mirabel and Rosa nothings your fault" She sighed
"We are broken...because of me" Alma said looking away from our faces, I turned my head to see a butterfly land on the plant from Bruno's vision, I tapped Mirabel hand and pointed towards it
We got up from where we were sitting and turned to Alma "Mama I can finally see" I said grabbing her and Mirabels hands walking in the river to the butterfly "You lost your home, lost everything, you suffered so much, all alone, so it would never happen" I said caressing her hand
"We were saved because of you, we were given a miracle, because of you, we are a family, because of you and nothing could ever be broken that we can't fix...together" Mirabel spoke, for someone who is 15 she sure is wise, I guess she gets it from me
"I asked my Pedro for help...Mirabel, Rosa he sent me you" Alma said placing a hand on our cheek and pulling us into a hug
We pulled from the hug and leaned on each other watch the numerous butterflies surrounding us
We walk back on the grass as a yell was herd "They didn't do this! Whoa!" It was Bruno on a horse or at least trying to ride the horse "They didn't do this! I gave her a vision" he said getting down from the horse but his foot was caught in the strap on the horse
"It was me!" he says falling, I laughed and went over to help Bruno up "I was, like, "Go!" and they were like" he says making a raspberry sound at the end "Both of them only wanted to help, I don't care what you think of me, but if you're too stubborn to.."he gasps softly as Alma comes and gives him a hug
"Brunito" She spoke embracing him "I feel like I missed something important" Bruno spoke slowly "Come on" Mirabel said hopping on the horse
