¿El Amor Dura Para Siempre?

Where it Starts

You were about 15-years-old when you moved to Encanto, and though you were quite hesitant, your mother had managed to convince you to step out into a new change, a new life, it was perhaps for the better anyways.

You walk out the door with a smile, and proceed to what you do best around the town,  which is making self-portraits of the town-folks. "Hola Y/N!!", people greet you nicely as they pass by. "Hola!!", you reply back, bowing your hat down to each of them with respect.
Time was ticking, and no one seemed to want any portraits made today.

You waited and waited, until eventually, you started gaining customers as usual again, and even a couple ladies asked for your number ;) Your heart was made content. As you thought you had finished, the sun was already setting, drawing a beautiful orange horizon that kissed your sight. "Ah, you did it again, Lord", you looked up in adoration.

You were already grabbing your stuff to return home, when suddenly a woman with a baby swaddled in her arms tugged on your shirt. "Please, sir, you've got to help me! This man's gonna hurt us!", the lady cried out. "What's wrong? Who's going to hurt you?!", your voice loudened as your eyes searched around. Her legs trembled as she pointed his direction. You didn't think twice before going up to him and punching him in the face, not once, not twice, but several times!
"Pedazo de mierda! ¿¡Que sucede contigo?!", the man began cursing at you in Spanish for physically assaulting him. "Make one more move on this lady and I'm gonna matar you!", you shouted back, putting your protective hand over the lady. The man gave up and turned away, as he should.

"A-are you alright now, señora?", you turn over to the now crying brunette. You wanted to huddle and comfort her, but as soon as your eyes met her face...boy, oh boy, were you in big trouble. Your cheeks began to heat up, your throat began to tighten, and you wanted to blame your allergies for it, but she was all you could look at. As soon as she looked up and wiped her tears, then you were able to turn your face away. "Y-yes, yes I am, muchas gracias!", she replied with a genuine smile. "Oh! I'm sorry! I completely forgot to introduce myself...I-I'm Julieta, Julieta Madrigal! Thank you for your help!", She said whilst holding her hand out for a shake. Once your hands intertwined, you couldn't help but feel this overwhelming energy shooting through your veins and into your brain, it felt like an electric shock, but the good kind..? "Mucho gusto! me alegro de poder ser de ayuda", your shake finishes, but before you could both let go, you share a few awkward looks before turning your faces away in embarrassment. "I'm Y/N by the way! Hehe", you look down at your feet as you say your name, it seemed that you never really liked your name at all...not until, "Aww what an adorable name! I like the name Y/N! It suits you ;)", she winks at you seductively, and kisses your cheek. You felt quite embarrassed, but great at the same time...we're you in love?

Sure, Julieta did seem to be married, but it was clear as day that he was just an abuser. Looks like she came into your life at the right time.

"Hey, um, w-would you like to spend dinner at m-my house tonight? Or are you busy..?", you stammer, whilst clasping your sweaty palms together nervously. "Oh, well my mama would like to have me back by now. Perhaps, you'd like to join us instead?", Julieta couldn't help but smile as you agreed. "Sure! I-I'd love to!", the smug smirk on your face could no longer be hidden, and there you were on cloud 9.

She turns away with her baby, and you can't stop but stare at her as she walks away as graceful as a dove. "You better not mess this up!", you whisper to yourself with an angry tone. And now you wait.
