Chapter ninety two: Soothing sounds

Camilo's breath hitched as he stumbled backwards. Camilo had admitted to me earlier today that he was somewhat scared of Hugo. I understood why, in Camilo's mind, Hugo represented all of the bad things that people thought about him, the insults that he's heard about himself. Just seeing Hugo must've brought up some terrible feelings.

"W-What?" Camilo asked, letting go of my hand.

"You heard me" Hugo answered "Are you really that fucking stupid? Of course you are!"

"No, I'm not..." Camilo said, barely over a whisper.

The rest of our friends had concerned expressions on their faces. They knew about the things that Hugo and his friends have said about Camilo. Camilo was slowly moving away from where Hugo was standing, I couldn't really tell if he knew that he was doing it or not.

Then he shapeshifted into Hugo. He quickly went back to himself but I knew that the fact he was shapeshifting was bad. I started taking note of who he was shapeshifting into.

Hugo let out a loud obnoxious laugh that caught us off guard.

"Look at you! You're trying to run away!" Hugo exclaimed "Of course you are, you're just going to get one of the other, better, actually useful Madrigals to come to your rescue, aren't you?"

"I-I-" Camilo stuttered "I can't-"

Antonio. Osvaldo. Me. Mirabel.

"Hugo, that's enough" Ruben said, stepping in front of Hugo, pushing him away by the shoulders.

Hugo pushed back the same way that Ruben pushed him.

"Ruben, don't" Emilio said, trying to pull Ruben back.

"Hugo, what is wrong with you?" Amelia asked, "Leave us alone!"

"Hah! Look!" Hugo exclaimed "You need your friends to protect you! Can't you do anything for yourself?"

"I don't, I'm not-" Camilo muttered.

Camilo tripped on himself and fell backwards, making a loud thud sound as he hit the floor. I made my way beside Camilo and tried to help him up. But he was paralyzed in fear and he wouldn't get up, he simply stared at Hugo, his eyes blown wide.

"You're useless Camilo" Hugo stated, a disgusted look on his face as he looked down on Camilo.

Pepa. Julieta. Dolores. Ruben.

He pushed Ruben to the side, causing him to crash into a table. The sound made a loud sound, the plastic cups and the pitchers filled with juice that were sitting on top of the buffet table now toppling down. Hugo squatted down so he could look Camilo in the eye.

"You don't even know who you are," Hugo spat out bitterly, only loud enough for Camilo and I to hear "You're only useful when you're someone else."

Camilo gritted his teeth and his breath hitched as he tried to hold back his tears. He got up and began to run away, faster than I'd ever seen him run before.

"Camilo!" I yelled, getting up.

"What is wrong with you?!" Ruben yelled, getting up from the ground.

Ruben charged at Hugo, tackling him to the ground.

"Ruben!" Emilio yelled, trying to pull Ruben off of Hugo.

"Y/n, go find Camilo!" Amelia told me "Emilio and I will try to diffuse the situation here!"

"Y/n, wait!" I heard Hugo say before I ran off.

I ignored him and nodded at Amelia before running off to where I saw Camilo run off to. I didn't want to leave them to deal with Hugo on their own but who knows where Camilo could be by now. I ran all the way to Casita. I thought that he might've ran to his room and hid there with the door shut. I worried about the mirrors.
