Mariposa

Chapter 10: Family🦋

2nd person POV

You went to drop your trash in the garbage when you were  met by Julieta. "You enjoying the party" she asked with a bright smile. "Yes mama..."  you said kissing her cheek. She noticed your uncertainty and held your hand.

"What is it?" She asked genuinely curious. You were hesitant but decided to spill it. "You never told me any details when my mother was dead" you said frustrated. She looked at you in pity. "Mi vida, you know that we love you just as if you were biologically part of this family"

She said resting her shoulders on your right arm. "Can you at least tell me about her" you looked at her sweetly, giving her the biggest puppy dog eyes you had. She couldn't resist. "Well...your mom was something" she paused to clear her throat.

" she was one of the prettiest in the village, boys were head over heels for her" she said teasing. "You know what I mean mama" she laughed and started to tell you about your mother's past.

"She was my best friend, she was the one who introduced me to Agustin, she was so supportive until your father came along. He made her see the world differently, a bad difference.  She was very very rich. Your father seemed interest in her wealth" You nodded your head signaling her to continue.

"Her love for him only grew until he manipulated her and got her pregnant, but that child wasn't you, she let a villager adopt what seemed to be your older sister. A little while later she found out she couldn't have anymore babies, when your father knew of this he purposely got her pregnant and she died, I decided to raise you."

You cleared your throat not knowing what to say. "Is my father still here, in the encanto?" You said trying to get information about your family. She shook her head no. "What about my older sister. 

A light tint of red came onto her face. She looked around and some loud music started to play. "Let's dance" she said changing the subject.  She is hiding something about your older sister. You were soon snapped out of your thoughts when you were met with Ana.

You were shocked to see her here. "Anna, long time no see, how's it been" you said trying to be friendly. "Well it's...been" you shook her hand.  "Well I'm glad you are here, no hard feelings right?" 

"Yep no hard feelings, I'm truly happy for you" she said returning the gesture. Mirabel was glaring at the both of you from a distance. Her pizza was soon thrown to the ground when she saw you two shake hands. 

On the corner of your eyes you could see her bolting from her current spot straight towards you. "What's up guys?" She said trying to strike a conversation. "She was just congratulating us. " you said trying to calm your fiancé down. "You two look oddly alike" she said looking at the two of you with deep thought. You brushed it off and tried to party.

You dragged mirabel to damce with you. "Your mom won't tell me anything about my sister"

"You have a sister." She silently yelled "Yes" you said responding back to her. "Your mama kept changing the subject, I think she knows who she is" mirabel nodded in agreement and hugged you.

"Try to get your mind off of it, enjoy the party!" She said twirling around. You giggled and took her advice.
