PART TWO

2 years ago

18 year old Camilo Madrigal was getting ready to see his Amor, Y/n L/n. He was planning to propose and fulfil their dream. Get married at 20, have 2 kids and be together forever. But Abuela Alma did not want this at all, she chose a different ending for him.

He slipped a black ruana on and headed downstairs, he was about to leave Casita but Abuela stood in his way. "Where are you going?" She asked sternly. Camilo smiled brightly "To see Y/n, why?" The smile never left his face, it just widened when he mentioned the girl he fell in love with.

"I disapprove of this whole relationship Camilo, i set you up with another amazing girl in the village and you WILL marry her when you're 20, i will not take no for an answer" His Abuela explained.

Camilo stood in shock, searching the older woman's eyes to see if she was tricking him until he realised she was not the type to pull any jokes. His heart shattered. "But..i love Y/n" he murmured. The woman scoffed. "Well stop loving her, you will marry Rosa Rivera and you will love her!" Abuela snapped.

Camilo froze at the name. Rosa Rivera was Y/n's BEST FRIEND. How could this happen? How will he even tell Y/n this? "I expect you to end things with Y/n and you will be meeting Rosa at dinner tonight" Abuela informed before walking off. Camilo had tears in his eyes. He knew nobody could get him out of this situation.

When Isabela was betrothed to Mariano, nobody made an effort to see her true feelings about him or even ask '' So who would do that for him, right? He later broke up with Y/n and left the girl in tears, guilt pooling in his veins. He missed her already.

At dinner, Camilo didn't make an effort with Rosa and the people who noticed this was HIS family. Pepa, Felix, Dolores and Antonio. They knew him. They knew Camilo's true feelings. And as an 8 year old boy, Antonio identified people's feelings extremely well.

After dinner when Rosa left, the boy comforted his brother. "If you still love Y/n then you should marry her, right?" He asked in his small voice. Camilo smiled with his trembling lips. "Thats not how it works, Tonito.." he murmured and Antonio wrapped his small arms around his crying brother.

Pepa was livid to say the least but no matter how hard her or Felix tried to change Abuela's mind, it didn't work. She waffled on about how much she despised Y/n and how much trouble she caused.

Dolores listened to her brother cry at night. She heard Y/n cry too and couldn't stand it that the couple had been separated like this. She wanted to talk to her Abuela but if her mama and papa couldn't convince her, how would she convince her?

Camilo knew he loved Y/n but Y/n didn't. She thinks that Camilo had simply fallen out of love and moved onto Rosa...but she didn't know the truth. She would never know the truth about anything that happened.

Present time.

I was getting ready for my wedding. But it wasn't with Y/n...it was with her best friend. And it felt wrong. I wanted to be doing this with the girl I truly loved, since the age of 13! I put my suit on and soon, my mami walked in with a gentle smile.

"Hey Cami" she whispered and i looked at her with teary eyes. "Mami..i don't think i can do this" i sniffled and she sent me a look of pain and sympathy. She wrapped her arms around me but let go instantly when a cloud appeared over her head. "SHOO! SHOO!" She snapped.

I smiled softly. "Take deep breaths, mami" I instructed softly and she whispered 'clear skies' to herself repeatedly and the raining clouds vanished. She looked at me and held my face in her hands. "I wish there was something i could do, Camilo. But sadly, you have to let Y/n go..." My heart broke but i knew i had to accept it and agree with my mami.

"I know mami, i know..its just hard. Its been 2 years and I can't process it still. I loved Y/n more than anything and i still do" I whispered and she smiled sadly. "I understand Camilo...if i was put in this position with your father, I would be going loco~" she said and i laughed a little. "You're lucky you got to stay with dad" i said and she sighed.

"Y/N! Y/N! Y/N!" I banged on her door and she answered it, half asleep. "What..." she asked in a raspy voice. "I HAVE KEPT THIS FOR SO LONG BUT CAMILO ISNT MEANT TO MARRY ROSA OKAY? ITS ARRANGED!" I blurted out in a yell. Y/n was wide awake now and she looked at me in shock

Then she started laughing?

"Dolores, Camilo told me he didn't love me anymore. Its over- he doesn't love me, okay? Plus, I thought Abuela Alma didn't arrange marriages anymore? Ever since Isabelas one was a disaster!" She snapped but she calmed down when she heard me squeak in shock, covering my ears.

"Sorry Dolores.." she whispered and i smiled sympathetically before smirking. "You know, its not too late to stop the wedding" I suggested and she raised her brow. "I can't ruin Camilo's wedding!" She said and i rolled my eyes and grasped her shoulders. "Trust me Y/n, you'll be saving him" i informed. "What do you mean?"

"Rosa Rivera treats Camilo like crap, okay? They always argue and one time, i heard her yell 'I don't even know who you are anymore' and..well, Camilo cuddled with me the whole night, begging me to help him out with everything. Begging for you, Y/n" I explained and a look of anticipation rose in her eyes. "Well, what are we waiting for? Lets go wreck a wedding" she smirked.

I smiled brightly and whistled. Bruno appeared, riding a horse. "Did someone call for the great, Tio Bruno?" He yelled with a smile. Y/n and i laughed and we jumped on. "Lets go get your Camilo back!" He called out before we rode off, I covered my ears because Tio Bruno was woohoo-ing loudly the entire time. Typical Bruno to be honest.

I watched as Rosa walked down the aisle, wearing a beautiful white dress. I couldn't even smile, i felt too numb to smile at her. I just wanted Y/n. Or Dolores- where is Dolores...and Tio Bruno?! I stopped looking for the when Rosa was stood in front of me, her dark brown eyes staring into mine. I smiled lightly.

We said our vows, Abuela had written mine because I refused to do it myself. And when i came to saying 'i do' Rosa said it so confidently, staring at me with an odd look in her eyes, i felt uncomfortable under her gaze. "Camilo, do you take Rosa to be your-" "NO HE DOES NOT!" I heard the familiar yell of my sister by the front door of the church.

Bruno, Dolores and Y/n were...on a horse. They all got off and Tio Bruno sent a glare towards Rosa and Abuela. "Mami, Camilo did not want to marry Rosa in the- WOAH!" His leg slipped off the horse as he wasn't really fully off the animal, i heard the small giggle of Tonito.

"What he was trying to say is, Camilo does not want to marry someone he doesn't love. He wants to marry Y/n, the girl hes been in love with since he was 13. Camilo- i heard your small whispers of how much you wanted to hug her at night" Dolores explained and i turned red in embarrassment and i heard Y/n laughing at me, along with Mirabel.

Abuela stood there with a stern look on her face, it just reminded me of the day she told me that i was going to be with Rosa and not Y/n and i felt a pang of pain in my chest. I hated that face. I hated her.

"I agree with Dolores, Camilo should be able to marry whoever he wants. Even if its Y/n- who you hate for some weird reason, i love that child! I treat her like one of my own!" Julieta steps up, walking over to Y/n and holding her close to her side. Antonio soon rushed over and hugged Y/n.

I looked at Y/n and smiled softly, Rosa wasn't too happy with this. "I'm sorry, Camilo- do you not love me anymore? You said you did yesterday!" She growled and went to push me before Isabela stepped in the way. "You touch my cousin and i will fill your insides with cactuses!" She threatened and Rosa scoffed and rolled her eyes at her.

"I'm not scared of a stupid, goody two shoes like-" before she could finish, Luisa stepped in with crossed arms. "Don't talk to MY sister like that and certainly do not lay a finger on Camilo!" She snapped and Rosa screamed like a brat before rushing out, her family following her.

Isabela and Luisa led me over to Y/n and Mirabel shoved me to her, making us hug. Y/n looked up at me and i looked down at her. I smirked and smashed my lips onto hers, she smiled into it, pulling me close by my cheeks. I held onto her waist.

3 years later, Y/n and i were married with a baby boy named Carlos and Abuela accepted us 3 months after we got back together and she passed away 1 year after that. I missed her, yeah, i was mad at her for nearly separating Y/n and i but I couldn't hate her forever. Y/n and i got our happy ending.

Thats all that really mattered.
