Last time

Mirabel nodded yes with a sniffle. Julieta was about to touch her daughter but Dolores slapped her hand away hard and gave her aunty a cold glare*

Dolores:don't! Touch her...

Dolores growled out as she took Mirabel with her, walking pass the other children madrigal confused on all the screaming and even more so seeing Dolores and Mirabel running out of the house both with tears coming down there faces

Now

Mirabel:Dolores stop I said stop dammit!!

Mirabel said stopping in her tracks, once Dolores stopped whatever adrenaline she was running off stopped with her as she started breathing heavily, her body started to tremble, when Mirabel went in to touch her shoulder Dolores took a deep breath and gave the loudest scream of frustration she has ever given not giving a damn if she bursts her eardrums, which she did. Mirabel turned her around and slammed something inside her mouth, Dolores was confused until the taste came it. Dolores sighed and ate Julieta's arepa fixing her eardrums and living only the dried blood*

Mirabel:better?

Mirabel said in the softest tone she could managed. Dolores just shrugged. Mirabel looked around at where they were. She grabbed Dolores and took the lead*

Dolores: where are you taking me...?

Dolores said her voice slightly horsed, but Mirabel didn't say a word. They made it to a side of town Dolores never been, Mirabel took them inside a building and Dolores was even more surprised at what is was*

Dolores"since when does encanto have a library?"

Dolores saw Mirabel Wave at the librarian and she waved back as they walked further inside the small building sitting down on a table*

Mirabel:ok...ok we...we have to talk about this right?

Dolores: what's there to talk about? Our parents betrayed us and now we're gonna get married before your even 18

Dolores muttered bitterly hugging herself feeling even more angry since now her little dream of confessing to Mariano is pretty much dead. Mirabel winced looking as equally distraught but she forced herself to smile or at the very least not look sad*

Mirabel:yes. Yes we're gonna get married for... honestly I don't even know why

Dolores:because abuela has gone senile is the theory I'm going with

Mirabel snorted a little as Dolores looked around*

Dolores:since...since when has there been a library in encanto? I don't remember one when I was a kid

Mirabel:oh, well it was build like 2 years ago some of the construction workers that go outside the encanto wanted there children to have a library to expand there education so they build one, every couple of months they come with new books for the place

Dolores:ok...then how come you know about this place? How come the rest of us didn't?

Mirabel shrugged as she pursed her lips*

Mirabel:not my fault you all don't listen, I've been telling you guys about this place for over a year before I just gave up. And I know about this place since I helped, well kinda I just brought the workers food and took care of there kids while they built this place

Mirabel said she didn't noticed the look of guilt Dolores gave her*

Dolores:I...I'm sorry, I should've listen to you it's just...

Mirabel: everyone does it so why would you be different? Not like it hurts me, well not anymore at least I...kinda just got used to it

Mirabel said with a shrugged, Dolores looked at her she could see Mirabel's eyes were glossed over with sadness*

Dolores:we...we really screwed up huh?

Mirabel;my fault for not getting a gift so it's fine

Dolores:wha...Mirabel that wasn't your fault!

Dolores yelled but her yelled was still like a small mouse. Mirabel hummed not seeing it that way*

Mirabel: all of you got a gift even Antonio who was born after me got a gift making me an outlier, so I must've done something to not received a gift like the rest of you

Mirabel said, it scared Dolores. Not what Mirabel said but the way she said it, she wasn't sad she wasn't angry she was neutral as if what she said was nothing more then mere facts, like the sun will always rise again tomorrow so will Mirabel be forever giftless, Dolores tried to argue with her*

Dolores:Mirabel don't even think...

Mirabel:can we change the subject please? I...I would rather not talk about that day

Dolores opened and closed her mouth a few times before sighing and nodding*

Dolores: there's... there is something I do want to know. How...how did you know about...about my feelings towards Mariano?

Mirabel:huh? You mean you were keeping it a secret?

Dolores looked dumbfounded, Mirabel scratched her chin as she thought about it*

Mirabel:well...it was kinda obvious, you would look at him whenever he would recite his poems to whoever would hear them, you would sigh his name and repeat set poems as you walked around Casita, I saw you one time write his names in a plate of peas

Dolores:ok I get it!

Dolores blushing more and more embarrassed, Mirabel snorted as she tried to contain her laughter*

Mirabel:if that was you keeping a secrets then your in big trouble

Mirabel laughed to herself a little before she calmed down her face looking a little sad looking down at the table*

Mirabel:...I... I'm sorry Dolores if...if I would've just ranaway at Antonio's birthday this wouldn't be hap...

Dolores;w... what did you just say?

Mirabel:that I should've...

Dolores;I heard what you said! You were planning on running away?!

Dolores screamed, but for Dolores it came as soft talking, Mirabel played with her fingers not meeting her gaze*

Mirabel:yes, but I was too much of a coward to actually go through with it. This is all my fault...

Mirabel said as she covered her face. Dolores was shocked, no that's not the right word she was horrified at what she just heard, she grabbed Mirabel's wrist and took her hands out of her face, Mirabel winced slightly at the pressure Dolores was giving. she looked at Dolores at flinched at the scary serious face Dolores was giving her*

Dolores: no. Don't you dare say that, don't you EVER say that Mirabel, none of this is yourself, and never ever think about running away

Mirabel;b..but things would be so much better is I wasn't in the way

Dolores;did things get better when Bruno left?

Mirabel opened her mouth and then closed it with a slight frown*

Mirabel: I'm different.

Dolores:yes you are different, your a younger sister, a cousin, basically Antonio's second mother even if my mom will never admit it, how do you think Antonio would've felt if you were gone?

Mirabel: he'll...

Mirabel wanted to say that Antonio would've been fine but she couldn't say it, she knew he wouldn't be ok, Dolores slowly let go of Mirabel's wrist and gave her a hug*

Dolores:I need you to promise me you won't do it Mirabel...

Dolores slowly released Mirabel wrists and placed her hand on mirabel's chin lifting it to eye level*

Dolores:Mirabel, promise me. Promise me you won't disappear like Bruno, promise me you will never leave us...leave...leave me one day, as much as we may not like your still someone i care about, i love you Mirabel, not like how the our parents want. Your my cousin and I love you are extremely important do me so promise me you'll stay...

Dolores said if softly, mirabel felt a small lump on her throat as again it was so long since anyone in her family showed that they cared about her in such a way. Mirabel slowly nodded before she returned the hug, but that wasn't enough for dolores she needed more, she needed to hear it*

Dolores;no.Use words please. I need to hear you say those words I can't accept anything else

Dolores said with a slightly desperate tone*

Dolores"i wonder if this is how Tia Julieta felt with tio bruno on the final days they saw each other"

Dolores thought, she was taken out of her thoughts when she heard mirabel sighing softly*

Mirabel:i...i promise, I promise dolores. I promise I won't disappear like Bruno did...

Mirabel said softly, Dolores took a breath of relief she didn't know she was holding, they let go of the hug and both got up*

Dolores:I still don't want to go home...

Mirabel; there's this new ice cream shop that opened like a month ago, we can go there before going home if you want

Dolores:god how many things does our family doesn't know about this town

Mirabel;kinda the side affect of being at the top of the mountain, you can't see the beauty at the bottom

Dolores:since when did you get so philosophical?

Dolores said with a smirk, Mirabel snorted and playfully pushed her as they left*

Dolores:We need to move your stuff to my...well our room when we get back home...

Mirabel; yeah, that's a problem for future Mirabel and Dolores. We are present Mirabel and Dolores, and present Mirabel and Dolores are gonna get themselves enough ice cream to make future us hate us for eating so much

Mirabel said, her bright and bubbly personality coming back of only just a little, Dolores saw Mirabel smiling and it made a small smile come out of her face*
