*it's been 3 weeks since the last chapter, and Dolores was feeling restless, in those three weeks the only thing mirabel has done apart from helping the community here and there. Was her seamstress Job, and Dolores was getting tired of it, all she did was sit down, read and eat. Like she was doing right now, while Mirabel made more shirts*

Mirabel:I can feel your eyes on the back of my head, you know that right?

Dolores:well I'm sorry, but all we've done is just sit here and make clothes

*Dolores said with a sigh, putting her book down. Mirabel rolled her eyes and kept working, partly regretting opening her mouth*

Mirabel:no, all you've done is sit down, I've been making clothes. And we could, go out and explore. Have an adventure, IF you admit that you liked it as much as I do

Dolores:I will admit to nothing!

*Dolores said in a huff, crossing her arms. Mirabel just hummed and went back to work, dolores looked at her angrily since she was talking under her breath, when Mirabel knew, Dolores could hear her*

Mirabel:fine, be in denial you backstabbing bitch

Dolores:oh God, you're still on that?

*Dolores said with a frustrated sigh, but Mirabel didn't respond, she kept quiet, letting Dolores stew in her own anger. They remained in awkward silence for another 2 whole hours, that is until something rare happened, Dolores started to sing, to fill the awkward silence. Dolores was singing a song she heard outside, a song that she couldn't help but resonate with*

Dolores:I had a dream I got everything I wanted Not what you'd think And if I'm being honest....

*Dolores sang softly, flipping through another page, but she wasn't even reading it anymore, her mind was busy thinking of her unrequited love*

Dolores:It might've been a nightmare
To anyone who might care Thought I could fly  So I stepped off the Golden, mm
Nobody cried

Inside Dolores brain

*Dolores was dressed beautifully in a red dress, she was hugging the arm of Mariano, sighing happily*

Dolores:Nobody even noticed I saw them standing right there Kinda thought they might care might care, might care

*Dolores looked up at Mariano, and Mariano looked down, they smiled at each other and started getting closer so they could kiss*

Dolores:I had a dream I got everything I wanted But when I wake up, I see You with me And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you

*Dolores felt nothing, she stumbled and fell, as Mariano all but disappeared, the world disappeared, Dolores was falling, and falling, into a pure black ocean, that looked like tar*

Dolores:Don't wanna lie here But you can learn to If I could change The way that you see yourself You wouldn't wonder why you hear They don't deserve you

*Dolores fell into the water, growing cold and dark, darker then she's ever seen, she tried to swim up, but the tar water grabbed a hold of her and was pulling her deeper, into its embrace*

Dolores:I tried to scream But my head was underwater They called me weak Like I'm not just somebody's daughter

*Dolores doesn't know how long she was falling but she made it to the other side, of that depression filled ocean, and looked around, to her horror, she was back when Mariano proposed to Isabela*

Dolores:Could have been a nightmare But it felt like they were right there And it feels like yesterday was a year ago But I don't wanna let anybody know

*Dolores was at the very back of the group, no one could see her, no one could see the pained expression in her face, more do the point. No one cared*

Dolores: Cause everybody wants something from me now And I don't wanna let 'em down I had a dream I got everything I wanted But when I wake up, I see
You with me

*Everyone was just happy, cheering for Mariano and Isabela while she was left there abandoned and unoticed. Dolores saw Isabela glance at her*

Dolores:And you say, "As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to If I could change

*Isabela, the same girl who used to be her best friend, the same girl that used to tell her everything. The same girl that KNEW Dolores's feelings for Mariano. And she had the gall to look at her*

Dolores:The way that you see yourself You wouldn't wonder why you hear They don't deserve you"

*Dolores frowned at her and looked another way, not wanting to see her, not wanting to even be here. But she knew that she couldn't leave, alma wouldn't let her,

Dolores:If I knew it all then would I do it again? Would I do it again? If they knew what they said would go straight to my head What would they say instead?

*so instead of crying in her room, she just had to stand there, with the madrigal trademark plastered smile, as the boy she loved, is married to what used to be her best friend*

Dolores:If I knew it all then would I do it again? Would I do it again? If they knew what they said would go straight to my head What would they say instead?

*The family moved in for a picture, from oldest to youngest with the newly engaged couple, Dolores had to stand next to the girl who betrayed her, behind the Camaras, Isabela tried to grab Dolores hand, to reach out to her, but Dolores slapped it away, and kept smiling for the Camaras*

Present

*Dolores sighed quietly to herself, taking a handkerchief and cleaning the tears that fell, remembering that awful memory, she glanced at mirabel, who thankfully for Dolores, she didn't see her cry, only listened to her sign, so that gave Dolores the perfect chance to clean herself up, and freshen up. That is, till the doorbell rang, Mirabel looked and was surprised to see alma and Lucia walking inside. And Lucia did not look happy, since all alma was doing was talk her ear off, Lucia was far too old to give a crap about, anything that she was saying*

Mirabel: hello abuela, what can I do for you?

Alma:oh, nothing. Me and Lucia have been getting a delightful conversations of all the awards You've won on your dresses

*Alma said, with pride in her tone, Dolores was being a pessimist and thought that alma only cared because it made the family looked good. Mirabel on the other hand was being an optimist and genuinely believes that alma is just proud of her, which one is right?...... So anyways, Mirabel glanced at Lucia and she looked miserable, one can only guess how much alma talked her ear off*

Mirabel:I see. It's really not that many awards, I've lost my fair share of competitions too. Hell the biggest competition I've ever been in was in Italy, and I didn't even make it to the preliminary rounds

Alma:still to be invited to compete is honor enough

*Alma said petting Mirabel's shoulder, both Lucia and Dolores rolled there eyes so much, there eyes ended up at the back of there head.*

Dolores:riiiiight, like you wouldn't have been disappointed in Mirabel for losing

Alma:....before yes, I would've been absolutely disappointed. But that's my problem, that I'm trying to fix, but now? I'm just proud that she impressed people so much that she got invited to a very exclusive competition in another continent

*Alma said honestly, Dolores didn't respond just went back to her magazine, while Lucia went to see at the works Mirabel has been doing*

Mirabel:I know, I'm very Fortunate. But that wasn't my only one I've been on, I've been to Paris, Japan, Spain, Puerto Rico,

Dolores:we get it, you USED to travel a lot

*Dolores said grumpy, Mirabel rolled her eyes, although her's had a smirk to accompany it. Alma looked at the two confused, and looked at Mirabel for an explanation*

Mirabel:she's all bend out of shape, cause all I've been doing is my job. Since I refuse to go out and explore until she admits that she likes it just as much as I do

Dolores:I. Do. Not.

*Dolores said through gritted teeth, but the crinkled magazine, and slight pink on her cheeks, told a different story. Alma couldn't help but chuckle with a smile, though her eyes were somewhere else*

Alma:ah, your first fight, now that brings me back to when me and Pedro first started going out, oh those were the days

*Alma said softly, Mirabel gave her a sad smile, alma had her pity. Dolores on the other hand had no pity to give, to the woman who took Mariano away from her, and married her off to her own cousin. So there she had to sit, having to hear alma ask Mirabel, question after question, and Mirabel answering without complaint, it pissed Dolores off, how quickly Mirabel just accepted this arrangement. It pissed her off even more, that she feels like she's the only one still angry with all of this, the only one who still can see how messed up it is, to be married to her own cousin, who is underaged. Angry wasn't the right word, frustrated. Dolores was frustrated, but sadly she was a madrigal. And one thing all  madrigal struggled with, was talking about their feelings. So Dolores just kept her mouth shut, and kept reading*
