--Hey everyone…thanks for all the reviews…I hope you like how the story is going…I am working on some new ideas that I think you all might enjoy…. Btw…I keep getting a lot of comments on how different Kostos is in the last chapter…well I purposely made him that way…because he had changed I think in chapter 4…In his letter he states that a lot has changed…so yeah he changed and well so did everything else…just trying to show you how I was going…anyways…enjoy chapter 8!!—
Lena quickly ran up the stairs as fast as she could so that no one could stop her. As soon as she got to the top she ran straight into her and Carmen's room. She slammed the door and quickly locked it, she knew that her mom would probably want to talk and Lena wasn't ready for that, she needed to chat with Carmen first. Carmen turned around startled to see Lena. Carmen was dressed and just fixing her hair, but as soon as she saw Lena she put down the brush down and ran over to see what was going on.
"Lena what's the matter, you look like you just ran a race." Carmen chuckled to herself until she saw that Lena was in tears. "Lenny, what's the matter?"
"I hate him" Lena whispered.
"OH, Lena, why, what happened?" Carmen questioned.
"God Carmen, he has changed so much, I feel like I don't even know him." Lena said as she wiped away some of the tears.
"Why, what did he say to you."
"He just told me how fate brought us together and that I shouldn't try to fight it and how that…" Lena paused, "and how he doesn't have a baby and how he doesn't have a fiancée anymore and went on about how we are suppose to be with each other and so on."
"What? I thought you said that…" Carmen began but Lena interrupted.
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Lena stopped to catch her breathe, she needed a moment, so much had happened within the last half hour that still hadn't caught up with her yet. "I freaked out on him…." Carmen started blankly at her. "I lost it, I said things I didn't mean…I said mean things."
"Lena, you have the heart of gold, I sure you didn't say anything too mean." Lena gave Carmen the stupid look.
"I haven't told you what I said…I got so mad, I think I just started yelling things at him that I have kept inside for so long."
"Like what?"
"I said that if it wasn't for his mistake we still could have been with each other, and I went on about how he told me he loved me but still slept with her and yeah."
"Wow, Lena, but you couldn't help it, you were upset, he put you on the spot."
"Still, oh lord, he probably hates me now."
"Lena he could never hate you."
"Yeah he could, Kostos has always been the calm and sane one, I've always been the crazy one. But now he is just different, he acted like a lovesick puppy and then when I put him on the spot he just changed the subject, I know that Kostos would've never done that, and he sure as hell wouldn't talk like a lovesick person either."
"Well, maybe, he just missed you for so long, and all he wanted to do was tell you things." Lena glanced over, " Or maybe he went crazy."
"I told him about Paul." Lena stated as she stared at Carmen.
"And?"
"He just freaked out more. I am so messed up right now."
"You know what you need to help you?"
"What?"
"Well a nice girls night out, of course it won't be like when we are all together, but I think that we can manage." Lena laughed, this is what she needed, Carmen, her best friend to help her out.
"You know what I need more?"
"Chocolates and a bunch of sad movies" Carmen chuckled, one of Carmen's favorite things to do to get over boys, was to buy herself a box of chocolates and cry out her emotions while watching sad movies. After that she was cured.
"No, I wish Paul was here."
"Oh, how come, I thought you were torn?" Carmen stated dramatically.
"I guess, I guess I just miss him, I just need someone to talk to and someone to hold."
"Aww, that's sweet, well I bet he misses you too."
"I hope."
All of a sudden there was a knock at the door, it was Lena's grandmother telling the girls that breakfast was ready.
Carmen of course jumped for joy because she was starved, however Lena just sat there. She wasn't really hungry, she came to realize that she really missed Paul.
"Are you coming?" Carmen asked.
"Umm, you go, I'll be down in a little while."
"Are you sure, its Greek food?" Carmen laughed.
"I think I'll pass." Lena chuckled.
"Suite yourself, but you don't know what your missing."
Carmen hoped out the room and down the stairs. Lena ran over to her suite case and pulled out a piece of letter paper. She carefully walked over to the window and began to write her letter.
Dear Paul,
I miss you so much. These last couples of weeks have been so crazy. Carmen's here if you didn't know already which is great, someone to hang out with so I don't get bored. But I really miss you, this morning was really difficult and I wish you were here to help me through it. I thought this summer would be easy, but it's just like a puzzle. I hope your summer is more exciting than mine. I am so confused about everything, like when I opened my paints to start painting I starred at a blank sheet of canvas for almost two hours just thinking of what to paint. That never happens, that only happened when, never mind. I just really need you, write back fast. I need your opinion, I need you words.
Miss you terribly,
Lena
Lena folded up the paper and stuck it in an envelope and walked out the door. She walked into the kitchen and greeted the whole family and asked for a stamp, her grandmother got one out of the drawer and handed it to Lena.
"Lena, I really would like to talk a little latter on." Her mother told Lena.
"Sure mom." Lena answered its not like she didn't know what her mother was going to say to her.
However Lena just walked out of the kitchen and opened the front door and ran to the mailbox. She opened the door ready to throw the envelope in before she hesitated. Did she really miss Paul as much as she wrote in the letter? She thought about him, but not as much as Kostos. Lena changed her mind, she closed the lid, and she slipped the envelope in her back pocket. Lena needed some alone time to clear her mind. So much had happened she needed to grasp. So Lena decided to take a walk to the grove, the place where she normally would have gone to clear her mind before. So she started up the path, until she saw the grove in sight.
--Well I hope you like it, I have some really exciting stuff coming up in the next couple of chapters, so keep reading and reviewing--
