"Lena, where have you been?!" her mother shouted at her as she closed the door.

"I was up at the grove for a couple hours." Lena answered honestly.

"Doing WHAT!?" her mother yelled.

"Just thinking, why?" Lena asked.

"You should have been home hours ago, your father and I have been worried to death about you, next time let us know where you venture off too." Her mother sternly stated.

"I'm sorry." Lena apologized.

"Lena, I hate to do this" her father announced, "but you are grounded for the next week."

"WHAT!? WHY!?" Lena started to yell.

"Because, venturing off outside at the crack of dawn…"

"It wasn't dawn! It was around 8:30 ((AM))!"

"You also just ventured out without letting anyone know where you were going off too for the last couple of hours…"

"I didn't know I was planning on going to the grove, I just did."

"Why though" her mother joined in.

"Because, I had a lot on my mind, and I just needed to think."

"Lena, trust us, grounding you is for the best, maybe if you stay inside for a while you'll learn to miss the outside and alert people to where you are going the next time."

"Oh common mom, you know that I normally announce where I am going, and just because I slip up once you are going to punish me, its not fair."

"What's not fair is that tone of voice, go up stairs to your room now!" Lena's parents commanded.

Lena just stormed up stairs and once she reached the door to her room she slammed it as hard as she could.

"Well if it isn't Miss Lena, finally coming home to present herself" Carmen laughed. "And where have you been all this time?"

"I was out at the grove thinking." Lena said calmly.

"What grove?" Carmen questioned.

"Oh, that's right I didn't show you it yet, umm, its just this little place where I got to think and paint sometimes."

Lena sat herself on Carmen's bed and just stared out the window, thinking of Kostos. Carmen caught notice of Lena's little zone-out. "Hello, earth to Lena."

"Oh, sorry." Lena gave a quirky smile.

"I think you did more than just think, up at this grove." Carmen stated with much interest.

Lena couldn't help herself she just smiled. "Well, Kostos was there."

"What? And what did you do, you didn't like hit him did you?"

"What, no, why would I hit him?"

"I don't know, you were just like really pissed off this morning."

"No, I didn't hit him, we just talked, for once actually, I got to be myself around him."

"Really, and how did you act as yourself?"

"I just talked to him, like I would talk to one of you guys, he acted like the Kostos I knew, or know."

"And I take it, that, you are having second thoughts."

"What? Second thoughts about what?" Lena asked.

"About you and Paul." Carmen seriously said.

"No, I don't have second thoughts, Paul is my boyfriend, I really like Paul." Lena said unsure of what she thought.

"But not like you love Kostos." Carmen stated.

"No, it's not like that," Lena thought for a second "I mean its not." Carmen just stared at Lena hoping if she gave it a minute, what Lena said would make sense. "I mean, Kostos was my first love, you know how first loves are."

"Well actually, I don't even know what like is, you know I have the worst luck with guys." Carmen joked.

"Well, I don't know, I guess there is just a part of me that wants to still be with Kostos." Lena smiled, the thought of her and Kostos back together made her tremble with excitement, but then again she also felt fear. Fear of a broken heart, one that was so painful before.

"Well what about the other half of Lena, what does that half say."

"She's telling me that I am once again setting myself up for disappointment like before." Lena confessed with a sour look.

All of a sudden there was that same noise both girls had heard before…..Click…..Click….Click….
