Lena slowly closed the bedroom door from behind her. She grabbed the railing and walked down the stairs. As she walked into the kitchen she grabbed the kettle off the stove and went to the sink and poured some water into the kettle. She placed it back on the stove and turned on the gas. As the water boiled she walked over to the cabinet and pulled out the box of tea bags. She grabbed a bag placed the box back into the cabinet and sat down at the table. Lena sat there thinking of everything. She mostly thought about what was happening to her. She changed, it wasn't Kostos or Carmen, it was Lena. Lena was blaming all the changes on everyone else but herself. Lena began to cry, she didn't realize how Carmen was right. She cheated on Paul, WITH Kostos. How could she do that! She thought to herself while waiting for the kettle to whistle. Lena wished Paul was here, she missed him more than anything. Lena wiped the tears from her eyes. All of a sudden, Lena heard something come from behind her.
"Ahhh!" Lena cried out.
"Lena, its ok, calm down its just me." Her mother called from behind her.
"You scared me." Lena whispered.
"I am sorry, I tried to be quiet." Her mother told her. " What are you doing up so late anyways?" her mother questioned.
"I had a lot on my mind and I just needed some time to think."
"Mind if I join you?" Lena's mother asked.
Lena motioned for her to sit. Lena heard the kettle whistle. She got up and grabbed a coffee cup and turned off the gas. She slowly grabbed the kettle handle and poured the hot water into the cup. Lena then placed the kettle back on the stove and placed the tea bag into the hot water. She sat back down with her mother. There was awkward silence at first however her mother began to talk….
"So, are you having fun?"
"Yeah, but I miss Bridget and Tibby though, but at least I have Carmen here to keep me company." Lena smiled as she took a sip of her tea.
"I saw you this morning with Kostos, what was that about?"
Lena paused, she wasn't sure how to answer that, "He just informed me about what happened here while I was gone."
Lena's mother nodded. "So how is he."
"He's good."
"And what about his fiancée?" her mother reluctantly asked.
Lena paused she was uncomfortable at that question, but she stilled answered it. "Well, actually that didn't work out." She said as she drank her tea.
"Oh, that's awful."
Lena nodded, it truly was she thought. There was silence again.
"Lena, you're not thinking about getting back together with him are you?" her mother asked.
Lena felt extremely uncomfortable at that point, her mother just flat out asked her like that. But Lena knew that her mother was only concerned for Lena.
"No, I don't think that that's going to work out." Lena told her mother. In a way just saying that she didn't want to be with Kostos made her truly realize that she REALLY didn't want to be with Kostos. She was only with him because she missed Paul, she just missed love itself.
"Well, I am glad that you aren't with him, I like that Paul kid back home." Her mother said, bringing a smile to Lena's face.
"Mom," Lena paused waiting for her moms attention. Once she had it she continued, "I really miss Paul."
"Aww, sweetheart, that's normal." Her mom said as she got up and hugged her daughter. "I am sure he misses you too." Lena pulled back with a smile but her eyes began to fill up with tears again, so she decided to exit before her mom saw her.
"I am really tired, I think I am going to call it a night and head upstairs." Lena said as she placed her dirty cup into the sink and filled it with water.
"Ok, goodnight sweetie." Lena's mother said as she gave her daughter one last hug and a kiss goodnight.
Lena headed up the stairs, filled with tears. How could she do this to Paul. Paul loved her, even her mother loved Paul which was a surprise. Lena had kissed Kostos and tricked him too, what was she thinking. Once Lena reached the bedroom she slowly opened the door trying not to wake Carmen up. Lena jumped into bed and pulled the covers over her body and glanced for the last time at the clock it was after 3:00 ((AM)).
