Hey everyone….I see a lot of people liked the last chapter…I am glad…lol…well…I know you are probably dying to know what is ganna happen so here is chapter 21! ENJOY!
-Carmen's POV
Carmen walked into the check in/out office in the motel area. She paid the man for the room and got her keys. Room 259. She quickly found the room put her baggage's down and sat on the bed. She looked for the remote for the TV but couldn't find it. She was alone. She thought many times about getting up and walking back to Lena's to apologize, but she just sat there. The silent room lit up when Carmen's cell began to ring. She pulled the phone out and looked at the caller id listing, it said airport. She pulled it open and answered the call.
"Hey, how was your flight?" Carmen asked.
"Bumpy and really windy, did you talk to Lena earlier?"
"Well yeah, sorta."
"Sorta?"
"I'll explain once you get here."
"Where is the motel again?"
"Just tell the driver 'Oceana'…ok?"
"Ok."
"Carmen you sound upset, is everything ok?"
"Yeah, like I said before I'll explain once you get here."
"Ok."
"Well I see you in a little while."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye." Carmen said as she pulled the phone away from her ear and clicked it shut.
Carmen was filled with so much emotion. The summer before she put he mother and herself through misery, but in the end she fixed it. When her glass piggy bank from her Nana broke she easily glued it together with no sweat. But to repair a broken friendship that was about to explode was way over her head. She opened her suitcase and put her clothes into the drawer. She then grabbed her purse with the pair of keys and headed to meet her guest at the 'Oceana'.
-Lena's POV
Lena was still sitting on the couch when the family came home from the outing in the city.
"Lena, why are all the lights off?" there was silence " Oh sweetie what happened?" her mom said as Effie ran upstairs, her dad when in he kitchen, and grandma headed towards bed. It was just her and her mother.
"Oh mom!" Lena said as she hugged her mom.
Lena always felt a little awkward either asking or telling her mom private things, but Lena had so many thoughts they went way over head, she had to talk to someone.
"I made a mess of everything, Carmen hates me, she moved out by the way, and then Kostos, I lied to him, and Paul, I lied to him too, what's happened to me." Lena said as she cried to her mother.
"Oh sweetie, you are just growing up, trust me it gets worse." Her mother chuckled but Lena was still in tears.
"Sweetheart, Carmen may be upset and even left, but you know she is going to come back, you two have always had you differences, but somehow you both come together." Her mother was right, Lena and Carmen have always had their differences, Carmen would wear a strapless too, too short dress while Lena would wear her long skirt and plain blouse. Carmen would be the social bug while Lena sat in the corner of the room with her book. Her mother interrupted her thoughts and began again…
"But what is the deal with Kostos, I thought you were over that?"
"Yeah me too," Lena chuckled but not in a funny way, "But you know how summer love is mom."
"Yeah, I guess I do." They both laughed that time.
"But it's not funny when I have Paul, who I know cares for me a lot." Lena looked down, in a confused look.
"Oh, I remember the first time I met Paul," Her mother said trying to cheer Lena up, " it was at Christmas time, when he stayed with Carmen. We had him for dinner I thought you were going to die." Lena laughed she remembered. "Your face was so red."
"His too." Lena added.
"But then I saw that within a few minutes both of you looked fine again." Her mother smiled. "But I could tell the way you both looked at each other that you both had the love thing down." Lena smiled, she never really realized it before but her mother did have a point, it was the first time ever that she realized that she loved Paul, it was funny how her mom randomly picks out that moment.
"If he loves you like I know he does, he will forgive you." Lena smiled at her mother's comment. When she tells Paul what she did he is going to freak, may even want to kill Kostos, but in the end, he will forgive her and still love her. Of course the whole trust thing will be shady on Lena's behalf but it's better than no Paul at all.
"Thanks mom." Her mother smiled toward her mature daughter, "I really needed this."
"Well I think I did to, you have been so secretive lately I felt like a stranger towards you." Lena hugged her mother, her mother kissed the top of Lena's head. "Now, I think you should go talk to Carmen, I don't want her in a motel."
"Ok." Lena said as she gave her mom one last kiss and headed out the door.
…Well I hope you like…I wonder who Carmen is going to meet…What happens when Lena apologizes?…I may have a new chapter up by tomorrow…unsure though…but keep REVIEWING!
