…I'm in such a great mood to write…I had a great day today…which is something that hasn't happened in a while…so here it goes…chapter 26! ENJOY!
Carmen's POV
Carmen rolled over and woke up around 9:00 ((AM)). She sat up and rubbed her eyes trying to wake up. When she could finally see clearly she noticed that Paul was gone. Paul left already? Carmen thought. She got up and walked over to her suitcase and pulled out a pair of wrinkled jeans and a pink T-shirt. She went into the bathroom and shut the door. She changed, brushed her teeth, and then brushed her hair. When she was done she walked out of the bathroom and discovered Paul sitting at the table with a bunch of snacks in his hands.
"I didn't even hear you come in." Carmen said, a little startled that she didn't notice him.
"I had a key." Paul said pulling out his string of keys. "Come, sit, eat, we have food." Paul said slapping the chair next to him.
Carmen walked over to notice that breakfast consisted of a bag of Oreo's, Potato chips, and a package of Starburst's.
"What a healthy breakfast." Carmen said grabbing the package of Oreo's.
"Well I only had so much money." Paul said.
"No, I know." Carmen said not trying to insult Paul or anything. Carmen sat down and began to eat. Paul sat there deep in thought Carmen assumed. He was probably tying to think of a way to say he was sorry for blowing up at Lena last night.
"Well, I am going to head out." Paul said, grabbing the package of Starburst's with him.
"Hey!" Carmen shouted sticking her hands out for some Starburst's. Paul opened the package and gave her about 5. Carmen smiled, "Thank you big brother." Carmen laughed. Paul smiled back as he walked out the door to go get Lena back.
Lena's POV
Lena woke up after 10:00 ((AM)). She felt so lifeless and so powerless. She had no energy to move, however she had to get up because her stomach commanded it. She slowly got up and rubbed her eyes. She started out the door to go downstairs. As she walked downstairs she could hear her parents.
"I am really worried about her honey." She could her father say.
"She is a big girl, she'll get over this." Her mother said defending her Lena.
"Sweetheart, I think maybe we should leave early to go home." Her father paused for a moment, looking towards the stairs to see Lena. "Lena, we were just talking about you."
"Daddy, I don't want to leave." She told her father. As much as she hated being here at this moment she wasn't going to just leave.
"But sweetie I think its for the best." Her father said.
"Dad I can't leave now." Lena said "and I won't." Lena turned to go back upstairs. She suddenly didn't feel so hungry. Instead she did something that made her partially forget the pain she was feeling. She walked over and opened the bottom drawer. Inside was her sketch books, paints, pencils, tracing paper, crayons, markers, colored pencils, and paint brushes. She took out her painting supplies and set up her easel. She took out her paints and picked a firm brush and began to paint. At first she wasn't sure where to start or what even to paint but in no time her hands took over. Pushing paint back and forth and putting different strokes here and there. In less than an hour she had created a masterpiece. When she first looked at it she was clueless to what she created but then she took a closer look and what she saw was herself. The painting was meshed with all different colors that collided into one another. It showed how Lena felt, at the top was this pure color that slowly got lost on the way down. Lena began to tear, she missed the pure Lena, the Lena that was love less and felt great. Not this messed up, confused, broken hearted Lena.
"Lena, someone is here to see you." Lena's mother yelled up with an excitement in her voice. Who could it be? Lena wondered. Maybe it was Carmen coming to say "Lena I told you so." Or maybe it was Paul, maybe he forgot to say something last night to her. Maybe it was Kostos coming to see if Lena changed her mind.
She slowly got up and walked downstairs. It was Paul at the door. Lena couldn't help but go weak in the knees. She loved him more than anything. She wanted to scream it to him in the face and just kiss him. But Lena figured that Paul was here to make sure she knew it was truly over, however she had a little hope that maybe he came to say he still wanted her. She walked down the stairs and walked outside to Paul and shut the door behind her.
"Hi." Paul said, looking into Lena's eyes.
"Hi." Lena said, she couldn't help it but a half smile came to her face.
"Listen," Paul said taking Lena's hand in his, "I know I was angry last night and said some mean things and I know that it hurt you." Lena frowned she was confused she had no idea where this was going. "But, when I woke up this morning I realized something." Lena prayed that he would say what she wanted to hear for so long. "I realized that I can't live without you, you are unlike anyone I have ever met and I love you Lena and I hope that you can forgive me and look pass all my stubbornness and take me back." Paul looked at her with sympathetic hopeful eyes.
Lena pulled away from Paul with a confused look on her face, did she really want to get herself back into this love mess. Did she really need Paul?
But Lena knew she couldn't live without him either and that she loved him more then all the money, happiness, anything in the world. She brought the biggest smile to her face and jumped onto Paul. "I love you!" she shouted pulling away from her hug giving him a passionate kiss. And then kissed him again, and again, and again, and again, until they almost fell over.
"Well Lena," Paul said pulling away one more time, "I love you too!" She kissed him again.
They stood their for about 20 minutes, in each others arms. Lena knew this was the best thing in the world. She was happy Paul forgave her. The next thing to fix was her friendship with Carmen.
