Lena's POV
Lena rolled over and looked at the clock, it was after 7:30 ((AM)). She glanced over at a sleeping Paul and heard a sleeping Carmen. Lena was still in shock after the night's events and tried to take her mind off Carmen. She wanted to do something for Carmen, but she has never had to deal with a situation like this. Carmen was weak right now, she had been through a trauma that will always stick with her. Lena had to help her, it was in her nature. Lena quietly pulled herself out bed and walked over to a silent Paul. She waited a few minutes before waking him, she watched him breathe in and out, she was in love. Even a sleeping Paul gave her butterflies. She leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips, at first they were still however he woke up and put a little more effort in. When she pulled away a smile came across both his and her face. Lena led Paul into the bathroom and shut the door so Carmen wouldn't hear.
"Paul, I think we should do something for Carmen." Lena stated while she fiddled with her hands.
"Well, what did you have in mind."
"I thought, well, maybe we could take her out, like for lunch, maybe breakfast." Paul looked at her funny.
"Breakfast?" Paul said.
"Well, maybe lunch." Lena said correcting herself. She knew Carmen wasn't a breakfast person and with what happen last night, Carmen would sleep till at least 12:00 ((PM)).
"I just want to do something for her," Lena stated as she wrapped her arms around Paul. "I can't even imagine how she feels right now."
"She'll get through this Lena, don't worry."
"How do you know?" Lena said feeling doubtful about Paul's comment.
"Because, she has a friend like you." Paul said squeezing her tighter.
"Well, trust me, I haven't been much of a friend lately."
"But now, you have the chance to be." Lena smiled and nestled her head on his chest. "I love you." Paul said.
"I love you too." Lena said and kissed him. Paul broke away to let Lena get dressed. Then Paul got dressed.
They decided to take a walk and let Carmen rest. They walked down the pier, his arm around her neck. They led each other to the beachfront. It was a beautiful day, the sun was bright and the humidity was sticky but perfect for a swim. She jumped on his back and he ran to the water. They were both mature and sometimes too serious, but when they were together they were the two goofiest lovebirds. Tibby would always comment on how sickening they both could both be. He put his feet in the water and ran around like a head-less chicken with Lena on his back. He went out just a bit deeper in the water and threw them both in, clothes and all. Lena came up and pushed her hair out her face and swam towards Paul. He came up and swam towards Lena. When they reached each other, she wrapped her arms tightly around Paul and kissed him gently. He broke away and started splashing Lena and she did the same. They splashed and played for a while and it was cute. Lena would occasionally glance at shore and see the old couples point and comment on how crazy the two were, being in the water and all. She was enjoying her time with Paul till she noticed a familiar face on the beach.
Carmen's POV
Carmen woke up and rolled around for a while trying to fall back to sleep, but it was useless. She looked over at an empty bed across from her and noticed the clock said it was after 10:30 ((AM)). She sat up and rubbed her eyes. She got up and walked into the bathroom. She turned on the hot water and stripped from her pajamas and stepped into the shower. She let the warm water run through her hair and over her shaken body. As she poured the shampoo from the container, she thought she heard something. Her heart began to race as she glanced out of the shower, but no one was there.
"Common Carmen, keep it together." She said to herself as she started to shampoo her hair. But when she was washing it out it got in her eyes, and she couldn't see. She gently walked under the water and let it run all over her face, but she was startled when she swore she felt someone grab her from behind. She screamed bloody horror and stopped the shower. She jumped out and grabbed her towel and wrapped it tightly around her. She stopped and looked in the mirror, she had scared herself, what she thought was somebody was truly nothing. She rubbed the mirror to clear the steam and took a good look at herself. She had a huge black and blue mark the size of Texas on her arm and her leg was bruised too. You could still see the imprint of James's hand on her cheek. Carmen eyes began to tear, how could she let this happen. She always had the sense to beware strange boys, but she let herself go for this one. The tears began to fall and even though she was alone, she could still feel his hands on her body. Carmen sobbed and sobbed until she decided to get dressed. She needed to get out of the hotel room, her thoughts were killing her. She opened the door and was blinded by the light. But she had to get out, and so she did.
