Go live your way Part 2

Ohne Titel Teil13

Juanma had himself under control immediately. He jumped forward and caught Lupe. He pulled her away from the slope. Juanma sank to the floor. He held his side.
Lupe was lying on the floor and neither said anything. Juanma's hand trembled. He took a few deep breaths and tried to get up. A sharp pain ran through him. He groaned.
"Did you hurt yourself" asked Lupe and sat up. Juanma shook his head. Lupe got up slowly. "Neither did I," she said. Her voice sounded uncertain. She knew she had gone too far.
"Come on, let's go over to the tree," she said, pointing to the tree under which Juanma had been sitting. She held out her hand to Juanma.
"I can't get up right now," said Juanma.
"What about you?" Asked Lupe.
"Nothing just forget it" Juanma gritted her teeth and slowly stood up.
"I'm sorry," said Lupe.
"Lupe what was that supposed to mean. You knew exactly what could have happened to yourself."
"I had everything under control, it was such a great feeling, so much adrenaline in my body. I was scared because you flinched," said Lupe, slightly defiant. Juanma looked at her, preferring not to comment.
"You hurt yourself," said Lupe as she watched Juanma.
"I've had pain every now and then for a few days and they're a little worse right now, but I'm fine again," he took the piece of paper with the riddle.
"Please don't tell the others about it," Lupe said quietly.
Juanma looked at her again and looked back at the note. "Juanma? Did you hear?" Juanma, annoyed, dropped the note.
"Lupe what did you think. Why are you doing that"
"I wanted ... you were only interested in the stupid riddle. I thought we'd talk if we did this together. I wanted to know if ... if you're worried" When Juanma looked at her, she said: "Alvaro has Mia, you have Zoe. Sofie is with Fede and Agostina with Martin. I just miss you. I wanted ... that you hold me tight. Take care of me."
"But you can't force it. What kind of confirmation do you have now. I wouldn't have let anyone falling down" Juanma immersed herself again in the puzzle and then entered coordinates. In fact, they miscalculated the first solution.

Mia and Fede were already at the fifth station. They were a good team and got on very well. On the next note was the last stop to the treasure. Fede was happy. "Maybe we'll be the first," he said with a laugh. They had solved the puzzle quickly too.
Juanma and Lupe had also started moving and met Alvaro and Martina. Alvaro noticed that the mood between Lupe and Juanma was at zero. They walked a little together and although Alvaro's GPS then pointed in the other direction, he and Martina stayed with them.

Martina and Lupe were a bit behind the boys and Alvaro said "Is everything ok with you?"
Juanma nodded and said "yes, we miscalculated on a slip of paper, but otherwise ..." Alvaro looked at Juanma carefully.
"Ok I didn't see that we have to go about in the other direction. We'll meet at the destination, okay?"
"Sure, captain, "said Juanma. Lupe caught up again.
"Did you tell him something" she asked. "No," said Juanma in monosyllables.
"Now don't be angry anymore," said Lupe.
"But I am. What do you mean, how I would have felt if you had fallen in front of my eyes. If I hadn't caught you anymore. Thought about that before?"
"I wasn't even thinking," Lupe admitted. She stopped. "I don't go any further when you are like this"
"then I'll tell the others what you've done" said Juanma and went on.
Lupe caught up with him again. "I can't do more than say I'm sorry"
"No, that's right. But I can't talk to you right now." Juanma was just mad. The shock was deep in his bones and he was still in pain. He would have loved to go back.

Agos and Nico were there first. There was really a box hidden. Nico found it in a fetching tree stump. A lock with a combination of numbers was attached to it, which could only be opened by a riddle.
"Shall we wait until everyone is here and then open it together?" said Nico.
"Mmm but we were here first."
"Yes, but it's cooler when everyone is there. Or we can take it with us and open it at the camp."
"No let's wait".
Alvaro and Martina arrived next. Nico showed Alvaro where the box was. Then Simon and Lola were there as next with Tobi and Clara. Lupe and Juanma arrived at the others shortly afterwards. Then Fede and Mia followed by Martin and Zoe.
Mia and Alvaro fell around their necks and Zoe went to Juanma and took his hand. When everyone was there, Alvaro said "Let's open the box" Nico entered the numbers.
When he opened the box there were sweets and cinema coupons for everyone. The students were happy and distributed the nerve food directly. When Juanma didn't take anything, Zoe asked "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm just a little knocked out, we got lost once".
"We should go back, the way back will take time again." said Alvaro. Mia stood with Zoe and Juanma and Alvaro went to them. Mia hugged him. "It was fun with Fede, but it would have been even better with you."

"I heard that," said Fede with a laugh. Mia patted him on the back " as if you hadn't missed Sofie "

Zoe told the others that Martin had out the puzzles quickly, but they had taken a long break. Alvaro said they had passed a lake and wanted to ask Ramiro if they could go there the next day given the good weather.
