• 3 Weeks Later •

{ Carmen's POV }  

Not once have I bumped into Harry. Sometimes I'd even search in the night and I can't find him. Did he leave? Did he get rescued?

Did he suffer?

Roy and I were on good terms, I guess you could say we 'did it' once, and it was nice. Me and Roy have been really great friends. And I mean real close.

Honestly, I couldn't think right now cause Roy told me someone was looking for me.

I went down the ladder, and climbed down the tree. I saw the figure that approached me. It can't be him, can it?

His green eyes met mine, his world lit up. "Carmen..." He was astonished how different I looked in 3 weeks. His voice is deeper, and his hair grew out a little more.

"Harry..." I started, "Hi." I said.

I glance at Roy. "I guess I'll be up here.. Call me if you need anything Carmen." he smiled and left.

I sat on a rock nearby.

Harry did the same. "Who's that?" Harry whispered. "Roy, a close friend of mine." a smile crept on my face.

"Where have you been?" Harry asked. "Here. It's really nice and all-" I started to rumble. "Carmen, Ive been looking for you forever. I was worried sick. I thought-" Harry complained.

"Y'know how worried I was?" I paused, emphasizing the I and cutting off Harry's sentence.

"I had questions in my mind like 'he probably was already rescued without me' but then, I thought you didn't care. You didn't seem like you would."

Whispering the last sentence.  

Harry's face saddened.

"Carmen-" His voice was soft. "Don't. Please, you could stay here for the night. I'll ask Roy." I went up the tree and Roy sat on his bed. "Hey Carmen, how'd things go?" Roy asks.

Thats one of the things I love about him.  

"Um, I was gonna ask if Harry could stay here for the night? Just for one night, I'll have him gone by tomorrow morning." I plead. "Sure. You can sleep with me." Roy winks. "Okay." I say playfully.

I climb down the tree, and Harry still stands. "Yeah for one night. You'll be gone by tomorrow." I say. "Thank you!" Harry shouts.

We head upstairs, and I show Harry which rooms which. "Okay, Thanks a lot Carmen." Harry smiles. "No problem. I'll be in Roy's room if you need anything."

• Tomorrow •

' Hey babe (; out to find food, you can show Harry around n stuff. Get ready , I'm taking you out to dinner xxx Roy '

I smile, putting the note down and running to the kitchen to see Harry. "Hey Harry, I'll be out tonight. Feel free to have the place to yourself. I'll be getting ready." Harry's emerald eyes focused on mines. He stepped closer, way to close.

"Why are you with him?" Harry whispers, I could feel his breath on me. I don't look him in the eyes, and his fingertip guides under my chin. Forcing me to make eye contact.

"He helps me Harry." I say, as Harry holds me, one arm around my neck and one around my waist. "I can too. You can't see it." He leans in. "Harry, we don't see each other the way you want to." I say, I don't want to hurt his feelings.

"Carmen, you're really choosing him between me?" Harry asks. "I don't know." I say, leaving his strong arms. I get disappointed for a little, when my body disconnects with his. I run into my room, thinking.

Who will I choose? Roy or Harry?
