.:: Your POV ::.

It's time for Cotillion. You smoothed down your dress and walked to the boat with Lonnie, Jay, Mal, and Evie. You sighed and Evie squeezed your hand reassuringly. "Everything will be fine. We'll explain everything to Carlos and he'll forgive you!" she smiled. You shrugged and smile faintly. "I don't know about that, Evie."

You finally get to Cotillion and look around, lost. Everyone had a date.
Jay and Lonnie were together; they were at the snack bar.
Evie and Doug were together; laughing and having punch.
Mal was backstage getting ready and so was Ben. Uma was nowhere to be found, which worried you.

You sighed and walk around. You go below deck and see Carlos and Jane talking.
You frown.

This was your chance. This was your chance to prove to Carlos that you still love him and to win him back.

You cleared your throat, "Carlos," you say monotone-like.
He stopped talking to Jane and looked over at you. His face visibly fell when he saw you.
Ouch.

"Uhm... Jane? Give us a minute?" she nodded and walked off.

"What do you want?" he leaned against the wall by him. "I want to say I'm sorry... that? On the Isle? That wasn't me..." you started to tear up a little.

"I doubt that."
"Really? Would I really stab you?" you frowned. "No, but you did, so I don't know now!"

"Carlos... Uma poisoned me. She turned me evil."
"Sure," he frowned. "She made me become apart of the Tide. She made an evil counterpart named Evilyn," you explained crying a little.

"I don't believe you," he said simply. "Carlos... please... please believe me! I swear on my life I'm telling the truth! I know it sounds far fetched, but you know Uma more than I do! All your other friends believe me and not you, so why?"

"Because their girlfriend and boyfriends didn't do this to them!" he raised him shirt sleeve up and you see the cut. You gasped and started to cry harder. "Carlos... oh my God. I.. I did that?" you covered your mouth and walked over to him, but he backed up. "You could've killed me."

"But I didn't-" 

"Still. You could've. And still can."

"Carlos Oscar De Vil, would I - the REAL me - ever hurt you in anyway?" you grabbed his hand.
He backed up against a wall and looked into your eyes. "No," he says quietly. "Then trust me. I didn't hurt you. I was able to stop Evilyn from killing you with my love for you. She wanted to kill me and take over. She was the one that wanted Harry. Yes, I admit, he's cute, but I only want you. You're the man I truly love. I've always loved you and still do..." you cried, your gaze in his eyes faltering and your heart sink.

"(Y/n), I..." he sighs. He looks down at your tear stricken face and his eyes softened before he moved away from you. "I-I'm sorry. I can't do this."

He quickly walked away from you, your eyes closing as you cried in frustration. You didn't want to stay at the party now. Walking down below deck, you slammed the door behind you and sat on the couch and cried. Hoping to be left alone in your thoughts down there, you let your emotions and anger out in peace.
