17 ; sins we commited

I felt so terrible that I had the feeling God was punishing me for the sins I had committed over the last week. I hadn't been able to keep any food down for two days and my father had realized that there was absolutely no point in staying with the others.

"You're coming home today," Toto reminded me, I could hear how sorry he was to have to come and get me early. "You'll have a jet to take you home in a few hours. Susie is worried sick."

Although I could understand them, I was also a little annoyed at having to leave earlier. We had so much planned for the last few days and now I couldn't be part of it.

"Okay, Dad. It's okay." Although Toto couldn't see it, I rolled my eyes and elicited a loving giggle from Carmen. I could feel her smile rubbing off on my lips.

Toto ended the call with a heavy sigh, so I dropped my cell phone on the uncomfortable bed I was lying on, annoyed.

Chief and Nala, along with Roscoe, had laid down with their snouts on my stomach and fallen asleep, preventing me from getting up and finishing packing my suitcase.

"Can I tell you something, Carmen?"

She nodded almost motherly, stroking my glowing cheek with her long fingers.

"The day before everything went down the drain..." I swallowed hard, because the memories were heavy in my stomach and I could feel the knot in it tightening.

"You had sex with Max?" She looked at me between her long lashes, a knowing smirk on her perfect lips.

I could feel my cheeks turning pink and I wanted to sink into the ground.

"How do you know that?" Escaped me a little too frantically, eliciting a hearty giggle from Carmen. Her fingers disappeared into my hair, where they became entangled.

"We had the room next to you and let's put it this way..." The blush only got worse on my face, so I frantically jumped off the bed so she couldn't see. "You weren't exactly quiet, sweetheart."

The dogs looked at me in confusion and I couldn't blame them as I had probably woken them up from a really nice dream.

"Sorry..." I mumbled under my breath, even as I folded the things that were scattered on the floor and carefully placed them in the huge suitcase.

"Oh, shake it off. George has never gone to this much trouble before."

Shocked, I exhaled, while Carmen just burst out laughing. She loved embarrassing me and was so indignant that I even knew the size of her boyfriend's cock by now.

"You're pretty uptight for what you did to Max," The Spaniard giggled as she dropped onto the cool floor next to me and helped me sort out my clothes.

"But that's not the point right now," She suddenly looked at me deadly serious, taking the shirt from my hand when I didn't look at her. "Do you think you might be pregnant? I won't tell anyone." I knew she wouldn't tell anyone, but as long as I didn't officially know anything, I didn't want to grind the devil's teeth.

"I don't know, Carmen. I honestly don't." I dropped my head onto my arms, which I wrapped around my knees in despair. "It's all so complicated. He has a child, Carmen. It was all just a lie."

Tears gathered in my eyes and blurred my vision, even though I wanted to stop crying after Max.

"No, he doesn't." Confused, my best friend shook her head and put the shirt she had taken from my hand a few minutes ago into the suitcase. "The child belongs to his girlfriend," Carmen began, taking my hands in her soft ones.

"And from what I've heard, there's a lot of trouble in paradise right now."

I shouldn't be happy about this, but somehow I couldn't deny that this information lifted my spirits.

"We shouldn't be happy about it, Carmen." I looked at her seriously, trying not to laugh because the truth was that it relieved me in a way I couldn't explain.

"It's your own fault if you want to distract yourself from what lies ahead with other women," She shrugged her shoulders dubiously and started grinning when she noticed my guffaw.

I looked at her, totally perplexed, as I hadn't even realized that he was just trying to distract himself. I had assumed that everything had been based on a single lie —

But apparently I was wrong, because the Dutchman seemed to really love me.

But then I remembered what his last words to me were and suddenly I felt as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest.

Which Max had done, but Carmen didn't know about it and I was too weak to tell her.

I sadly closed my suitcase, determined to finally get home and get some peace before the races started again and I had to see Max again.

"Thank you, Carmen. You're the best."
