The Planet’s bathroom has had its fair share of moments over the years. Everything ranging from sex to insanity to insane sex. Today, however the moment is more reserved as Lara stares into the mirror, her hands against the sink. Call them memories or just inner demons, but whatever one calls them, they keep her far from peace at this time. Everyone is at the Planet today for the unveiling of a plaque that will celebrate the memories of those lost in the jet crash, but for Lara the memories are not celebratory. Instead, they’re haunting. The door swings open and Carmen enters, seeing Lara staring at herself.
Carmen: Lara? There you are! The ceremonies about to begin…
Lara closes her eyes and looks down. Carmen walks to her and places her right hand against Lara’s lower back.
Carmen: Hey…you okay?
Her eyes still closed, Lara slowly shakes her head. Carmen leans in, closer to Lara’s left ear.
Carmen: Need me to take you home?
Lara: I should have been on that jet.
Carmen leans her forehead against Lara’s left shoulder.
Carmen: No, baby…you’re right here where you belong. Stop beating yourself up.
Carmen looks up, resting her chin on Lara’s shoulder now.
Carmen: Okay?
Lara turns to face Carmen and it’s then when Carmen sees not grief, but anger in Lara’s eyes amidst the anguish.
Lara: I should be dead.
Carmen: Lara…no! We should all be alive. But we don’t have control over that. We can only go with what we got and right now, that’s us. Just me, you, Shane and Bette.
Carmen reaches up with her hands and holds Lara’s face.
Carmen: Look at me…this is it. This is us. This is our family now. And we need to do everything we can to stay together and not destroy ourselves. I don’t want you to go insane on me, because if you do…I’m gonna jump with you. That way, at least you’re not alone.
Lara leans her head against Carmen’s as they wrap their arms around each other.
Carmen: Need to breakdown?
Lara can feel a tear beginning to form, but she holds it in with a sniff.

Hope your Papi is not as strange as TLW’s. Glad to see new faces though.
I’m with Probie. One strange Papi is enough. lol Hopefully we get more Ivan.
Glad to see that the others are safe. The after mat of death and trying to get proper papers in order is hard. on everyone. Let this Papi be more gentle that the one on the TLW thanks
I just had this weird flash of Papi and Bette… Not sure why. Also not sure who would be pursuing who in that scenario… Anyway, that business stuff can be a bitch when all you want to do is mourn…
Ahhh ok, liking this. A LOT. But I think we’re both Lara fans, so I anticipate lots of goodness for her, with the serious angsty (as if she doesn’t have enough) times. Can’t wait to see how Papi is woven into the mix. I like that Carmen is there for Lara. Hmm, I think I miss these girls on the show, daaaang. PPS, I’m hooked.
Let’s see. Papi? I like. Next should be Tasha. Tasha and Carmen would be cool, hell Tasha with anyone would be great. Is Jodi next? I hope not. Kace you gotta make up some one else, cuz Jodi won’t cut it, at least not with Bette. Pretty please? Not so bleak this chapter. I really hope that Laura doesn’t trasnfer her emotions onto Carmen. They should just be friends. Shane…well she should grovel at Carmen’s feet while Carmen takes this time to screw around, because we need some sex in this story to take away from some of the bleakness. More Bette please. Good stuff. PPS.
Gasp! Papi’s gonna ry it on witn Lara isn’t she? Hopefully Carmen will put her foot down and stand up for her woman! Ok, I know you havn’t put them together (yet? maybe, maybe not), but a girl can dream. Is there any way to subscribe to fics written by you? Like receiving an email update when you post new chapters etc?
