Shane-

God Dana and Alice are going to be a regular happy ending couple. Sleeping beauty minus the man and the curse. You look at them and it makes you wish that you had something as special as that.
Tina and Bette were always hope for me, hope that one day somebody would love me as much as they love each other. I guess maybe its not relationships that are twisted as much as its just me.
I havent hardly said a word to Nancy tonight. I invited her, but I might aswell not have. She sat by my side patiently, not saying a word until she thought it was safe to. But in my defence Ive been thinking, Ive been thing about areas in my life that are screwed and that could be fixed.
Its practically impossible for me to admit, but I miss my parents. I miss my mum. I dont get why though. They pretty much fucked me up royally, abandoned me because of a stupid little thing like sexuality. But I guess I just dont wanna die knowing that there was a chance and I didnt take it.
I wrote a letter to my mum today, I feel like its burning a hole in my coat pocket. Should I send it? I have no idea. Theyll probably reject me all over again. New wounds to cover the old ones.
Whatever it is thats upsetting you, you should just deal with it instead of torturing yourself Nancy says, licking ketchup from the bottom of her lips.
Were sat in some burger joint. Empty but for us and some lady working the till named Peggy who coughs and weezes every chance she gets.
Its not that easy. Some things need deep thought
She looks at me, and it still gets me how open her eyes and her smile are. Nothing is veiled with this chick. I guess your right She bites into her burger and I want to tell her everything. I want to tell her that my parents were *****, that they almost ruined my life. That for some insane reason I want to get in touch with them. I want their praise and their love.
Ive been thinking about sending a letter to my mum I blurt out picking up the ketchup bottle just for something to look at. But I dont know I shrug.
People change over time. Sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse, it wouldnt hurt just to send the letter, even if they dont read it She holds my hand, squeezing it. Give me the letter. Ill post it then its out of your hands. I wont read it, I promise
I take it out of my pocket and hand it to her. I trust you
Good She replies stuffing it into her backpack. Because I would hate it if you didnt
I take a sip from her cup, grinning over the top of the styrofoam top.

Jenny-

I stand at the door saying goodbye to Bette, and waving at Tina as she sits in the car. Thanks for helping me with Marina, I think the champagne must have really gotten to her I say.
Dont worry about it. You should see Tina, one glass and shes gone She spins her finger around next to her temple.
I smile. And thanks for the ride
She dismisses my thanks with a wave of her hand. Before Tina has the baby you and Marina should have dinner with us. We might not have much time when theres a baby to look after
That sounds like a great idea. You should come over to ours, you deserve a rest, and Marina is such an amazing cook
Sounds like a plan. See you later Jenny
See you. See you Tina! I shout waving at her. Tina waves back at me from the car and I watch until the car drives off down the street. Closing the door, I sigh at the discarded clothing that litters the stairway.
I pick up Marinas now crinkled shirt, her demure heels, her flowing black skirt, and then I reach the top step. I can hear her heavy breathing before I even reach our bedroom door.
Slipping into the room I take off my clothes, the breeze from the opened window dancing across my naked body, I slide into the bed next to Marina, drawn to her side like a moth to a flame. She lies on her stomach, one arm flung above her, hugging the pillow to her face. I wrap an arm around her waist, snuggling up to her side. Jenny? she calls out.
Im here I whisper kissing her bare shoulder. She brings a hand to my face, brushing my cheeks with her fingertips.
You take good care of me She slurs.
I hope so
I want to take care of you
Shh baby I whisper stroking her warm cheeks. I dont think Ive seen Marina this drunk in the five years that weve been together. You take excellent care of me
I love you Jenny She clutches at me. I dont say it enough but I do I hug her.
I love you too
