Shane woke up from a cold sweat and jumped out of her bed. She ran into the bathroom and dropped in front of the toilet. She started to throw up, keeping her head in the toilet. She dropped her head on the side of it and started to breath. She spit the nasty aftertaste of saliva into the toilet. She got up and flushed it all down. She grabbed a hold of the sink and turned on the water. She put her mouth under the faucet and spit out the water. She rinsed her face off and turned off the water. She looked up at herself in the mirror.

“What have I done to myself?” She ran her fingers over her face, the black circles becoming worse, and her face looked completely fragile. She walked out of the bathroom and walked back into her bedroom. She laid down on her stomach and buried her face into her pillow. She began to cry and held onto her pillow. She wanted to have Carmen back into her life, and it was killing her. Her life was turned upside when Carmen walked out of her life.

“God, I would do anything to have her back into my life,” She sobbed into her pillow, slowing going back into a deep slumber.

            Carmen was sitting on the bed, watching Olivia pack her things. “How long is this trip going to be?”

Olivia zipped up her bag and sat it on the floor. “I don’t know babe, it depends how long it takes to close the deal. I promise I’ll call you every night to check on everything.”

Carmen pouted. “Okay, I’m gonna miss you.”

Olivia knelt in front of  Carmen and grabbed her hands. “Hey, I’ll be back before you know it. I love you.”

“I love you.”

Olivia leaned up and gave Carmen a kiss. “I gotta go, but I’ll see you real soon.” She got up and grabbed her bags. “I’ll call you when I get to New York.”

Carmen gets up from the bed and walks behind Olivia. She stands in the doorway and watches her girlfriend walk down the steps to the door. She sighed and walked back into the room. She grabbed the phone and dialed a number. She laid back on the bed and waited for an answer.
