Carmen was kissing a very distracted Shane.  The night before Carmen arrived home and Shane wasn’t there, she had left her a note saying not to wait her up because she was at Dana’s and she’d probably be late.  Carmen wanted to make up for the night so she was trying to get Shane in the mood… unsuccessfully “Were you really at Dana’s last night?”

Shane just glared at her but she immediately felt guilty and softened her look “I’d never lied to you” Shane got up from the bed “I’m going to take a shower now” She knew she wasn’t being nice so she turned around to look at an astonished Carmen “I’m sorry Carmen” she leaned in to kiss her but Carmen looked away so Shane took both of Carmen’s hands “You must to believe that I really want to be with you but please understand that it’s hard for me sometimes” Carmen remained silent and a single tear fell across her face “You know I can’t stand that girls cry” Shane hugged her but she pulled away “I love you but we should slow down a little”

“Slow down?” Carmen asked angrily “What does that mean Shane? Tell me because I really need to know so I can understand you! First, you act weird, you don’t talk to me to tell me what the fuck is inside your head but suddenly you say you’re sorry for acting like an idiot and ask me to go out with you, just the two of us and everything’s ok but today you’re acting even weirder!” Carmen left the room as she slammed the door

Dana and Lara were at the doctor’s.  They were anxious and nervous, those were the first exams since Dana started the chemo sessions; it was the moment of the truth, have all those painful sessions been worthy?  Dana still needed a whole day and maybe two to recover from them; during those days she was extremely depressed even though all her friends were always around, especially Alice.  If the results were positive, she could have a chance to heal completely, she would be given a second chance, but a second chance to do what? To live again and make things different or was it a second chance to be with Alice? If that was the case, Lara was still there, she has been from the beginning, how could she dismiss the partner that decided to stay through the bad times? She can’t be ungrateful and besides, she didn’t know how Alice felt, she has been a great friend, she has also been there from the beginning, despite Dana’s confession she didn’t freak out and run away afraid to be hurt again, she did everything to not make things awkward between them but Dana couldn’t read her feelings but what made it harder was that Alice has been hanging out with a girl named Sarah for three weeks now, that was the verb “hanging out” instead of “dating”, she hasn’t asked Alice if they had had sex but she didn’t think so because otherwise Alice would have told her or not…
