Shane didn’t know how she ended up back at the beach or long she had been standing there… but she finally knew why she had been acting so weird. And why the second she saw Carmen she felt whole and that’s when Shane realized… she had found the one person in her life she had ever truly loved, maybe it was just puppy love back then "but if that’s all it was why am i so drawn to her" she thought staring out at the waves. the thoughts consuming her only made her even more confused than before until she resolved that she should just go home and sleep on it.

"sleep ya that’ll happen" she smirked knowing full well she wasn’t going to be able to sleep at all tonight….

Meanwhile Back at the Morales Household

Carmen was watching from the couch as her mother was pacing back and forth across the living room mumbling incoherently to her self. Carmen was starting to get worried because this had been going on for the better part of 15 minute now…. Carmen finally lost her cool and walked over to her mother halting her movement by placing her hand on her shoulders.

"mama… are you ok" she asked not bothering to hide how concerned she had become.

Ms. Morales just stared into her daughters eyes for a moment before regaining her composer and asking in a very serious tone "baby… this Shane is she tall, and very thin with dark short hair and green eyes." Carmen was shocked

" h..how… i mean… yes but how do you know what she looks like…. i only told you her name." Carmen was still in shock but desperately wanted to know what the hell was going on.

Ms. Morales just smiled and took Carmen by the hands and lead her over to the couch. "Carmen baby i need you to think … do you remember the first foster child i brought into this house you where about 11 maybe 12 years old…. do you remember her."

" yes … how could you asked that don’t you remember me telling you she was the first person i kissed and that was when i realized i was gay…. but what does this have to do with Shane." she asked as Ms. Morales stood from the couch and grabbed a small photo album from the bookshelf.
