Her phone rang she looked at the display that said Al. she just let it ring, and went to the bathroom. She wasn’t surprised to find the girls bathroom barely used; she looked in the mirror and saw her reflection. She had a bruise on her cheek and her lip was swollen and split. She looked like shit and she knew it, pissed off at her self she put her fist into the mirror. Her hand cut up and bleeding she wrapped it up in some paper towel. She went out and dropped some cash on the counter; she didn’t stop to tell them why. 

     She got in her car and drove down to the street besides the Morales’. She parked in the parking lot of a little grocery, and walked over. The boy’s were just leaving, so she waited in the shadows of the fence at the corner. She ran down and jumped the fence of their neighbours.

      She snuck along the side of the house, waiting for the lights to go out. She ran to the opposite side of the house and went straight for Carmen’s window. She climbed the tree next to it and leaned over trying to reach the window. She managed to hit it once but almost fell out of the tree.

   “Oh fuck.” she said that too loudly and paused waiting for someone to come out to kill her. She let out a huge sigh when all stayed quiet, she tried to do it again but this time was surprised by Carmen.

   “Shane what the hell do you think your doing?” she was wearing only a big white t-shirt that hung off her shoulder a little, revealing her shoulder. Shane could just stare at her shoulder for a moment, before she looked at her.

   “Al said you were moving, I can’t let you.” she stared at her lips that were bare, at her tousled hair, and at her perfect body. Her thoughts were getting cloudy, and she was having trouble thinking. “I can’t let you go.” she went to climb in but lost her footing. She grabbed onto the frame and caught her self before she could fall, but went crashing into Carmen’s room. She landed hard, a pain shooting through her shoulder.
