Pain. It’s funny how that can be a constant in your life. First thing I remember about waking up was the pain. It started as a dull ache and quickly became sharp stabs all over my body, but mainly in my torso. I cracked my eyes open and was immediately bombarded with bright lights. After several more attempts to open them, I found myself staring at a stark ceiling and fleuro batons, and could hear the buzzing background noise of what could only be a hospital around me. Someone took my hand and I glanced over to Bette.
“Hey, there you are. How are you feeling? Should I get a doctor?”
I concentrated on my body for a moment, then slightly shook my head. “How did I…?”
“It looks like you got mugged outside of She Bar. Your future employer, Sandra, found you in the alley next to the bar. She called Marina and Marina called me. We met the ambulance here at the hospital. Everyone else is in the waiting room.”
“What time is it?”
“About 10am. You were brought in around four. They figured you had been lying in the alley for at least an hour or so.”
A doctor then came in and checked my vitals. He pumped something into my IV and the pain went away. In the haze of the meds, I vaguely remember making out that I was lucky. I had three cracked ribs, a sprained wrist, a gash on my leg, and a moderate concussion. But aside from a lot of bumps and bruises, I could have made out a lot worse. I was staying in the hospital another day for the concussion before being released to the care of Bette and Tina who had already made up the guest room for me. After he left, the others filed into the room. Everyone asked how I was, and in my drugged state, who knows what I said to them. As they started to leave, Tina sat down on one side of me, Bette on the other. Alice stayed at the foot of the gurney.

Your Shane, with one foot each in two entirely separate worlds, is very poignant. I enjoy seeing her change to accept her new world and new friends more and more as each chapter unfolds. B&T as mother hens and not MILFs is funny.
I don’t need to reiterate how much I adore this fic.. but I will nevertheless. It’s in depth and it’s brutal. Brilliant :)
Hey there. Another wonderfully put together chapter. The dialog you write is perfect. Thanks so much for writing and posting this story.
Still liking this story, Shanes transition into a better life is going as i would expect,she spent a lot of years out in the cold and learned how to deal, it will take some time to trust real freindship and a family life. Please let her friends stay strong. Md
Haven’t commented in a while, but I continue to love this story. You’ve developed each character so very well and the group dynamic is just perfect. This is what is missing in the actual show.
your story just keeps getting better with every posting. Realizing how hard writing is I still can not hope selfishly that you continue this amazing story right thru existing storylines…totally brilliant
kd, I love this…it is the perfect illustration of Shane and Bette. Shane needs to let someone in, and Bette loves her, and won’t betray her. It’s ok for Shane to let Bette know her pain and despair and let her heart find rest in Bette’s hands. She is safe there. I wonder how Clive will mess up her life again though?
