Forever yours.

She can’t hurt Carmen again. It’s been too many times, too much pain she herself has caused her soul mate. That’s why she had to run.

“It’s best for her”, Shane mutters. “I love her enough to let her go…”

Shane stands there talking to the mirror in the hotel room with some casual clothes on. She is her father’s daughter; she could never be what Carmen needed… what she deserved. She was just an insignificant girl; she should have never led Carmen on. Her love for Carmen makes her want to stay. She wants to be selfish and stay, but what for? Her love is a plague that will suck the life of her soul mate, greedily leaving her partner soulless and lifeless.

She can’t do that to Carmen, she won’t.

Shane hears a knock on the door and tells the person to come in. Alice comes in and smiles at Shane. “Whoa whoa, look at you; you look like emo Ken who’s going to marry Salsa Barbie. Oooo!” Alice shrieks with excitement, “I can’t wait for you to see Carmen your mouth will drop, she’s-“ Alice stops short upon seeing Shane looking at the mirror.

‘You hear that, she’s looking beautiful just for you. She wants you.’

‘She will always want me, that’s what scares me. She will always love me, forgive me…’

‘Love is enough…”

‘No it’s not, not when it causes so much pain.’

‘You think she wants you to leave?’

‘She’ll move on and find her true soul mate, as I stay where I deserve to be.’

‘You don’t hurt people you love.’

‘It’s why I’m leaving!’

‘Having the love of your life abandoning on the happiest day of your life is the worst pain. Separating two soul mates is worse because it causes never ending pain to both of you.’

The inner turmoil is finally shattered by Alice’s voice. “Shane what’s wrong?”  Shane looks at all, a look of fear desperation. Alice mind immediately clicks, and starts sending some texts. “Al what hell are you doing?”

Before Alice can answer, the door throws open and in comes Bette and Jenny.

The three stare down Shane. “Shane…” Bette starts before she’s interrupted by Shane. “No! I’m not getting married and that’s final.”
