2 years after the non-wedding….

Shane’s POV

I can’t believe it’s been 2 years and I’m finally heading back to see my family again.  How things have changed over the past couple of years.  Me in New York… my family in L.A.  I’ve really missed my family; Bette and Tina…they’re like parents to me and they took me in when I needed to be rescued off the street.  I remember the dinner parties that we use to have at their house.  Good times sitting on the back porch and meeting up with Tina or Bette (depending on which one of them were unable to sleep) then, there’s Jenny.  My good friend that I’ve been so close to.  She was always in her own little world and not many people understand her, but I do.  Can’t forget about Kit… She was always the life of the party.  Motherly figure, she made sure you were taken care of.  She was doing a great job running the Planet. God I missed that place.  Breakfasts every other morning there.  Being there almost everyday at all hours of the day and night.  Can’t forget about Alice.  What is there to say about Alice…? Well, it’s Alice… She’s the Padawan to my Yoda.  If that makes any sense.  And then there’s… there’s…Car…. I still can’t bring myself to say her name.  I kept in touch with mainly Alice and Jenny.  I would call about once every 2 weeks or so, but soon things just kept happening we slowly lost connection.  Okay, I admit it was mostly my fault… but I  have just had too much going on.  Running WAX in New York and taking care of my responsibilites… let alone, trying to stay on the right track.  I haven’t talk to Jenny or Alice in over a year now.  They email me, I never find time to respond.  I just wonder how it’s going to be when I see them all again.  Is there still a group?  Do they still gather at the Planet?  How is everyone doing?  How is…. How….How is… SHE doing?  My heart hurts every time I think about her and our last encounter of each other.
