The tears blurred her vision as she drove into the night. The lights of Los Angeles flying past her at a dizzying speed. She didn’t know where she was going but knew she needed to get far away.  Far away from the destructive thoughts in her head, far away from the movie business, but mostly far away from her so-called best friend.  Shane and Nicki. Nicki and Shane. Shane and Nicki. The names replaying over and over again in her head.  She just couldn’t believe it. Why? Why? Of all the women in this town why could she not resist just this one? It was like déjà vu to the situation with Carmen but at least back then she could forgive her since she thought there was love between the two. At least that is what she thought until Shane proved her wrong by leaving Carmen at the alter in such a brutal way.  Tonight was like a slap in the face. A slap of the reality of who Shane was.  Her cell phone rang yet again until she finally reached over and turned it off.  ‘Fuck Off!’ she thought. ‘Just leave me the hell alone’  She had been driving non stop and found herself at the end of Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica. She pulled the car over into an available space. Now that she was physically still she could not stop the violent flow of tears that escaped her body. 

“Shane you know me! You fucking know me! You know I am not as strong as I want to be. I needed you to help me stay strong. Why would you do this to me! Why? Damn you Shane! Just damn you!…” Jenny screamed as she slammed her hands into the steering wheel. “Damn you!”   Her head fell into her hands and she continued to sob.

The silver Lexus continued smoothly merging onto traffic on Sunset Blvd. Bette and Tina had just dropped Kit off and were headed home. 

“She’s not answering.” Tina said as she tried Jenny’s cell yet again.

“She probably turned it off” Bette responded.

“Oh Bette, I am just worried about what she may do. The look on her face… I … I have never seen a person so hurt… so lost. It was like she became a hollow shell” Tina said as she stared out of the car window.
