The Tester
Chapter 24
”It’s still getting worse after everything I’ve tried.
What if I found a way to wash it all aside.
What if she touches with those fingertips,
As the words spill out like fire from her lips?”
They walked toward Jennifer Schecter’s house, together.
Shane and Carmen, walking as one in the darkness and in the cool breeze of a summer night. Shane and Carmen, both wrapped into their very classy, very elegant
– so, oh, so fucking out of place –
outfits. Shane and Carmen that were fighting strenuously against all the shovelfuls of shit that kept on raining all over them.
They were holding hands and Carmen noticed that Shane’s palm was sweating. Shane acted like everything was regular and cool, and her walk was smooth and easy as usual, but her jaw was tensed, clenched. Carmen threw her a rapid glance and winced slightly. She realized that she couldn’t stand Shane’s pain.
And, at the same time, she also realized that she couldn’t live without her anymore. That simple, as-big-as-the-planet truth hit her and she felt enlightened. Cursed and blessed at the same time.
Shane was a complicate person. Shane was flawed. Shane still had a lot of shit to deal with. Shane wasn’t exactly a 100% guaranteed product, she was sincerely broken.
Damaged.
Did Carmen really want to be with her? Yes.
Did Carmen really accept her for who she was, lights and shadows and everything in the middle? Yes, she thought to herself, with a bittersweet smile. She wouldn’t have loved her the way she loved her, if Shane was only slightly different.
Did Carmen feel ready for anything that involved Shane?
Carmen scoffed inwardly, shook her head inwardly and screamed at the top of her lungs, inwardly. Yes, yes, she was definitely ready. She wanted Shane and that was it.
“Relax, baby, everything’s going to be just fine”, Carmen felt the need to whisper.
Shane didn’t turn back, her green eyes focused on Schecter’s front door, her jaw still clenched.
“I really hope so, Carmen. I really hope so”.
They stopped in front of the door, under the yellowish light of the porch, and Shane squared her shoulders before letting go of Carmen’s hand.

I’m glad Carmen told Shane exactly how she was feeling instead of keeping it to herself and making it a time bomb waiting to explode. They need to really stick together now.
