Previously (Just Be Happy)

The woman had looked up at her, she looked so familiar

Papi: Carmen, Carmen Morales

Carmen: Eva Torres

Papi: Hey guys, I want you to meet a friend of mine

Papi: She was just behind me, oh here she is

Shane: Carmen

Carmen: Shane

Papi: You two know each other?

Alice: Holy Shit! Carmen! What are you doing here?

Alice run over to her and hugged her.

Carmen: I told you I was coming to visit

Alice: Wow you look really hot

Carmen (laughs): thanks and you look really drunk

Shane just stared at the both them, she didn’t know what to say, I mean Carmen was standing right in front of her, she didn’t know what to do. She contemplated on blending in with the crowd and leaving but she had done enough running, it was time to face what she had been putting off for so long.

Papi: Wait how do you guys already know each other, I’m I missing something

Alice downed another shot: Well Carmen and Shane used to date about 3 years ago. 

Papi: Really I didn’t know that

Carmen: Yea we were even engaged (staring at Shane) until somebody decided to leave me at the alter

Papi: Oh, I see

Shane just stared down at her feet, not knowing what to say. Carmen just stared at her waiting for her to at least look her in the eyes.

The blonde from earlier came walking up to Shane “Hey sexy, Can I have that dance you promised me” She leaned into Shane, grabbing her by her tie.

Carmen: Wow 3 years, and some things still haven’t changed.  It was nice seeing you Papi and Alice, I’ll catch up with you guys later.

Carmen looked at Shane still staring at the floor, she turned around and made her way out the club.

Alice: Shane what the hell! Go after her

Shane: and say what

Alice: Apologize you fucker, god you didn’t even look at her

Shane: I didn’t know what to say

Alice: Well sorry would be a start. Look Shane you are my best friend, and I kinda understood why you did what you did 3 years ago, but if you let her walk out that door without saying anything then you really are a coward.
