Chapter 15

       Juan:"Ya know I thought you’re friends with that bitch. Shane’s in a lotta trouble ’cause o’ ‘er. She’s to pay this crap loadda’ money. She’s workin’ 2 jobs already…She has this deal goin’ with her father. So she can’t step outta it. Cherie got her thrashed by that Marcos. Ya know I’d help’er but I am scared of ‘em as well…and I don’ want you guys to be in trouble ’cause o’ me"

 Carmen:"what deal?" 

 Juan:"Look don’ tell ‘er I told you…but she used to be a druggie in the streets o’ LA, when Cherie took a likin’ to ‘er during her vacation last sumer,  her dad got Shane as the foster kid. But she doesn’t like ‘er so she’d this deal with her dad that Shane’s gonna foller ‘er around and help with school work and stuff…ya know Shane didn’ go to middle school. She used to do hair and stuff…she got cleaned from the rehab and stuff…and doesn’t touch drugs eva’ since…"

 Carmen:"and what’s with her player lifestyle?" I couldn’t help but ask….

 Juan:"apparently she fell hard and bad fo’ Cherie and Cherie did her bitchy stuff and after that she just started with this random girl stuff…Cherie called ‘er up and said…"HELLO SHANEY…you were a good fuck but not good enough to for my pussy"’ Juan caricatured Cherie’s voice…"I don’t know what Shane replied to that" 

 then it occured to me…

 Carmen:"How’d you know all these? Shane doesn’t seem like the kinda person that would go round telling her stories"

 Juan looks like a thief who got caught.

 Juan:"You know the day she left her cell when she got in the fight? I had her cell! and I saw all the girls calling her and leaving messeges…I heard Cherie’s messege it was saved. And she’s got this locked up doc where she writes all important stuff…in case she gets in trouble with Cherie…I don’t know, when I found her phone, the docs were open"

 Carmen:"Wow! I never knew my big brother can be a detective." that was really a lot of information…about Shane…Juan seemed proud. 

 Juan:"Also there’s this girl she likes that she saw at the club that night and now ’cause o’ her she’s giving up the whole ‘fuck ‘em leave ‘em’ deal….now don’t go around telling her all these! Please…SHane’s a good kid and she deserves this! I trust you lil’ sis"
