“Shane…. Shane… Hey, it’s me… you’re alright now….” I heard her voice saying very faintly. I could feel my fingers moving a little. I slowly touched my newest bullet wound just slightly place my hand over it. I don’t why I did it. My eye lids felt like ten thousand pounds to open.

“Uhh… did… did you…… my room…” I managed to slur.

“no… no… uhh, I didn’t go to your room…” she said to me. I felt her hands stroking my forehead to my hair. My eyes were still close but then heard a familiar voice. I tried to remember who it was. I felt like I talked to her today. My eyes snapped open when I realized who it was.

“Hey, is she better?? I got some water… and I think she needs to eat… like pronto… I made a PB and J sandwich…. You’re alright Carm?” She said with her head poked between the door and hand passing the glass of water to Shane. I realized I’m still in the bathroom, lying down. Carmen grabbed it and looked back at me. I got my upper body up slowly.

“What the fuck happened?” I asked. I looked up at Alice and I can’t believe she’s standing there. Hell, she should be getting out of LA even better the country. I kept my eyes on her and looked at the worried Carmen.

“You passed out you asshole!! You scared the shit out of me!!” she practically screamed at me. Jesus, she better lower her fucking voice down.

“You barged in here… when I was having a shower!! and then… you fucking passed out!! Thank god your head didn’t hit anything sharp!!” She screamed again.

I touched the side of my head and felt the bump, guessed that’s where the painful headache is coming from. I looked at Alice and she was laughing at me. What the hell is this chick doing here?

“Did you hear me Shane?!” She asked me.

“Yeah…” I said, my eyes squinting still rubbing the back of my head. Jenny should never know about this. I looked at Carmen and saw that she was on the verge of crying.
