Tina looked at her friend. “Do you still love her?”

Alice looked at Tina and dropped her head. “I-I do, but I love Jordana. But I can’t stop thinking about Dana. I don’t know what to do Tee.”

Tina grabbed her hands. “You need some time alone and think about what you want to do. What your heart is telling you, you should follow it.”

Alice nodded her head. “I hope this works,” she brought Tina’s hands to her lips and kissed them. “Thanks Tee.”

“No problem,” she let go of Alice‘s hands. “I’m going to take a shower and then go get Destiny.”

“Alright,” Tina got up from the table and walked out of the kitchen. Alice grabbed her cup and walked outside on the patio.

            Shane walked back onto the steps of her house and walked in. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Carmen sitting on the couch with Jenny. Carmen looked at Shane and got off the couch. Shane started to walked towards, but Carmen stood back and put her hand up. She walked out of the living room and walked the hallway. Shane sighed and took off her jacket. Jenny looked up at Shane.

“I know it’s none of my business, but that was wrong Shane.” Shane took a seat on the love seat.

“I know what I did was wrong, but she just snapped. With my reaction, I grabbed a hold of her and threw her on the bed.”

Jenny raked her fingers through her hair. “Where the fuck did Cherie Jaffe come back into the picture?”

Shane sighed and ran her hand over her face. “She appeared at my party, and I didn’t know she knew about it. She gave me her card, and I kept it. Carmen found it in my pocket the next day and asked me about it. I told her that nothing happened, and we talked about it. She was cool about it, until she brought it back up at the hospital. She became jealous Jenny.”

“Shane, she loves you. You broke her heart and your trust with her. She’s hurting right now.”

Shane looked at Jenny. “How do you think I feel? She was questioning my trust, and I was telling her the truth. She couldn’t get over it. I just feel like I can’t be around her if she’s going to do this to me.”

Jenny got up from the couch and touched Shane’s shoulder. “I hope you make the right choice.” She kissed the top of her head and walked away. Shane propped her arm up on the loveseat and pressed her fist against her face. She began to contemplate on where her and Carmen’s relationship was going to go. She slouched in the loveseat and stared at the TV.
