Lets let her know were all here. Tina said. Alice led the group into Shanes room. Shane heard the door open and looked up. She smiled when she saw everybody. But it fell when she saw the last couple: Carmen and Jenny.

Hey Shane. How you feel? Alice sat down on Shanes bed and held her hand.

Im fine, except this hospital ordeal.

Were just lucky that youre alive. Jenny said.

You guys know that Shane McCutcheon always bounces back from anything. Shane smiled faintly.

So how long do you have to be here? Carmen asked. Shane looked at Carmen. I just gotta stay the night AGAIN, and I can come home tomorrow.

Do you want anyone to stay with you? Mark asked.

No, Im good on my own.

At least have someone to stay with you. Carmen said.

Look, I dont need anyone to ***** baby sit. I can take care of myself. Shane sighed. Im sorry you guys. I dont want to be here. Shane crossed her arms and turned her head to the window.

Alright, well let you rest, and youll be out in no time. Alice said. She got up and kissed the top of Shanes head. Everybody said their goodbyes and left. Carmen stayed and stood by the door.

Why are you still here? Shane slanted her eyes at Carmen.

We need to talk.

Jenny waited for Carmen outside of Shanes room. Bette and Tina were waiting for the elevator.

Hey Jenny, need a ride home? Bette asked.

No, Im ok. Waiting for Carmen.

Alright, see ya. The elevator door slid open, and they walked in. They stood there quietly. Bette looked over at Tina and smiled. Tina would look at her out of the corner of her eye. The door slid open , and they stepped out.

So Tina, did you need a ride?

Yeah, I would like that. Bette and Tina walked over to Bettes car. They both got in and pulled out of the parking lot.

Carmen stood there, looking at Shane. She would look into her eyes and saw nothing. She noticed Shane didnt look nothing of herself. It killed Carmen to see her former lover miserable.

Shane, what is wrong? Why are you acting like this?

Honestly, this isnt the time to talk about this. I want to rest right now.

No, Im not leaving until I get an answer out of you.

You can stand there all day cause you wont get anything out of me. Shane started to pick at her fingers.

Why are you being so damn stubborn? Whats your problem with me? Shane rolled her eyes.

Alright, you want an answer. Heres your answer. I cant stand seeing you at my house. What makes it worse is that youre ***** my roommate. I cant stand you being near me while youre with Jenny. You happy now? Carmen stood there in tears and pain. She wiped the tears from her eyes.

Shane, you can be so ***** cruel. I hope you grow the ***** up. Carmen walked out of the room and slammed the door. Shane laid her head back and started out the window. God, please take me off of this world. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
