This is too good to be true.

Later that night

        Shane stood in the darkest corner of The Planet, smoking a cigarette. She would look around and see if she found someone that could be her prey for the night. She needed to get her mind straight, so she thought a fresh ***** would help. She took a drag of her cigarette and blew out the smoke. She flicked the ashes onto the floor and brought it to her lips again. She was still and looked straight ahead. She noticed Carmen, but couldnt move an inch. She noticed a woman standing next to her. A sting of pain hit her in the heart, but she wanted to be strong. She dropped her cigarette to the floor and stepped on it. She slowly made it through the crowd and walked over to Carmen. She got closer to Carmen and stood right in front of her. Carmen looked in front of her and saw her former lover.

Hey. Shane said.

Hey.

So hows it going tonight?

Its going great. Yours?

Fine, so whos your friend? She asked getting to the point.

Shane, this is Nikki. Nikki, this is Shane, my ex. Shane cut her eyes at Carmen and then looked at the fiery red head she was with.

It was nice to meet you Nikki.

The same to you too. Shane put her hands in her pockets and looked at Carmen.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

I dont think its the right time to talk about us. Dont you see Im here with someone.

Oh no, its alright. If you guys want to talk, go ahead. Nikki said.

Thank you Nikki, can we please? Shane asked.

Fine. Ill be right back. Carmen walked through the crowd with Shane right behind her. They stood behind the double doors and stood. Speak.

So what are you trying to do? Are you trying to make me start using again? Cause if thats what you really want, thats where Im heading. Carmen shot her eyes at Shane.

Shane, are you serious? Dont start this *****. I called you and left a message telling you that I was seeing someone. I was forewarning just to let you knowYou didnt get the message, did you?
