Jenny sighed. “She kept talking about Veronica as if she was her girlfriend, and I found out that she was her ex. She never told me that; she kept it in the dark until I nagged her about it. I don’t know Shane I think I’m in love anymore.” She wiped the tears away from her eyes.

“Are you sure about this?”

Jenny nodded her head. “Yes, when we return to LA it’s over. I can’t do this anymore.” Shane sighed and wrapped her arm around Jenny’s shoulder. “I know it’s going to hurt me to do this, but I know it’s the right choice for me.”

Shane nodded her head in agreement. “If that’s how you feel do it, but enough of this thinking. You are going to come out there with me and have some fun. Carmen is out there waiting so you’re going out there whether you like or not.”

Jenny shook her head. “I don’t think I want to.” Shane sighed and got up. She grabbed Jenny’s hands and brought her on her feet. “What are you doing?”

“You’ll see.” Shane pulled Jenny by her arm and brought her body over her shoulder.

Jenny squealed. “Shane put me down!”

“Nope, you’re here to have fun. Not to mope around.” Jenny tried to fight, but I didn’t work. She let Shane take her out into the ocean and dropped her. She came back up to the surface and pushed her friend. Shane laughed and gave her friend a hug.

            The girls and Mark got out of the van and walked up to the art exhibit. They all walked in and looked around. Bette and Tina came and stopped at a photo. Bette gazed at and didn’t feel Tina let go of her hand.

Tina grabbed a glass of wine and walked off. “I can’t believe I’m doing this,” she shook her head and took a drink. She walked away and looked around.

            Shane stood at a picture and tilted her head. Carmen walked up to her and looked at her.

“Babe what are you doing?”

“I really can’t understand this picture. If I tilt my head, I can see in a different perspective.”
