“Hey.” Shane turned around and saw Jenny behind her. “You gotta light?” Shane handed Jenny her lighter. “Are you enjoying yourself?” Jenny handed Shane her lighter.

“I was until she came.” Jenny sighed and took a seat next to Shane.

“Shane, why are you doing this to yourself? I mean, you were doing so well and then you fall back. What happened to you?”

Shane blew out the smoke and looked at Jenny. “She happened. She came into my life and made it all better. I ***** up, and she was gone.”

Jenny shook her head and took a drag of her cigarette. “How many times did you ***** up?” Shane looked away and didn’t say anything. “You need to get your act together and try to get your woman back. You know she’s the one for you, and you’re the one for her. She might not want to admit it now, but deep down in her heart she knows.”

“Jen, I know I need help, and I want her back in my life. I just don’t know where to start.”

“You can start by getting help and then worry about getting her back into your life.”

Shane put her cigarette out and put it back into her pack. “I really need this, and it will kill me if I don’t get her back.”

Jenny wrapped her arm around Shane’s shoulders. “I’m here for you Shane. If you ever need me, I’m here.”

Shane smiled and wrapped her arms around Jenny. “Thanks.” Carmen watched from the window and walked away. She took a drink of her beer and took a seat next to Mark on the floor. Jenny and Shane walked back in and sat on the floor in front of Tina and Bette. Shane looked at Carmen and then looked away. She finished her beer and put it on the table.

Shane crossed her arms and looked at everybody. “So what’s the plan?”

Bette got up from the couch. “We order pizza and so we’re just waiting and talking.”

Shane smiled and put her thumb up. “Good plan.”  Carmen looked down and looked back up at Shane. She knew that she still wanted her, but didn’t know what to do about. She loves Olivia, but not in love as she is with Shane. Shane looked at her, and Carmen looked away. There was a knock at the door, and Tina got up. She walked over to the door and opened it.
