Shane shot out of his grasp and stood staring down at him.  Her green eyes flashed, and she felt the heat rising in her face.  She clenched and unclenched her jaw until her teeth ached.

Shane:  What the ***** manwhat about me?  You ***** promised  Her anger started to rise again and she felt wetness on her cheeks; she hadnt realized that she was crying.  Clive stood up and tried to embrace her, she pushed off of him, wanting to strike him, and knew she might if he tried to touch her again.

Clive:  ShanepleaseI love you, and I know I promised, but I wantno I need her.  You know Id do anything for youbut I want to go home  His eyes fell to his feet.  Tears sprung in his eyes, and he felt like the sixteen year old he was.  He hadnt felt like a kid in a long time, and he wanted nothing more than to be held by his mother.  She loves me Shanedespite the fact that Im a ***** fagshe wants meand I need that  His voice was low, and his hands trembled. 

Shane:  ***** Clive  Shane relaxed her body, despite her anger and her feeling of abandonment she was happy for Clive.  Just because she wasnt getting off the streets and into a home with a real mother, she shouldnt be angry that her best friend was getting to go home.  Im sorryIm happy for you man 

Clive pulled Shane into a big bear hug, squeezing her hard.  She felt her hands fist up again, and she still wanted to beat the ***** out of him; slowly she let herself hug him back. 

Clive:  Id knew youd understand  Clive let go and held Shane by her arms in front of him.  I dont have much timeand it took me longer than I thought to find youMom gave me some cash for some new shoesits only forty bucksI want you to take it.  He thrust the money into her hands.  I stopped by the shelter, and found some Sketchers in pretty good shape, so I dont think shell notice. 

Shane looked at the money.  She thought about throwing it back at him, but decided to keep it, after today shes going to need a few extra bumps of coke.
