– Try and talk to her or call a doctor, I mean, have you alredy tried to talk with the school cancelour? Maybe he-

– Carmen, Carmen! The only person she would listen is you. You know that.

– I don’t think I’m getting your point…

– Oh please Carmen! She’s doing all this for you!

– Uhm… Alice I don’t-

– Please, just talk to her. You are our last chance. Can you just please go and try to talk to her? Just to tell her to stop doing all that shit… please… ?

– Well, even if I go, I’m not sure she would open the door…

– Please just try. She doesn’t have to work today, so you can-

– Yes, I know. – Carmen remembered very well that this was the day they would always pick to do big homeworks… – I can be there around five and then I tell you how it went…

– Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! You don’t know how much I apreciate this!

– It’s nothing. Talk to you later Alice. – Said Carmen with a shy smile.

– Bye Carmen!

Later that afternoon Carmen was in her home about to head towards Shane’s.

‘oh… fuck, what am I doing? I shouldn’t do this… but what if she’s really bad? I should help her. It will only be a chat between friends. I’ll just tell her to stop about whatever she’s doing and I’ll leave. That’s it. Yeah. Perfect…. Oh, what if she’s with someone? fuckkk’

Carmen was now in front of the door being unable to knock, suddenly that was a really hard task. Anyway she took al her courage and did it. One simple knock. But nothing came in return. Then another two’s. But again, nothing. She then decided to use her voice and screamed “Shane” a few times. Nothing back.

Suddenly weird noises became to sound from the apartment. It was like if someone were suddenly running out of air. “Shane!!” the brunette screamed louder and the noises seemed to stop. A dry scream was heard, it sound kind of like Shane saying something kind of like Carmen but it was really unheardble. “Shane are you there!?!?” Carmen was worried now while the voice seemed to cry for help. Suddenly every sound stopped and she only could heard someone knocking on the table and some glasses crash. Now panic was running trhough Carmen’s veins and she remembered the hiding place where Shane used to keep a key just in case she forgot hers. She opened the door as fast as she could and chocked when she entered the room. Shane was on the floor looking terrible and having what seemed like convultions. Carmen was mouth agape and mute, but managed to kneel down next to Shane.
