Lara: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t yell at you like that.
Carmen steps closer to Lara once again and takes her hands.
Carmen: It’s because you’re holding it all in.
Lara: I just can’t, Carmen. I’m sorry.
Carmen nods with her eyes closed.
Carmen: Okay. I’m…gonna go back outside to the studio.
Lara: Well…you don’t have to if you don’t want to.
Carmen: What do you mean…?
Lara’s hands tighten slightly against Carmen’s.
Lara: I know it sounds silly, but…I’m afraid to be alone tonight.
Carmen: I know how you feel. I feel the same way.
Carmen’s hands let go of Lara’s before she raises her arms to around Lara’s shoulders. Lara’s hands rest against Carmen’s hips.
Carmen: I told you I was worried about you.
They are both able to smile if only for a moment as they rest the right side of their heads against each other. It’s a moment of tranquility in a time of very little.
Next door, there is no tranquility as Bette buries her face in the pillows. The only thing left to keep her alive now is Angelica.
While Bette cries to herself, Shane stands before the church and sky, proceeding to talk to no one, but God almighty.
Shane: I…really hope I have your attention right now. Because…this isn’t very nice. Why, God…? What was the point? To show that this is just another challenge to overcome? Well I got news for ya… I’m not in the mood to play Job right now.
Shane’s voice shakes as she continues looking up to the sky.
Shane: It wasn’t just enough to take Dana, was it? She was too fucking young for that. The rest of my friends were, too! They were good people…why take them??? Why couldn’t you just take me instead? That way there’d be less hurt! That way…people could move on and not have to worry so much. Why couldn’t you just spare them and take me? What purpose do I fucking serve just to be here now??? ‘Cause I don’t know anymore! Why, God?
A soft wind blows against her cheek as she takes a deep breath.
Shane: I’m trying to understand, God… I really am. But you make it so…fucking hard sometimes. Don’t you have any remorse? Don’t you feel just a little bad, God? Instead of threatening to damn, couldn’t ya just give one for once? Is that too much to ask, God? Is it? Fuck…

Ahh Kace, I love the way you keep seeming to pair up Carmen and Lara, thanks for being the only writer I’ve found so far who will write about these two together. You write very well man, keep it up!
Good chapter, you took 9 wonderful people in a flash. Well i will continue to read. Not to many more to get rid of. If you get rid of them then you would have no story. Carman,Lara Shane and Bette, Bette does have Angie. thanks
Although others may find it bleak, I like the fact that there aren’t too many characters to deal with (I know that’s kinda morbid). Pps Kace my curiosity is piqued.
can’t wait to see how you’ll keep unwinding this tale…very sad indeed but again, so much potential for where to go–looking forward to updates (soon, please;)
This really is intriguing. I’m fascinated by all the grief. Great job.
Do I sense a little Shuta in the future?
Gosh, it’s so bleak, I don’t even know what to say except for “Good chapter.” Heh, that’s a pathetic attempt at a comment. I hope Shane can find some answers… and someone needs to be there for Bette. I don’t know how she’s going to cope. Thanks, Kace
Ok, well I’ll continue reading even though this is pretty grim. Still, I’m curious what you have planned. Hope all the girls get help!!
I just… that beginning part, my heart was just breaking for Bette. Yet, the pain seems to be magnetic, and I’m really fascinated by the care with which you’re weaving this rather delicate and ambitious tale. Looking forward to how it unfolds.
