“Carmen, she´ll be okay”, Jenny said, noticing the lost look in Carmen´s eyes.

“Probably. But I know that `we`won´t be okay”, Carmen sniffed and stood up.

“Let her alone for a while”, Tina stopped Jenny who wanted to follow Carmen.

Everything was silent. It turned dark outside and Carmen still sat on the back porch.

The others were gone, just Jenny sat in the kitchen and was typing on her laptop.

Carmen sighed out loud and looked up into the sky.

What would have her father done right now?

She felt so helpless. Her father would have stood up strong and would have tried to get his girl back. Carmen knew this. But she felt weak and tired. Everything was way much harder without Shane by her side. The whole live seemed to be insupportable without Shane.

She made a promise to herself that she would do everything to get Shane back. Shane was her life without her she was unable to breath.

Her body trembeled. It was getting cold so Carmen decided to go in and take a look at Shane.

Jenny looked up from her laptop as Carmen entered the kitchen.

“You are looking like Shane did these past few weeks”, Jenny noticed simply without wanting to blame Carmen.

“Are you mad at me?”, Carmen asked looking at Jenny with tired, red eyes.

“I don´t know what it means to have such a close family like you have Carmen. So I´m not in the position to judge you. Shane and you are my best friends. I hate it to see you both hurting each other. You know that Shane never had a family and she would rather let you go so you can be with your family then being selfish to keep you and see you unhappy. Even if it would kill her.

But I know that you both belong together so I won´t rest until I see you both happy together again”, Jenny replied smiling and got up from her chair to give Carmen a supportive hug.

“Thank you, Jen”, Carmen whispered stired and hugged Jenny back.

She closed the door quietly. Shane still seemed to be asleep.
