“shit” she ducked away, shaking her head.

Shane walked around the apartment, not doing anything, just thinking. She couldn’t understand why Carmen was back, why Alice had not told her about it. She sighed and sat down, leaning forward putting her head into her hands. She was confused, angry, upset and happy. All these emotions were cursing through her and she didn’t know which one to grab onto and go along for the ride with.

She was confused that Carmen was back, angry that Alice had not told her and upset with them all – Bette, Carmen and Alice for not telling her. But she was happy that Carmen was back. Back home where she belonged.

There were more emotions going through her head and heart but those were the ones that were prominent. Shaking her head she rubbed her eyes and swore loudly. “Fuck! What am I going to do? This is shit, for gods sake why why why!”

“You know talking to yourself is the first sign of madness” a voice spoke quietly from behind Shane.

Shane looked up from where she was sitting and slowly turned her head to the voice.
“Yeah I guess it is” she whispered “Hi Carmen”.

Love Lost, Love Gained – Part 28

Shane looked up from where she was sitting and slowly turned her head to the voice.
“Yeah I guess it is” she whispered “Hi Carmen”.

“Shane are we going?” Shay walked out of the kitchen, Shane didn’t even know that he had returned.
“Yeah we are. I think I have everything” she stood up grabbing the bulging bin liner of things.
“Can I carry it?” shay asked
“It’s too heavy for you” Shane moved to the door, shay following.
“We need to talk Shane” Carmen stated
Shane sighed and looked at Shay “I’ll meet you by the car, I won’t be long.”
“But”
“Please Shay. I promise I’ll be there in like 5minutes”
Shay sighed, threw a nasty look at Carmen then walked out of the door stamping his feet.

Shane put the bag down and looked at her, her breath was taken away, she looked absolutely stunning. There was only one person who could knock her breath away and she was standing in front of her.

“I’m sorry about Shay”
Carmen waved her hands stopping her “Don’t be, he cares about you, loves you. He doesn’t want you to get hurt”
“I guess.” Shane lent against the doorframe “Look I know you want to talk, I do too. I just need to process everything. I mean seeing you, its thrown me I admit that, can we talk tomorrow?”
“Sure. Are you going out Friday night?”
“Not sure, it all depends with Shay”
Carmen looked down. Wishing things were better between them.
“I know it’s your birthday, I’ll try okay. You know I wouldn’t miss it.” Shane bent down to pick up the bag. “Give me a ring tomorrow and I’ll let you know when I am free, or just come into Wax”
“Thanks Shane.”
Shane smiled slightly “you have nothing to thank me for. See you later”
