Missing. 9
To see Shane alive and well. To know that she was that close to being dead and gone. To know after all that, I still wouldn’t change anything to see her now. Maybe walking on that fault line, maybe treading those murky waters of her mind, maybe it gave her the closure she needed. I haven’t seen Shane this care free in all the time we have been together.
I turn back to the water and give them their moment and I wonder about my son. And I wonder about how all this is marking him. I whisper that mommy is coming home. I whisper that Shane is coming home.
I feel Shane’s arms around me. I feel her plant a series of small kisses on the back of my neck. I take a deep breath and lean my head back against her. The view of the mainland, the repetitive sound of waves hitting beach. The sun high in the sky….I can almost feel like I am standing on the edge of the world.
“I called the pilot and he is waiting on us.”
“Cool…..um Carmen?”
“Yeah?”
“I need to go home and see some things….show you some things….some places really…..um….there are things about me you should know…..things I have done and things that I just need to say goodbye to….would you mind if we made a detour once we got back to L.A.?
“No I don’t mind…but I am guessing Peggy War Bucks would…”
“Yes…so?”
“Lets do it; it will really piss her off to make her wait.”
Ch 20
I called and left a message for Peggy saying that we would be delayed a bit longer. There really was not much she could say. She needed us way more than we needed her. Shane seemed amused by all of it. She could not stop asking me what exactly Jimmy did to upset her.
We land and head to the beach house I bought in Malibu. Shane is surprised when I tell her and I am not sure why. She walks around taking it all in. Its not a big house just enough room for Marco to play and me to not to go insane. She asks me why Malibu? I tell her to more like I show her the view.

This is so beautiful. The fact that you put Deftones in there…that song especially is the icing on the cake. I won’t wax, but I love this story. Very intense and well-constructed. The dynamics come through so neatly even when the plot gets messy. LOL. A true work of art IMO 8)
thogut that sharmen fans are calmer than other ship fans. like shane. haha.. hellcat! i can call carmen from now. shane’s “goodbye trip” is like a summary all of your fanfics. actually am i not a huge fan of songs but you made me look for that featurin songs.
god this was soo cool…. it made MY heart thump, thump, haha…. i’m so inlove with them… with the story. this is so awesome. OMG rge hellcat thing was great….i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That last piece was beautiful. That hug, such a simple thing to do, but it means so much to someone like Carmen, who had thought she lived in someone else’s shadow, who had thought she was just a body to Shane, a reminder. But now she’s okay, and Shane’s okay, and they owe that to each other and that insanely intense love they share. That’s fricken awesome. (B-Sides and Rarities. It’s a damn good album. I love the “No Ordinary Love” cover; it sounds so twisted. Kind of reminds me of this story.)
I finally caught up and Im really sad you are going to stop after this. Ive enjoyed all your stories and really, they were the only reason why I kept coming back to read Fan Fics. I just want to say thank you for keeping this couple going and seeing how amazing they are together.
SWEET. I love that Shane took Carmen to see her most memorable places. Carmen finally understands that Shane loves her. Wonderful.
