Missing. 9
“Carmen this place is amazing how in the hell did you afford it?”
“Well the realtor had a little crush on me. And the plumbing is shit, the pool is disgusting, the roof is leaky and the best part…the owner was in debt and needed cash no questions….no real paper trail…so I had a bag of money and here I am…”
“You bought a drug dealers house?”
“Oh no honey I bought a stock brokers house. He needed to go I needed to stay …it couldn’t have worked out better.”
Shane she just smiles.
“Well don’t worry we will get it all fixed….”
“The best part is in the garage…come on follow me.”
I take her hand and drag outside…the door that leads to the garage is sealed shut for some odd reason. I click the remote for the garage and nothing happens at first. I click a second time and the door opens slightly. I click it a third and finally it creaks and groans open.
“My father’s car….”
“Yup our getaway car…just like you left it at the airport last year….well I drove it a little here and there but its still good…”
“Carmen thank you so much…this is all I have of them…my folks…..thank you…”
“Your welcome….so where are we going….”
“A trip down memory lane…to say goodbye….up for it?”
My answer is to toss the keys at her…which of course she catches……
We drive for a while and I feel like we were going in circles. This road winds and turns so much. We stop at the top of this steep hill. On a road called Mullholland Drive . Shane gets out and lights a cigarette. It hangs off her lip as she looks around. Cars go by here and there.
“Shane?”
“Listen…..”
‘What am I listening for?”
“That sound of tires taking the turns too fast…..”
I don’t get it.
“Shane….?”
“You see this?”

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.
