Shay: When are you going to go back?

Carmen spun around to find a green-eyed boy looking up at her.

Carmen: Who are you?

Shay: I’m Shay. When are you going back?

Carmen: Back where?

Shay: Back to my sister.

Carmen: Aren’t I dead?

Shay: No, you’re just in a comatose stage.

Carmen: I don’t know how to go back.

Shay: Do you want to go back?

Carmen nodded.

Carmen: More than anything I want to be next to her.

Shay: Do you have any unfinished business?

Carmen: I don’t think so.

Mercedes: Carmencita.

Carmen: Mami!

Carmen ran towards the woman smiling at her. Shay watched them.

Mercedes: Why are you here? You should be with your father.

Carmen: Oh Mami, I was in an accident and Shane, Shane was there. I was trying to protect her.

Mercedes: My dear Carmen, so sweet. You’ve grown so much.

Carmen: I’ve missed you so much.

Mercedes: Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. I have Shay here keeping me company.

Carmen: Isn’t he Shane’s little brother.

Mercedes: Si, he’s told me all about his sister. And we’ve been watching over the two of you.

Carmen blushed.

Carmen: All the time?

Mercedes:  Not always, we just make sure you’re both okay.

Shay: Will you go back to my sister?

Carmen knelt down in front of Shay and ruffled his hair.

Carmen: I really want to, but I don’t know how.

Shay: Remember what you’ve forgotten.

Carmen looked at him confused.

Mercedes: That accident. You were taken afterwards by the woman who hurt you today. Your father was working with her.

Carmen: But why?

Mercedes: They were running deals and your father didn’t want to do something so dangerous, but she needed to keep him in the deal in order for the opposite side to keep up their end of the bargain.

Carmen: That’s why she broke up our family?

Mercedes: Carmen, what is important now is that you know it wasn’t an accident. But don’t dwell upon the past. Let it go. That way you can find your way back to Shane.
