Shane was standing so close to me with the white sheets still in her hand and she pulls me into an embrace and the soft white sheets were draped around me. She whispered in my ear: 

 Shane: "Don’t be scared…bad things happen and it haunts us long after it has ever happened. But don’t let that prevent you from living you life  now! and if anything, you know I am right here, right?" 

 Carmen:"Right" Shane can be so comforting sometimes. I just rest my head on her shoulder for I don’t know how long, until Mr. Garrett yelled out from downstairs:

 Mr. Garrett: " You girls okay up there?" 

 Shane releases me from the embrace and the  white sheets are not around me anymore and I suddenly feel very cold. 

 me and Shane yell back in unison. "YEAH" 

 Shane: "Let’s fix our beds, come on "

 Shane starts stacking up the hay and covering it with the sheets to make our beds. She’s done making the first one and she’s going to make the other one. 

 Carmen: "Shane can you stay with me…please?"

 For once I thought it was probably asking too much. I knew Shane didn’t like to have sleepovers. I want to take back my words on second thought but I can’t. Surprisingly when I look up at Shane, I see her smiling. 

 Shane: "I guess in that case we have to make this bed bigger to fit me! come on help me out" 

 I smile back and help her. 

 Carmen: "I don’t think I can sleep in these horse clothes. Do you mind if I..?" 

 Shane: "NO of course not" 

 So I take off my overall and wear my strapless top and my boy shorts to bed. Shane strip down to the black tank top that she was wearing under her shirt and her black briefs. She looks amazing in black, with her black fringes on her forehead. I am soo cold right now. I just want her to take me right now in this bed of hay (or should I say I want to roll in the hay with Shane). I want to feel her tight abs up against me, and her soft lips against mine. 

 Shane: "Carm..CARM…what are you thinking? so you soo lost!" and she laughs…
