Carmen

p.s. Please open your heart again Shane. When you find that special girl give her all of you. Give her the places that even my love couldn’t touch. You are too special of a person to be alone. I wish you all the luck in life. Goodbye my lover.

I can hear Jenny fold the letter and place it back in the envelope. I can’t move I am stuck in the sitting position by the tub. My body is shaking and I can’t stop sobbing.

“Shane honey open the door.”

I am silent and Jenny begins to bang on the door. I ignore her and move to the medicine cabinet. There has to be something for me to take in here to make the pain go away.

“I took everything out Shane. I knew what you would do if given the chance.”

Jenny says it so quietly and then I hear her heels retreat from the door. I just hold myself and rock. I can’t stop crying and then I just start screaming. I smash the bathroom mirror and knock all of the stuff done of the shelves. I start throwing whatever I can find.

“FUCK YOU CARMEN. JUSt FUCK YOU AND ALL THE BULLSHIT PROMISES YOU MADE. FUCK YOU AND IF I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN THAT’LL BE TOO SOON.”

I am yelling and continuing to throw stuff. Next thing I know the door flies upon and Max comes tumbling through. The door is knocked off its hinges.

“I got it from here Max.”

“Sorry Shane she told me to.”

I watch Max walk away silently cursing him for being so strong. Jenny stands there staring at me and then the mess that I have made.

“Do you feel better?”

She offers me her hand and I sink further away from her. She moves slowly towards me till were both backed up against the wall. She puts her arm around me and I try to resist her at first, but before I know it my body sinks into hers and we fall to the ground. She holds me into her arms and I just sob.

“There there sweetie let it all out. You just let it all out.”
