“Why do you make me feel like this?” she choked on her tears.
“I’m sorry” Shane’s face crumpled as she looked at the hurt she’d inflicted.
“Why can’t I just hate you?”
“I don’t know” Shane shook her head.
“All this time I’ve wanted to scream and…and…just hit you…”
“Do it”
“And now you’re here I can’t. I look at you and I can’t do it”
“Baby…”
“Why is that Shane? Why can’t I hate you?”
“I don’t know” Shane dissolved into tears once more.
“I’ll tell you why. It’s coz I love you. Alright? I still fucking love you” Carmen yelled.
“Why?” Shane whispered.
“I don’t know. But I do ok” Carmen loosened her grip on Shane’s face so her hands cupped her cheeks.
Shane nodded and held eye contact. Slowly Carmen leant and brushed her lips against Shane’s. Their lips were barely touching, yet it was like a fire had been ignited in Shane’s stomach. They stayed still in that position, neither of them wanting to make the next move, but neither of them wanting to break away from the other.
Back in her house, Bette could no longer deal with the silence and switched on the radio. She kicked herself when she heard the song that was playing, but couldn’t bring herself to turn it off.
You’ve been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
I can’t go to you for consolation
Cause we’re off limits during this transition
This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can’t stop bumping into things
She turned to the shelf behind her and picked up a photo of her and Tina. It had been taken five years ago on a holiday to a country cottage. Happy times. When they’d had no troubles.
I thought we’d be simple together
I thought we’d be happy together
Thought we’d be limitless together
I thought we’d be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken
Softly Bette ran her finger over Tina’s face in the picture. They had their arms round each other, smiling. And even now, Bette was struck by her beauty. After all this time, all this hurt, Tina’s face still evoked feelings in her.

I’m glad Shane and Carmen are taking things one step at a time . . . it’s so cute them just lying in each others arms, that’s so fuckin’ cute!! Wonderful job, please continue! Now if you will excuse me, I have to go buy some more tissue, lol . . . LYLAS
As much as I hate song fics, this is really good! Very emotional, and some of the better written stuff on this site.
good updateif shane says baby again i’ll scream
So much emotion. Your writing is great. I usually skip over Sharmen stuff in stories, but I love yours. I’m in physical pain for Bette. Tina… I don’t know. I want to see Bette move on, but somehow the Tibetter in my just can’t let go.
the songs are great, and i’m glad that at least carmen gives it another chance unlike tina and my heart is breaking for bette, i hope real tina will come back
These are very emotional chapters! Really well done. My heart breaks for Bette, and for Shane and Carmen. And, I am trying to feel heartache for Tina as well, but until I find out why she is being such a snake, I will wait! Thanks!!!
what’s up with tina 2.0? she’s a biatch! boo! much love for the sharmen and let’s all pray tina 2.0 gets an upgrade…
Holy shit you just made me cry! Glad everythings ok with shane and carmen, but poor Bette! My heart is breaking for her! anyway post as soon as you can! thanx
I think we will be looking a long time for the Tina we knew and loved. It just wasn’t Bette affair,it was a lot of thing. Henry will never be proud of Angie and will try to make Tina the same way, Ashamed of her mix heiratage Glad that Carmen is going to try to give Shane another chance. When Tina understands that one mistake does place you on the floor and for everyone to wipe their feet on.Then she might come back. Lets see if Bette get new bedroon furniture and redo the bed room. thanks
OK, not fair, you’re making me cry at work! Very nice chapter. Poor Bette. I’d like to slap Tina. Bette baby, you can over by me, I’ll make you feel better like Carmen is with Shane.
Aww so damn cute.I love the end. Shane and Cramen just lying in each others arms!!! Great job!!!
Hey there BealsBaby, You are certainly post them fast and loose. And want fabulous chapters they are. It is heartbreaking to see Bette and Tina at each other’s throats as Shane and Carmen slowly and delicately move back into each other’s arms. This was a piece of poetry as the mistakes of the past were dealt with and a new brighter day began. If only Bette and Tina could recapture some of their past desire and understanding. Either that or a 2 x 4 smacked on their heads. Oh what will tomorrow bring. Please post more so I can dive into your wonderful waters and enjoy your wicked words washing over me. More please, real soon. Your Loyal Fan.
