“Dana-”

“Shane, I don’t want to-”

“Dane. You need to tell me, that’s just how it’s going to be.” Dana kept looking at the ground, tears welling as she didn’t dare argue anymore.

“I broke her heart,” she whispered, scared at her own words. In disbelief that she could do such a thing.

“Why?” Shane whispered, hurt seeping into her own voice like a toxic poison. Dana was silent.

“You love her,” Shane told her. She didn’t think Dana would reply cause they both already knew this was true and that the other knew it too, but Dana nodded heartbrokenly and more tears sprung to her already red eyes.

“I’m scared. I don’t want to break her heart later. Because- Because we fall more in love every single day, and everything has to end sometime- a- and I’m afraid if we fall apart later on down the road I’ll-” Dana broke and Shane was immediately at her side, rubbing her back. But not before she whispered Dana’s fear

“Die-” Shane said, ever so softly. Dana could her the tears in Shane’s own voice as she threw her face into her hands and sobbed for the first time since the break-up. She’d been holding it all in hoping she could stop feeling. After awhile she stopped and Shane was able to talk to her again. She saw Carmen sit at a table a few over, she was watching them but Shane was too focused on Dana and the pain they were both feeling right then.

“I know Dana, I know. Cause- Don’t you think I’ve been there already, with Carmen? In my own head, I’ve battled this battle already. I fought this fight. And I guess the good side won cause well cause, just look what I’ve got now! I’ve got issues with love, more then you’ll ever have. And that’s just the truth. I know your hurting baby, but it’s not fair to Alice or yourself if you put distance between you two like this. You might not find your way back-”

“That’s the point,” Dana ground out the words angrily and Shane was almost shocked by it.

“You love each other. And I know your afraid of it ending, but pain is something we all have to deal with. And if you don’t at least try your damndest for love You’ll never be happy,” Shane struggled to find the right words. “Your hurting now right?” Dana nodded. “Well what if you and Alice could spend the rest of your life’s together, happier then ever. Then your putting yourself and her through this for nothing-”
