Dana nods: “You got scared, didn’t you?”

Shane looks at her feet. The is ashamed of herself.

Shane: “Yes…I met my dad in Oregon. He has a new wife and a son. His name is Shay. I was so relieved to see that my dad was able to have a familiy. I knew that he left my mum because of some chick, so I thought he was a player…Just like I used to be.”

Shane tells Dana what happened since her death. She tells her that she left Carmen because of not wanting to hurt her the way her father did it to Carla. She also tells her about Shay who, she had to take care of since his mother left him at their porch and what happened to Carmen and her after the non-wedding.

Dana: “Friendship? That’s all she wants from you?”

Shane: “Yes, that’s what she told me after we almost slept together again.”

Dana: “Oh come on. You Carmen and Shane in one room without having sex? Or without kissing at least?! You know that’s impossible, Shane.”

Shane laughs: “Well, somehow it has to work. And it’s not easy for me, because whenever she’s in the same room with me I just want to jump on her and kiss her down.”

They giggle. Suddenly Shane is quiet.

Dana: “Hey. Is everything alright with you?”

Shane: “I…I guess I know why I’m here…”

Dana: “Okay…so…what happened to you?”

Shane: “I was at the planet when Max called me. He told me that my father came and took Shay away. I was so angry. I took the car and left to get Shane back. On my way to Oregon Carmen called me. She told me to come back home and sleep to calm down before talking to my father. I agreed…but there was this car in front of me…I drove fast as hell and I…tried to brake and I immedialty changed the direction…I crashed into the guard rail…”

Shane looks Dana deep into her eyes. The shock is written on her face.

Shane: “I’m dead…”

Bette’s car

Bette, Max and Carmen are on the highway. A traffic jam is in front of them.

Max: “Hey there must have been an accident when there’s a traffic jam at this time.”

Carmen looks out of the window and sees the police car.

Carmen: “Max is right, there must have been an accident. Can you stop over there, Bette?”

Bette: “Yes. God, I hope Shane wasn’t involved in this accident. Look at the guard rail. Somebody must have crashed into it.”

They get out of the car and approach the police car. A police officer talks to a person explains something to him by gesturing.

Bette smiles friendly at the officer: “Officer…I’m sorry to interrupt you but…we are afraid that a friend of us might be involved in the accident. Could you tell me what kind of car was involved?”

Before the officer can answer Carmen can see the wreck of Shane’s car. She breaks down but before she falls on the ground Max catches her.

Carmen: “This can’t be true!! Shane!!!”

“You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You’ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don’t take my sunshine away”
