Carmen: “We searched you and we found the place where you had your accident…The police officer told us that you were brought into a hospital with a helicopter…Your foot and several ribs are broken. There was pressure on your lung which made it bleed…You were hardly able to breathe on your own…Max, Bette and I went to the hospital and we were told that they had to operate you to relieve the pressure. The operation was successful. And now you’re here.”

Shane grins: “Well I’m alive, but I had this weird dream, which seemed so real. I dreamt that I died and I was at my friends’ apartment. A friend who died 4 months ago. Actually it opened my eyes concerning a lot of stuff. And I wanted to talk to you about something…”

Carmen’s POV

It’s 2 o’clock in the morning now and I still can’t sleep. I was supposed to work at the Planet but Kit didn’t want me to. I told her that I was okay, but I guess that she knew that I wasn’t.

I keep thinking about Shane’s accident. She could have been dead. I could have lost her forever…For a moment I thought that I did…when I saw the wreck of her car I thought that I lost her. I felt like somebody took my heart and tore it into thousand pieces. I started to cry and screamed her name. There were so many things I wanted to tell her…I wanted her to know that I still love her, although she humiliated me…that I forgive her…and that I made a mistake by accepting her proposal. I should have realized that she wasn’t ready. But I think that I didn’t want to face the truth. All this thoughts kept spinning in my head and at the same time believed that she was already gone…so I passed out. I woke up a couple of minutes later I guess. Max and Bette looked very concerned. They told me that Shane had been brought to the hospital. I immediately woke up and told them to hurry. First they didn’t want me to go but I insisted.

So we went to the hospital where we were told that Shane got operated. First the nurse didn’t want to tell us what injuries Shane received. I was ready to scream at her until she would give us the information we wanted. I was too nervous, there was no patience left. But for the nurse’s sake Bette talked to her and explained her that we are Shane’s family. Finally she gave in and told us that Shane’s lung was seriously hurt because of the pressure which was caused by broken rips. She also broke her foot and had several cuts, but she was going to be okay. I sighed loudly and sat down on a chair. I covered my face with my hands and felt Max’s hand on my shoulder. He told me not to worry about anything because he knew how strong Shane is. I smiled at him and told him that I was sorry for the way I treated him when we met. He told me that it’s okay and that he knew that I couldn’t be that bad, because Shane loved me so much. Well, the fact that he said Shane loved me so much hurt me a bit, because somehow I always thought she didn’t stop loving me…
