Not wanting to make a scene, Shane breaks the silence. “ Come and get your shit today, otherwise, its going to Goodwill.” Shane had no emotion on her face and began walking away from Carmen.

            With Shane still in earshot, Carmen blurts out,” Well, can I, uhh… het it how?” not wanting Shane to leave. She wanted to tell her everything, but didn’t know how.

            Turning to face her, Shane replies,” I don’t care when you get it, but since no one is home, your going to have to wait until I get there.”

            “Well, if you’re way home now, how about I drive you?”

Shane stands in silence for a moment thinking if whether that would be a good idea, but realizes, the sooner they get this over with, the sooner she can try to restart her life.

            “Fine.” Shane says, still as emotionless as ever, getting into Carmen’s car.

Carmen gets in and heads towards her old home. They were silent for the most part. The only noise coming from inside the car was from the radio, 106.7, KROQ…

 “… Now this next song we have coming at you is Marilyn Manson’s Coma White…”

There’s something cold and blank behind her smile
She’s standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile

Cos’ you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away…

“ Umm..” Carmen starts off, breaking their silence,” I…I’m sor…”

Shane cuts her off before she could finish, “ No! I don’t want to hear whatever piss-poor excuse you’re getting ready to tell me right now. I just want to get this done and over with as quick and painless as possible.”

            “I know and I’m sorry, I…” Carmen tries to start again, but Shane turns the radio’s volume up to full blast, drowning out the sound of Carmen’s voice.

A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Wont save her from herself

Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a polaroid that
Lost all her dolls
