And Shane had abandon her.

She searched around for her cellphone and found it in her old bedroom. By nature of memory, she dialed Shane’s number. But she didn’t hit call, she couldn’t. What if Shane decided that it wouldn’t work out and told her that. What if Shane didn’t answer her call, knowing that it was her. What if Shane… All the incoherent thoughts floated around her mind. She forgot that just days ago Shane proposed to her, forgot that Shane loved her so much. All she could think of were the negative thoughts.

Deciding against calling, she flipped her cell close and flung it onto the bed. She raised her hands up to her hair, by habit, but came upon the baldness of her head. ‘That’s right, I have no more hair.’ She rolled her eyes.

Hair.

Carmen glanced at the clock. 10am it read. Knowing Shane’s work schedule by heart, she knew that Shane would be starting work at Wax now. Shane took on the job at Wax on a part-time basis, a stable income and a regular time, so that she could better take care of Carmen and provide for her. Yes. Shane would be at Wax. Or at least Carmen hoped so. She knew then what she had to do.

The only computer Carmen knew of in the house was in Roddy’s room. So she went in that direction. Roddy would be in school now, she thought, and true enough the room was empty. Messy, smelly and empty, just like a boy’s room. Usually, Carmen would have smiled at the thought, but now, she was on a mission, and that was the last thing on her mind.
