A car stopped next to them. Bette jumped out of the car and ran towards them.

She got down in front of Shane and took a look at her. The part above Shanes right eyebrow was bloody and swollen. Her lips had a purple colour and she was trembling hard.

“God”, Bette whispered.

“I thought the same”, Kit said and opened the co-driver door to get Shane inside the car.

“Do you need a ride, too”, Bette asked her sister.

“No thank you. It stopped raining. You should drive her straight home”, Kit answered.

“Okay, thank you Kit. I’ll call you tomorrow”, Bette said while she walked around her car.

“Take care of her”, Kit said goodbye.

“I will”, Bette replied and got in her car. 

Shane looked with tired eyes at her.

“Are you okay?”, Bette asked serious.

“Have you seen Carmen?”, Shane didnt answer Bette’s question.

“She’s with the others at home. She’s waiting for you”, Bette replied and lied a hand in Shanes neck. She looked like she would faint every moment.

Bette started the car.

“Wait.”, Shane said with kind of panic in her eyes.

“Why? Shane I need to get you home. Youre under cooled and your head doesn’t look good either”, Bette replied.

“I…I don’t know..can we just sit here for a while”, she murmured.

“Whats wrong Shane? Nobody is condemn you. We are your friends, your family. Don’t you think we knew this before?”, Bette spoke and stroke with her hand through  Shanes wet hair.

Shanes eyes filled with tears.

“But I don’t know if I can talk to Carmen about..about everything”, Shane said depressed.

“She loves you Shane. You don’t have to vindicate in front of her. She just wants you back. Im sure she’ll give you all the time you need”, Bette tried to take Shanes qualms away.

“Now I’ll drive you home. You need to get out of the wet cloth.”

Carmen was walking up and down the living room when she heard steps outside the house.

She stopped in her movement and looked to the door, which was open from the outside and Bette stepped in followed by Shane.

Carmens face lighted up as she saw Shane but she didnt know how to react. Should she just go to her?
