“What Shane?” asks Carmen, gently, trying to diffuse an volatile situation.
“You can call me emotionally stunted but I just couldn’t cope with both things at the same time. I didn’t believe in myself enough to cope with all the unravelling that I knew would come with trying to piece my family back together, and I definitely didn’t have enough courage to think that wouldn’t get scared off by how ugly it was all going to be.”
“For someone who says that they don’t really believe in true love you have a very idealistic view of how it should be.”
“I don’t understand”
“Shane, even if I had seen the worst of you, I still would have loved you then. It wouldn’t have mattered to me how ever bad it got, can’t you see that?”
“I can now, but not at the time. At the time I wanted to run as far away as I could and nurse all the open wounds that came with confronting the person that was supposed to show me what love was really about.”
Carmen looks at me, with an understanding that I can barely stand. It feels like my heart is breaking all over again. I spent months convincing myself that I wasn’t really in love with Carmen, it was just something different, and then the acceptance came. That was when I really hit rock bottom and it was Bette that kept making me get back up again, just like I had done for her when Tina left for New York.
“Tina’s back in LA.” I say, wanting a break from the turmoil.
“I know.” says Carmen, smiling back at me.
“She was the one that told you I was here?”
“Yeah. I don’t know how she did it but she found out where I was working last night and called me. She told me what happened and how that you were having a hard time remembering what had happened. She never asked me to come and see you, see just thought that it was important that I knew what was happened. Which I thought was strange considering how long it’s been since we last saw each other.”
“I kind of gave Tina a hard time yesterday, about how she should talk to Bette, try to get some definitive answers…”

Am I the first? Haven’t read it yet, but I am sure it will be great as always.
Very interesting – maybe Carmen and Shane can find resolution even if Tina and Bette can’t – although I am hoping they do just like Shane. Great chapter.
beautiful talk between shane and carmen. Hope they work it out
wow this talk between shane and carmen was great!
Argh, so good it hurts! Can’t wait for more!
Excellent dialogue. Very substantial chapter. Now on to B & T.
loved the talk between Shane and Carmen. Now i hope that Shane get that second chance and fight to have Carmen back and be happy.
I hope that Bette and Tina can also make it up!!!
great dialogue! can B&T have such mature and meaningful conversation? going by your past stories, your characters are all mature.. waiting to read when B/T meet.. assuming it’s gonna happen.
cool, so maybe there’s hope for all of them, carmen and shane, bette and tina, and even alice
OK..now we need B & T to talk and get their crap together. thanks for the chapter and can’t wait for the next.
yay, bring on the double wedding but not in Whistler, i mean B and T, S and C…they all belong together; and find a love for Alice soon..she so needs someone to love her forever….
Not a Sharmen fan but this was a pretty good chapter. If only Bette and Tina can talk like this instead of having a yelling match. That is, if they actually get to talk.
Okay I have made a final decision and I just don’t want to Tibette reunion. I am more interested in the Sharmen thing. Waiting patiently to hear this heavy duty conversation with Tina and Bette. Post soon!
Perfect! Somehow, I don’t think that if there’s a conversation between Bette and Tina that it will so as smoothly as this!
I hope Bette and Tina talk and I hope they get back together. Is that asking for too much?
another wonderful chapter! i can’t wait to read more! please post asap! =)
Well, maybe this the right time for everyone, Shane and Carmen and Bette and Tina. Maybe they all can get back to the ones they truly love. That would be wonderful. here’s hoping.
So happy to see at least one of the couples have been given a second shot of working their feelings out. I know that this is your story, but I really do miss Bette and Tina being together. They at least need to talk. But it looks like neither of them are ready and both will never have the closure that is needed to really move forward. Oh well thats fucking life.
Hey CG75, I liked this chapter a lot. Having Carmen and Shane finally talk things out was wonderful. Great to see that there is still hope there for a new and improved relationship. Carmen really gets Shane and now realizes why it did work in the past but maybe now a little older and wiser things can blossom as they should have. The insightful moments for how Shane feels about the rest of the gang was perfect. I wanna see how much harder Shane has to work to get Carmen. Can’t wait so pls post soon. Thank you so much. You Loyal (if lurking) Fan.
Wow, great dialogue! Will Tina and Bette get to talk before Tina leaves … hope so…
