Pt.3 Drama

    Over the next couple of weeks Carmen and Shane moved in together, the day Carmen was moving her stuff out of Sloan’s house; Shane was at work leaving her with the jeep to get her stuff. Carmen felt her heart aching every time she would take a box to the back of the jeep. As she was headed out with her last two boxes and some clothes, walking out to the jeep she noticed the blue Nissan Z pull up to the house fast stopping almost on the grass, Sloan got out of the car and walked passed her and into the house.

“Today must be the day, Sloan said holding the door open. Carmen just stood there with the box in her hand. “Yeah, well” she said clearing her throat

“Do you need help” Sloan said coldly, she felt betrayed, she was hurting her badly and Carmen knew it.

“I only have that box and some clothes in the closet”

   Carmen carried her clothes and put them in the front seat. Carmen went back into the house, finding Sloan in a black tank and sweats, which reminded her of Shane so much.” I’ll get that box for you” Sloan put it in the trunk “Got everything” as Sloan closed the trunk, Carmen stood behind her biting her bottom lip, she was lost for words.

“I guess” Carmen said as she was fishing through her pocketbook attempting to give the key back to Sloan. She didn’t want Sloan to see that she had tears in her eyes. Silence fell between the two.

“You know I didn’t ask for this” Carmen began to say “I can’t help how I feel.

“Then why did you say yes, you could’ve said no, and gave it some thought.

“I know, but it felt so right” Carmen hesitated on giving the key back to Sloan.

“Well, I guess this is goodbye then”, Sloan expressed tilting her head to the side, looking Carmen dead in the eyes, as she gripped the key into the palm of her hand.

Carmen wiped her eyes, “ No it’s not, I will see you at my wedding and engagement party” I just have to find a way of telling my mother that I am engaged to the one person she truly hates.
