Light leaves that life
Summary: When a teenage girl commits suicide Shane's life starts to crumble down. Calls at midnight, intimidation and even violent infringements threaten to take over her life.
Dislcaimer: Don't own...
As Shane crawled out of bed carefully the sky was totally dark. No stars shone on the firmament the moon too small to illuminate the dark blanket of a sky. But it wasn't actually dark outside only the sky itself. The town was almost bright. Illuminated advertisement signs blinked, street lamps did their job brightened up the night. It must be around one in the morning. Not really late for Shane. Due to the sources of light outside Shane was able to make out the slender figure lying in bed relaxed and sleeping peacefully. Despite the peaceful picture in front of her and the beautiful woman she'd leave behind she didn't feel guilty for her behaviour at all. Quietly she tip toed around to collect her clothes. She didn't want to wake her and then have to face her. As she found her clothes she opened the door quietly and carefully stepped out not looking at the sleeping figure again into the dark hallway. After closing the door behind her she got dressed and with a look at her watch she decided that it was too early to drive home so she headed to the next bar and was promptly faced by a stunning appearance.
Everybody will know what happened next from here.
Since she had cheated on Page she'd fallen back into old habits. Many hearts had been left behind broken. It had only taken some month and old Shane was back.
Somewhere under someone's sheets.
Haley sat at her desk that stood right under the window. As she looked out of the window the sky was totally dark. No stars on the firmament and the moon too small to illuminate the dark blanket of a sky. Outside town, where she and her parents lived, very little light brightened up the night. That night Haley sat chewing on her pencil contemplating how to write this letter. In her heart she knew what she had to say but she had no idea how to phrase it so that everyone who was meant to read it would understand. She loves her, loves her deeply but those words she needed to bring on paper were so hard to formulate.
When she put the pencil down, messaged her throbbing wrist and reading the letter over once again she sighed relieved and placed it on her bed, the sun had started to rise. Softly the morning light crawled into her room and she could her birds sing in the near tree she used to climb on from her window to get out. Or friends used it to climb up to her window and into her room in the middle of the night. She already touched the door handle to open it when she remembered that wonderful night. She had met the woman that broke her heart in a bar she was not allowed to be in in the first place. Fist of all she was under age and secondly her parents had forbidden it. She had seen her and hadn't been able to keep herself from staring at her. Haley had been rooted to the bar sipping her drink. As she had been distracted only for a second she had lost view of that woman. While her eyes had been searching the crowd a incredibly sexy voice had asked her to go somewhere else. They had stood under her window looking up. Haley remembered her amused smile as if it had been yesterday. Finally both had climbed that damn tree and Haley had never forgotten that night. She had dreamed of a future together, starting to meet, starting to date and finally... But that dreams had flown out of the window when she had awoken alone in the morning. She had not even left a note or something. Had just disappeared as if she had never been there, as if she was just a dream.
She looked around one last time opened the door, walked out of her room, out of her parents' house, the house she had grown up in, away from her parents finally walked out of life.
"Hey Shane look at this!" Alice exclaimed staring at a pamphlet hanging at a traffic light.
Shane turned and followed Allice gaze. Her face blank eyes widened in shock.
"Beware of the murderer.!!!!!! That killed my daughter" Alice read out loud disbelievingly. "What did you do now Shane?" Alice asked completely shocked.
The pamphlet showed a picture of Shane and the text written under it stood out. It was impossible to not see. A bog red arrow pointed at Shane's face.
Shane just shrugged feeling numb and incapable of saying something or thinking still staring at her picture and trying to process what was written under it. Suddenly she turned and crossed the street and was halfway through the door of the planet when Alice caught up.
"What are you gonna do now?" Alice asked breathlessly. "You could sue. Because of slandering."
Shane faced her and stared blankly through her saying nothing.
Suddenly two young women walking by stopped in track when they recognised her from the pamphlets hanging everywhere in town. They stared at her with a mix of disgust, hate and fear on their faces. The stares were so hard and intense that Shane broke the stare which the women took as a confession. Alice grabbed Shane and pulled her away from them seating her at their usual table and heading off to get some coffee. The others had seen those pamphlets too and were eyeing Shane carefully and concerned. No one spoke due to the lack of things to say. Alice came back with a concerned Kit on her heels.
"Oh my god girl. Alice just told me. You okay? Can we do anything? I mean sure we can, we' re gonna sue. Fight. Everything. Right girls?" the last bit was directed to the others.
Everybody nodded in agreement and started to comfort Shane. But Shane simply stared blankly through everyone and didn't hear what was said. She couldn't believe someone would try to harm her that way. She couldn't believe she knew someone playing such a sick trick on her. Her only explanation was that this must be some kind of a absolutely sick joke. It couldn't be something else. She hadn't killed someone.
