Chapter twenty one
A couple of minutes later, Shane and Cassandra walked back to where they left their friend and boyfriends, only to find Ellie sitting there, waiting for them.
"Where'd Jay and Sean go?" Shane asked, adjusting her backpack on her shoulder.
"Oh, Sean said that he was gunna meet you at The Dot and Jay's waiting outside for you two so that you can get a ride from him there." Ellie said, standing up and putting the book that she was reading back into her bag.
"What about you, are you coming with us?" Cassandra asked.
"No. I have band practice, and then I gotta head home to make sure that my mom's taking her medication." Shane and Cassandra both just shrugged and then hugged their friend, and waited until Ellie rounded the corner and was out of sight before they both sighed in unison and headed out to the front parking lot, where Jay was waiting for them.

once they were out in the bright sun light, they scanned the parking lot for Jay's bright orange civic. But when they finally spotted it, Shane nearly cried at what she saw.
Jay was leaning up against the hood of his car, and Alex was resting her hands on his chest, kissing at his neck and cheek. Then, though it was barely noticeable, Alex spotted the cousins and smirked, moving in to kiss jay. And little did Cassandra and Shane know, but Jay was fighting her off. And as Alex's lips moved across Jay's, Shane's eyes widened and welled up with tears, but she didn't let her cousin see.
Taking a deep breath, Shane turned to Cassandra, "Cass, we're heading to The Dot by ourselves, then we're gunna ask Spinn for a ride to Jay's place, I'm moving out." With that, Shane stormed back into the school, not letting any of her tears fall.

Spinner had gratefully given them a ride to Jay and her's house, but he didn't stay for fear that he might get fired.
"I can't believe that he'd actually do that!!! That fucking bastard's cheating on me!!!!" Shane said harshly as she threw her clothes into her backpack and in the suitcases that had been put into her and Jay's closet.
After her rant about useless males, and cheating boyfriends was through, Shane sat down on the bed that she had shared with her boyfriend, completely out of breath.
Then the tears that she had been holding back for so long. Finally she just let them go. Cassandra sat next to her cousin as she cried, totally oblivious to the fact that an old, black jeep Cherokee had pulled into the drive way.
"whats going on in here?" Sarabelle asked from the doorway, quickly advancing on he best friends. Shane took a deep breath and stood as she wiped the tears from her eyes and cheeks.
"Sara, sorry that you had to drive all this way with T.C. and Jake, but we're gunna head over to Cassandra and Sean's, then when these couple of weeks of vacay are finally over, I'm heading back to New York with you." Sarabelle simply nodded and hugged her best friend. They sat there for a couple of seconds, and then they walked out to the jeep and headed out to Cassandra and Sean's house. Little did they know, but Jay was heading up the street to try and catch them before they left. But he didn't get there in time. All he saw when he arrived at his house was that all of Shane's stuff was gone, and he saw the black jeep driving away from his house, and that was the last Jay Hogart saw of Shane Marsters.
