Shane heard a knock on the door.
She opened it.
"Sarah. That is your name right? Or is it Sandra?"
Sarah laughed. "Very funny. Hilarious. My sides are splitting."
She walked past Shane and into the apartment, flopping herself down on the couch.
Shane shut the door and sat down on the nearby chair.
"So what brings this impromptu visit?"
"Can't a girl visit a friend now a days without being questioned?"
"Wow" exclaimed Shane sarcastically "I'm a friend now."
Sarah smirked. "Yeah, that and my fucking buddy"
Shane winced at the brutal truth of her words.
"Sorry." Said Sarah "A little too soon?"
"Just a bit." Replied Shane.
"So." Said Sarah "Back to why I'm here."
"Yeah?" prompted Shane.
" I need a place to crash for the night. I was hoping, maybe.."
Her voice trailed off and Shane sat back on her chair.
"Stay here." Sarah nodded. "With me" Sarah nodded again. "Why again?"
Sarah sighed long and low.
"Mygirlfriendfoundoutthatisleptwithyouandshekickedmeout."
"What?" said Shane. "You have a girlfriend?"
"Yes. No. I don't know. Kinda." Sarah protested, "It's not like that."
"Then how is it then?"
"I was a drug addict. I met Carmen at the clinic."
"Whoa!" said Shane "Stop there. Carmen?"
"Yeah" said Sarah ? "Will you let me finish?"
"Anyways, we both got clean. We hooked up a couple times, but nothing too serious. She was still reeling from a bad break-up and her family had disowned her. She wasn't in the right space of mind for anything.
Then we went our separate ways until about a month ago. She called and I came running. She said she missed me. We hung out for a while. Then about a week ago we kissed. Then she ran off, figuring that I'd messed up I moved on."
Sarah looked up at Shane.
"The day after we" Shane looked at her, her eyebrows raised "Well, you know, she calls. Says she's sorry she ran off and can we talk. As always I go running and we're together. Said she saw an old friend and she was finally ready, y'know? So I tell her about you and she goes all quiet, like and tells me to come back tomorrow. Says she needs space for the night."
Sarah gazed off out the window and Shane willed herself to ask.
"What does she look like?"
Sarah turned to Shane "Oh. She's beautiful. I don't have a picture of her with me. I should really though she's like my best friend."
Shane got up and went to her bedroom. "Shane?" Sarah after her.
When Shane came back out she was carrying a photo. She handed it to Sarah and sat down waiting for her reaction.
"How, how did you get this?" asked Sarah.
"Do you know much about the her ex?"
"Yeah" said Sarah "Good for nothing, daughter of a cow, lying bitc.."
Her voice trailed off as she put one and two together.
"You" Shane nodded "and her?" Shane nodded again. "You're the bitch ex?"
Shane stuck out her hand to Sarah. "Nice to meet you."

Okay. Hope you like the new chapters. I know all the Sharmen fans out there are hoping for a reunion but at the moment I'm not sure on who's going to end up with who.
What does everyone think about Sarah? I don't know what to do about her really.
Any ideas?
Please review, I love feedback, it's my first fanfic and I need all the help I can get.
Can't wait to hear from you all.
