There were a few things Thorn would continue to love her whole life and one of them was the feeling, the state of mind, that came with her art. This feeling came from three things, drawing, painting and the times when she would sing. That feeling was exactly what she needed right now. It calmed her, acting almost like a drug in some ways. If there was ever a time Thorn had considered letting down Shane it was now, sitting here she had no idea why she’d asked for this.
Thorn paused, stuck the pencil she was holding between her teeth and stared down at the page in front of her. Out of habit she ran her hands through her hair and couldn’t help but be surprised when it stopped so suddenly. She still wasn’t used to this shorter hair. Earphones disappeared down the front of her shirt and reappeared at the bottom, continuing into the back pocket of the black jeans she was wearing. Biting down slightly on the wooden pencil Thorn gripped the front of her hair and nodded along to the song that was playing. Finally she took hold of the pencil again, put her feet up on the chair opposite her, sipped the tea that was sat in front of her on the table, and continued to scratch away at the page.

Shane felt her feet walk towards The Planet. She wore tight black jeans and a plain white wife beater tank. Her hair had changed though. It was cut shorter and she had a red streak coming from the back all the way to the front of her hair. Her fringe was cut to the side now, and it covered one full eye. One of her hands were stuffed in her pocket and the other was intertwined tightly in Carmens. The tank she was wearing showed off her new tattoo. She looked up at the sign and walked into The Planet pulling Carmen along with her.

Carmen stared down at her own hand linked with Shane's as they made their way down the street towards the planet. She only noticed they had arrived when the floor changed under her feet, finally she looked up. Her gaze fell on Shane first and she watched her for a few moments before looking out across the crowded room. "So, where is she?" she asked.

Shane looked around and spotted Thorn drawing on one of the tables at the back of the cafe. Shane pointed towards her and gripped Carmens hand tighter. "Are you sure you want to do this?" SHane asked as she looked at her girlfriend with curious eyes.

Carmen nodded her head ever so slightly and followed Shane's finger to where Thorn was sat by herself. The girl was staring intently down at the sketch pad resting against the table and she attacked it with a pencil. Even as she watched Thorn she paid attention to Shane's hand, noticing how tight she was holding on. "are you sure you want me to, you seem nervous" she said, turning her gaze back to Shane for a moment before looking back to Thorn who was whispering along to the music "Who truly stuck the knife in first"

Shane looked down at the floor. "I just dont want anything to happen..."Shane said as she looked at Carmen with sad eyes. She couldnt believe that she did what she did to Carmen. And she was scared that it would be awkward and things might be said to risk either Shane and Thorns friendship of Shane and Carmens relationship.

Carmen pulled Shane closer and put her free arm around her, still holding onto her other. This was obviously hard for Shane and she wasn't so sure about it herself. "Come on baby it'll be okay" she said, kissing her cheek for a moment "but if you really don't like it then I can leave"

"No dont go.." Shane said as she looked from Carmen to Thorn. She sighed and began to walk over towards her best friend. She stopped just infront of Thorn and tapped her lightly on the shoulder.

Carmen stayed where she was and watched Shane, wondering exactly what she was about to do. She crossed her arms over her chest a little nervous as to what was going to happen.
"hm?" Thorn looked up from her sketchpad to Shane before smiling a little. "Oh hey hun" she said, taking out her earphones and letting them hang from her neck. "I thought I was meeting Carmen" she added a moment later when she realized she wasn't there.

Shane smiled slightly "Hey" Shane stopped and and looked around spotting Carmen alittle bit further back. She walked over to her and pulled her over to the table. "Thorn this is Carmen...Carm this is Thorn" Shane said as she intertwined her fingers with Carmens.

Thorn flipped the pages closed and looked up at Carmen from where she was sat. "Hey" she said finally when Carmen didn't speak. Carmen nodded a little, holding Shane's hand a little tighter than she was meaning to "hey"

Shane cringed slightly as Carmen held her hand and then looked between the two girls. She smiled slightly. "Im gonna get drinks..want anything?" Shane asked as she let go of Carmens hand.

"No I'm okay, I'll just steal some of yours" Carmen said, looking back to Shane now and putting her hand into her pocket now she was no longer holding Shane's. Thorn took her feet off the chair opposite her and Carmen sat down in it. She knew it would be bad to just sit in silence so instead she ask the first thing that came to mind "What were you drawing?" Thorn was silent for a moment before she slipped the sketchpad over to Carmen "you actually" she answered finally "there was a picture of you in Shane's shirt I um.." she glanced away, now wanting to look at her as she spoke even though Carmen was looking down at the paper now, "borrowed" she finished.

Shane stood leaned over the counter at the planet. She smiled as she talked to Kit who was serving her. She thanked Kit and took her drink over to the table and sat down next to Carmen. She placed the drink infront of herself and tucked her legs underneath her body. She looked down at the drawing infront of Carmen and then back at Thorn. "Is that Carmen?" Shane asked.

Thorn looked up from the sketch pad at Shane and nodded "Yeah" she answered, glancing from the picture to Carmen and then to Shane, "any good?" she asked, she was always a perfectionist with her drawings and hardly ever believed they were good enough.
