Take away the Numb

Medium

"Erika?"

Kirsten and Camille stand there silent not sure what to say, as he just stares at them with a gleam of hope in his eyes. Suddenly a idea pops into Camille's head, "My friend Kirsten here is a Medium, she was connecting with your late lover Erika". Shane looks up at Kirsten and she nods. "She loved you very much", Kirsten spoke hollowly then looked down. Shane then quietly asked, "Can you ask here something please... can you ask her if I should marry Anna."

*Flash*

Erika is standing with Shane face to face inches way ears fill her eyes; in the back ground you can hear the music faintly, El Amor Que Perdimos by Prince Royce

Shane: "Erika look I'm sorry"

Erika eyes are glossed over with sadness

Erika: "No Shane its okay"

Erika starts to walk away

Shane: "Erika!"

Erika turns around tears falling down her cheeks

Erika: "I just want you to be happy Shane"

Erika walks away leaving Shane shock, watching her walk away; the sound of the music played in the background. Her voice cracking, eyes tearing, heart breaking. You can softly hear Erika singing to herself.

Yo te ame

Te adore

No te qiero veeieier

Y sufri hasta el fin

No te qiero veeieier

*Flash*

Kirsten slowly starts to walk away, Camille in front of her. Shane desperately calls out, "Erika!". Kirsten turns around tears falling from her cheeks, "I just want you to be happy Shane". Kirsten walks away once leaving Shane shocked as you can softly hear Kirsten singing, "Yo te ame, Te adore, No te qiero veeieier, Y sufri hasta el fin, No te qiero veeieier..." Shane just stares at the empty door way in shock.

*Flash*

Erika sits on her bedroom floor, red eyes and broken. You can hear Mi Ultima Carta by prince Royce. She's just staring in to a full length mirror at her reflection. She's bleeding from her thighs and arms. She hears a noise and there to the door way

*Flash*

When they get out side she tells Camille to go that shed be home later, knowing that you can't argue with Kirsten she aggress. Kirsten cautiously walks back in to fine Shane sitting in his living room. He looks up at her and motions for her to sit on an empty spot on the couch next to him. "I want to show you something", Shane says under his breath. He clicks on the TV and what looks like some sort of home movie starts to play.

*TV Home Movie*

You can hear the song Picture Perfect by Escape the fate Playing in the Background.

Pictures and videos of Erika started to show

Suddenly the song changes to Eris Mia by Romeo Santos and you see Shane and Erika dancing Bachta. At the end of it you see them stare in to each others eyes and share a kiss, softly you can hear shane speak

Shane: "Eris mia; ahora, mañana y para siempre [you are mine today tomorrow and forever]"

Erika: " Si mi amor [yes my love]"

Shane: "Te amo Hermosa [I love you beautiful]"

Erika: " Y yo a te guapo [I love too handsome]"

*End of video*

Kirsten stares at him not sure what's going on. "Jay made it she, it was for Erika's birthday", he says under he's breath. He hands Kirsten his phone it's a span of text from the day Erika died.

*TEXT*

Erika/Shane

Hermosa

[beautiful]

Que Guapo?

[what handsome?]

Te amo

[I love you]

Ay si me amas porque tienes Anna

[if you really love me why are you still with anna]

Ay amor por favor no quiero hablar de Anna ahorita

[please love ,I don't want to talk about anna right now]

...estás seguro que me amas

[...are you sure you love me]

sí claro que te amo tú eres mi vida

[of course I love you you are my life]

*End of TEXT*

"That's the last text I every sent her", he says taking the phone back. Shane's crying he almost seems child like when you see him like this. Kirsten starts to lose focus, as all she can think of is Erika. How much Erika loved Shane, How much she cared about him and Jay, how much it hurt to see Anna and Shane together. But the most prominent thing was how much she was willing to go through to give him a perfect life. It was draining for her it made hurt weak and fragile almost un able not to break at times and suddenly now it was all Kirsten could feel, the weakness was just too over powering. She sands up but then collapse on the ground. Kirsten is able to get out on last sentence before blacking out, "I so sorry all I ever wanted was for you to be happy"

Sometimes we just say, "I just want you to be happy", but deep inside in our hearts we know, we still want to be their happiness
