Shane had called everyone to tell them to meet at the planet at around three, but not Dana. She remembered the pain in Alices voice as she had said those words. She could not believe this was happening. Some how she believed there was more to why Alice had broken up with Dana, and she just could not figure it out.

            Shane pulled out her cell phone and dialed Danas number, but got the answering machine, Hey, Dane, its ShaneI was just callingI was just calling to see how you were doing. Please call me back. Then she hung up. She had been calling Dana about every half hour since she left Alices apartment. It had been about four hours and she wanted to check on Dana. She was worried. If Alice was that torn up, Dana must be worse.

            Shanes pick up truck came to a stop in from of Danas condo, she walked to the door, but there was no answer. Her car was not in the driveway. So Shane just sat there waiting for Dana to show up.

            Alice was trying to start to pack. She kept thinking that I am really leaving. How can I leave? I must leave. Over and over in her head. Lost in her train of thought, her cell rang.

            Hello? Alice said.

            Hey Al, its Tina. Tina had on her motherly voice.

            Hey T, whats up? Alice tried her best happy voice as she could, but she knew that you could still hear the sadness no matter how hard she tried to cover it up.

            I should be asking you that question.

            Tina I do not want to talk about it. I guess you have talk to Shane. Alice really did not feel like having this conversation more times then she had to. Can we just talk tomorrow?

            But

            Tomorrow Tina, okay. Please I am really busy right now. I am in the middle of writing an article. Alice hated lying to Tina but she knew that she had to.    

            I can come over and just talk. Tina was kind of happy that Alice was working, but she knew deep down inside that Alice was lying to her and that hurt.
