The cold wind burnt the back of Alices neck. She was stumbling home, in what most has been the coldest night ever in LA. She was too drunk to drive and she knew that. But she was also too drunk to think of who to call. First thought would have been Dana, but she was drinking because of her. Shane was in Cheri land, and was just not there, and Bette and Tina were well. Not Bette and Tina.

            It had been a week since Tina showed up at her door crying. Alice held Tina all night, as she cried to sleep about how Bette cheated on her with Candace the carpenter. So Alice knew she could not bother either of them. It was just not a good idea.

            Alice had no idea where she was going. She did not feel like going home, she could not deal with Tina right now. She was just so depressed. Alice loved Tina with all her heart, but it was just too hard to watch. She was there for her, but just could not be there as much as she wanted. She was having trouble watching Tina, and dealing with Bette getting mad at her for not letting her see Tina. And she felt bad that this was happening, but Bette had know right to be getting mad at her. Bette screwed up and not her. Besides Alice had a lot on her mind to top it all off.

            Alice was in quite a dilemma. She had always known that she loved Dana more then a friend, but she suppressed it all. Alice never got involved with friends. It just made things to difficult. Imaging getting involved with your best friend? Alice would tell her self constantly, more in the past month then ever. It would just be way too sticky, and Alice just did not like this. She was so not in the mood for sticky situations. What made the situation even stickier is that Dana was with someone else.

            Someone that Alice hated so much. She did not hate them because this person was bad for Dana, but because they were perfect for her. The way that she treated Dana was too good. Anyone could see that Lara was perfect for Dana. That was what killed Alice, that Lara was perfect. That she could never size up to Lara, metaphorically and literally. Thats why she hated her, because Lara had Dana and she did not.
