Alice was driving. She didn’t know where she was driving to. She was just driving. She needed time to think and cool off. She just didn’t understand. Everything was going so great with Dana, it was perfect, but they had been having fights over everything. Tonight’s fight was about Lara.

Alice couldn’t describe it. When she was with Dana alone or with their friends, she felt free as a bird, but when Lara was around, she felt like a caged animal. Alice wasn’t afraid that Dana would cheat on her, she was afraid Dana would leave her.

All her life, it seemed as if she couldn’t trust anyone because everyone she knew would eventually leave. This all changed, however, when she met Dana. For some reason, she felt comfortable forming a friendship with her. Now, nearly eight years later, she feels as if that friendship is going to end because of her own insecurities.

“Dammit Alice, why can’t you trust her?” she said as she banged her head on the steering wheel. It was at that moment when she realized she did trust Dana, it was Lara she didn’t trust.

“Fuck. Lara, you fucking plague. You had your chance. And now you’re making me go insane.” Alice sighed. “I wish there was a way I could get out of this mess.”

Just then, Alice noticed a pair of bright lights, not far, heading her way. Alice knew it was a car and figured it would stop since she was at a red light. But the car showed no sign of slowing as it came closer. A few seconds later, without giving Alice any time to respond, it collided into her car and sent it flying to the other side of the street.
