"I will, I just want to spend a bit of time alone with Al then I promise I will go to the apartment. I will be staying there I feel closer to Al there somehow." Dana replied as they gave her hugs and kisses then said goodbye to Alice and left. It was just Dana and Alice again, Dana didn’t know what she spoke about to Alice but an hour had passed. It seemed weird for Dana to be doing all the talking and Alice not. Dana looked at her watch it was 8.05pm she was just about to go when all of a sudden the door opened in the doorway was the last person Dana expected to see.

Chapter 5 

Mom what you doing here?" Dana asked. Sharon really was the last person she expected to see. Sharon did not look happy she entered the room and let the door close behind her.

"When exactly were you planning on calling me to let me know what had happened, Dana?" Sharon raised her voice.

"Shh mom!" Dana pointed to Alice laying on the bed "I was planning on calling you tonight but it looks as if someone beat me to it, you know I have had a lot on my mind."

"I’m your mother Dana I should have been informed when you were admitted to the hospital." Sharon had lowered her voice but you could tell she was still angry at Dana.

"It all happened so quick mom; I was in for a couple of hours." Dana lied she could not be bothered getting into an argument with her mother over who she had put down as her next of kin’s. Sharon walked over and reached up to touch Dana’s head,

"Look at my little girls head!" Sharon said.

"Its ok mom, I’m ok it could be worse!" she said looking back over at Alice. "How did you find out anyway?" Dana added

"It’s all over the papers about the terrible young joy riders and you and your friends." Sharon told Dana. Dana was starting to get annoyed with her mother all the time she had been there and not once had she asked how Alice was. Dana kissed Alice goodbye and told her she would be back in the morning and with that she walked out the door leaving her mother to follow behind her.
