It had been 3 hours and they hadnt heard anything about Dana. No one wanted to tell them what was going on because they werent not family. Alice knew this was bullshit because she was Dana’s emergency contact. She had only explained that to the nurses like a million times, but no one wanted to budge. Finally the doctor came out.

"Alice…pie…Alice P."

Alice heard her name and practically tackled the doctor."

"’How’s Dana is she wake…Is she okay."

"Calm down. Ms. Fairbanks for the most part is okay. She has lacerations on her face with heavy bruising, her nose is also broken, 3 of her ribs were broken and she has a bruised lung."

"Oh my god."

"It’s really not that bad considering the beating she took."

"When can I see her?"

"Right now if you like, but I want to warn you there is alot of bruising and swelling so dont be too shocked when you first see her. She should be coming out of sedation soo."

"Okay."

"If you will come right this way."

Alice motion for Shane and they followed the doctor to Dana’s room. As they approached her Alice braced to herself. But it didnt work apon seeing Dana all bruised and tubes sticking everwhere she broke down and started to cry. Shane took her in arms.

"Alice please dont cry..honey this isnt your fault. You need to stop crying you need to be strong for Dana."

Alice wiped her tears on her sleeve.

"You’re right for Dana."

Shane went in and her heart broke when she saw Dana was lying there. It was too much for her.

"Al this is a bit too much for me. Would you mind if i get out of here.?"

"Sure no problem. Thanks you for everything."

"Anything for you. Call me tommorrow."

"I will."

Alice took a chair and set it next to Dana’s bed. Alice took Dana’s hand in hers.All she could do was look at her. It was the worst sight ever. She watched George beat the shit of her and couldnt do anything about it. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didnt realize Dana was staring back at her.

In a whisper…"Alice."

Alice looked right into Dana’s eyes and it was such a relief to see the baby blues staring back at her.
