Dana woke up to a pounding headache, and a pain in her neck. She rubbed her neck and got up to check on Al. Alice was still asleep, which was no surprise to Dana. Alice had been up rather early. Something was bothering her, Dana did not want to pry, Alice would talk when she was ready. Dana was hungry, she made a plate for herself and one for Alice  when she woke up. Dana was just about done eating when her cell went off. She had a text.

The next time ur girl crosses my path I’ll break more than just her nose!

Dana was more than a little confused about this text. Alice better have some answers when she wakes up. To keep her mind off things, Dana went for a run. Alice woke up about ten minuets after Dana left. She went into the kitchen and saw the plate Dana left for her. Alice was thankful Dana had thought to make a plate for her. Alice ate and went to lie on the sofa. She did not know where Dana was but, this gave her time to think. Should she tell Dana what really happened or not. Would Dana ever find out, what if she already knew? Alice was completely lost in thought and did not even notice Dana had come back from her run.

“Al we need to talk.”

Alice sat up.

“Okay.”

Dana took out her phone and handed to Alice.

“So tell me how your nose really got broken.”

“Okay but you have to promise me that you will not or get back at her.”

“Get back at whom?”

“Laura.”

“Laura did this to you?”

“Yea.”

“How, why.”

“Well it started that we accidentally bumped into each other. She got a little snippy with me and I said that she really had no right to treat me like she was. She went on and on how I don’t have to work at loving you. Then the bitch hit me.”

“Oh Alice.”

Dana got up and walked over to Alice and gave her a big hug.

“I’m so sorry that she did this to you.”

“I know, if just don’t get it, I can’t help what happen between the two of you, it’s not even like I was even here.”
