“Dane…”

“I know Shane,” Dana’s voice was suddenly angry, and she was crying. “I know I can’t ***** her around like this. I know I’ve been an absolute… I’ve been disgusting towards her. I have literally treated her like ***** and I won’t ever be able to forgive myself for that ok? The thing is that I’m so completely ***** in love with her that if I don’t get her back I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I threw her away Shane… but I have to get her back, I have to love her.” Her voice trailed away, and all Shane could hear were deep breaths coming from the phone.

“If you love her that much Dane, you’re going to have to wait three months. It’s not fair on Alice if you mess this up for her the night before she goes.” She sighed, tossing up what she should do in her mind.

“I’ll do whatever it takes Shane, I don’t care if I have to wait another seven years, and I’ll do it.”

Alice left for Canada fare welled by her closest friends, bar Dana. They had all been sad to let her go, even for a few months, especially Shane who shed a few tears regardless of her ‘cool’ image.

“You just have fun ok? ***** some Canadians,” Shane had laughed before hugging her one last time, and slipping a small note into Alice’s jacket pocket. “I love you. Please come back soon ok?”

“I love you too Shane,” Al said, smiling through her tears. She then turned and boarded the plane.

“Guys Shane just called! She’s around the corner so everybody go and hide!” Carmen yelled out across the room to the crowd of about forty who were all scrambling into positions behind lounges and lamp stands. “For *****’s sake people! We’ve already been through this! Hide!” she yelled once more before hiding herself behind the front door. It was deadly silent, and Alice’s voice could be heard chatting away to Shane, who was opening the door.

“WELCOME BAAAAAAAAACCCCCKKK!!!”

“Holy *****!” was all Alice could say as she jumped about three feet into the air, obviously taken back by the yelling and people. She turned around to Shane and Carmen, both sporting massive grins and engulfed them both in a hug before whispering into their ears, “I may or may not have just peed my pants in excitement.” She then laughed and left them, caught up in the other people at the party.
