Alice: You don’t have to worry about anything. First I need to bring you to the hospital so that we can get these cuts looked at. Is there any where else where you cut?

Dana: No, just my arms. It’s been really hard to hide them with Tennis an all. I jsut blame them on Mr. P.

Alice: Oh dane…

Dana: Are they going to make me stay there? I’m not suicidal…I don’t want to die I jsut didn’t want to be confused about. Cutting is the one thing I understand. You cut you bleed. The more you cut the more you bleed. The harded you cut the deeper the cut.

Alice: I won’t let them. I’m going to take care of you. They’re prolly going to want you to start therapy though. I also think it would be a good idea for you to take a break from tennis for a while.

Dana: But I can’t I’m at my prime. If I stop now my career is going to pass me by.

Alice: Dana if you don’t take a break from tennis and focus on getting better then you never will. Tennis is just adding more stress. Stress is not what you need.

*Phone rings*

Alice: Hello?…Oh hi Shane…No I don’t know if we’re going down to the Planet today…I don’t know we’re both a little tired…No Shane not because of that. Get your mind out of the guter…Hold on I’ll ask.

Alice: Dana do you want to go to the Planet?

Dana: If you’re with me I’ll go anywhere.

Alice: OKay Shane we’ll see you in a second…OKay byes.

Alice: Sry. I tried to get us out of it but she wouldn’t let up.

Dana: It’s fine. I just need to get dressed and make sure I put a sweat shirt on.

Alice: Dana it’s 75 degrees out there. They may notice something is up.

Dana: Well it’s what I have to do.

*At the planet*

Shane: Hey guys, it’s about time.

Alice: Sorry I got another call right after you and it kept us busy for a while.

Shane: Sure. You can jsut tell us that you were *****.

Tina: Come on Shane you don’t know that for sure.

Bette: She’s right Shane. Just take there word for it. I mean this is Alice we’re talking about. She would tell us if they were ***** and then she would brag about it.

Bette: So Dana I’m actually surprised to see you here. Shouldn’t you be at training?

Dana: Actually I’m taking a break from it for a while.

Dana said while looking at Alice. Alice had a huge grin on her face and mouthed a little “thank you” to her.

Tina: A break but you’re jsut getting noticed don’t you think it would be better to take a break when you are filthy rich and have people waiting on you?

Dana: Prolly but it’s not about what I want its about what I need.

Alice: Good for you Dana. Don’t get to focused of obsessed over one thing. It’s not healthy.

Dana: Thats the truth.

Dana had completely forgotten about the cuts on her arms and stripped off the sweat shirt that she had been wearing. Once she got it over her head she noticed that all eyes were on her.

Shane: Dana…

Tina: What the *****…

Bette: Have you been doing?

Dana: Oh *****.

She got up and ran out of the Planet with Alice right behind her.

Alice: Sorry guys gotta go.

They left and Shane, Bette and Tina stared at each other in shock.
