Alice ran out the door calling Dana’s name.

Alice: Dana stop. Dana you can’t run away from me forever.

It was to late she was to far gone for her to catch up to now. Alice sat down on the curb and put her head in her hands.

By this time the rest of there little gorup was outside. Shane sat down on Alice’s right and put her arm around her. Tina Sat to her left and Bette sat in front of her. They knew what was going on with Dana, they had put the pieces together while they were still inside. They knew that this was also putting Alice in a bad place. She needed jsut as much comfort as Dana did.

Shane: Come on Al, lets go home.

Alice looked at Shane with tears in her eyes.

Alice: I can’t don’t you get that I have to go find Dana. Who knows where she went. She was so scared for you guys to know. She was so ashamed. She didn’t want you to think she was weak.

Tina: If she asked you for help then she is not weak she jsut knows her limits. Who cares if she didn’t come to us at least someone knows.

Alice: She didn’t tell me though. I woke up this morning and the pillow was covered in blood.

Alice got up quickly and her friends were surprised by this fast movement.

Alice: I need to go. I need to do something. I need to find her.

Bette: We’ll all help you look for her. We’ll find her, everything is going to be okay.

Alice: No, you can’t. You can’t go look for her. SHe ran because you guys saw. Imagine if she saw you coming…she would run just like she did before. I need to go find her.

Tina: You’ll find her I promise. Don’t worry she’s going to be fine.

Alice started walking in the direction that Dana had run off in. She made sure that she had her cell phone on in case her friends didn’t listen to her and went to find her themselves.

Alice took a few guesses to where she might have gone. All of them were incorrect. Just then her cell phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and it was a number she didn’t recongnize.

Alice: Hello?

Voice: Hello is this Alice?

Alice: Yes, who is this?

Voice: This is Mary Lynn Dickison down at Cedars Medical Center. A Miss Dana Fairbanks asked us to call you…

That was all she heard before she snapped the phone shut and ran back to get her car.
