Last time on BSS:

*The hall way*

Bette: If she doesn’t pass the tests then she is going to be moved to a long term treatment center.

Alice: No…I can’t let that happen. I can’t leave her.

Dana and Shane came back into the hallway as Alice was sinking to the floor crying. Dana ran to her and took Alice in her arms.

Dana: What did you say?

Bette: The truth.

Dana: Shhh…It’ll be okay…I won’t let you down. Shhhh.

******************************************************************************************

Shane: This is intense. Dana…you need to tell Alice what we talked about.

Dana looked up at Shane trying telling her that it wasn’t the right time.

Shane: Dana it’s now or never.

*flashback to in the hospital room*

Shane: I know that you want Alice but what do you want for yourself?

Dana: I want to feel normal again. I want to be able to go more then a day without cutting. I want to be able to have a bad day and not punish myself by leaving more scars on my body. But most importantly I want my friends which are actually more like my family to understand that I love them and would do anything for them.

Shane: We love you too Dana and that is why we want you to stay and get help. You know that this is what you have to do.

Dana: I know…lts go tell Alice. She’s going to be as heart broken as I am.

Shane and Dana embrace and walk out.

*End of flashback*

Dana took Alice’s face in her hands.

Alice: *sniffled* tell me what?

Dana: I’m going to stay. I need to stay.

Alice got up from her spot on the floor and ran out the door. Dana followed her with her eyes and started crying. Shane went over to comfort her while Bette went after Alice.

Bette: Alice…Alice stop!

Alice: WHAT??? My girlfriend just said that she’d rather stay in a hospital then with me. Doesn’t she know that I can keep her safe? That I can take care of her as well as they can?

Bette: It’s not that she doesn’t know that. She just thinks that it’ll be easier to overcome if she doesn’t feel like she is letting you down everytime she screws up.
