“Where’s Alice?” Bette asked, gently rocking her daughter.
“Still sleeping.”
“Wow, she’s being lazy today.” Tina chuckled, sipping her coffee and resting her head on Bette’s shoulder.
Dana shot Jenny a confused look and she clarified, “They didn’t pick up.”
“We didn’t pick up what?”
“Your phone. I tried to call you and tell you what was going on, but I didn’t get an answer, and I figured it was best not to interrupt whatever was going on.” Bette sighed. The sad thing was, nothing was going on.
“Oh, well, what happened?” Tina took over the couple’s side of the conversation.
“Shane totaled her car and landed herself in a San Francisco jail cell. Alice had to drive all the way out there and get her, even though she has to work tonight.”
“Oh, my God. Is Shane all right?”
“Yeah. She’s fine. Tired, probably.” Dana replied, sitting down.
Previous Night – Alice’s mini cooper
Shane sighed as the engine to Alice’s mini cooper revved and she sped up to 80 mph. “Wow, for such a little car, this thing goes pretty fast.” Shane mused inwardly. Alice glanced over at her quickly again. It was about the 50th time she had done that since she had picked Shane up.
“Are you gonna get the lecture out of your system, or are you just gonna keep staring at me the rest of the way back?” Shane snapped, tired of the quiet disappointment that seemed to be in everyone’s eyes lately.
Alice didn’t say anything at first, but after a minute or so, she couldn’t contain herself.
“What the fuck were you thinking, Shane? I mean, I’m as for drinking away your problems as the next gal, but don’t you think this is taking it kinda far? I mean, God, Shane, I know you’re the ‘live life one moment at a time’ kind of person but does that mean you have to be absolutely fucking stupid? I thought this whole thing with Carmen would be good for you, that it would open your eyes to the fact that you need to start looking towards the future. I mean, we’re getting older, Shane. You’re 26, for Christ’s sake! Do you really wanna be that creepy old woman standing in the gay bars on Saturday nights, freaking out all the hot college ass?” Alice yelled.
Shane just looked out the window at the dark country whipping by. Alice sighed.
“Yeah. That’s fucking mature, Shane. Just stare out the window, block everybody out. That’s gonna do you a whole lot of good.” More silence, “Fine. You know what? Just… fine.”
“Stop the car.”
Alice looked at her like she was crazy.
“Shane, are you kidding me? It’s 1 and we’re like, 4 hours from home. Besides, we’re in the middle of nowhere.”
“Stop the fuckin’ car, Al.” Shane was starting to get pissed.
“I’m not stopping the car so you can hitchhike and get raped and murdered by some creepy guy in a trench coat driving down the road in his minivan, all right? God, Shane, all I’m saying is people aren’t going to put up with your shit forever.”
“They’ve already stopped.”
“Fuck, Shane, that’s not true. Look, if I weren’t putting up with your shit would I be out in the middle of nowhere driving you home? I could’ve let you rot in that jail cell, but I went and bailed you out because I’m your friend, Shane. I just wish sometimes you’d remember that life isn’t some TV show called ‘Shane: Dyke Drama Detective’ or whatever.”
Shane looked over at her friend. “Are you high?”
“No, I’m not… you’re completely missing the point. You have to move on, Shane. No matter how much it seems like it, the world doesn’t stop because you’re sad. Trust me, I know. It was only a matter of time before Carmen stopped bending over backwards for you.” A small smile played across Shane’s lips, and Alice quickly realized the implications of the sentence. “Not like that!” She snapped.
The car ride was silent the rest of the way home.
