That was how Dana life went for the next few months; she made her rounds in the Hollywood circles. Every now and then her friends would see her picture in a tabloid, usually arm and arm with some other famous *****.

But what worried her friends the most was how she was starting to drift away from her circle of friends. They knew the lifestyle she was living at the time was unhealthy and one day it would come crashing down on her, but there was little they could do about it. When they tried to get Alice to talk to Dana, Alice always declined saying Dana had to find her own way that they couldn’t force her to come home.

Finely one day Shane couldn’t take it anymore. She made an appointment to see Dana. As she sat in the clubhouse waiting for Dana she couldn’t believe how much things had changed. She never thought the day would come when she would have to make an appointment to see Dana. A year ago everyone would have laughed including Dana if someone would have said that any of them would have had to make an appointment to see Dana.

Half an hour after the appointment time, Shane picked up her keys and phone and was about to head toward the door when Dana finely entered through the back door. Shane couldn’t believe the way Dana looked, although she liked fit, actually fitter then she remembers ever seeing her look in the past. Dana also looked tired; she looked too much like Shane remembered herself looking like in the mirror. Dana looked like someone who was living hard and playing fast. She looked older. The childlike qualities that Dana had were gone and replaced by a more worldly adult look.

Dana sat down beside Shane and ordered herself something to drink, which Shane found hard to believe, because the Dana she knew never drank while she was training, And usually only drank in moderation on the weekends. Finely Dana turned and spoke to Shane. “Let me guess why you’re here. You want to tell me I’m on a down hill spiral. That I’m ***** up my life. Well let me tell you before you even get started that Bette and Tina already beat you to it.”
