Alice exited off the interstate, so she could turn around and head toward Dana’s parents. “Dana I could stay with you and help out until you hire someone if you’d like?” Dana couldn’t believe what she was hearing Alice was willing to help her out even though she really hadn’t had a lot to do with her for a while now. She should have known if anyone was going to be there for her it would be Alice.

She knew Alice had to know about the series girlfriends, not even series more like a few temporary girlfriends in between a lot of one nightstands. Man Shane was right she really was a fool.

Then she wondered if her new friends would be as willing to help as Alice. Probably not, because Alice was one of a kind type person. The type person who couldn’t hate anyone. And even if a person like herself broke Alice’s heart, she still would try to be there for them. No Dana couldn’t ask this of Alice even if she wanted to. “No Alice you done enough today, getting me away from that circus. I’ll probably hire someone after my surgery, that way I won’t have to stay at my parents very long.”

As Alice was driving up Dana’s parent’s driveway she had forgotten rich Dana’s family was. Even in her mother’s heyday in Hollywood they never had anything this nice. It just screamed old money.

As Dana was struggling to get out, Alice went to the back of her mini to get Dana’s luggage. When Alice looked up she notice Sharon and Irwin were making their way to the car. Sharon was the first to speak to the girls. “Here Dana, let Irwin help you out.” Then she walked over to Alice. “Hi Alice, I must say I’m a little surprised to see you here. I thought you and Dana had broken up months ago and she was dating that celebrity lawyer, I can’t remember her name Kate somebody. I don’t remember there have been so may lately.” Alice knew this was directed at Dana, but it still stung to know Sharon considered her one of many women who had been in Dana’s life lately.

There was no way Dana was going to let her mother talk to Alice in a condescending tone, even if the conversation was really directed at her. “Mom stop it Alice has been my friend for more years then I can remember. Just help me get my stuff in the house would you.” But Sharon who was still deeply embarrassed by her daughter’s recent behavior couldn’t let it go. “Oh that’s right Alice was your friend even before you decided you were ***** wasn’t she? So Alice was this before you decided you were ***** also?” Alice not wanting to cause a bigger scene then what was happening in front of her picked up one of Dana’s bag and walked toward the house.
