Could have or she was kicked out. She had a suitcase with her.

Shane, maybe you should report her to the authorities, Bette sighed a little worn out from her nights on the couch. Her parents might be looking for her.

I dont know, Bette, she looked so ***** sad this morning. Last night she was bitching about going home, but it was implied she had one. Today it was like she didnt have anywhere to go, Shane thought back to her own childhood. I dont think she ran away or if she did it was because she didnt have a choice. Im not going to send her back unless I know shes safe.

Bette watched the distant expression take over her friends face, assuming she was thinking of her own past, Alright, so then what are we going to do.

Well you and I are going to go searching for Alex Kelly, Shane stood and walked over to Jenny. Jenny are you going to be sticking around the apartment?

Yeah, I was planning on spending the afternoon working on my story, Jenny glanced at a stack of papers next to a typewriter. I think I almost have it.

If Marissa wakes up, just tell her I had something I had to do. Dont tell her I went to find Alex, Shane walked towards the door, followed closely by Bette.

Sure, Jenny nodded and watched the two leave.

As they got in Bettes Saab, Bette threw a few papers in the back, So how are things with Jenny as a roommate?

Its pretty *****, Shane explained using her own slang. Get cheap groceries so thats nice. A major step up from the last group of roomies.

I dont know, Jenny probably wont be throwing any parties as great as ***** The Night: Deal With It. I heard it was *****, Bette grinned, overemphasizing Shanes word.

They had their moments.

They both sat in an uncomfortable silence for a few moments, until it was broken by Bette, Im sorry.

Its not really me you need to be apologizing to, Shane glanced down at the ring on Bettes finger.

Taking a deep breath, Bette shook her head, No, I need to apologize to everyone. I screwed up, royally. And I can fully understand if you guys dont want to see me anymore, its my fault everything is so messed up. Even if you wanted to it would be hard to hang out without Tina there and I dont want to make things more difficult for her.
