My mom kicked me out, Marissa mumbled into the pillow. I told her I was going to find Alex and she flipped.

It can take awhile for parent to understand, just give her sometime, Shane placed a comforting hand on the thin girls shoulder. Until then, you are more than welcome to crash in my room, I always end up sleeping on the couch anyway.

Really? Marissa looked up with tear clouded eyes. You dont mind?

Its no problem, dont worry about it, Shane smiled trying to lift the tension. No crying though, Im not so good with crying girls.

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Marissa then proceeded to whip her wet hands on Shanes shirt, Well Im sure you make enough girls cry.

Aw, now I have your eyes ***** on my shirt, Shane whined and fought to keep her smile at bay. God, this shirt could almost have passed for clean.

Laughing Marissa shook her head, Please, that is the farthest thing form clean I have ever seen.

Well not everyone has a maid Miss Cooper, Shane grinned pulling the shirt off and throwing it on the younger girl.

Shane cracked up watching the girls expression. She had clearly presumed Shane had nothing on, but was mistaken; Shane had her well-worn tank top on underneath.

That wasnt nice, Marissa pouted. Ew, now I have your dirty shirt on me.

You slept on my bed, now which is probably cleaner? Shane doubled over laughing at the girls frightened look. Well while you think that one over I am calling Dana.

As Shane was walking over to the phone she casually ducked the Shirt chucked at the back of her head, Nice try princess, but if you want to live here your going to have to work on your aim a little.

Dialing the familiar number, Shane waited a moment until Tonya picked up, Hey is Dana home?

Tonyas sigh of annoyance was apparent even through the phone, Shes busy right now, what do you want?

To talk to Dana, its important, Shanes eyes narrowed.

Fine, let me see if she can talk, Tonya snapped.

Waiting impatiently for a moment, Shane began to tap her fingers on the counter in annoyance. Distantly she could here Tonya and Dana arguing on the other end.
