“Alice,” I hear her. I hade craved this moment for song long. Just to hear her say my name.  I really must have fallen off the deep end.

“Al,” my heart drops.

Sarah slightly shakes me, “There seems to be someone who wants to talk to you, Alice.”

I open my eyes. There she is. *****’ standing in front of me. She hasn’t spoken to me in months and now she thinks she can come over and just barge in on what is obviously a private moment. I really didn’t know what to do. I blink my eyes. Letting my arms fall from Sarah’s waist.

Sarah notices my mood change, “Alice are you ok, because we can leave.”

Dana looks at this mystery girl standing next to Alice, “I’m sure Al can make her own decisions. Thanks.” She says rolling her eyes.

I’m so confused. Was that jealousy? A split second realization of loss on Dana’s behalf. “Actually Sarah, I’m just fine here, with You,” I wrap my arms around her waist again turning away from Dana.

Dana sighs, pulling my arm away, “Al, seriously, I need to talk to you. I have somethingwell I need to tell you something.”

How dare she think I’m still her possession, “Listen Dane, whatever it is I’m sure Lara is eagerly waiting at home for all the details. Now I’m actually busy. So goodbye.”

Ok, where the ***** did that come from? I have lusted, cried, and sulked over this woman since the day she left and nownow I feel free.

“Fine, I deserve thatit’s just” I notice tears forming in the corners of Dana’s eyes as she speaks, “I really need to talk to you about something. Could you please make time for me?”

“Me..make time for you? Dana who do you really think you are?” I realize now that I going to make an ***** out of myself in front of everyone, but I don’t care. How dare she try to make me the bad guy. “You abandoned me and for what reason? Because I loved you too much. How much ***** sense does that make? You ran away from me and now you need me and I’m suppose jump.”

I feel the tears running down my face. “Well let me tell you something, ***** you Dana Fairbanks. I don’t belong to you anymore.”
