Tomorrow, T

            Okay, tomorrow. But if you need to talk just call or come over. Okay?

            Thanks Tina. Ill talk to you tomorrow.

            Bye Tina said as Alice hung up the phone.

            Alice did not feel like talking anymore, and as she hung up the phone, the tears in her eyes began to flood over. She threw the book in her hand against the wall. *****! Alice screamed as she fell to the floor. Allowing the tears to fall even harder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Dana was driving home from Laras when she saw Shanes truck. Damn it, I really do not want to talk to her right now.

            Hey Dane. Shane yelled as Dana got out of her car.

            Hey Dana said weakly. She knew that Shane would be able to see her puff eyes, from all crying that she has been doing.

            Shane went over to Dana and hugged her. She felt that need to hold Dana, more like the need to be held. It hurt that her two best friends were not together, so she knew that Dana must be hurting ten times more.

            Dana was startled by sudden contact from Shane. She broke up with me. She cried into Shanes shoulder. She thinks I will leave her for Lara. How could she think that? Does she not see the love I have for her? Shane was not sure what to say. So she ushered Dana into her condo and sat her on her couch. And just held her as rambled on about the pain that Alice was causing her.

            Finally after about a half hour of Dana crying Shane finally found some words that might help Dana. Dane?

            Yes? Dana said looking into Shanes eyes.

            Maybe its better this way. Shane swallowed the words.

            Better. Better! Are you kidding me? Dana was frustrated that Shane would think that.

            Thats what I thought. Shane said.

            What? Dana was confused.

            I knew if you reacted that way then you truly do love her. So show her. Show her even if she pushes away.

            What do you mean?

            Show her how much you love her. Shane knew that maybe if Dana showed the love, then Alice would come to her senses. Hopefully.

            But how? Dana did not know how to show her love. She showed it every day.

            Shane took Danas hand in hers and placed it on Danas heart. This Dana will show you how. I can not tell you how. Only you know how.

            Dana just continued to cry, letting Shanes word sink into her. After Shane left, Dana sleep the rest of the night. Ignoring any calls she received. She was hurting to bad to answer the phone.
