Finally after minutes of silence Shane spoke up. She must have been planning this for awhile.

            What do you mean? Carmen asked.

            I mean no one gets a job in two days. She must have been looking for the job and then decided she would break up with Shane stopped her thought. Dana did not know that Alice was leaving. When Alice broke up with Dana, she really was leaving.

            You are right. Bette said rubbing her head. This time Alice was really letting her insecurities rule her life. She wished she could slap Alice across the face right now and tell her how stupid she was being. But she knew that would not solve anything. Except push her away more.

            I hate when I am right. Shane said getting up to go to the bathroom.

            Shane, wait. Carmen said following Shane to the bathroom.

            After another long period of silence Tina finally spoke up. Do you think we can get her to stay?

            No. Bette said flatly wiping away a tear.

            Why do you think that? Tina was hurt by the fact that Bette had no faith in this matter.

            Because once Alice has her mind set on things, you can not change it.

            I know. Tina knew that, but she just did not want to hear it out loud. It made her heart break to hear Bette say it out loud.

In The Bathroom

            Shane was leaning over the sink, tears in her eyes.

            Shane? Carmen went over to her and rubbed her back. Feeling her girlfriends hand on her back Shane turned around to hug Carmen hard. It will work out, you will see. Carmen had no idea what to say to her girlfriend. She had not known Alice and Dana that long. But she knew that they were meant to be together. Anyone who saw them together just knew it.

            How do you know? Shane asked.

            Because they love each other. Carmen said softy. Shane thought maybe Carmen was becoming the new Yoda and she was just Obi Won Kenobi. Because Shane was lost.

            Alice hated that she had run out so fast from her friends, but she could not stand to sit there and see all the pain she was causing. She felt stupid for leaving, but she knew that she had to leave. She told her self Dana was probably having some hot ***** with Lara now. That there was no going back. She also hated the way that Bette had subtly mentioned she was being like her father. She knew she was, but did she have to say it out loud.
