“What? What happened?”

“You’ve been standing in the same spot with a dazed look on your face.” Alice chuckled.

“Where’s Shane?” She looked at Alice.

“Shane’s in the living room—talking to everybody else.”

“Wasn’t she just in here?”

“Yeah, she grabbed a bag of chips.” Alice touched Helena’s forehead. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yeah Al—I’m fine. Lets just go back out there.” Helena smiled and grabbed her and Papi’s beer. They walked back out into the living room, and Helena handed Papi a beer. Helena took a seat next to Shane on the couch, and Alice sat on Tasha’s lap as Papi and her date sat on the floor. Helena took a drink of her beer and sat her hands in her lap.

“What do you guys want to do tonight man?” Papi sighed as she sat between her date’s legs.

“Well—Tasha and I were going to stay in for tonight.” Alice smiled at Tasha, and Tasha wrapped her arms around Alice’s hips.

“So I came over here for nothing,” Shane shoved crumbs of chips in her mouth, and Alice chuckled.

“I’m sorry, but you arrived late.”

“Well—Helena do you want to do something?” Shane looked at her.

“Y-yeah, I guess we can do something.” She took another drink of her beer.

“Hey can we join you guys?” Papi asked.

“Yes!” Everyone looked at Helena, and Helena sighed. “Uhh—yeah sure.” 

“Where are we going to go?” Papi’s date spoke up.

“We’ll go to the Planet. Kit’s having some kind of event going on tonight.” Shane closed the bag of chips and licked her lips. “So ladies—are we heading out?” Papi and her date got up off the floor, and Helena stood up. She finished her beer and moaned.

“Well I’ll see you ladies later tonight.” She smiled nervously and walked towards the kitchen. She sat her bottle on the counter and walked out of the kitchen. She grabbed her purse and keys off the table.

“All right—Tash, Alice we’ll see you guys later.” Shane waved, and everybody else said goodbye. They all walked out of the apartment and closed the door.  Tasha looked at Alice and shook her head.

“What?”
