Shane sat down softly on the bed and grabbed Alice’s fragile hand. “Hey”

Alice looked at her friend. “Hi”

“How you feel?”

“Like shit.” Everybody smiled, and Alice began to laugh but groaned in pain.

Helena walked over to Alice’s side. “You better be careful there.”

“I’m fine,” Alice laid her head back and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes up again and saw the last person she thought she would never see. Dana looked up and saw that Alice was staring at her.

Bette looked at Alice and saw Dana. She walked over to Dana and brought her into the room. “You guys, why don’t we give them some time.” everybody looked at each other and got up. They all except Lara walked by and gave Alice a kiss on the forehead. Everybody walked past Dana and walked out the room. Lara walked past Dana and gave her a peck on the cheek. She walked out the room and closed the door. Dana stood there and looked at her friend, her former lover in the hospital bed. She couldn’t believe this was real. She walked closer to Alice and took a seat in the chair next to the bed. She smiled softly and looked at her.

“How are you?”

“I could be better.” Alice kept looking at the ceiling. She didn’t want to look her in the eyes. She was afraid that she would break down again.

Dana sighed and wrapped her hands together. “I don’t care if you don’t believe me, but I had a dream about an accident. I felt so real, but I couldn’t see the person’s face. I just knew something bad happen to somebody, and it turned out to be you. I was so devastated that I dropped to the floor. I came here as soon as I knew that you were here. I’ve been here all night just to see you,” she rested her hand on top of Alice’s. “I wanted to let you know I’m here for you.”

Alice sighed and felt a tear roll down her cheek. “I don’t know if I can lay here and believe that you care for me.”

Dana dropped her head. “Please don’t say that Alice. If I didn’t care for you, I wouldn’t be here right now. I still love you, and I want to be here to help.”
