Alice went home. It felt strange being there again. This did not seem like home to her anymore. Taking a suitcase from her closet, she began to pack.

” Fuck! My life is a mess. My friends abandon me…. no one believes me. I’m better off without them. Dana, she betrayed me in the worst possible way. She fucken’ raped me! Fuck you, Dana!! I hate you ! I hate you!

Packing up the last of her things….. she gets in her car and drives away.

Dana gets out and towels off. Slipping on some comfortable clothes, she calls Tina’s cell phone.

Tina – Hello.

Dana – It’s me. Did you find her?

Tina – Are you sitting down?

Dana – Oh God, now what?

Tina – She found us….. she is so angry, Dana.

Dana – Is she there now?

Tina – No, she walked out. She’s mad at all of us because we believe you’re innocent.

Dana – She really believes that I did this to her? Did anyone take Alice’s side?

Tina – I said we all believe you’re innocent.

Dana – I know that….. it’s just…. Alice is all alone. Everyone deserted her and I’m worried about what she might do.

Tina – Yeah, I don’t know what she’s going to do. You better be prepared….. I think she’ll turn you in, Dana. I’ve never seen her so angry…. she pushed Shane into a table when she left.

Silence.

Tina – Hello….. are you still there?

Dana hung up. She was in shock.

Lara walks through the door….. fearing the worst when she saw Dana’s face.

Lara – What is it, Dana?

Dana – I think Alice is going to turn me in. She’s so angry…. She’s going to send me to jail, Lara.

Lara – I was afraid this was going to happen. I’ll protect you, Dana. I won’t let anything bad happen to you….. you believe me, don’t you.

Dana – Yes.

Lara – I think we should get married right away…… tonight.

Alice, you bitch. I’ll make you pay!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Alice was so angry, she was shaking. She knew she needed to calm down. Everything she had done was so hard. Nothing is ever what it seems….. all of us learn that lesson at some point.

“What a fucking mess, but I’ll straighten it out. I hope you enjoyed the show, Gina…. YOU FUCKING BITCH! I know my friends will forgive me for walking out on them. Lara…..there is no word that can describe what you are. You are the one I’m really going to fuck up! You’ll suffer the worst! You’ll wish you never met me….. Marrying Dana? You’ll marry Dana, over my dead body! (softening) Dana, I’m so sorry…. for everything. I’ll make this right…. for you. I promise I’ll tell you how I really feel about you when this is all over. Please forgive me for what I’m about to do. I hope you fell the same about me when this is all over.”

Sorry for the long wait. Hope you like where this is going. I am a little out of synch since I had that long break. I’ll work hard though. Hope I didn’t lose my readers cause of they way I left you hanging….
