Tina took hold of Bettes hand as she stood up, Im going to go follow her, Ill see you at home baby.

—————-

Tina followed behind Alice, Alice, where are you goin?

Alice turned around, I have to get home, T. If Dana comes in, I wont be able to handle it.

Tina touched Alices shoulder, Can I come with you? Maybe we could talk?

Alice looked down and thought about Tinas offer, Id really like that T.

—————-

Dana sat in her seat staring out of the window thinking back to that moment she made the biggest mistake of her life. How could I just sleep with that girl? How could I just fall for the trap? You are so stupid Dana!, she thought to herself. She never wanted to hurt Alice, she knew how many times Alice was hurt in the past. She reached into the opening on her collar and grabbed a necklace that carried the ring Alice threw at her that day.

—————-

Alice and Tina sat on the floor looking through a box Alice had made with everything that had anything to do with Dana in it.

Alice set down the picture she was holding, Why would she do that T? Whyd she have to ***** it up?

Tina looked deep into Alices eyes, People do thingsthings they cant explain. After what happened with Bette, I would never think Dana would end up doing the same thing. But one thing Bette told me that actually did make sense, she said People do crazy things when they think theyre about to lose something special to them, either they do something to pull them back in, or to push them away so that when things end, it wont hurt as much, you understand?

Alice let a tear fall, Yeah I get that Tina, but I thought we were good she paused to think about why she had gone back home early that night, she had never told anyone what she was going to ask Dana, it was the one secret she was actually able to keep.

Tina could see the hurt in Alices eyes, This girl meant nothing to Dana, she explained that to me over and over again, yes it is no excuse but she was drunk and sad, we all do crazy stuff
