It was 6:00 in the morning. Dana’s tip-toeing to the door, watching carefully where she’s going. She didn’t want to wake Shane, Carmen or Jenny up. It feels like it’s been days since she last went out and it feels like she’s been kept like a prisoner in Shane’s house.
She was nearly at the door when her foot tripped on something and made a bottle of beer topple over and land on the floor.

Dana: (whispering) *****..

She was still, waiting for someone to come in and see her like she got busted for going out to go to a concert at night. But nothing, no one. She continued walking and grabbed the keys to Shane’s car, she reached for the doorknob and was about to turn it when…

Shane: Where you going?

Damn! She was caught like a prisoner caught by the light of the police.

Dana: (turning around to face Shane) Out..Am I not allowed to?

Shane: I told you Alice is not at home..

Dana: Well Shane it’s been three days, I’ll check for myself.

Shane: Dana..NO! (grabbing her by the shoulders stopping her)

Dana: Shane! Let me go!

Shane: Dana you can’t!

Dana: Shane, I can do whatever I want! I feel like you’ve been trying to keep me away from her! Can you tell me what’s going on?!

Carmen overhearing the conversation, emerged out of Shane room.

Carmen: Shane… (giving her a reasurring look)

Shane: (turning to Carmen and letting Dana go) Okay, fine go.

Dana: Thanks..(opened the door and left)

Shane: (gving Carmen a big sigh)

Carmen: Don’t worry.

Alice’s house..

Dannielle’s carrying a box and walked into Alice’s room where Alice is sorting out some clothes.

Dannielle: Alice it’s so early, can we sort this out later? Besides you look really tired.

Alice: No..(yawn) It’s alright, the quicker we get this sorted out, the more time we could spend together…hey how about this box right here. (walking over to a black box)

Dannielle: (rushing to the box picking it up) No! I got it, it’s alright.

Alice: (weird look) Okay then…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dana pulled over at Alice’s house. She hopped out of the car and ran to the door. She really couldn’t wait to see Alice. The smile on her face when she sees her. She knocked on the door and waited…soon after Alice opened the door.
