Dana sat up thrown by this sudden escalation into an argument. “Don’t start this with me, Al. I don’t want to fight with you.”
“They did! You really are something.”
“Alice, I’m not here to spy on you. Who the ***** do you think sent me to spy on you? Huh, your friends? They don’t talk to me. Come on, what friends do I have left? How about your mother? You think she called me?” Dana stormed into the kitchen and grabbed a beer. She returned to the bedroom, “At least your friends are caring enough to coddle you or spy on you. *****, no one gives a flying ***** about me. You see anybody spying on me, Al? You want proof? Check my phone.”
Alice didn’t say anything as she got ready to take a shower. She let the water stream down her face. She couldn’t explain why she suddenly had gotten so upset with Dana. She figured a nice, relaxing shower would calm her down.
Dana was waiting for Alice when she came out of the bathroom. She stood at the door with another beer in her hand. “I only want to be close to you.”
Alice initially jumped at hearing Dana’s voice. She didn’t expect the athlete to be next to her. “Wh-Huh?”
Dana slurred her words slightly, “I wanted to get close to you. That’s
whywhy I stay. I try and try. But you’re too fucked up to notice.”
Alice took Dana’s arm and brought her to the living room. She left Dana at the couch while she got herself a drink. She sat down beside her drunken friend. Dana chugged half her beer within ten seconds. Alice looked at her with a mixture of shock and awe, “Damn, Dane.” She took a sip of her own beer. “You’re becoming butch-er by the second.”
Dana wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, “Gee, thanks.” The truth was Dana felt like Alice was turning bipolar on her. Alice didn’t seem to register that her moods fluctuated almost violently at times.
Alice chuckled to herself, “You’re brooding again.”
