Well, she did know of course.

Dana was still very much attracted to Alice, and she wanted the best of both worlds. Alice by her side and still be able to play the field. However, Dana didn’t know that she was hurting Alice, and Alice was distancing herself to try to keep away the pain. And Dana was putting the blame on Shane.

‘What did I do?’ Shane sighed inwardly, she slumped back onto the couch and closed her eyes.

“Is something wrong baby?”

Opening her eyes to a welcomed sight, Shane smiled as her girlfriend lovingly stroked her cheek. “Nuth’in, just thinking” Shane whispered as she turned her head to kiss the palm of Carmen’s hand.

“Hmm” Carmen hummed knowingly as she placed a kiss on her girlfriend’s lips. “About what?”

“About how she could make everyone else as miserable as her.” Dana said in her drunken state.

All this while, Bette was held back by Tina from blowing her top, but with that remark, she decided enough was enough and stood up furious.

 “What are you doing with vodka!” Bette hissed.

Dana just shrugged continued to gulp down the alcohol. “Hey, this is a party isn’t it?” Dana stood up too, all psyched up by the alcohol for a fight.

“This is a party for a kid, Dana.” Alice quipped but she turned away sharply as Dana threw her a stare of death and dared her to say more.

“Come’n, what’s a little alcohol gonna do?”

There were uncomfortable looks all around and Bette looked like she was ready to throw Dana out. And it was exactly what she would have done if Tina didn’t rest her hand on Bette’s lap to remind her to keep calm.

“Bette” Tina warned, holding her wife’s arm to restrain her.

Shane wanted to stand up as well, but Carmen held on to her, not wanting Shane to get into something she knew she would regret. “Don’t” She whispered calmingly into Shane’s ear, hoping that Shane would listen to her. And Shane did, allowing herself to calm down and ignoring Dana.

“Why Shane, too chicken to admit that you are doing exactly that?” Dana continued on.
