There were 2 police cars outside Alice’s house. Alice is talking to two of them and the other two were searching her house. Shane and Carmen is talking to another police officer. Carmen looked over the cop’s shoulder and saw Dana running towards them.

Carmen: Dana!

Shane and the police turned around and saw Dana running, Alice saw her aswell and she ran to her. When she met up with her Alice gave her a hug, crying.

Alice: Are you alright? Did she hurt you? Oh my god I’m so sorry. I will never forgive myself if anything happened to you, this is all my fault.

Dana too tired to talk rested in Alice’s shoulder.

Police Officer: Is this Miss Fairbanks?

Shane: Yeah, Dana Fairbanks.

Police Officer: Excuse me Miss Fairbanks, but we have to ask you a couple of questions.

Alice broke off and wiped a tear running down her cheek. Dana went over to the police officer and he started asking her question.

Shane: (to Alice) What’s gonna happen now? Now that Dannielle’s gone.

Alice: I’m not ready for a-a relationship right now.

Carmen: That’s alright, you’ve been through lots.

Alice: Dana would understand right?

Shane: She did break up with Lara and came back..for you.

Alice: Your right but..

Carmen: She needs time but it’s up to you.

Alice looked at Dana, Dana glanced over and smiled at Alice. Alice smiled back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That night…

Shane’s house…

They were all in the lounge, Shane, Carmen, Alice and Dana. Shane sitting next to Alice and Carmen sitting next Dana.

Shane: Where did she take you?

Dana: I don’t really know but in this wharehouse.

Carmen: What she just let you go?

Dana: Um yeah and before she did uum she said to say I’m sorry to Alice.

They looked at eachother. Alice looking a little guilty.

Alice: …what for?…

Dana: I dunno she said that she never loved anyone like you and you must’ve…loved me very..much.

Alice: (didn’t know what to say)…oh..(nodding slightly)…okay then..

Awkward silence..Shane looked at Carmen, Carmen looked back. Carmen stretched her arms and yawned fakily.

Carmen: Well..it’s getting late..we should get some sleep.

Alice: I should get going.

Shane: Yeah your right, you could sleep here if you want Alice.

Carmen: Yeah I mean it wouldn’t be safe to stay at your house.

Alice: No thanks..I think I’m pretty safe…

Shane and Carmen hugged her.

Shane & Carmen: Goodnight..goodnight Dana.

Dana: Night.

Shane and Carmen left the room. Dana stood up.

Alice: Dana..I’m really sorry for what happened today..It’s totally my fault.

Dana: (smiling) It’s fine, nothing happened.

Alice smiled at her.

Dana: What now?

Alice: I think..we should cool off for a little bit, there’s been a lot of things happening.

Dana: She’s gone Al, she’s not gonna come back.

Alice: I know but..still, I’ll make it up to you okay.

Alice hugged Dana. Dana hugged back.

Dana: You could make it up to me by us..being together.

Alice: Dana, I’m serious..for a little bit. We need time.

They didn’t want the hug to end. They both wished that it wouldn’t end. Alice longing for Dana’s kiss but she knows that they needed time.

Dana: Can you atleast stay here with me..make sure I’m safe from your evil girlfriend.

Alice: (laughing) She’s my ex.

Dana: (laughing)….Can you stay with me? Hmm?

Alice: (whispering) Okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the wharehouse…

Angelo and Sunny is loading a van with black bags. A black car pulled over. Dannielle in a room, she was looking at the photo of Alice and Dana. Angelo opened the door.

Angelo: Mikey’s here.

Dannielle: (still looking at the picture)

Angelo: Dannielle?

Dannielle: Yeah, I’m coming.

Angelo went away. Dannielle put the picture in her pocket and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At night..

Dana is sleeping, back turned to Alice. Alice couldn’t sleep, she was just looking at Dana. She came closer and slipped her hand around her waist and closed her eyes smelling Dana’s hair. She missed her so much. Dana turned around to face Alice. She opened her eyes and looked at Alice. Alice opened her eyes and looked into Dana’s eyes. Dana smiled at her sleepily and closed her eyes.
