Alice saw Dana standing there leaning on Bettes and Tinas shoulders, wounded, helpless, and she saw in her eyes that Dana was also hopeful. Alice couldnt help but just stare, she saw it in Dana, the love, the excitement, even the lust, but then she also saw the girl who cheated on her.

Alice shook the thoughts away and found her way back to reality, Hey Dana, are you ok?, she asked still standing back and away.

Bette interrupted, The small talk is great and all, but I think Ms. Dana here needs to take a seat.

Bette and Tina walked her over to the couch and sat her down lifting her leg on top of the table placing a pillow underneath it.

Alice and Shane walked over to the other couch and sat down, Do you need anything Dana? Alice asked.

Dana was still in awe staring back into the eyes she has longed for 12 months to see. The feelings in her heart had never left her but now that she was looking right at Alice instead of seeing her in a daydream, her heart started to beat faster and with more warmth than the sun. her love for Alice was never one that could easily go away, there was no way that she could ever stop loving her, she was stuck, somewhere she wanted to be. She thought to herself, How could I mess this up?

Alice finally asked what she had been wanting to ask, Where you staying Dana, I could get your stuff and drop it off wherever youre going? Alice looked up at Dana who had a confused and hurt look in her eyes.

Dana replied, WellI thoughtI thought maybe I could stay hereif thats alright of course.

Alice couldnt help the way she felt even though it had been a year already, cuts are cuts, the pain is always there, As much as I would love for you to stay here Dana, I dont think its a good idea just as she was going to ask her to leave she remember all the times Dana had taken care of her and as much as she hurt Alice, she took care of her a lot more times, you know what? Never mind, you stay here, Ill go get some of your stuff
