The Planet

Alice and Dana were sitting at a table with Lara about to explain to her about Dana’s physical when Nylan strutted in and slid into the chair next to Lara.

“Have you seen Tina…I…I have to talk to her” Nylan had a worried expression on her face as she looked at Dana and Alice.

“No I haven’t Dane honey have you” Dana shook her head no and shrugged, “Why is something wrong” Alice asked. Nylan put on a blank expression trying to convince her friends that she wasn’t in need to find Tina.

“No I just haven’t…seen her all day” Alice rubbed her hand knowing the feeling of not being able to be away from a person and she turned to Dana and smiled.

“I know the feeling…so anyway” Alice said as she began her story.

*Flashback to earlier that day*

“Okay Dana just fill this cup up and then we’ll be done” the doctor said as he pointed toward the bathroom. Dana laughed uneasily as she marched to the bathroom. She pushed open the first stall and let out a sigh. Dana pushed her pants down around her ankles when she noticed a familiar hand reach under her stall.

“Alice” she asked.

“Shhh…no its not Alice…codename remember” Dana rolled her eyes.

“I’m sorry…Spirit Fingers” Dana replied with no enthusiam.

“That’s right…now hand it over” Dana passed Alice the cup.

“Yahtzee” Alice screamed.

*End of Flashback*

“So you took the test for Dana” Lara asked.

“Yes I did…who’s your *****” Alice said as she leaned over and kissed Dana.

“Okay so…” Nylan began but she seen Shane coming towards the table with a determined look on her face, “What’s up” Nylan asked concerned and Shane struck her with a blow to the face sending her crashing to the floor. Nylan shook the blow away and cupped her mouth, tasting blood. She glanced up at Shane who was staring back with pure hatred. Nylan acted first on instinct and stood up quickly, drawing back and decking Shane in the eye. Shane grabbed Nylan by the collar as they both struggled to gain control of the fight, losing their balance and falling to the floor.

“Dana…do something” Alice gestured and Dana shrugged her shoulders not wanting to be injured by Nylan and Shane’s dangerous alley brawl. The spectacle drew attention quickly as the two friends rolled back and forth. Kit rushed over looking back at Dana, Alice and Lara for help as everyone joined in to pull the two apart.

“You fucked her didn’t you” Shane yelled out of breath and bruised from the tussle, “You couldn’t stand the fact that I was happy so you fucked her…how could you do that” she said crying as she wiggled from Alice and Dana’s grasp and headed to her truck. Nylan stood speechless and dumbfounded.

“We’re gonna go and find her” Alice said as she and Dana headed for the door. Kit turned to face Nylan and shook her head in disappointment.

“Wasn’t Tina enough for you or did you have to go and ***** up Shane’s relationship to satisfy your own ego…you won’t ever learn will you Nylan…do you even feel bad about this or are just that heartless” Kit walked away without another word or a second glance. Nylan walked over to the bar and ordered a drink, Lara followed. She sat down beside Nylan.

“Did you really do it…you slept with Shane’s girlfriend” Lara asked and Nylan stared at her, looking into her eyes.

“Yes…”

*Flashback*

Ambrosia’ s Suite

Ambrosia pushed Nylan back onto the bed, pushing her tongue inside of her mouth with force as her hand crept down to her jeans as she began to unzip them.

“I can’t do this” Nylan whispered to herself more than to Ambrosia, but Ambrosia didn’t stop her actions.

“You will or I’m gonna tell Tina everything” Ambrosia said biting her bottom lip. Nylan sat up pushing her off gently and stood to zip her pants.

“No…I’m going to tell her the truth and hope that she gives me another chance and if she doesn’t I’ll just have to deal with it…and I’m also telling Shane about us because I love her and I don’t want to live a lie anymore”, Nylan walked to the door and yanked it open, “Oh yeah and ***** you” she said. Ambrosia walked to the door and kissed an unsuspecting Nylan.

“No fucked…is what you’re going to be after I’m done” she whispered.

*End of Flashback*

“I had ***** with her but it was way before her and Shane got together” Nylan finished as she knocked back her drink and ordered another.

“You have to tell her…” Nylan held up her hand in front of Lara’s face.

“Did you see her face…she hates me…I brought this all on myself with all the secrets and lies but I all that is about to change” She drank the last shot, dropped the money down and headed for the door. Lara watched her walk away before looking back at the bar and noticing Nylan had left her phone. She picked it up and it rang instantly. Lara jumped up hopping she could catch Nylan before she left.

****

Nylan headed home to tell Tina the truth, her mind was a mess. She didn’t know how she was going to tell her but she had to know the truth. Nylan was so caught up in her thoughts that she ran the a red light, she never saw the SUV coming as it slammed into the driver’s side. The car did a flip before it landed upside down…

****

“Hello” Lara answered the phone.

“Who is this” the woman asked. Lara was about to answer when she heard the crashing noise and the sound of horns blaring ‘Nylan’ she thought as she ran to her car praying Nylan was okay.

****

Nylan was a bloody mess as she fought to keep her eyes open. She began to flashback to her and Shane as teenagers, her mother, her father, Dana, Alice, Shane, and her laughing at a table in the Planet, Bette, Tina, Kit, and….she smiled as her eyes began to slowly close and it all faded to black. ‘Tell them all I love them’ she said.
