Alice knocked on Laras door and waited. She raked her fingers through her hair and took a deep breath. Great, shes not home. She thought to herself. She started to walk away from the door, but Lara opened the door.

Alice. Alice turned around and saw Lara leaning against the doorframe. Alice smiled softly and walked back up the steps. Lara smiled and pulled Alice into a kiss. Alice pulled away and sighed.

We need to talk. Lara nodded and opened the door all the way. Alice stepped in and looked around. Lara pushed her hair behind her ear and crossed her arms. Alice ran her hand across the couch and gripped the pillow. Lara stared at Alice as she lowered her head and sighed. I didnt think this was going to be this hard. Lara walked over to Alice and touched her arm.

Take your time. You dont have to rush. Alice chuckled nervously.

You know how to make things easy for me. Alice looked up at Lara and saw her smiling at her. She turned towards Lara and took a deep breath. I know that we really werent the best of friends in the beginning, and that I was giving you hell the last two months. When Dana died, I completely lost it, she felt her eyes swell up with tears. I tried my best to get rid of the pain, but nothing helped. I wanted to feel once more, but I couldnt do it on my own. You started to come around, and I began to feel again. I cant describe the feeling, but it was the ecstatic. Lara smiled softly. I dont know if this is right to do, but I have feelings for you Lara. I dont know where theyre coming from, and its only been seven weeks. I-I just feels like that this is where I want to be. Lara rubbed Alices arm and looked into her eyes. But I feel like Im doing wrong to Dana. I dont know if she would have improved of this.

Al, I know that right now Dana is watching over us. I know that shes saying that its okay to feel. Theres nothing wrong with what you are feeling right now.
