Hollywood California

It was a cold snowy night, ice thinly covered the streets and cars; It fogged up the windows of the houses and stores. And for Alice Nario it was business as usual at club Swanson. She squeeze through the crowds, in the VIP section, with a tray full of St. Paulies and Millers, serving the hooting men and the pervs at tables 1,2, and 3. When closing time came around she and her co workers had to take the dancers off the stage and close the bar. The men scattered out else where to drink. "Goodnight Alice." Her friend, Nina said. "Night Nina." she said waving goodbye as Nina exited. "Nighty Night." Her gay co worker said waving good bye. "You too." she smiled and closed the doors on her way out.

She tiredly stumbled through the snow until she got to her apartment. She fell onto her couch and groaned. "I hate my job." she said aloud. She got up and went into her tiny closet. She slipped her pajamas on and paced around her kitchen. She made herself a warm cup of warm milk and guzzled it down. she sighed very loudly, then someone started knocking on the door. she sighed again. "What!?" She asked. "It's Joe." Her boyfriend said. She gasped and ran to the door. "Hi honey." he said with a puzzling look on his face. He had on a tux and a bouquet in his hands. "Why do you look like that?" She asked spilling a little milk. "Is it bad, uh." He blushed. "Wait, do you even remember our date tonight? Remember you said after work tonight you were going to come dancing with me." She sighed and then lead him inside. He sat down on the couch and she put the flowers in a cup of water. "Well how about you go home and get dressed into regular clothes and by time you get back the movie will start and the pizza will be here." She smiled and searched her cabinets. "Ok, hun. I'll be right back." He walked down stairs to his apartment and she got popcorn ready.

The Next Day...

She awoke to see Joe had left. She yawned and walked to her tiny closet to get ready for her day job. She put on her black t-shirt and khakis. She quickly scarfed down a sausage. She ran down the stairs and knocked on Joe's door. "Hi." A girl in a towel answered the door. "What do you want?" The girl was soon accompanied by Joe. Alice started to choke up, "Um, Joe, I needed to tell you something." She let a few tears escape from her eyes. "I want to rein check our date tonight. I want to rein check every date we were going to have, to never. I don't want to see you anymore." She ran down to the lobby before he saw her cry. She greeted the door man and went to her car. The tears made her eyes blurry and the fog coated her windshields. She started the car and sped to her job. But on her way to work she crashed. People tried to help her but no one could she was a good girl and sadly her life had to end. But when one life ends another one begins.
