Frankie collapsed onto the mattress that lay on the floor. She'd been working two jobs for the last week and it was beginning to catch up with her and amazingly she actually missed the Glam-o-rama. Now she worked days at a gas station and nights cleaning office buildings and she absolutely hated it. Frankie pulled the blanket up to her chin, she was freezing and the heat had decided to go out, it was nights like this that made her wish that Bianca was laying next to her with her arms wrapped tightly around her. She sighed wishing that she'd never left Pine Valley. But that didn't matter, Bianca hated her so there was no reason to think about the past and wish that she could change things, because she couldn't even if she wanted to. She reached under her mattress and pulled out a bag of pills, they helped her get to sleep and she really needed them. She couldn't take laying there staring up at the ceiling thinking about Bianca and regretting everything that she'd ever done. Unfortunately she hadn't stopped at sleeping pills, once she was awake she needed something to keep her energetic and then later something to relax, she knew it was stupid but it didn't seem to matter anymore. So she was being stupid, it's not like anyone cared, so why should she?
She took a pill and in a matter of minutes she fell asleep and had no dreams about a past that couldn't be changed.

Bianca sat down and opened her English book, she read a few sentences and then ended up staring into space, it was New Year's Eve and the night of the Crystal Ball and all she could think about was how fun it would have been to go with Frankie. She absently tapped her pencil against the book, she shouldn't be sitting here spending the night alone studying for an English quiz that was a week away. She shut the book and then went upstairs to her room. She opened her closet and started pulling clothes out, finally she found the dark purple dress she had been looking for so she sat it out on her bed. It went just above her knees, it had a plunging neckline and it would look perfect on her. She found the perfect shoes to go with and then searched her jewelry box for accessories, when she found the locket she had given Frankie. She pushed it aside, finally finding a silver necklace with a silver and purple star pendant dangling from it. She went to the bathroom and, took a shower, did her hair and makeup and then got dressed.
She looked at herself in the mirror and she smiled.

Bianca got out of the taxi and walked into the Blue Angel, a gay bar that she'd been to a few times. They were having their annual New Year's Eve party and she looked forward to keeping her mind off of a certain someone. Bianca walked over to the bar and ordered a diet coke. She sat back and took in her surroundings, the people, the atmosphere, the music, this was just what she needed. There were couples dancing together and she smiled thinking about how wonderful it felt to hold someone that you cared about close like that.
"Would you like to dance?" asked a woman a little older than Bianca, she had long blonde hair and green eyes. Bianca noticed she was wearing tight jeans and a black shirt that showed off her firm stomach.
"I'd love to," said Bianca standing up and walking to the dance floor. It was a slow song so Bianca put her arms around the other girls waist while hers went around Bianca's neck.
"I'm Jenna by the way," said the other girl smiling.
"I'm Bianca, it's nice to meet you."
"Bianca, that's a pretty name."
"Thanks, have you been in Pine Valley long?"
"About three years, I'm a junior at PVU."
"Really? What are you majoring in?"
"Psychology, you?"
"I don't know, I'll probably start college this fall."
"Are you still in high school?"
Bianca blushed, she was supposed to be 21, after all that's what her ID said. "Umm, no, I just thought I'd take a few years off, you know?"
Jenna laughed and Bianca couldn't help but smile. "You are a horrible liar," Jenna said as the song ended and they walked back to the bar, "don't worry I won't tell."
"Thanks," said Bianca as she grabbed her diet coke and sat next to Jenna.
"You look older than you are, so what are you doing here on New Year's Eve?"
"Well, I needed to get out of the house." She looked down into her drink trying not to see Frankie's face in her minds' eye, she saw her anyway.
"Let me guess, broken heart?" said Jenna looking at Bianca.
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
"I could just see it in your eyes, you loved her." It was more a statement than a question but Bianca responded anyway.
"Yeah, I did." There was silence as Jenna saw that Bianca had no intention of talking about it so they listened as a song began to play:

All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
( Running through my head )
( Running through my head )
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
( All the things she said... )
This is not enough ...

I'm in serious shit, I feel totally lost
If I'm asking for help it's only because
Being with you, has opened my eyes
Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?

I keep asking myself, wondering how
I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out
Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me
Nobody else so we can be free
(Nobody else so we can be free)

All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
(Running through my head)
(Running through my head)
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
(All the things she said)
This is not enough
(This is not enough)

All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said

And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed
They say it's my fault but I want her so much
Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain
Coming over my face, wash away all the shame
When they stop and stare - don't worry me
'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me
I can try to pretend, I can try to forget
But it's driving me mad, going out of my head

All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
(Running through my head)
(Running through my head)
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
(All the things she said)
This is not enough
(This is not enough)

All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said
All the things she said

All the things she said, she said
All the things she said
All the things she said

Mother looking at me
Tell me what do you see?
Yes, I've lost my mind

Daddy looking at me
Will I ever be free?
Have I crossed the line?

All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
(Running through my head)
(Running through my head)
All the things she said
All the things she said
Running through my head
Running through my head
(All the things she said)
This is not enough
(This is not enough.......)

All the things she said...........

Bianca decided she didn't want to be in that club, at that time, listening to that song, seeing couples dancing and in love.
"It was very nice meeting you," she said to Jenna as she grabbed her sweater and left, tears glistening on her cheeks, she angrily wiped them away. She had been so stupid, what had she been thinking? It had only been a week and she had actually believed she could out for one night, she pulled out her cell phone and called for a taxi when she heard someone behind her.
"Bianca, wait..."

The song in this chapter is by T.A.T.u and called "All the things she said"
