A Month of Miami, Not A Month Off

20: Aftermath (Part 2)

In Dorothy's room...

" Blanche, I am very sorry that you're going through a breakup, but get over it! You've been in bed all day doing nothing but cry. Everytime I come in I hear sniffling," Dorothy told her.

" What? What's all this about?" Blanche asked.

" I've had enough of hearing you cry over a man who is no good for you! You are too good for him! You need to move on and start over like you do in all of your relationships. This is probably the hundredth one this year," Dorothy explained.

" Actually, this is the thirtieth," Blanche rectified her.

" Whatever! The point is, you can't sit there and cry over a stupid man! I've told you this many times before," Dorothy continued.

" Well Dorothy, I'm not going to do this for the rest of my life! Of course I'm going to go chasing for another man! Just not now, I'm trying to get over a breakup," Blanche explained.

" Look Blanche, you are acting like you're in high school! Even Sally is taking this better than you are! She's been out of bed more than you have," Dorothy replied.

" What? She was in tears last night," Blanche said.

" I'm sure she isn't as upset about this as you are," Dorothy added.

" Well, she was more upset last night!" Blanche exclaimed.

" Who cares who was more upset than who? This is ridciulous and I think that both of you are being ridiculous! This isn't the first time you two have been acting ridiculous!" Dorothy yelled.

" Geez Dorothy, you didn't hve to yell at me like that," Blanche told her.

" Blanche, I am not yelling at you like I would when I fight with you. I am yelling at you like I'm trying to help you out," Dorothy replied.

" I guess I'll just get out of bed and move on. There is no use crying over another man when there is another one in store for me," Blanche said getting out of bed making Dorothy smile.

As Blanche left the bedroom, Rose entered.

" Hello Dorothy!" Rose exclaimed.

" Hello Rose," Dorothy replied.

" I see Blanche and Sally are out of bed! Have they gotten over it?" Rose asked.

" I am sure but not sure, Rose," Dorothy replied.

In the living room......

As Blanche entered the livivng room, she saw Sally sitting on the couch with some pudding.

" Hey Sally," Blanche said.

"Hi Blanche," Sally replied.

" How are you doing?" Blanche asked.

" Eh, I've just been on an eating binge," Sally answered.

" Wow, that's better than being on a crying binge. That's the kind of binge I've been on all day," Blanche said.

Sally nodded and continued eating, but then stopped.

" You know what? I don't even know why I'm eating this much! I'm gonna be fat," Sally said.

" I don't even know why I've been crying so much. I can't let this hurt me! There are a ton of other men out there that would care for me and want me," Blanche said.

" I'm not letting this hurt me either," Sally added.

Later that evening.....

Everyone was done with dinner and was sitting on the couch.
