Alice spent the next two days sleeping. At least that was how it felt to Dana. Alice would wake up around 8, take a bath, pick at a bagel and then go back to sleep. She would get up again around 2 and eat a little something directly out of the fridge and then head back to bed. She would get up one more time, usually around 8, to have a bath and then go to sleep for the night.
Dana tried talking to her, but, it was tough since she did not want to push her at all. She got only basic answers to any questions and could not get her to engage in any real conversation. She felt so frustrated that she couldn’t seem to help her friend.
Dana became concerned when this same pattern started on the third day and decided to call the doctor. She left a message and the doctor called back a short while later. They exchanged greetings and then got to the reason for the call.
“How is Alice doing?” Abby asked warmly.
“Um. I’m not sure. I’m getting worried. All she seems to be doing is sleeping and she is hardly eating anything at all.”
“I can see why you might be concerned. Let me tell you that it is very normal after a trauma like she went through. You need to keep in mind that, not only was she badly hurt, she was basically kept a prisoner for several weeks. She may have looked free, but her jailor was always around. Both her body and her mind need time to rest. I doubt she has slept very well when she was with her girlfriend.”
“I guess that makes sense…”
“Listen, Dana, when is Alice’s follow-up appointment with me?”
“It’s on Friday, but, we have the first meeting with the counselor tomorrow.”
“I will give her a thorough exam on Friday and make sure there is no medical reason for her behavior. I will also mention it to the counselor. You did the right thing in calling me.”
“OK…” Dana processed the information.
“Dana. You need to understand that Alice has been in survival mode. She would not make a move until she had determined if the outcome would be safe. She has been so busy responding to other people’s cues that she has forgotten her own. Things are very confusing to her right now. How long have you two been friends?”

“Pillow hadn’t always been there in the past?” haha. “felt like she had just won Wimbledon. That was sweet. Poor, poor A. You are doing an amazing job writing A with the battered wife syndrome, that she would seek permission for everything and had no mind of her own. I am glad to see A getting her rest and D being smart calling the doctor and updating the gang on the latest development. I really like this version of D, so calm, cool an collected as seen how she handled the phone call. Jackie planned to track A down? Oooouch! I think I need to ask HF asap to help you build the shed for the arsenal. MaGoose, I am glad to hear that you get the story unstuck, cause I really look forward to reading each and every chapter. THANK YOU!!!
OOOO second! I agree with the above ^ specially bout the Wimbledon bit at a simple leg hug =) sweeeeeet. Awww at A thinking she has to ask about everything. J sounds scary man, like hunter lady, come on the family kick her butt! Great post! PPS!
Saint dana!!! i got dana credit for being cool when jackie called!! i think jackie is going to be more diligent in her search for alice as she panics more from not hearing from alice. jackie is about to lose her control over alice… wonderful update :)
LOved it when Al hugged Danes leg sweet! Thanks again for the wonderful chapter,keep up the excellent work! PPS
Awww yay, you got unstuck! I’m glad, that’s such an awful feeling. And I think the post office misplaced my package…Dana might be in Timbuktu by now. :( But it was sweet of you to send her. I think the cold weather and the season are getting to me, but I’ll be fine soon. Especially if you keep posting, since I love this story so much.
Okay. Dana needs a pen to stab her in the throat so that bitch can’t talk. PEN is the weapon of the day. LOVE YOU MAGOOSE. Keep it up Babe
How can some one act so caring and loving,yet being so bruter and beating the stuffing out of Alice. I dont ever remenber someone touching me in anger.so must have been very very young. Hope that Jackie isn’t going to try calling the other girls. She might get a ear full. UGH
Oh my God. You were right on cue when you wrote how Dana didn’t like Alice having to ask permission for anything she did. And Dana proved that the discipline in physical exercise is the foundation for discipline in life. Me, I’d just have Jackie ask if Alice was there, say nope, and just hang up without a second to think about it. But that’s just me. As for Jackie being out of Alice’s life ‘Permanently’, well…don’t have the girls do anything too stupid. I can live with them doing something crazy like an “Outsiders” rumble on Jackie, but anything MORE might be pushing it.
Dana’s has way more control than I would (wonder how much control Bette or Shane would have)…the shed might be getting too filled, I volunteer my restaurant it’s wicked big and there are locks for the fridge and freezer to lock J up in, ooh and lots of liquour to party with while making the big ice cube!
I’m with everyone else on the control it takes to keep cool…but what Alice needs is so much more important than giving in to that particular temptation –for now. Hmmm…an arsenal and liquor…not usually a good combination, but in this case…LOL! Keep up the good work and PPS.
well done this story is getting so good with each chapter..good on dana shes doing a great job of taking care of alice..that phone call was a little scary i can just see jackie finding them hopefully not tho. Plus i hope dana can take her if needed her character is just a psycho lol great chapter!!
hey Magoose!I’m sorry I’ve missed the ast chapter. Life kinda caugh up with me lol but this is very good. You’re doing excellently in this fic. Thanks :)
Another charming chapter, the delicate inter-play between Alice amd Dana is so cute and touching. Congratulations on getting yourself unstuck, I’m very pleased to hear that there will be more of this story soon.
