    Author Notes:

    If you heard the one person you never should have let go of would soon be making an appearance, would you control the situation or let the situation control you?

    Intro-

     

    Two years? Is that really how long it’s been since she left? I guess time flies when you’re having fun reminding yourself how you let go of the best thing that ever happened to you.

     She didn’t say anything when she left. Actually, I didn’t even see her leave. I’d come home from drinking one night after another fight only to find nothing but my apartment the way it looked before she moved in. All of her things were gone, except for a few stray pieces of clothing and CD’s.

     At the time, I tried to blame it on her. She should’ve tried to make it work if she really loved me. But my excuses fell short to cover the thinly veiled truth. I’d become a monster; Drinking every time a problem presented itself, refusing to talk to her after a fight (that I most likely started in the first place), taking her for granted and expecting her to always be there when I wanted her. There was nothing to be worked out. I was a problem without a solution.

     She’d been planning to leave me earlier than I cared to realize. That was obvious when I talked to Shane less than a week later after she went missing and Shane informed me that Alice had taken a job as a columnist for a lucrative magazine stationed in New York City. My friends must have hated me just as much as Alice did if they didn’t even care enough to tell me.

     My life literally fell apart.

     My drinking got out hand, costing me my career and putting up a bullet-proof wall between me and my friends. Eventually, I ran out of money and lost my condo and my parents thought my behavior was ridiculous; effectively making them cut me off from borrowing any more of their money. I’d lost everyone and everything that mattered to me. If it weren’t for Kit and Shane, I probably never would have made it.

     Kit helped me get over my drinking problem, coaching me through the 12 step program and attending AA meetings with me. And Shane let me move into her apartment after Jenny moved out with Max. She also made me see that even though it seemed like the tunnel had caved in on me and there was nothing left but a slow painful death, there was still a light at the end, even if it was as bright as a cheap flashlight running on dying batteries.

    1. Welcome! Wow. Amazing start here. Such raw emotion. But you also had a few touches of humor. Dana’s struggle back to sobriety is written very well. I do wonder what caused her fall in the first place. Dana seems like a natural instructor – except for the tennis-ball-in-the-chest thing. ;-D Alice is coming back with a fiancé? Ouch. Hopefully Shane and Kit can help Dana to not relapse. This is an excellent start, Paranoid_Zen! I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds. Thanks!!

    4. wow i never pictured Dana as one who would loose such control but after reading this well written chapter, I am starting to believe. Hopefully she will keep it under control when Alice shows back up with the fiance..

    5. Amazing!Alice coming back with a fiance? Wow,Dana must be taken aback upon hearing this. But I hope she would have the courage to at least apologize to Al. Great start I should say. PPS!

    6. Welcome Paranoid_Zen! I am excited to see your 1st post. I agree with MaGoose’s comment. I also like your writing style with D narrating. Looks like this will be one powerful story and I too can’t wait for the rest of the story. Whatever might happen when A returned, I hope D would remain strong and take things one day at a time. I think if I were D, I would try to make amends with A whether or not A would still want to be friends and go from there. Thank you very much. Really an intriguing 1st chapter!

    7. You must continue please. We have a lack of danish authors at the moment and this is an amazing start and one which in an interesting take on the relationship between Alice and Dana already. Please post soon!
