All The White Horses: Part Two (2/5)
“She was so unhappy back then,” said Alice quietly, remembering the
days when she first met Dana and had dragged to her so many places the
tennis player thought had been forbidden to her. Places like local
lesbian clubs and coffee shops and even a few highly humorous trips to
a few sex toy stores. Releasing a wry laugh, Alice looked up into
Howie’s concerned gaze and revealed, “I still feel guilty for how I
acted when she came out to your parents. That crap about saying I have
a boyfriend? It was fucking shitty of me.”
“Yeah, it was,” Howie conceded in soft tones. “But you were there for
her after and that’s sort of what really counts.” Alice nodded her head
just a bit and watching the look of total self reproach and a good
amount of self hatred and thinking how it was twisted that the blonde
was sort of like his sister these days in terms of her personality,
Howie decided he had to finally say something. His parents and him had
been trying to butt out of Dana’s private life after the way she
exploded at them for confronting her about all the parties she had been
photographed at after her break up with Lara. The entire situation had
shocked Howie because it was so unlike his sister to do those things
and then to be angry when they asked because he could tell their parents
were genuinely worried about her and it had nothing to do with proper
behavior and the risk of bad press. Hell, Dana already had a fucking
deluge of bad press at the time because of her semi-whoring ways. “You
know that she never stopped being in love with you?”
Brown eyes went impossibly wide and Alice looked at Howie in something of a daze and whispered, “What did you just say?”
“Dana never stopped being in love with you,” repeated Howie, meeting
Alice’s shocked gaze head on and trying to steady and calm her with an
understanding smile. “She may have gotten confused and lost in her
fucking insecurity about was she really in love with you but the
feelings never went away, Alice.” He paused for a moment then looked as
if he was mulling over something, clearing his throat and coming to an
internal decision, Howie said, “I went to see her after she broke up
with Lara and started dating all those Hollywood glamour dykes. My
folks were worried about her and not because of how it looked or any
bullshit like that but because she wasn’t acting like our Dana, right?
Anyway, I went to see her and I waited for hours in her condo when she
came home with this total blonde floozy who was trying to look like
Renee Zellweger but with an even puffier face. I sent Ms. Puffy Face on
her way and tried to talk to Dane which was not really easy considering
she was fucking bombed.” Howie paused to look at Alice, smiling a bit
when he saw the blonde was listening closely to his every word and
confessed, “I don’t mean to be like my parents but I can’t help it
sometimes. Not that I’m uptight, Republican, or god forbid, straight,
but how I sometimes am kind of harsh in how I say stuff. Especially
when I think people are screwing up. I once made one of the fullbacks
on my team cry because of the way I lectured his performance,” Howie
said sheepishly, blushing a bit and rubbing the back of his head. “And
I kind of got that way with Dane and I feel fucking horrible about it.
But I got that way and she started crying, which is why my horrible
feeling remains, and she told me the reason she was with Ms. Puffy Face
and all of those other bimbos was because she was trying to forget you
and it wasn’t working.” Reaching out to clasp the writer’s hands and
praying that he was somehow getting through, Howie said soft and
solemn, “She told me she’s still in love with you, Alice.”

OK – I just read the first chapter and this one – dreiser – awesome. truly. funny, sweet, sad, hopeful and bittersweet. I’d expect nothing less from you though. Very well done!
That was beautiful. Awesome writing as usual. Great way to end that chapter. Looking forward to the next.
Absolute perfection. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again no doubt, but your writing is amazing. And I’m not just talking about the grammar, which is a big pet-peeve of mine, but I’m talking about the way you portray and characterize each character to form. You perfectly write and vocalize Alice and Dana (no doubt because of your love for the characters), but you also have a good sense for portraying all of the others. I know you love Helena, as do I, and I like how you are forming her as she’ll hopefully be portrayed in S3 (although I do like snarky Helena too!). I know where this story is heading, mainly from checking in at your journal for updates, and I’m still excited about it because of how it’s written. Anyway, long-winded I know, but I have to give accolades to your talent.
Awww i am soo inlove with this story! The way you write the characters is spot on! This chapter was just amazing! Please update soon
Thank you for this story. Yours are stories I can read over and over again and always love. Perfect.
Simply Awsome, I hope the actual season of Alice and Dana’s relationship is at least half as good as it is in your story, keep up the great work!!
That was great. Your writing is amazing. I love angst and there was enough to go around in this chapter. Their love confession was…beautiful. Great job.
I have read it more than one time and I found more and more things that I like in your story. I said before but danish has unbelieveble writers, thanks.
Hiya, I’m a silent lurker, BUT your stuff is great…the only other person here with as much talent to hold my attention is Ms.Layla_Gray, but you capture the couple like no one esle…keep it up and you have another fan here….Peace.
IC created the characters, but I am amazed by how well you “get” them. I’m sitting here at my desk feeling happy because Alice and Dana were able to admit their feelings for each other. At the same time there is a bittersweet feeling because there is a good chance that the overall ending of the story will not be happy. It’s sad that two people who were so well suited for each other and so in love had to waste so much time. But it makes for a great story for us. I will bide my time re-reading the first two parts until you post again. Thanks for another wonderful story.
I usually lurk, but I just had to comment. Beautiful. Your writing is simply beautiful. The character development, the story development, I feel more like a voyeur than a reader!! Thank you!
Amazing! I had butterflies in my stomach the entire time I read this story. You write Alice and Dana beautifully. I love Alice’s comments like, “you’re such a girl and yet so helpless about girly things” and Alice being so sweet with Dana while she was sick in the bathroom. Their thoughts and fears which you expressed, are things that Eileen and her writers failed to say in Season 2. I’ve always loved the playful and sarcastic aspect of their relationship- very well written. I can’t wait till your next update!
i had chills the entire time of reading this story. It was amazing the way you wrote about al and dane’s love and i so hope beyond hope that you write more. Please post soon
wow that was amazing! please post soon!
this is great I am just catching up so I hope that u have already post again
