All The White Horses: Part Two (2/5)
“Alice–” Howie began his voice and features just filled with an
endless sympathy for her and he reached out to her in an attempt to
comfort but she suddenly rose to her feet to stop this.
“I can’t be here now,” said Alice mechanically, speed walking to the
door and grabbing her purse and jacket along the way. “Tell Dana I had
a meeting at KCRW I forgot about and I’ll get the station lawyer to
help sort all this mess out. And I’m sorry for causing her more
problems.”
“Alice!” Howie called out again and was rewarded with the blonde
pausing at the front door though she refused to turn around and kept
her hand on the doorknob. “Don’t do this. For all those years when Dane
was in the closet you tried to teach her not to let fear rule her life
and that’s what you’re doing right here. Don’t do this to you and don’t
you dare fucking do this to her. She deserves to be happy, especially
now, and you can give her that.”
“She deserves to be safe,” replied Alice stiffly, opening the door and
closing it with such a quiet click that Howie found himself wondering
if she had even been there in the first place.

Thanks to the circumstances in which their friendship began, Helena and
Alice’s favorite restaurants, cafes, clubs, and theaters were a good
distance from the standard West Hollywood scene because of how the
blonde had wanted to avoid many of her acquaintances over embarrassment
about her behavior during her break up with Dana. When they met up for
lunch before Alice’s KCRW program started, they were at a small Italian
bistro a few blocks from the station that was popular with the Santa
Monica College students. They were friendly with most of the staff and
enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere they maintained.
Helena was hoping that the pleasant atmosphere would help her say what
she felt she had to should she remain a good friend to Alice. Ever
since the writer had discovered Dana’s illness she had noticed a slow
but nevertheless alarming trend. Almost all of Alice’s free time was
spent with the athlete and at first she thought it was merely her own
petty jealousies that was causing her to ruminate on this. Alice was
her first real friend, after all, and she admitted, to herself at
least, that she had something of a crush on her. Of course she felt
jealous on having her time with the writer being stolen away by the
woman who hurt Alice so very badly. Then her logical mind and soft
heart would kick in and Helena would think of being in Dana’s position,
wouldn’t she want Alice with her? And then there was also the fact that
Helena was painfully aware that the journalist was still in love with
Dana and there was little doubt in her mind that the tennis player
returned those feelings of love.

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
