Beaten, Working Toward Recovery Chapter 5
After saying, this Dana continued to hold Alice letting her know everything was OK, and she was there.
WAITING ROOM
Alice hated waiting room, they tended to be small with old furniture, and older magazines. However, waiting in a waiting room with Dana was an adventure all its own. Alice knew Dana was an active person. She also knew that Dana was not one to watch TV for hours. If you actually found a movie she would sit still for, you knew you had accomplished something. Dana did not like to sit still, so sitting in a waiting room with Dana was driving Alice crazy. Alice wondered if a six year old had less energy then Dana. Dana paced, Dana picked up all the magazines looked through them, but did not read anything. Dana bounced, she did not bounce up and down, she bounced her legs, fast and continually. She bounced her fingers, back and forth on her legs, index finger to pinky, pinky to index back and forth. And it was starting to drive Alice crazy.
Alice also knew some of the energy came for the fact that Dana had no workout today. Dana spent her morning trying to calm her down. She still was in a little bit of shell shock over her reaction to the article in the paper. She still could not believe those fuckers had killed someone, and it hit her square between the eye that could have been her and Dana. This was not someone picking a bar fight. This was someone who had a deep hatred for homosexuals, and more specific a hatred for lesbians.
Alice was feeling guilty for not remember more, if she could make herself remember more, maybe that other woman would be alive now. But she just could not make herself remember, maybe she too stoned to remember, or maybe she just could not. All she knew was because she could not remember another person was died, and she felt it was partially her fault. She was a journalist, someone who suppose remember details, but when she really needed her journalistic instincts to kick in, she was useless.
Alice was also worried about the therapy she and Dana were about to undertake, she understood the need of the two of them doing this together. She understood that even though she was the one assaulted, it had affected Dana as much if not more then her, but still therapy with Dana scared her. She was never one to fully open up to anyone, even people she loved, but she knew for therapy to work she would have to, and she just didn’t know if Dana would like what she saw when this happened.

i really like where this story is going so far and can’t wait for you to post again. keep em comin.
I think I told you this before but let me do this here. The things I enjoyed most about this chapter:
– The touches of fluff and humor were great, it evens out the pain of the subject and true to life
– I’ve always thought you did a great job capturing not only Alice’s fear but the impact it has on Dana as well. The protective nature of Dana was perfectly expressed.
– The moment that Alice felt her fears set in at the beach was spot on and real.
– Last but not least, Dana thoughts about the treadmill was so true cause that’s exactly how I felt when I have to run indoors lol.
