Beaten, Working Toward Recovery Chapter 7
DANA’S CONDOMINIUM
When Dana finally got home, she was carrying two bags of groceries as she headed toward the kitchen, she was determined to fix a decent meal. She hadn’t cooked since before the assault and her body was craving a nice healthy meal. Alice had her nose in her computer, reading different sites about attitudes about homosexuals from all over the world, some of which she found quite shocking, when Dana walked in.
After putting the bags on the counter Dana walked over to see what had piped Alice’s interest. After reading a few paragraphs over Alice’s shoulder, Dana squeezed Alice’s shoulder before walking to the counter to start dinner. “Al, why do you want to read that stuff. You are not having enough problems sleeping, why add more nightmares?”
Alice turned off her computer so she could help Dana and talk to her about the project she was thinking about taking on. “Dana, my editor and I talked today. Dana I’m thinking about doing an article about attitudes toward homosexuals. I’m not sure yet if I want to write this from the point of view of a person who has experienced the hatred. Or if I want to do this article about what is still happening all over the world, kind of like an unspoken secret. But I won’t do it at all if you don’t want me to.”
Dana continued to pull items out of her bag thinking ‘so much for a relaxed evening’. “Al, write what ever you want, I just don’t know if this is the right time for you to be diving into this subject matter. You can hardly accept what happen. Now you want to spend all your time reading and writing about something that has turned you life upside down. I don’t know if you can handle it.”
Alice stilled Dana hands, “Dana look at me, at first I thought this was a very bad idea, that my editor was exploiting me. But the more I thought about it I realized this is what I need. If I force myself to read and write about this subject, it also help me to accept what happened. Plus it give me a voice to do something about it. Don’t you understand, through my writings I won’t feel as helpless, and maybe I can help someone, or at least educate a few people.”

I really like the way you are treating this story. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
Good job, Deb. You’ve articulated Alice’s struggle so well, I feel for her and Dana too of course. Can’t wait to see what happens when Alice do move out.
argh – when are they gonna realize they like each other as more than friends. great job deb!
This feels like the Alice I remember from the first season, and parts of the second season. As for Dana, I wonder if she has started to realize how she feels about Alice yet. Their friends recognize the love, but I see both women using the attack to account for their increased awareness of each other. This has been an amazing night – updates by you, dreiser AND layla_gray. You folks are all awesome.
