Beaten, Working Toward Recovery Chapter 9 (Final chapter)
Dana knew Alice was still working toward her recovery, where the two of them were going less and less to see Jacq, Alice was still seeing her on a regular basis. Dana could tell it was doing a lot of good, they really had moved on.
Though the assault will always be in the back of their minds, Alice was learning to live again and have fun. And Dana for her part had moved back into the best friends mode instead of the caretaker role.
She couldn’t help but smile watching Alice typing away, she was so engrossed in whatever she was typing she hadn’t even noticed that Dana had walked in. Dana gently placed her hand on Alice’s shoulder so she wouldn’t startle her as she spoke. “Hi Al, what are you working on?” Alice proceeded to tell her about her next article Top 10 Psychics in L.A. They both started laughing at the silliness of the article and how would one know the answer to that unless a psychic told you.
Kit stood behind the bar and watched the two interact. She couldn’t help but feel very maternal about these two ladies. They weren’t much older then her own son and she was deeply trouble by what happened to them. She was glad to see them acting like themselves again. Laughing and making fun of each other, at one time she feared she would never see that side of Alice again.
Though Dana bounced back fairly quickly it took a little longer with Alice. It was hard for her and the other ladies to watch Alice go through her different stages in recovery. At first it was like she dropped off the face of the earth. Then she went through a stage when she would only go out if someone was with her. After getting through that stage, Alice went through a very withdrawn and quiet stage. This was the stage that she stayed the longest at and the one that worried Kit the most.
But watching them now she couldn’t help but smile at the natural camaraderie the two shared. Alice and Dana were back.
After wiping the tears from their eyes Alice closed her laptop so she could give her full attention to Dana. “Dana I don’t know if you realized this but this was my first trip out after dark by myself. I didn’t even think about it, I just did it.”
