Bitter Endings, Sweet Beginnings: Part Six
That and Dana honestly longed to see Alice and though she knew it was
impossible, she wanted desperately to be with her again. She was still
in love with Alice and she doubted very much that would change anytime
soon. In fact, she was positive Lara was going to break up with her because of it.
And she hated that. She hated that she was in love with Alice but she
couldn’t be with her because, ultimately, she also knew she was bad for
her. On watching her these past weeks and seeing her so happy and
confident, Dana knew she made the right choice. No matter how much it
was slowly killing her. God, it hurt so much to see Alice and not talk
to her.
Never did Dana think it would be like this. Somehow in her head, even
if they broke up she thought their friendship would remain. That they
could salvage it because it was the foundation on which their romance
was built. But it was gone just like their love and Dana wasn’t sure
how much longer she could even function without Alice in her life in
some capacity.
But at least Jenny was right. Dana could see that Alice was doing
better and part of that had to do with the skinny brunette’s
friendship. And the other part? That was owed to someone Dana never
thought she would be thanking.
Helena Peabody.
When Dana first saw her with Alice she couldn’t help being baffled at
the sight. Even though she knew through Jenny the two women were
friends she still found it strange to see them together. Partially
because while Dana would admit easily she didn’t know Helena in the
slightest sense of the word, she had a certain impression of who she
was. And how she saw Helena behave with Alice didn’t fit into that
image she had at all.
Instead of reserved and cold, she was open and warm, constantly
affectionate with her children, lifting them up, kissing their cheeks,
ruffling their hair and hugging them tight. Once Dana was delighted to
see Helena arrive home from work, kick off her high heels and join her
children and Alice in playing a game of soccer without bothering to
change out of her expensive tailored suit. So while Dana never expected
that she would want to thank Helena Peabody someday she now desperately
did. Because Alice was happy when she spent time with Helena and it had
been such a very long time since Dana had seen her that way.

Great job on the portrayal of Veronica..I could soo see and hear her…it was kinda eerie..lol, but none the less great. You and sulkygeek have some kind of helacious conspiracy…you write them soo well and it just makes me like them a little more every time. Like how you put Dana into play, checking up on Alice and it’s obvious she still loves her. Ohh…i’m soo torn…the danish or helacious in this story is soo hard to choose
This was my favourite chapter of this story so far – perhaps because we got close to Helacious. But it might also have been that I can’t think of much better than going to an Augusten Burroughs reading at Book Soup with Gabby!
Wow i love this chapter, and the story overall so far, hope you post soon!!!
Dreiser – choppin broccoli!! I’m telling you I sat in history class my junior yr of high school the monday morning after that episode of sat night live singing it with my friends!!! God im old.
Veronica was so dead on, i could actually actually cameron manheims voice.
alice and helena? unbelievable cuteness. “Thank you for being what everyone else is not.” I actaully swooned!!!
great update – loved it. it was so good, i couldnt come up with a philosophical reference good enough!
OMG..’Im Luvin it’ I JUS..I LUV YOU 4 WRITING THIS STRY..the way u write – 2 cute..I like that you wrote Dana out 2 b a stocker as Alice had once been an obsessive stocker of Dana&Lara fiasco..GREAT chapter..Alice&Helena’z relationship seemz 2 be progressing niceli – closer&closer 2gether..’Young Luv’..I always look forward 2 reading your wrk..thnx 4 writing, dun stop..PLEASE mst Post so0N..
*melts* Full credit to your writing abilities!!!! I love the cuteness and dorkiness of Alice and Helena. It’s beautiful
Dana is by no means a stalker in this story. She’s simply still in love with Alice and wants to make sure she’s happy.
I have to say that the danish fan in me it’s hurt when I read the Dana’s part but you made unbelievable loving the helacious part too, so I can’t stop reading your work. Thanks. oh and I love Veronica too :P
I like Helene in this, Alice bring out the true person. she and Helene are very dorlie and very loveablem also. Wish she could show this side to others. thanks for a remarlablr chspter.
Oh dreiser, thank you for this latest chapter. The choppin’ broccoli song in the supermarket had me laughing my ass off. I love how close they continue to get and just hate knowing that it will be at least another two weeks before you pick up where you left off with your evilly planned ‘to be continued’. Your such a tease!
Though i am not a big shane or carmen fan, they were both very cute as you said they would be (i think i can handle things like that in small doses). But the best bit about that whole scene was Gabby fucking Deveaux! I can’t express how much i love Gabby. She’s a complete bitch, she’s got a wicked/sarcastic sense of humor, she’s fiercly intelligent, she uses words to cut people down in just nano-seconds… and she does it all with her ‘whatev’ blase attitude. Call me sick, but there’s just something about all that that makes her so damn hot. And its just so adorable that little ol’jenny gets her all embarrassed with her smiling pixie ways. I do hope that you intend to have more Gabby/Jenny flirting going on.
I like dana more in your story than in sulky’s… which is not to say that i think one of you is a better writer than the other, i enjoy you equally ;). But as i was saying, i do like dana better in this because she isn’t all stalkerish and super clingy… and she acknowleges helena being good for alice, and even sees that she is not what one would automatically assume she is.
Those are my comments for now, love your work.
woot that was really good… Hope you’ll come around and write some more of that…;)
