Bitter Endings, Sweet Beginnings: Part Six
At the same time, Dana couldn’t stop herself from becoming jealous of
Helena. She could see so very clearly how the British woman was
replacing her as the person Alice felt closest to and most comfortable
with. And Dana wondered if Helena would travel the same road with Alice
that she did, becoming first her friend then her lover. Dana knew it
was selfish and cruel to wish for that not to happen because Dana could
see how good Helena was for Alice and how much it would help the writer
to move on with the British woman. But Dana didn’t want that in her
heart of hearts. She didn’t want Alice to move on when she couldn’t
seem to do the same.
She knew it was wrong, she knew they were bad for each other
romantically, she knew it would end in heartbreak if they were to be
together again but god…
How Dana wanted it.
Wanted it with everything she was, wanted Alice so badly she could
taste, hear, and physically feel it. Lara could feel it too and that’s why Dana
was sure the chef would be breaking up with her. Dana
hated hurting Lara as she hurt Alice but it wasn’t something she could
control. She couldn’t just flip a switch in her heart and stop herself
from loving Alice and start loving Lara. Emotions didn’t
work like that.
Though it would be wonderful if you could do such a thing. It was all
Dana wished for sometimes, to be able to stop loving Alice. To stop
missing her mischievous smile, twinkling eyes, and voice often filled
with naughty innuendo. But she couldn’t stop it and that left her in
the same unhappy predicament she had been in for months.
Being in love with a woman but being bad enough for her that she
couldn’t, in good conscious, truly love her and try to be with her
romantically when she knew she would only hurt her in the end. And that
was more than Dana could bear. It was bad, no, it was utterly wretched
and miserable to be without Alice but at least Dana knew she was happy.
While it killed her to know she wasn’t the one who could do that
anymore. That she wasn’t the one who could make Alice happy.
Dwelling in these thoughts, Dana almost missed seeing Alice’s mini pull
into the parking lot of her apartment building. The blonde exited the
car, smiling and laughing, folding her arms on the roof of the mini and
resting her chin on top of them as she talked to Helena who wore a
matching smile as she playfully wagged her index finger at Alice in
warning. Alice shook her head and walked to the trunk of the mini and
pulled out two bags of groceries, holding them out to Helena for her to
take. The British woman looked from the bags to Alice with a droll look
on her features. After a few moments of Alice expressively pleading her
case, Helena took hold of the grocery bags. As soon as she did, the
writer leaned in to grab a miniscule bag that had to hold just one
insignificant item inside of it.

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…;)
