Dana followed quickly behind and gently grasped Alice by her arm and turned her around to see her face. Dana reached out and lifted Alice’s chin so she could see her eyes and Alice could see hers.
“Alice, sweetie, you shouldn’t go rushing out right now. It’s 2 AM and you are obviously not feeling well. Your car isn’t even here. Just stay here tonight. Get a good rest and I will take you to your car tomorrow and you can head home. OK?”
Alice desperately wanted to do just what Dana said. She was so tired. But Jackie had a strong hold on her mind.
“I can’t. I have to get back. I’ll call a cab. I really need to go. You don’t understand.”
“Al? Honey? Let’s do this…” Dana spoke slowly and softly trying to get Alice to relax and hear what she was saying. “You can call Jackie and let her know you are staying at a hotel tonight.” Dana knew it would be an extremely bad idea for Jackie to think Alice was staying with her ex-girlfriend. Or any of her friends for that matter. “I’m sure she will understand that you need some space tonight — especially if she is as remorseful as you say she is.” Dana held her breath as she waited for Alice’s reply.
It came out as a whisper. “OK”. Dana went to Alice’s purse and pulled out the cell phone and handed it over. Alice took a breath and made the call with slightly shaking hands. Dana felt a momentary thrill to see that Jackie was just #2 on Alice’s quick dial. Dana wondered if she were still #1.
“Allie? Where are you? I woke up a few minutes ago and you weren’t here. I was so worried!”
“I’m sorry, Jackie. I just needed to get some air. I, uh…” Alice looked over at Dana and saw the love and support in her eyes. “I am going to stay at a hotel tonight. I’ll come back home in the morning.”
Dana thought: No way in hell will you return to that psycho.
There was a long pause before Jackie answered. “I’m sorry. You know I am. I don’t want to hurt you. I love you so much. You are the most important thing in my life. I can’t imagine my future without you.”
Alice felt her resolve start to crumble. Jackie had really done a number on her head. Then she felt the strong arms of Dana give her a gentle, supporting hug from behind. Alice leaned back into the safe haven of Dana’s arms.
“I know you do, but, I just need to be by myself tonight. Please tell me you understand?” Alice almost begged.
Dana was so mad — almost to the point she couldn’t see straight. But she had to hold it together for Alice. She just needed to worry about supporting Alice right now. God. It felt so good to have her back in her arms.
There was a long pause and then Jackie said “OK. I’ll see you in the morning. Tell you what? I will get up early and go to the bakery to get those horribly un-healthy croissants you love. Chocolate filled?” Alice could hear the smile in Jackie voice and gave a small one in return.
“That sounds great. Maybe a strawberry, too?” Has to be those mega-calorie croissants Alice loves, thought Dana.
“Anything for you, babe, you know that. I’ll see you in the morning. I love you very much. Sleep well.”
“You, too. Goodnight, Jackie.”
And “goodbye” thought Dana.
Alice hung up the phone and almost went limp in Dana’s arms. The athlete carefully maneuvered Alice back over to the bed and ever-so-gently tucked Alice in. Alice was asleep almost before the covers were pulled up. Dana sat by the bed for several minutes.
“I’ll fix this, Al. I swear to you that I will fix this.”

Actually I think that Dana should take to Jackie’s head with a 2 baseball bats. Great story even through the sadness
Well done. PPS
Have not changmy mind, but will violent only make more violents. Jackie needs a wake up call,but from the police. thanks Have a safe trip.
Poor alice, make sure dana uses an alumin softball bat! will do more damage, than a wood one!:)
Hell yeah!!! Dana to the rescue! Oh man i wonder what the others will think once Dana tells them whats going on. Loved the update, looking forward to the next.
Looking at all these baseball bats ready to go, even the aluminum. MaGoose, you got everyone all rowdy up. On a more serious note, when one relapses with battered wife syndrome, the only thing who could do is to confront her the reality of the abuse. More importantly is to show her that someone other than the abuser is there to support her all the way. The guilt that A had at the moment is not unusual. So far D had shown her maturity being calm and collected in handling this serious situation. Btw thank you for your concern in the sleep dept. It’s ok the weekend is here. I remember in this past early September when fripster and Akiracolorblind were posting really late at night and I would stay up till 4 or 5 to comment partly due to my slow reading & typing speed. So this is nothing as compare to then. I have thought about fripster every now and then and wondering if she is all right after the hurricane. Well, until next time, have a successful trip and good luck with the traveling part!
I can very easily see Jackie saying I love you, and Alicehuffing her breath like a bull, ripping her own shirt off, saying in a very angry voice ‘What the fuck does love have to do with THIS’, and showing her bruised back. And then her saying still in an angry yelling voice ‘HUH’. Alice has known real love in her life. So has Dana. And there were no bruises like this between any of them, ever. With them, there was only friendship, humor, lust, and love. The kind of things that no include loyalty, protection, compassion, and understanding. Get Alice the hell out of this. But get her angry. Otherwise this whole ordeal is just gonna haunt her long after Jackie’s either caught or busted open. Preferably both for Jackie.
AWW!! You gotta love Dana for protecting Alice the way she is. I’ll be glad when she gets a hold of Jackie and put a beat down on her. Well have a nice safe trip and post soon as you can.
Hello MaGoose, you have crafted a very emotional story, Dana is holding up so strongly, showing who she truly is. Everyone thought of her as a shy little girl, but when the kid gloves come off she is out to protect her own. Its going to take all the resolve of Alice’s family to bring her back, as I think more and more what she needs to pull her back is innocence the innocence of her little earth daughter. Nothing can cure the mind and heart like the smile of a child. You are amazing, Sincerely, JC
hhmm I’m no sure what o say, they already said everything. heheh This is real good Magoose, I hope that when D finally decides to use that aluminum bat that Jackie will rot.in.hell.forever :) lol
