“OK!” She gave herself a pep talk. “Time to get moving…”
She once again got to her feet and made her way back to the guest bedroom. She moved slightly faster than she had on the way to the shower. The warm water and pills had helped take the edge off the pain.
She got to the guest bedroom and gradually got dressed. She had just gotten the sweatshirt over her head when she heard a quiet knocking the door. She gave a quick start and then heard a voice.
“Alice? It’s me. Dana.” Alice had to smile. Dana could be such a goof sometimes. Like Alice wouldn’t recognize that voice. Alice made sure she was covered up and then called out an acknowledgement to Dana.
Dana stuck her head around the door and asked if she could come in.
Alice gave a little grin and said “Of course. It’s your house.” Dana gave a slight smile and came into the room. Alice sat on the edge of the bed once again with a sigh and Dana sat next to her.
Dana could look back in her life and find only a couple conversations that seemed pivotal. Telling “Ralph” she loved her was one. Coming out to her parents was another. The break-up with Alice was certainly one. As important as those were, she didn’t think there could be another one as important as she was going to have now.
Dana moved her hand over to cover Alice’s. She gently asked “How are you feeling this morning?”
“Really good.” Alice said. “Thanks for asking. And thanks for the water and pills.”
Dana just waved her hand to indicate it was nothing.
“What are your plans today, Alice?” Dana asked casually.
“Well. I need to get my car and stop by the apartment to get some clothes. Then I really need to talk to Jackie. She is probably worried that she hasn’t heard from me yet. Actually… Where did I put my phone? I need to call her.”
Dana was depressed by this statement, but, not surprised. She didn’t think it would be easy.
“Alice?” Dana waited until Alice looked at her. “You do not need to go back to her. You never need to see her again.”
“You don’t understand, Dana. She’s my girlfriend and it was just an argument. Heaven knows you and I had our share. I have to at least go talk to her.”
“No, Alice, you really don’t.” Dana felt the situation spinning out of control and tried to figure out a way to reign it back in. This time Dana cupped Alice’s chin to get the writer to look at her. “I know she hurt you.”
Dana was not prepared for the shock, fear, anger and guilt that flashed across Alice’s face.
“No! How could you say that?” But she would not look Dana in the eye.
“Honey. I saw your back. I know that wasn’t an accident. And when we talked last night, you said she didn’t mean to do it.”
Alice blushed. “It’s none of your business! I’m none of your business!” Alice sighed when she saw Dana recoil at these statements. “Dana. I cannot thank you enough for taking care of me last night. I needed a friend and you were there for me. But I am not your problem anymore.”
“Shit, Alice, you were never a problem!”
“What about the stalking, Dane? No problem?” Alice asked slyly.
Dana saw that Alice was just trying to change the direction of the conversation. “I’m not going to lie and say I liked it, but, I did eventually understand where it was coming from. I even realized that I might actually do the same thing had our situations been reversed.”
Alice couldn’t handle this right now.
“Dane? Thank you. Really.” She gave her a kiss on the cheek. “But I have to go.”
Alice got up. It was faster than she should have and she felt the pain, but, she did not want to show Dana any more weakness. She waited a minute to make sure she wouldn’t pass out before slowly leaving the bedroom.
Dana followed her as she headed towards the living room.
Alice didn’t know it, but, there was no way her friends were going to let her leave the condo if there was any chance of her going back to Jackie.

Dana+her boxing training=DEAD BITCH. Jackie should pick on someone her own size. Poor poor AL. WOOT PROTECTIVE D. I love the idea. Great job Magoose. My internet is still on the fritz. I’m at work right now.
Another great chapter. I love that Dana is in such a good place that she is not rising to any of the bait Alice is throwing her way to try and put her off. I am feeling safe in the knowledge that you have the gang downstairs waiting and you will protect Al. Can’t wait to read the intervention. Thanks for posting!
No, no – she cannot leave – the gang have to persuade her it is in her interest to leave that horrible, abusive woman. Well done on keeping us gripped. More soon please.
I definitely would’ve done it the same way. If a friend of mine was in this situation, I’d be more prepared than a squad of Boy Scouts with OCD. You really did good with Alice’s behavior. She just got hurt over a simple talk with her ex, Dana, and now she’s jumping to make sure that her abuser doesn’t get mad again. You really did give Jackie a good hold on her. I’m with mariam on this: Give Alice her freedom for this Christmas. More than that, give her the love that still exists with Dana. Bring their love back to life.
Love the caring Dana!!!! Please dont let her leave,she is safe with Dana and her friends! Thanks again for the great update! PPS
Lets get the whole gang going,Alice was good at the intervention,lets see if she likes the receiving end of one. First the Dr. them the police. Get Jackie in jail before the gang,gives her a real old fashion woodshed whoppin. thanks
amazing chap, really want to beat J down now after the first page. The gangs going to need to handle the intervention delicately since Al is in a very fragile place right now….Great job!!!!
Hoooooo no, I am not first lol. Never mind. PPS
First?????? That is a premiere lol. Ok, MaGoose, please it is Christmas, don’t let one of our girl’s abused like that. come on give me her freedom as a christmas present I am waiting lol
Oh yay first. Intervention. ASAP. there’s no way she should leave that house and get back with Jackie. This is really good Magoose. I like protective Dana. I like her goofiness and everything. Thanks for this chapter, looking forward to more :)
Interventnion time bring it on, great cahpter!! :)
=0 INTERVENTION!! YAY! Of course I still like your story, its totally original and greatly written. Poor Alice all the things that Dana has done for her to keep her safe =) thanks for the update! PPS!
Awww don’t let her leave!! You can’t let Alice get hurt more than she’s already been. Please let her let her friends help her? And no I didn’t mistype that, lol. I’m in love with a fictional character, how sad is that? Please let her come to her senses, and let the others help her! I’m addicted to this story, it’s awesome, and so are you for writing it. I’m sure it has to be tough; there aren’t many stories that deal with abuse on this site. Big hugs for doing this, I think it’s definitely a scenario everyone needs to see. You rule my dear.
MaGoose, Great Chapter and teriffic story! Your description of the abuse and chacters reactions are perfect! I love protective Dana and I hope the intervention works. But I’ve studied DV enough to know the 1st invervention may have an impact but is likely to not be successful. The emotional abuse sadly is generally much worse than the physical abuse and is why the person repeatedly returns to the abuser. Regardless of how the interventions goes I just hope eventually Alice is free from Jackie and happy and not freed tragically. PPS! :D
I have my baseball bat all ready, Geeze there is no way that Alice should go near that woman . I have no problem with anyone you want to write giving that Jackie some serious bitch slaps. Great story and so well done , its also so sad but I love to see when true friends rally around. PPS
