Alice was also surprised. Jackie had a black eye and some angry looking red scratches on her neck.
“Hi, Alice. I wasn’t expecting to see you.” Jackie said quietly.
“Jackie.” Alice said quietly in greeting. She took a seat in the chair across the table. She was a bit surprised to not see Jackie give one of her “charming” smiles she just looked briefly at Alice and then lowered her eyes.
“I needed to tell you something…” Alice took a deep breath. “You don’t control me anymore.”
Jackie just nodded and kept her eyes downcast.
“I don’t think you understand. You’ll never have power over me again.”
“I understand. Trust me when I say I understand. I don’t want to bother you ever again.” Jackie finally raised her eyes to meet Alice’s.
“When I looked in her eyes, I saw the same look I had in my eyes after she would…after she would hurt me. They were dull and lifeless. Apparently, even though Jackie was charged with assault and violating the order for protection, it got out in the jail that she is a domestic abuser and a…and a rapist. She is being brutalized in there. I know that she would be completely destroyed if she had to spend extended time behind bars.” Alice took another deep breath and exhaled shakily. “I know what she did was horrible. I know in a way you never could. But, Dane, I can’t put someone else through that. I don’t think I could live with myself knowing that I did.”
Alice was looking down at her hands which were twisting together. She couldn’t look at Dana. She didn’t want to see her disappointment or disgust at her weakness.
“She will be on parole after she gets out. She is going to be monitored closely and will end up in prison with the maximum sentence if she violates parole at all.” Alice was starting to feel exhausted. She just wanted to get through this so Dana could leave and she could just sleep for days.
“I also talked to Joyce Wischnia. She is going to be involved in the agreement to make sure I’m protected legally as much as possible.” Alice fell silent. “So I guess that’s it. Thanks for listening.” Alice shrugged her shoulders and turned away from Dana. She was amazed to feel Dana’s strong arms wrap around her and pull her into a tight hug. Alice responded by curling into Dana as closely as she could.
“God, baby, I am so sorry.” She felt Alice’s breath hitch and then her crying start again. “I’m here baby. I’m so sorry.” She rubbed Alice’s back gently. She could only imagine the stress that Alice had been under as a result of all this.
“I understand, honey, and I should have stuck around to listen to you earlier. I am so sorry. It’s your choice, Al, these horrible things happened to you. If this is what you want, I will support you completely.”
“Just hold me now, Dane. OK? I just need you to hold me. I thought I lost you…” Dana repositioned them so they could lay down on the bed and gathered Alice in her arms.
I had been over two hours since Dana and Shane had arrived. The three women holding vigil in the living room were fairly well toasted and wanted to know what was happening. They moved quietly to the spare bedroom and listened at the door. They didn’t hear anything so they carefully opened it. Dana and Alice were both curled up under the covers. It was hard to tell where one ended and the other began.
Shane said softly “So fucking cute.”

Oh my goodness! That was exhausting for me, so i cant even imagine how it felt for Alice and Dana. Dana is so hot headed sometimes, i love her though…and Alice! Maybe one day our beloved Danish will learn to communicate but if they dont..well that’s fine too! You are doing such a wonderful job and i look forward to each and every post. Keep it Up because we all love you for it! THANK YOU!
so fuckin cute indeed. love it magoose, cant wait for more!
Hi MaGoose, great update again. I’m glad Dana went back to talk to Alice. (And that Jackie is getting the punishment she deserves in jail… I know.. I’m bad hehehe.)By the way the daisy comment reminded me a bit of “You’ve Got Mail” ;) Loved it, PPS??
Double WOW, so proud that alice as able to confront jackie.. that was very important step to take!! understand dana’s reaction… great update :)
Yessss, boy was i glad wen i saw and update for ur story lol. And wat a fantastic chapter!! Again u portrayed them perfectly. I can so see why Dana reacted like tht as well anyone tht cares for someone deeply probably would have done the same. Alice is so brave to have done that a completely the better person to do tht for Jackie. Also loved the comment about the Daises, simples things can always have a stronger impact and tht was so sweet tht she remembers things like tht :) Cant wait to see wat happens next pure genius lol x x
that was great and I can’t wait to see what will happen next pps I love it great update
wonderful – that’s all I can say
great great great!!!!! It takes a big person to do what Alice did..there’s a line from my other fav show…you don’t forgive someone because they deserve it but because they need it.
I’ll have you know that the only reason I haven’t written the biopsy results yet is because I don’t know what they are! Lol. I love this chapter, not that that’s saying much since I always do. I’m glad Alice managed to face one of her demons on her own. It’s a little sad knowing that Jackie’s in such a bad place, which I know makes no sense. Still, I hate seeing anyone suffer. I’m glad Dana finally realized she was being a jerk. Hopefully the two of them can keep growing. Thanks!
Hello MaGoose, that was just so very powerful… pfftt my comments cannot compare to the emotional journey that your writing is filled with. I can totally understand Dana’s reaction… it is so very human and so very much the love she holds for Alice that causes her to react in such a volatile fashion. Alice’s decision just shows you how much humanity she has… even after everything she cannot bare to have that kind of emotional devastation on her hands. The result far outweigh the potential bumps… this is freaking amazing… keep up the amazing job here… you are brilliant my friend… I’m loving this completely. Sincerely, JC
ok so I got shamefully behind on my reading…sorry! These last few chapters were fantastic. I particularly liked this last one. The fact that Dana messed up a little makes her human. The fact that she’s able to realise she was in the wrong and go back and try and fix it gives me hope that these two might actually be evolving enough in your story to have a good relationship some day…soon maybe?!!
Soooo…I get that Alice needed to confront Jackie on her own, but do you think our girls will ever learn to talk to each other BEFORE the inevitable misunderstanding? Well, if they did, they wouldn’t be our Danish, would they? It was good to see the family step in for them both this time…and to see them get it right themselves, eventually. Looking forward to the next step in their road to recovery and redemption. PPS!
WOOT. I so love you even more now. A nice long good update with crying sadness happiness. I love it. It makes me happy. Okay okay i know i have been lazy lately I am off tomorrow so tonight is going to be writeathon
