Drowning 22 (part 2)
“What do you have there, T?”
“A couple of bottles of wine. We are going to the beach, we’re going to walk and talk and drink.” Tina looked over at her friend and saw the hesitation, “You don’t have to tell me about the letter, ok? I’m worried about you. I love you. I want to be your friend. OK?”
Dana put her hand on Tina’s, a smile growing across her face, “Thank you, T.”
Dana pulled a sheet out of her trunk. It was one of the things she used to argue with Alice about. Alice believed that there were ‘staple’ items that should always be in a car, just in case. Sheets, change of clothes, toothbrush, blanket, sweatshirt, Dixie cups, rope, cork *****, flashlight, duct tape, a gallon of bottled water and instant coffee. Dana thought it was great to have these things if there ever was an emergency, but it took up half the trunk and you could hear the flashlight and coffee banging when you turned the corner. Every night she would take the items out of the trunk and by the time she went to the club in the morning, they were back. After arguing about it for weeks when they got this car, Dana, finally gave up. Alice simply said, “One day you’ll thank me.” Dana smiled at the memory.
They walked over to an alcove and set up.
Tina opened the wine and handed a glass to Dana. “Thanks, Tina.”
“Dane, are you really ok?”
“As good as I can be right now. It hasn’t been an easy few weeks.”
“I know you said it was time, but is that really the reason you ended it? I’ve known people who ended their relationships because love wasn’t enough and it truly wasn’t. There were so many issues that their love wasn’t strong enough to fight. But Dane, you and Alice don’t have problems like that. I just don’t understand.”
“I know you don’t. I love her Tina. I really do, more than I ever thought possible. But I had to do this. Don’t you think if I thought I could keep her, keep loving her and keep having her love me, I would?”
“Yeah, but Dana, you haven’t said one thing to me or Shane or anyone that I know of that helps us to understand why. It’s the why that we don’t get.” Tina turned to face Dana and grabbed both of hands in her own, “Dana, I know you would never hurt Alice. You would do anything to spare her pain. And the one thing you haven’t been able to explain is why you’re hurting her. Please help me understand.”

NOOOOO please don’t make us wait. I for the life of me can’t figure this out. What could have Dana so scared she would give everything. Now all I’m going to do is obsess even more about this story, so hurry up so I can have a life.
Maybe when Alice wakes up Dana will tell her? (hint, hint) :)
Call the police, Dana! Call the FBI!!!!
Do you think she can hear me through this internet connection????
Alice was a soothsayer tonight, thanks to Jack!
I loved it, as usual, but look at the state you have us all in now! You have to post again soon; we can’t stand the suspense. (And, Dana, since Alice is right there on the couch: tell her!)
I forgot and Jo Dee Messina “Love is Not Enough”, that is the ultimate heartbreak song. Beautiful and each time I hear it, I thanked god, I’m not in the middle of a breakup.
I was waiting for you lol! Alice’s collection of songs had me cracking up, btw I love the Carpenters. Tina and Dana was touching and sweet. I missed this group of friends where everyone came together and helped out. You really aren’t gonna make this easy for us, aren’t you? What is going on with Dana? The suspense is killing me!
EEEH! Fix it!! Pweese? I luv it! Update soon, that was greeeeeat!
Ok, I’m coming out of lurkdom to say how much I love this story but it’s driving me crazy. (In a good way) Just when I think Dana’s going to cave in and spill the beans with what’s really going on…she fools me once again! Can’t wait for the next chapter.
“She was so torn.” Oh poor Dana!
it’s a great story. however, I don’t understand why Dana didn’t even think about calling police?
Ok, you have me thinking and thinking about all the possibilities for Dana’s behavior, please let us know! lol. Thanks for post soon.
i luv this fan fic!! This is such a great storyline!!! please write soon! the suspense is killing me! they gotta get back together! and tinas gotta stay!
Dana has to go to the police, or at least talk to Alice.
Alice hit the nail on the head with Bette, Bette has to decide what she wants, its not fair on Robin.
Thank you.
