Drowning 36
“Al, let them handle it.”
“What? Let who handle what? There’s a hell of a lot of commotion coming from my room.” She answered, trying to get around Shane.
“That’s hotel security. And I think that woman struggling like hell to get away from them is your little problem, so let them handle it.”
And Alice did just that. They stood by watching as hotel security did indeed handle it. It seemed quite anti-climactic to them all. In minutes all of the craziness has just disappeared in handcuffs. They did need to do to the local DC police station to issue a statement. They were going to need to do the same in when they got back to LA. Luckily, they did file a report when the house was broken into, so there were charges that could stick in LA as well as DC. But essentially the craziness was over.
Alice opted out of dinner with Dana and Shane, feigning exhaustion. In all reality, she just needed some alone time, time to think through all that has happened and all that’s been said. Though she was grateful for feeling safe and knowing that Dana would be safe, she wasn’t exactly happy. Somehow the adrenalin of the last few weeks had drowned out the sadness of the breakup and the anger she still feels for the Dana’s betrayal. She just wanted some time to think about it all and figure out her next step.

Tina had wrapped up her packing earlier than she has planned. She had found someone to sub-let her apartment and she was out of excuses delaying her return to LA. That was until she realized that with all that was going on, Alice might be up for some company in DC. That little detour would give her at least another day before heading to the unknown life waiting for her in LA. Though she missed Cara a great deal, she knew that between Bette and Julia, Cara would be well taken care of. Tine on the other hand, could use some time.

The next morning, despite protests from Shane and Dana, Alice stayed behind in DC when they headed off to the airport. Both Shane and Dana wanted Alice to come with them and if that wouldn’t happen, then they wanted to stay in DC, but Alice wouldn’t hear of it. It was easier to convince Shane than Dana. Shane understood Alice’s need for space right now. She was just hoping that the time alone would help her to forgive Dana. She also agreed to go with Dana, since Alice knew that Dana would need the support, especially with Alice staying in DC.
Dana wasn’t as easy. She had an answer to all of Alice’s reason until Alice simply stated that she needed time to think about their relationship, that she wasn’t sure what to do next. For that, Dana had no answer. Though she had told Alice the truth when she explained her actions and though Alice seemed to understand, she knew the blonde well enough to know that it wasn’t over yet and Alice was going to have more to say about it. With all of the guilt that Dana was still feeling, she has no choice but to relent and leave Alice in DC to finish her assignment. As Shane and Dana were about to leave the hotel, they ran into Tina walking into the lobby.
Tina’s simple question of “What are you guys doing here?” turned into a thirty minute conversation explaining all that had happened in the last 24 hours and Tina promising Dana that she would take care of Alice for her.

I do! I do! Gold star to me! Great update. Worth the wait. ;-D Love Shane’s description of the framily. So accurate. Glad the stalker was caught — I hope that is the end of her. I understand Alice needing time, but, I hope she and Dana talk soon. Thanks so much for continuing this, lucia!!
Hooray! I can’t believe my eyes when I saw the post. A big THANK YOU to you and Capesquad. I thought I would never have the opportunity to tell you that I love Cara and that Julia was a great character added. I read the story at least 3 times always thinking that I might have missed some clues to why D was so apprehensive telling A the truth to begin with. They would have avoided all the unnecessary tears and heartaches. Then again we would not have this fantastic story. I believe this has to be one of the best crazy fan story. I second what MaGoose said. Furthermore, I think the separation is called for. D must do some soul searching. What if there was another temptation and another crazy fan. I am sure Yoda would be there for her in A’s absence. Conveniently, T would be there to talk things over with A. Perfect scenerio. Thank you again Lucia. You have no idea how happy I am right now.
You just made my week. I love this story, so glad you’re continuing with it!
lucia – of course i remember this. when this first came out i was obsessed. i printed out the first chapters and would read them over and over again. i was obsessed. i had given up hope, but i am so glad you are continuing. this was a great chapter i am excited to see what lies ahead. i don’t mind how you wrapped up the stalker, to me this was always more of a love story that a mystery. can’t wait for more and thank you so much.
Cid!! so obviously i was happy to see you posted an update. (did you feel YOU had a stalker?) i found this way too late last night (this morning) and read it anyway- couldn’t help myself. Loved it then, loved it better sober! : )i liked how you handled the ‘disposal’ of the stalker- she’s always been outside the picture- try asshe might- she doesn’t even get the satisfaction of a dramatic confrontation. Alice needs to think about Dana without having to worry about her at the same time clouding the issues. I look forwardto hearing both her AND Tina vent… i look forward to all of it! Thank you for this.
i remember!!!! nice to see you back this is a great story and im glad your continuing with it. :) pps
i’ll admit, i was at first enticed by the gold star prize *grin* just kidding, i’ve been in and out of your stories, so this might be my first comment. this was really good…i love dalice/alna and so on in your take on things. workin’ through the insecurities and all. and friendships saving the day, great:) pps
i remember this story and I have missed it so much could’nt believe my eyes when I see the post but this was great as always and I can’t wait for the next post please be soon I love it
