“Well, what can I say, your daughter loves me more.”
Tina pushed Julia lightly, “Funny. Ok, where was I?”
“It felt good but it didn’t. Bette was open.”
“Right, thanks. Well, to make a long story short.”
“Why make it short? Tell me what happened.”
“Because I don’t want to give it that much power. So short version. I think what it comes down to was that I expected to come here, get the first meeting over with, but to have that feeling gone. That the last five years, I did get over it. And now, I know I still love her. Or at least a part of me will always love her, but I like my life now. I didn’t get the closure I expected. I don’t what to do with it all.”
Julia took a deep breath. This is why she left New York. This right here. She wanted so badly to be the friend that she knew that Chris needed, but at the same time, it hurt her so much to hear her talking about Bette. It wasn’t the pain so much that bothered her, it was her ability to be a true friend. To be able to give her the right advice, not the advice that would make Julia feel better. But if she thought about it, her advice would always be real, because more than anything, she wanted Chris happy and it wasn’t in her to give her skewed advice, she wasn’t that kind of person.
“If you ask me, you owe it to yourself to figure out what you want to do with it. You’ve loved this woman for a long time. You’ve stopped your personal life for the last five years because she had hurt you too much to move on.” She looked out at the water, unable to make eye contact with Chris, “You deserve to either get the closure you need or see if it’s possible to make it work with Bette.”
“I think that’s what I’m scared of, Jules. I like my life now. I mean of course I miss a partner, but I’ve gotten used to not having one. I don’t want to move backwards, I want to move forward.”
“You’ll only move backwards if you let yourself fall into old patterns and lose yourself in the process. I’ll tell you if start that. I couldn’t let her take over your personality. I like it too much. I’ll keep you in check.”

What?, Who? damn post soon! I have to say that I really like Julia, difficult situation for her. Thanks.
Way with the cliffhangers -lucia! Whatever Dana has done, I think I’m dreading it more than she is. You really write all these characters well; I even care about Tina in your story, which I don’t so much in the show, and Julia is a nice one too. Awesome that you manage to keep this and your other fic going at the same time, so different from each other but both so good.
holy crap! what’s wrong with Dane! I didn’t think it would be anything serious, sounds like it’s gunna be totally awesome. I hope she tell’s Shane. Yoda’s good with advice lol!!! Update soon!
Wow! Great chapter… can’t believe you stopped there. LOL. I love how you are developing Dana. She is my favorite and you are just making me love her more. So Dana has a “stalker”, I knew that she loves Alice to much to simply walk away b/c she’s scared of losing her friendship. But she would walk away if someone has been threatening to physically hurt Alice. Come on Yoda you can get her through this. :)
I am starting to really like Julia a lot, especially after she tells Tina “No, lie to me, please, yes, honestly.” LMAO.
So…how long will Julia have to suffer i slience? Tina could move back to L.A. to be with Julia. Bette could develop a relationship with Cara. All would be right with the world, almost.
man..u know u are on my favorite writers list right? this was a great chapter it was like i was watchin a soap oprea and a big even just happened finally some light on why dana is doing this….thanks for the great chapter lookin forward to anything that u post next cause u talented like that
Hmmm, I wonder which phsyco ex this is…lol
Just when I thought it can’t get any better, it just did! Like lights, Dana is my favorite and you write so beautifully. You got me so curious now about that mysterious letter, please don’t keep us hanging for too long.
Lucia…I’ve read this story from the start, and this is def one of my top 5 ever!!!! Your story telling is amazing, and I love the suspense with Dana. She is my absolute fav, and this is a great storyline for her. Please post soon
Dana what is going on with you…Tina needs to move on i feel really sorry for Julia, I hope Julia is able to tell Tina how she feels about her and Cara adores her…looking forward to the next post.
Thank you.
Can’t wait to see who it is and what the letter says…post soon!!!
OMG what a twist. i HATE cliffhangers. god post soon *****
like others, i wish Julia can solve her “problem” and she make it happen with Tina. i love them together :) Yoda’s help is needed but i think Alice could help Dana too – unless it’s the way lights said.. Alice in danger :/ please, continue soon. *mumbles* cliffhanger after cliffhanger..
