"Wow, I’m really proud of you. Can I ask…how the whole pill thing’s going?"
Alice took a deep breath, letting it out in a shaky sigh. She knew the question of her pill dependency would come up, but she hadn’t really talked about it with anyone other than Harriet. Even Jules refrained from questioning her about it, mostly in fear of pushing Alice too hard before she was ready. But the weaning process she had begun last week had thus far been working, and Alice was slowly starting to realize that she could be okay with herself without being on something meant to alter who that was.
"I’d like to say I’m completely done with that, but I don’t want to lie anymore. I know I have a problem, and I’m working to come to terms with that so I can get past it. Harriet suggested I switch medical doctors, which I have. And now the new doctor I’m seeing has started to wean me off of the other stuff. I think I’m gonna need to stay on the Prozac for now, but luckily, it doesn’t really elicit the same level of addiction as the Valium or Vicadin does."
"So, things are good than?"
"Getting there…"
"That’s really great, Al. You don’t know how happy I am to hear it. But um, what made you finally decide to go?"
"Well, Jules works with Harriet and thought it would be a good idea if I went and talked to her about some of the stuff I needed to work out in my head…I guess she was right."
Dana was thrilled Alice had stopped denying that she had an addiction, and truly grateful that she was talking to a therapist about what she was feeling. However, she couldn’t help the growing jealousy bubbling inside of her when she recognized that, despite all the efforts Dana herself had made in trying to convince Alice to seek professional help, Jules was the one that actually got her to go.
"Wait, I thought Jules was a singer. She’s a therapist too?" Dana suspiciously inquired.
"Oh no, she just moonlights as a singer, by day she’s a social worker actually. She mostly works in underprivileged high schools and low-income communities in the L.A. area."

Hey Thank you great update. Gotta love that Danish. PPS.
I’m sorry, I can’t help it! I want danish together and if that means tainting Jules so you can no longer write him into this then yay! :P My plan is working mwahaha. As for that needy comment, uh em, no you don’t *shifts eyes nervously from side to side* I’m perfectly fine without an update from you. Do you buy that? This is Bradshaw saying you posted an awesome chapter once again and I’m mega jealous of your talent, over and out xx
Another great update! It was awesome, before, but I liked the additions too. Unlike your other readers I’m not quite ready for them to get back together. I don’t want Dana to suffer, but she has to be completely sure before she even gives a hint that she’s still interested in Alice. I’m sure Shane will figure it out – if she hasn’t already. :-) It’s so funny that De_Leish_ous is still calling Jules “him”. rofl I can’t wait for your next update.Yes, I got a little kick out of calling you busy. You left before noon? It’s official, I’m jealous. lol You’re right – Go Chargers! (But I sorta like the Ravens too.) Down with the Pats! lolThanks again for the update and the preview.
Aww, poor Dana. Sometimes I wish she’d quit with all the being scared and hiding her feelings crap, but this time she’s doing it for Alice’s sake, and I can’t help hurting for her a little bit. That’s such a tough situation to be in, and her guilt’s understandable, which somehow makes it even more sad. There was a lot of groundwork for a Danish romantic reconciliation in this update, and everything made complete sense in the context of both the storyline and the characters’ personalities. So yay. Oh, and as to the livejournal thing…I had a sneaking suspicion it was you just by the writing style, but I didn’t want to say that in case I was wrong because I’d look either insane or idiotic. But yay, I was right! Okay, I’ll stop babbling your life away now…love this story more every time you post!
It’s good that they have their friendship back on track. I can’t wait for Dana to tell Alice how she really feels though
Are you serious? How can a non-argument between these two be dissapointing? This chapter was more I than I exepcted! So will we have a slighlty drunk Alice (and Dana) in the next chapter. :)
so cute. what the heck is dana gonna do? i really liked the line “Dana’s heart seemed to pound in her chest, making sure she knew it was still beating just for Alice. ” how poetic! post soon.
Great update just wish it was 20 pages longer. My heart is breaking for Dana a little bit, poor thing. Granted she did it to herself. Love the intensity you are building and can’t wait to see what happens.
YAY … I finally caught up after not reading any fanfic in about 2 weeks. I absolutely can’t wait for your next update!
Awesome story.Nice to see them talking. hope it stays that way.Please post more soon.
