"What the hell does that mean?" Dana whirled around, too heated to remember how dizzy she was, and looked blankly back at Alice.
"It means I want the truth Dana. God, for once, can’t you just tell me how you feel! Why is that so fucking difficult? For months you made it so hard to communicate, so impossible to figure you out. You just go on pretending everything is fine. Why can’t you just tell me what you want from me? What are you so afraid of? I don’t get it, I just don’t get it." Alice went from angry to hysterical all within 30 seconds. She was so worked up, so angry and hurt and frustrated that she couldn’t think of anything else to do but cry.
Dana, afraid to even approach her at this point, just stood there and watched her weeping with her head in her hands. And as she watched the woman she loved, so visibly shaken and practically tortured from the conversation at hand, she was sure her heart was breaking just a little bit too. Yet, as scared as she was to hurt Alice any further, the need to hold and comfort her overtook any fears she had and she knew what she needed to do. Pushing her fear of rejection aside, she closed the space between them and tried to wrap her arms around the writer as tightly as she could. She wanted to take Alice in her arms and whisper sweet nothings in her ear, promising her that everything would be okay as long as they had each other. Unfortunately, Alice wasn’t having any of that and instinctually pushed Dana away from her, causing the athlete to stumble back a bit in her intoxicated state. She watched Dana regain her balance and stare back at her, the athlete’s own tears now streaming down her face after being so brutally rebuffed. And once a few more moments passed between them, the athlete slowly shook her head, wiped her eyes roughly, and started to walk away towards the bedroom.
Alice couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Well, realistically, she did believe it, she just absolutely didn’t want to. Once again, here they were. Alice, trying her best to break through the wall Dana had constructed around her heart. And once again, when she got too close and things got too messy, Dana was running away. The going got tough and she couldn’t even stick around to work through it.

awesome. i am so excited to see what happens next.
Oh man my heart is breakin here, this was a great chapter!!, I hope Dana doesn’t give up though, thanks for the post!!
Fantastic chapter – Dana can’t give up on Alice – what a pity she was so stoned – as things might have been a bit different. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
OMG…that was intense. I was holding my breath untill the end of this chapter! What is their next move? What will Alice tell Jules? And how will ‘ sober’ Dana act around Alice the next time they see each other?
Okay, I haven’t even read past the first page yet, but I have to comment and say that I’m a little freaked out. After work this morning I decided to have a Tarantino marathon, and right before I checked the main page I’d just finished watching Pulp Fiction. Needless to say, I’m feeling a little spooked as well as amused by the word “motherfucker” in this. Okay, I’m gonna go read the rest and leave more feedback later. Ta.
Okay, I read it and have returned to comment again. You’re a fucking heartbreaker, you know that?? I’m seriously crying over here. Poor Dana, poor Alice, and even poor Jules, but she’s a bad mother fucker so she’ll get over it. Well, if there’s anything to get over, which there had better be because Alice and Dana need to be together.
First things first it happened at 4am…that was magical, next I am so glad that Dana actually told Alice how she feels but for some reason I don’t think Jules is just going to sit back and let it Dana and Alice happen. This chapter would have to have an 11/10 if I could do that. Fantastic PPS.
Wow! As much as my heart breaks for Dana, I understand Alice’s need to protect herself. Jules is a saint and all, but I wonder how she will react when Alice finally finds her. She gets it. Not only does Dana belong to Alice, (I loved that line), but Alice belongs to Dana too!Go Tennessee!
Wow that was just perfect I can’t wait to see wat happens next
Ouch you are killing me here. PPS. You can’t leave us hanging like that, not nice.
I think we know the real reason Alice and Jules haven’t slept together yet *nudge nudge* , so when he and Alice eventually have the talk about ‘Dana’ will he admit his secret? hehe ok I love this, I truly do, I want it to never end. :) xx
damn! poor dana :S she finally opens to alice but guess it was too late :( i just want jules to disappear…:P well not really but frak! i just want danish together :( can’t wait for your next chapter :D
fanfrikintastic!!!!!
And so it begins…Love this…you have definately captured Danish Angst…Dana needs to really step it up! Great Chapter! PPS!
simply put – well done!
