Shane proceeded with caution, “Well, I dunno. A couple nights ago when I saw you two together, you had a huge fight at Milk and Dana ended up going home early.”
“Oh that? Pssh,” Alice tried to play it off, “that was nothing. Besides, Dana had to train early the next morning so she was planning on leaving around then anyway.”
“She looked pretty upset, Al. And then you disappeared before anyone could find you.”
“I didn’t know anyone was keeping tabs on my whereabouts, Shane. Besides, I told you before, I was doing shots with the bartender and I left shortly after.” It wasn’t that that was a blatant lie, she really was doing shots with the bartender. But she did kind of figure that after the public spat, and Dana’s subsequent departure, her friends would be looking for her in the hopes of consoling her…or even worse, telling her that she was wrong. So she managed to make her way over to the bar in the far corner of Milk and get mercilessly drunk in hopes of forgetting that the night ever happened.
“Good thing too,” Alice continued, “I totally forgot that my next article was due this morning. I had to pull an all-nighter last night just to make up for the lost time I spent at Milk. And to think I figured drinking at a bar would be considered research for an article called ‘Top 10 Martini Bars in LA’!”
Shane rolled her eyes at this. “So was Dane okay? I tried calling her this morning but her phone was off.”
“Yeah, well she had a date this morning.”
Shane stopped and met Alice’s eyes in the mirror, “What?”
“She was having coffee with Lara.”
Shane let out the breath she was holding. “Al, I’d hardly call that a date. They’re friends.”
Alice gave her friend a deadpan look, “Yeah, just like you and Cheri Jaffe are friends, Shane.”
“Alice, that’s completely different.”
“Fine, you’re right. Even though Lara was Dana’s first love and they never had any closure, so there’s still all this sexual tension between them that they both make painfully obvious to everyone…yeah, it’s nothing like that.”
“Wait, I thought you were Dana’s first love?”
“Yeah, so did I.”

Awww!!! Poor Alice! This story is awesome, and I love the twist you have put on this story! Keep it up! I can’t wait for your next chapter! :-)
Snif, snif!!! Poor Alice! She´s already nuts even before the break up! Please post soon.
Aw, poor Al! I want to give her a hug. Pretty much all the time. And hey, I’ll make you a deal: I’ll keep updating as long as you do. Deal?
Definitely go Jets, but go you too! You’re doing a great job with your story. I loved the interaction between Shane and Alice, especially after Shane said Alice always IS on something. Alice appears to be in for a big heartache. Bring on the drama!
It’s hard to believe in something when you don’t have tangible evidence. And it’s easy to talk yourself around to believing the worst when you have any barest sign to confirm your fears. It’s a hard way ahead for Alice. Good chapter, Swis.
