Dana sighed and tried to stop her brain from over-thinking. ‘I’ll just casually walk over there and act like it’s no big deal. Maybe she’ll stay if I act like things are normal.’ She painted on a big, phony smile and started to make her way over to her friends. But just as Dana approached, she noticed Alice putting money down and gathering her belongings to make a mad dash for the exit. Dana’s face immediately fell, but only Shane noticed her disappointment.
“Hey guys!” Dana began cheerily. Everyone said tentative hellos and glanced at Alice, who was fervently trying to find her car keys. This wasn’t lost on Dana, who felt her heart constrict when Alice refused to even acknowledge her presence.
“Hey, Al,” Dana lamented, but it came out almost as more of a question.
“Hi,” Alice quickly muttered, refusing to look up at her. A few seconds went by and no one said anything. Dana stared blankly at Alice, who was still searching for her keys, and felt her eyes well up as she realized just how cold and distant to each other they had become. ‘Well,’ thought Dana, ‘I guess Hi is an improvement over being blatantly ignored.’
Try as she may, Alice found it difficult to not steal a glance at Dana. She knew the athlete had probably just finished her afternoon training session, which meant she was looking fucking hot from the sweat glistening all over her toned body. Alice internally scolded herself for thinking such thoughts when all she wanted to do was hate Dana. But she knew this was a futile task, as she could never really hate her. She also knew that she could never really get over how attracted she was to the woman. She resolved that it would just be something she’d have to live with and suppress for as long as she could.
“Here Dana, you can take my seat. I have to get back to work anyway. These tables aren’t going to wait themselves!” laughed Jenny as she got up and walked to the kitchen. The group looked up at Dana, and then back at Alice, all waiting to see how this would play out. Sure enough, just as Dana got comfortable in her chair, Alice finally found the elusive set of keys and quickly stood up.

This story just keeps getting better and better, I was so unbelieveably excited to see all my fav authors posting in the past couple of days and not one of you guys has been a disappointment. This story is just simply amazing and you portray Alice so well, I kinda feel what we didn’t see in the show is shown in this fanfic which is comforting :) I love where you’re taking this as tragic and heartbreaking as it is, it’s also f*cking brilliant. Can’t wait for the next chap. xx
whoa! could actually feel the burn of Alice’s last words. that was an awsome chapter, looking forward to your next!!
Ouch. This is painful to read, but it’s so well done that it’s worth it. This thing just keeps getting better, and it’s so much more realistic than what we were allowed to see. It’s good to see that Alice recognized Bette’s condescending attitude, it always bugged the crap out of me. Anyway, I hope some sort of resoultion will happen soon.
I see what you mean about them barely being friends. I was thinking the same thing as Muted – “ouch”, but I must truly be evil because as much as Dana may have needed to break up with Alice – the way she did it was really crappy – and I wasn’t exactly feeling sorry for her. Alice definitely needs to get herself together, and ultimately only hurts herself by holding a grudge against Dana, but I loved her parting comment. Bette is definitely an unforgiving pain in the neck, but hey – we need all kinds to make the world go ’round. I was surprised that you made the time to update because I know you must be super busy. Maybe you’ll be able to sneak a few more updates as class assignments… Well, it was worth a try. :-)This story does keep getting better and better.
I know its cruel to laugh at someone else’s misfortune but this is very funny and very sad…PPS
Six months is a long time to avoid someone. There’d have to be an undercurrent of tension that made it hard on everyone, not just Alice and Dana. As for them “choosing” Dana, it’s maybe just that Dana’s appearing to be a bit more “in control” since the breakup. Bette and Al… well, Alice wasn’t that tolerant of Bette’s “weakness” when she cheated on Tina, so I guess Bette’s being intolerant of Alice’s. Being pally with Helena probably isn’t helping matters. They obviously still care about each other or they couldn’t hurt one another. Those two (B & Al) need to talk. And all the above notwithstanding, six months *is* a long time for the group to have to choose to spend time with either one (Al) or the other (Dana). It’d be draining. See? Your post made me think. Keep ’em coming, I’m really into this story.
God! I thought that watching the break up and awkwardness between Danish was bad, but you write so damn crystal clear and perfect that I think this is harder to handle! Please update again soon, seeing as how I fucking love this story! And by the way, I still have one more chapter to my Danish story. Maybe if you update again soon, I could work out an update from me! ;-)
