Dana couldn’t believe the uncanny ability Shane had at assessing a situation and finding a resolution for it within seconds. She herself was so far from being able to understand her own problems, let alone the thought processes of others, that she was just in awe of Shane’s emotional intelligence.
“You’re probably right,” Dana relented, “how the hell do you do that?”
“Yoda, I am.”
“Cute.”
“So, you okay? Want me to come by there or something?”
“No, I know you’re out with Al, I don’t want to ruin her night. Please, that’s the last thing we need right now.”
“Dana, if you need me to be there…”
“No really Shane, I’ll be fine. I’m just gonna wait for Lara to come back and talk to her about it again. I guess I just have to make her understand that Alice and I are just friends, nothing more.”
Shane was tempted to ask Dana if that was actually true, but decided against it. She knew her friend just needed her support right now, not for her to play devil’s advocate and make her doubt her feelings.
“Okay Dane, call me if you need me.”
“Thanks Yoda. I’ll talk to you later.”
Back inside, after scanning the bar area to no avail, Alice finally found Julianna helping the band pack up the equipment on the side of the stage. Determined and drunk, she made her way over to the singer, who was kneeling on the floor winding the microphone cord around her arm.
“Didn’t seem like you had any trouble concentrating on the music tonight,” Alice opted for over a simple ‘Hello’.
Julianna quickly turned to look up and found Alice staring back down at her. At first she wore a look of confusion, but after a few seconds it finally registered and her lips grew into a wide smile. She stopped winding the cord in her hand and stood up to face the writer.
“You must be Alice Pieszecki of The Chart.”
“Yes I am, but my friends just call me Alice for short.”
Juliana chuckled and extended her hand to Alice, “I’m Jules.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“Right. You probably figured that out by now. Wow, I swear I’m not usually this ditzy,” Jules couldn’t help but blush.

Woah so much happened and explained about our girl but firstly, Alice mate what are you doing going out and getting yourself emotionally involved with another woman when your in no fit state to handle yourself? Then again Jules could be could for her but maybe only as a distraction from her underlying problem…Dana. And now that Dana and Lara are rocky over Alice will they break up? And how will Alice react to Dana being single if they do? Will this cause Alice to flip out again blaming herself and how will Dana react to know that Alice is out dating again? oh my god way too many questions I need answers to like right now lol. I think I’m starting to sound like Carrie Bradshaw from SATC with these questions so I’m gonna round it up by saying awesome post, loving this story, you may not post often but damn they are brilliant when you do! xx
Gah! So much tension! So much uncertainty! I don’t know that I can take it! And dammit, you made me like Jules. I’m not supposed to like people other than Dana with Alice, so I’m quite perplexed, especially since you gave her Samuel L. Jackson’s character name in Pulp Fiction. But anyway, aside from my vexation I loved it. So much was explained, and you made it realistic and totally fitting for Alice’s character. I think I’m going to go crawl into a hole in shame now. Toodles.
WOot woot good for Alice! I wonder how Dana’s gonna take Alice dating again. Thanks for another awsome chapter, post more soon!!
I haven’t read yet, but there’s nothing more productive than posting!Okay, maybe that’s not quite true, but you should write as much as you can now – to make up for when you’ll be too busy again in a few weeks. (That didn’t sound self-serving, did it?) lol
I liked Jules too. I didn’t find her annoying at all, though when she called in, she sounded an awful lot like Dana. I’ve never wanted Lara and Dana to stay together – until now. Alice may not be ready for another relationship, but I’m all for a little distraction. I don’t think Alice’s problem is Dana. I think her problem is Alice, and her family issues growing up. I’m looking forward to seeing where you go with Jules and Alice.
i finally got caught up reading the past 5 posts and it is great. i love that you have given some background and reasoning for the things that alice and dana have done. it is definitely true to character. jules sounds super cute. i am excited for jealous dana when she sees them together. post soon.
So I have never read this fic before, but your summary sounded interesting so I gave it a shot and it’s great! I am gonna go catch up right now. lol. I also wanted to say that when you were naming bands and you mentioned Garbage and No Doubt, I was thinking…ok cool. This girl has good taste. But then…you mention Jenny fucking Lewis and Rilo Kiley…and I gotta say…you made me a fan for life. RK is my favorite band of all time and I have met Jenny and the gang several times. That was just too fucking cool when you mentioned them. So anyways, sorry for the ramble. This was great and I look forward to the next chapter. I’m off to read the old ones. lol
Loving this story and hoping you post again soon!
