Despite Shane’s best efforts at self-restraint, she still found herself being a little upset with Alice on top of it all. It wasn’t like Dana was blameless in any of this, far from it. And as much as Shane hated to form judgments when it came to her friends, from the outside looking in, it seemed like all of Alice’s stalking and distrust left Dana no other choice than to walk away. And some of the shit she did, like slashing Lara’s tires or chasing Dana down Santa Monica Boulevard, would have really pissed Shane off if it had been anyone else doing that to Dana but Alice. And while she had no desire to get in the middle of their relationship, Shane did realize that Dana didn’t have to completely check out on her best friend like she did. And she couldn’t blame Alice for depending on the booze and pills even more after Dana left, especially having to bear witness to the new relationship with Lara. But what was Shane supposed to do? They were both her best friends and she hated being stuck in the middle. She missed the days where the three of them could just hang out and be themselves without having to tip toe around feelings or jealousy. But with Alice self-medicating to the point where she wasn’t really Alice anymore, and Dana off in sous chef world, she wondered if those times would ever happen again.
The Knitting Factory—Later that Night
“Come on, let’s do another one.”
“Alice, please, no more tequila,” gasped Shane as she put her empty shot glass down on the bar and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
“Wow, being in a relationship has really made you quite boring, huh?”
“Yeah, thanks.”
Shane watched as Alice ordered another shot of tequila. They had only been there for 15 minutes, but the writer had already managed to finish off a beer and a shot, making Shane wonder when Alice was ever able to out-drink her. Maybe she had become boring?
“Al, what time does this band come on? I thought you said 9:30. It’s almost 10.”
“I don’t know. But they must be worth the wait, look how this place is filling up.”

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!
