“Alice,” Dana replied in a bare whisper. It was a simple statement, not one to really question, yet Shane suddenly developed a knot in her stomach as she realized that this whole friendship thing between the two of them may create more problems than either one had anticipated.
“What about Alice?”
“I guess…Lara’s not too fond of the idea of me being friends with her.”
“Dane, I don’t think that should really stop you from being Alice’s friend.”
“I know. That’s what I told her. She said she’d never tell me who to be friends with, she just doesn’t understand why I’d even want to be friends with someone who did all that shit to me.”
“You mean the stalking?”
“Yeah, that. And the slashing Lara’s tires, and the spying, and the car chase. See, Lara doesn’t know Al, not the way we know her. She doesn’t get that all those things are not really Alice. She doesn’t understand that the Alice who did all those things wasn’t the woman I fell in love with. But Lara never really knew the real Alice, so she can’t tell the difference.”
“So you think Al’s back to her old self again?” Shane had her doubts but didn’t want to sway Dana’s opinion either way.
“Well…not exactly. But I really think she’s out of the woods, you know? She promised me she wasn’t going to do that stuff anymore, and I believe her. I think it’s definitely a step in the right direction. So yeah, I think she’s on her way back to being Al.”
Shane couldn’t help but be glad to hear the hope and optimism in her friend’s voice. After everything the two of them had put each other through, there was still an undeniable foundation of unconditional love and support that nothing could break. It made her almost hopeful herself that with such unwavering support from Dana, Alice would be back on track in no time.
“I hear what you’re saying Dane. But maybe that’s why Lara reacted the way she did.”
“I don’t get it.”
“I mean, maybe Lara knows that Alice is getting back to being herself again. And maybe she realizes that her old self was the woman you fell in love with. Maybe Lara’s just scared that you’re going to leave her for Alice once she gets her shit together.”

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!
