“Fair enough.”
Dana looked around and noticed immediately that Alice wasn’t there.
“So where’s, uh—,” she wanted to ask where Alice was, but knew that if she brought it up, Shane would discover the disappointment she was trying to conceal over the writer’s absence. So instead, Dana stuttered and fumbled for her words, finally settling on the next best thing. “—Bette?”
At this Shane raised her eyebrows, clearly caught off guard by the question. “Uh, she’s home with Angelica. Tina said they were gonna bring her over, but she was acting fussy so Bette decided to stay home with her.” She wanted to bring up Alice’s absence as well, but could tell Dana was having enough trouble with whatever inner struggle she was going through regarding the same thing. She decided it was best to just let it go, and handed Dana a beer instead.
After most of the cake had been eaten and they had all finished toasting Jenny’s accomplishment, Jenny gave each and everyone a heartfelt thank you and talked about how much their love and support had helped her over the past two years.
“I just wish Alice and Bette could have made it…I’ll have to thank them separately I guess.”
“Hey, where is Alice,” Max asked, looking directly at Shane.
“Uh…,” Shane began as she instinctively looked over at Dana and was met with an inquisitive stare, “…she’s on a date.” Shane could hardly bring herself to meet Dana’s eyes, but her curiosity won out as she stole a glance to see how the athlete was reacting to the news. Dana, meanwhile, was trying her best to conceal her true feelings by acting nonchalant and wearing a phony smile as she let her friend’s words sink in. In reality, her heart had constricted as soon as Shane uttered the word “date”, and the pain in her chest seemed palpable and unforgiving. She felt Lara’s eyes burning into her as she fought back her true emotions and put all her energy into not reacting to the thought of Alice being out with someone else.
A million questions swarmed her brain as Shane’s words reverberated in her ears. Who’s Alice on a date with? Is it a first date? How long has she been dating this person? Why didn’t she tell her? Would Alice ever feel comfortable telling her? Would Dana ever be comfortable with Alice telling her? Why did she feel like she wanted to go smash a tennis ball against a concrete wall right now? Why was she picturing Alice’s date standing in front of said concrete wall? Was the date a guy or a girl? Was the date better looking than Dana? Is Alice sleeping with the date? Was the date better in bed than Dana? Did this mean that Alice was over her?

LOL I’m glad you liked my Carrie rant and the only thing missing was the cosmo since I was smoking lol. However after the last cosmo incident I had I vowed not to drink them again for a very long time. Anyway back to what’s important, your story, your amazingly fantastic story. Jules, I half love her half hate her, she’s so damn cute and funny and perfcet and that’s great if I wasn’t such a danish lover. My heart is being torn betwene Alice’s sanity and a danish relationship, your making it sound like they belong apart because it’s easier on them both which makes me very sad :( I think Dana’s reaction was totally realistic to her character and if I was Lara I’d be major pissed off. Ok that’s enough ranting for now, awesome post, you’re putting me to shame big time. PPS xx
i feel bad for dana – she sounds so confused. but then at the same time i am happy for alice that jules sounds so awesome. thanks for posting so fast and ggreat job.
It seems like everyone on this site is trying to out me lately, in some form or another. First De_leish_ous outs me as a Danish perv, now you’ve outed me as a Jules fan…before long there won’t be any closets left to hide in. I really liked this one, you got a lot accomplished in only a few pages. I just have to ask…and feel free not to answer if you don’t want to, but…are you a Helacious fan, by chance? Just wondering. And as to Alice having a type, Jules does have dark hair, right? ;) I’m such a nerd, sorry. Anyway, you do a freaking fantastic job of getting into Dana’s head, and if I were Lara I’d be really pissed off right about now. You’ve managed to make me feel bad for the Soup Chef, so be proud!
Watching a Jet game with Patriot fans … sorry for you! Are you going to hang out with your Pats friends next week too? I find myself liking Jules a lot. She seems to have real depth. I hope she’s someone Alice can fall for.I think Dana doesn’t wants to be so selfish as to mess up things for Alice, but I’m sure she’ll blow up the thing with Jules – eventually.Go Helena! Speak the truth! :-D
Well let me start off by saying that you can never talk to me too much about music. lol. It’s pretty much my life :D Moving on to Jenny Lewis, I have met her several times and she is amazing and beautiful. I will have to tell you the story sometime of how we first met but it was awesome and hilarious and she’s fantastic! Very short though…which surprised me a bit…anyways, RK is my all time fav band and her solo album was excellent! PM sometime about them. Ok so on to the story. lol. This was awesome and I love where it’s headed. I don’t know how I missed this story but I am glad I found it. Keep up the great work and post again soon!
