“I appreciate that, but I meant all the stuff that went on after the breakup.”
“Exactly. Just because you broke up shouldn’t automatically mean Dana should have just stopped being your best friend. All that stuff you did, maybe you didn’t go about it the right way, but it was just the only way you could manifest your hurt and disappointment in a way that she could understand. You said yourself she didn’t know how to communicate her feelings well, and when you would tell her how you felt she’d just shut down. How else are you supposed to make yourself heard if not through action?”
“So spying on my ex girlfriend and slashing her new girlfriend’s tires were rational responses?”
“Well, I wouldn’t exactly qualify them as rational…but they were human. And that’s all we can be during such emotionally-charged times. It’s easy for a third party on the outside to say ‘Oh that behavior is wrong’ because they have no emotions attached to the situation. But for you to react that way, all it means is that you cared and were hurt, and you wanted that to matter to Dana.”
Alice looked up at Jules and saw only what seemed to be honest, heartfelt sincerity in her eyes. She was having a hard time accepting the explanation, so she did what she did best. She concealed her true feelings behind a sarcastic remark. “Don’t take this the wrong way, but you sound like a shrink.”
“Well, I guess that’s okay considering my line of work.”
“Um…a musician?”
“Ha ha, no, I just do the singing for fun. I’d love to make it my living, but it doesn’t quite pay the bills.”
“God, you’re that talented and you only do it for fun? I drink for fun but no one’s giving me a standing ovation or asking for my autograph at the end of the night.”
“Well Alice, practice makes perfect.”
Alice smiled to herself and gave Jules a mental point for being as quick-witted and funny as Alice had hoped. “So what is it that you do?”
“I’m a social worker for the high schools in the Torrance Unified School District. And on the weekends I also volunteer at the community center helping mostly underprivileged kids, sometimes runaways…stuff like that.”

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!
