“Helena—”
“Please Dana, I know you don’t owe me anything, but I’d appreciate it if you heard me out.”
“Go ahead.”
“It took her quite a long while to get to a place where she was even able to possess interest in another person. And I don’t know if the date she’s on tonight will in fact turn into anything at all, but I just ask that you let her be and don’t make it harder for her to move on.”
“Helena, my goal isn’t to make Alice’s life harder. It never was, okay? In fact, I broke up with her to make things simpler for her, hoping that if I removed the problem from the equation, it’d be easier for her to find a solution. I walked away so that she could get healthy again. I would never do anything to make things more difficult for her.”
“Maybe not consciously or directly, but I know how difficult it is to let go of someone.”
“Yeah it is, but I wouldn’t do anything to sabotage any progress Al’s made. God, why does it seem like I have to keep proving to everyone that I really do have her best interests at heart?”
“I’m sorry Dana, I really don’t mean to upset you. And you don’t have to prove anything to me, I’m just a concerned friend.
“Yeah, well, so am I.”
“Right, well, I’ll leave you be than. Just know that I’m very happy you and Alice are trying to be friends again, because she needs her friends around her right now. She needs people she can count on, who will be there for her without making things more difficult in the process. And I truly hope that includes you.”
Dana could only nod. She understood that Helena was just being loyal, and she was almost relieved that Alice had someone to watch out for her like the British woman was willing to. But Dana was with Lara now, and no matter how painful it was to hear that Alice was on a date with someone else, Dana was not selfish enough to fuck up Alice’s life once again. No, Dana had made this bed that they were all in, and she resolved to be strong enough to lie in it.

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!
