Bette’s face was priceless. She appeared mad, sympathetic and surprised at my entrance as she and Tina took an arm each and hauled my ass over to a lounger setting me down gently and asking why I was alone and wasted. I recall vaguely telling them about Dana needing space and leaving me, Lara puncturing my tire and spilling hot coffee down my favourite shirt, the snoring man in the bar and then nothing. Apparently I just conked right out and somehow the couple managed to get me into the guest room and undressed to my underwear. I awoke the next day with one bitch of a hangover.
I heard murmuring again. It was Shane’s voice, she sounded like she was crying and at first I was pretty sure I’d drifted back into a contrived daydream of some kind but it was louder than my flashbacks and quite coherent for once. This can’t fucking happen, this just…this just can’t be happening to her. Why the fuck was she drinking? Why didn’t I just stay with her? I heard movement and then Bette respond. Shane you cannot blame yourself, we can play the what if game all day long and nothing good will come of it. We need to just hold tight until the results of her scan come back ok? I assume there was some form of unspoken contact or comforting as no one spoke for a couple of minutes and the room was deathly silent aside the constant beeping I had never deciphered before. I thought it was someone’s cell phone. Tina broke the silence first. We managed to get a hold of…And then it went quiet again. I was begging my lips to move so I could find out the rest of that sentence. The frustration was beginning to drive me insane, why the fuck couldn’t I talk? The creeping feeling of fear began to rear its ugly head now. How long was I going to be like this? Was I in hospital or my bed at home? What had happened? Where was my car? I didn’t have time to contemplate those questions before my mind raced back and left the present for the meantime.
Three days after the bar incident I received the first contact from Dana since she had asked for some time apart. My head by then was doing overtime, imagining Lara and Dana shacking up now, Lara kissing the woman who should be with me, the woman who told me she loved me and led me to believe it with all my heart. I had tried her and found her guilty before she even talked to me and although I recognised this as paranoia, a niggling instinct told me it couldn’t all be false. She spoke so softly, almost defeated, a tone I didn’t recalling hearing since she had told her parents she was gay. We didn’t say much to each other although I had a million questions balancing on the tip of my tongue and ready to roll off in a split second, I chose to listen to her. She asked how I was in which I replied that I missed her. She said the same back convincingly with no doubt in her tone. She proposed we go a walk up to the canyon and immediately I knew this was not going to be a nostalgic reminiscence of our ‘rules of unattraction.’
I don’t know how much time had passed but I felt pain again only this time far more intense and unlike any I had ever felt before. My whole body was aching, especially my ribs and head. I was beginning to piece together that I was in hospital and figured that it had something to do with me driving, I must have crashed. I didn’t recall doing so but for some odd reason my first thought was how badly was my car damaged. Fucked up huh? I heard a door opening and footsteps walk into the room interupting my vehicle ponders, an unmistakable voice then penetrated me and I knew she was back in my life again.

Outstanding, De_leish_ous. Amazingly written. I feel so much for Alice, but, you also make me feel for what Dana went through in this story. I can only imagine Alice laying there having to revisit those difficult memories and not being able to understand what was going on in her real life. I am so glad her friends are there and hope that Bette made Shane understand and alleviate some of her guilt. So is this the worst? Maybe? ;-D BTW: I think the pace you are going is just fine. This is an incredible story and you should tell it the way you want to tell it. I can’t wait to see what happens with Dana seeing Alice again. Thanks so much!!
perfectly written story. i hope alice will be okay. Maybe if ever Alice survive this accident, which I do hope she will, maybe it’s better if she let go of Dana. Maybe then Dana will realize what she have been missing all along..please post soon. I just can’t get enough of this story. Thank you so much.
So emotional. Makes me reflect what happened in season three. But this is so much better, as there’s still hopes for both of them, although they have to go through painful stage first. I think it does not matter how hard things would be as long as they are together in the end. Great update, thanks and please post soon.
