Too Late, Ch. 7
“Uh, okay,” Alice agreed, deciding not to mention that Helena was basically no longer speaking to her. “Wellbye,” she finished awkwardly, giving Dana a small smile.
Smiling back feebly, Dana wiggled a couple of fingers. “Bye. I should be home sometime tomorrow, so maybe I’ll call you then or something.”
Alice simply nodded and backed out of the room, nearly plowing into Shane as she pushed her way out of the room and hurried away.
“That can’t be a good sign,” Tina noted, watching Alice rush past them with her head down.
“But on the contrary, maybe it is,” Jenny replied, eyebrows raised.
Shane was watching Alice’s retreating figure and she suddenly jogged after her. “Shane, leave it alone!” Bette called from behind her.
Catching Alice’s arm, Shane came up beside her. “Al, wait. What happened? What’s up?”
“Huh?” Alice said, looking up in a daze. She shook her head to clear it. “Nothing happened. Was something supposed to? Dana just apologized and we’ve decided we might try to work on being friends again, or something close to it.” She pulled her arm away from Shane.
“So that’s it?” Shane asked, taking a step toward Alice.
“Shane, I – ” Alice’s voice cracked, and she looked away, her eyes shining. “Shane, what am I supposed to do? The only woman I ever really loved might be dying. Not only that, she and I really don’t even have a friendship anymore, and she felt she couldn’t even tell me she was sick. And what do you expect me to do? Break down and cry right here? Don’t you think I already did enough of that last night? I’m all cried out.”
Shane squeezed Alice’s shoulder. “Just be there for her, Al.”
Alice sniffled. “I’m trying, if she’ll let me. And on top of this, I feel bad because I screwed up with Helena. I think I really hurt her feelings, Shane.”
Shane eyed her steadily. “And?”
“And?” Alice repeated, swiping at her eyes with the back of her hand. “Shane, you don’t know Helena, okay? You just know the ***** you heard from Bette, and what did you expect to hear from her? Helena’s not the person you think she is, and I happen to like her.” She looked into Shane’s eyes. “A lot. And I like being around her. I’d at least like to try and salvage my friendship with her. I need a friend right now.”

Glad to see your back again. I really hate these depressing stories, lol. I like that Shane shoved Alice in to Dana’s room and blocked the door. I hope that Alice doesn’t get back together with Helena, gross. Alice and Dana all the way. Great update, don’t let work get in the way of writing, lol.
*Runs around the room happily* I was about to send a search party for you :). Ouch, my heart ache at this story but I love it! Always happy to see Shane helping out. Now where’s my cello?
aaaww tragic yet Beautiful..what I like bout this strie is either Dana&Alice (cute) or Helena&Alice (Cute) ending up2gether makes me happie cuz in the end Alice would wlk away with 1 friend&1 life mate (I hope)..even though Dana being sik shouldn’t justify Alice having 2kiss up2Dana’z ass…”If it’s meant to be, I’m sure they’ll find their way back to each other”?? :) BEAUTIFUL!!
I’m so glad you’ve returned to what you do best, writing! Shane blocking Alice in, is my favourite but it’s painful to see Dana hurting. I know playing the cello can take up most of your time, just relax. The cello can wait, however we can’t, so post soon!
