And that was why Dana just told her to leave. She wasn’t really thinking too clearly; hell, she was in too much pain. And Lara could see that…but she had also seen the way Dana responded favorably when Alice was around, the way she was able to relax with Alice when she tossed and turned all night with Lara right there, the way…hundreds of other little things. So, she left, but before she did, she turned to look at Dana and said, “I’m only leaving because you want me to, Dana. I love you, and I hope you find what you need with Alice.” Then she left, going home to pack what she could and booking the next flight to Paris. She did consider calling Alice, but figured Dana would do that soon enough. And strangely, although it hurt a lot more than she was comfortable admitting, Lara somehow wasn’t completely devastated. She’d been anticipating it for weeks now, and Dana was obviously in good hands.
That didn’t mean Dana was okay with it, though. She probably hadn’t cried so hard in months, and it was incredibly stupid for her to be crying now because, after all, she was the one who’d just kicked Lara out, and been a total bitch about it. She felt guilty, sure, but Lara’s parting words had given her a little hope that maybe Lara didn’t think she was Satan incarnate. She hoped so, anyway, as she dialed Alice’s number. All she could say was “Lara left me,” before she heard the Mini’s tires squeal as Alice performed a maneuver that Dana knew couldn’t be legal, from the sounds of it. She got up to throw on her robe before Alice got there and saw her in all her pajama-ridden weepy glory.
“Okay, so, what the fuck happened? And don’t try to give me any bullshit that both begins and ends with you being the victim, okay?”
Blinking back tears at the harshness of Alice’s tone, Dana gave her a somewhat embellished tale of Lara’s departure. Alice, of course, saw right through it, and let Dana know that she had to quit with the self-pitying bullshit.
“All this energy you’re putting into making yourself the victim could just as easily be spent fighting this thing, you know. You’re surrounded by love and a lot of really great fucking support and it just seems like you don’t even see that. I’m not saying you have to send us all rose bouquets twice a week in gratitude or anything, but fuck, Dane. You’ve got it pretty good. You’ve got really great insurance, your family, your friends, your home…you’ve taken really great care of yourself all your life, you’re young. There’s no reason you can’t beat this, but you have to fucking believe you’re going to beat it. Quit acting like your life’s over. This is just a setback. And if I ever hear you say things to me like you did to Lara, I’m gone, and this time you’ll be the one who gets left, Dana. Because I see the same shit happening with you that happened with me. I became someone I completely despised and I never thought I could be. That’s not you and it pisses me off that you’re letting this fucking thing win without even trying to fight it.” She hadn’t exactly meant to make it such a tirade, but once she started she wasn’t exactly able to stop.

Great job, the connection is real! Gives me hope for happy endings.
WOW muted im so very proud of you at this moment! I know that had to be tough to write,but you did it and it was the best update! Im sorry i havent been around ,wishing i was there for you to write this chapter.HUGS and just remember its almost 6 months!! Love ya!!! PPS
Wow Temp this was really really good and im not just saying that i truly mean it.I know what its like to write your own experiences in your story its kinda like an outlet and I know it mustve really been hard for you to write this, especially since youve lived through it. I love the way you ended this chapter. We all have that friend like shane that seems to always be right when you dont want them to be LOL
Wow! This is beautifully written. I loved it. Alice verbiage always make me smile. More Please.
Phenomenal update. It broke my heart, and gave me hope all at the same time. You did a wonderful job, and I really enjoyed reading it. I can only imagine how difficult this was to write, with having your own experiences with cancer. For that I applaude you. Thank you very much for sharing. Keep up the great writing. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen. Sorry, but I don’t have any good ideas about the Foamcore Dana. Although, I always did have this picture of Alice playing “dress up” with Foamcore Dana. You know…Dana’s pants and shirt? That way it not only looked like Dana, but smelled like her too. Weird right? Wait a sec…that didn’t actually happen right? I seem to have a whole bunch of season 3 memory lapses. Oh well. :) Loved it.
This update brought tears to my eyes. I absolutely loved it! It’s all in the small gestures that emphasis the strong bong between these women (and ofcourse especially Dana and Alice). I was glad to see that Alice replaced Bette. And Alice comforting Dana at any time…they’re just meant to be. *sigh* And I also loved the fact that they went looking for Dana after Carmen’s remark. The original storyline will only fade more to the background from now on. And don’t be scared, you will do just fine on your own. You already did a superb job with this one!
I am totally loving this story!!!
So sweet!! i hope you have a happy ending tho..my hopes are so high lol:)

I’ve had to catch up on the last couple chapters and i just want to read more and more. You’re doing a great job and this story has become one of my favorites. Can’t wait to see what happens next. gotta love the love…:)
