Alice woke up in the darkness, feeling the empty space beside her. Figuring that Dana was just in the bathroom, she closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep. About ten minutes later, she sighed and sat up. She knew it was ridiculous to worry about Dana’s health every second of every day, but she couldn’t help being concerned. Dana had always been a fairly deep sleeper even during her chemo, and for her to be out of bed in the middle of the night wasn’t an ordinary event.
Worried, Alice put on her robe and some slippers and shuffled sleepily to the living room. Dana was sitting on the couch with the lights off. Even in the dark, Alice could make out the pill bottle in her hand.
Dana jumped slightly when Alice touched her left shoulder, but she didn’t seem too bothered by her presence. She didn’t turn as she said, “I’m okay, Al.”
“Okay,” Alice whispered, although she didn’t believe it for a second. She could see Dana fighting with herself even in the darkness of the room, working herself up to say something. She got as far as taking a deep breath and opening her mouth to say it before seeming to give up.
“I’m sorry if I woke you up,” was all she ended up saying, chickening out at the last second. She still refused to look over at Alice. Instead, she concentrated on the bottle of pills in her hand, turning it over and over as she sat there, waiting for Alice to call her out.
“You didn’t,” Alice replied softly. “I just noticed you weren’t with me, that’s all.” She hesitated a minute before asking, “Is your shoulder bothering you?”
Dana nodded slightly and sighed. At least this was something she could admit to without feeling like a complete loser. “A little. It’s not bad, though.”
“Okay,” Alice repeated, trying not to be offensive in any way, as she walked around the couch to sit next to Dana. “I just thought it might be bad since it woke you up. And…um, you’ve got your pills.”
Dana was silent for a minute before she replied. “Yeah. I don’t know, Al. It really hurts, but…I just don’t want to take anything for it.” Her voice was heavy with defeat as she said it.

I read each chapter of YOU and think she can’t do any better then this and then you go and shock me by doing just that. This chapter was great as I too take morphine but I have to be in terrible pain before I would take it cuz I am so terrified of getting addicted, so I get what Dana is feeling. Also the kitten was a cute touch and socks will be a great addition to their wee family, I canny wait to see Angelica with the kitten, I loved it, PPS xxx
That was so good. I especially liked the conversation about the pills. The story has been great. I love the realism. The scene with the kitten was too cute.
Aawww socks is so cute!! And Alice with Socks is even cuter. I can just imagine them, the terrible two stealing Dana’s food and getting up to mischief together. Great chapter
Nope! I’m not on crack! I just know and appreciate good writing and story-telling! And BTW, the “Sox” that I love are the “Red” ones, but Alice and Dana’s little one with white “Socks” sounds pretty lovable too. Coincidentally, I just got home from a game at Fenway between the Red and White Sox before reading your latest intallment of this wonderful story.
Great as always !! PPS please
Loved it! You really do an amazing job on the different aspects and stages of Dana’s recovery. I look forward to the next chapter. And maybe some NC-17? ;-D
Oh geez, I can’t even think of a smartass comment. This one was very sweet and the addition of Socks to their family seems to fit in perfectly. It also was good to get a little update on Bette/Tina. Nice chapter!
you know? I have my own little spawn of satan!!! and he’s totally in love with me, and vice-versa, of course!! ;) he’s just a little clingy at times (sssshhhh…he’s coming). Socks seems to be fascinated with Alice too! I don’t blame her, though…It’s amazing how you keep heightening the Danish sweetness… Thanks for the candy, MT!
oh you know you love it and you certainly deserve it so stop thinking you don’t your story rocks and i love every chap you post this one was very cute :)
Awesome Update and very cute! Feel free to let your stream of concious flow! Shithead hysterical!!! Love them and Love this story! Keep up the great writing!
