When we left off last time:
Lara came into the hallway and started down the stairs. "Please, let me…." Her voice tapered off, then came again in an alarmed tone. "Alice?"
Lara’s tone caused Alice to pause, hand on the doorknob. Looking up, she saw Lara falter. Halfway down the steps, she’d paused and gripped the banister. Her face was pale. As Alice watched, Lara’s eyes rolled back slightly and she pitched forward. She tumbled down the remaining four stairs and landed in a heap at Alice’s feet.
"Oh my god, Lara!" Alice knelt down and gently placed her hand on Lara’s shoulder. The redhead had landed face-up and was sweating slightly. A trickle of blood could be seen at her hairline.
The tenant in the ground floor apartment opened her door slightly and peered out curiously. Alice looked at her and pleaded frantically, "Please, call an ambulance!"
Chapter 10
Lara stirred slightly, as Alice looked on with concern. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Lara?" Alice asked gently, her hand still resting on Lara’s shoulder. "Can you hear me?"
Lara’s eyes rested on Alice with a confused expression. She blinked slowly and shifted her weight. Sucking her breath in sharply, she groaned, "My arm!"
Alice nodded. "You fell down the stairs, and landed on your arm….don’t try to move anymore than you have to. We’ve called an ambulance." Alice looked towards the neighbor who nodded her head.
"I fell?" Lara blinked hard trying to remember what had happened. She focused on Alice. A sudden recollection showed in her eyes, and she squeezed them shut. "Oh Alice," she whispered. "I’m so sorry. I should never have said that."
Alice was confused for a moment. In light of Lara’s fall she’d momentarily forgotten the exchange that had prompted her to run from Lara’s apartment. Grimly she remembered Lara’s hurtful barb that she’d learned nothing from the disastrous way in which her relationship with Dana had ended. Swallowing, she forced the thought to the back of her mind. "Shhh. Don’t worry about that now. We just need to make sure you are okay."
The neighbor inched into the hallway and extended a wet cloth to Alice. She signaled with her other hand. "For her forehead. It’s bleeding." Alice took the washcloth gratefully and gently applied it to Lara, who still seemed to be vaguely confused.

Shoot…I can relate to the fainting…and the effect it has on someone who is with you when you do it…I hope she is okay. So Bette & Tina will run into each other at the hospital….is this a good thing or a bad thing. And I’ll be waiting for you to hook my girl Bette up with someone…remember you promised…
I’m glad there was nothing more to Lara falling of the stairs (there really isn’t, is there?). I can totally understand that Alice had a little anxiety attack at the hospital…the memories of the last time she was there aren’t good at all. I really love this story, I like the whole pace of it. Keep it up!
Great =) more soon, k?
poor alice and I hope that lara is ok please post soon and great update I lov it and I can’t wait to see what happens next
Wow. How the HELL did I miss so many great fucking updates?! I just caught up on the last few chapters, and I have to say that I am totally in love with this story. I really started to dig the Lace thing at the end of season three (as much as my Danish loving heart hates to admit), and you write it better than IC could ever dream of. Please continue soon, because I will be anxiously awaiting your next update! This is an awesome story that is beautifully written! :-)
loved it! but what else is new? my friend just fainted the other day and fell off a ladder, so i went through a similar scare as this one. i know how alice feels! well im looking foward to your next update!
Gah I’m addicted to this story so much now! It’s keeping that little flame alive in my heart that there will possibly be more of a lace storyline in the next season (… a little fire which IC will no doubt extinguish with a big bucket of festering crap…). It’s great, so much drama, so much sexual tension! And the comment Lara made in the previous chapter to Alice, well it almost broke my heart. Update soon k? Cause it’s awsome.
OMG don’t tease us with such fast updates, I love them too much;) Please post soon to feed my habit. I’m totally curious to find out what is really wrong with our girl Lara. I enjoy how you’ve maintained the Dana connection with the apprehension of Alice entering the hospital too. I hope that Lace can comfort each other soon and keep working their issues out. And you DO know that our screens might explode from all the over-the-top hotness of tension released if/when you have them get together. Or am I being presumptuous? Also: OK, you got me, Lara pregs may be a tad much at this point. Regardless, this story rocks and I agree with bojangles that it keeps the thought of the Lace storyline alive…it just doesn’t make sense to NOT have them as the ‘it’ couple in S4, but then again, who knows what IC & Co. are thinking… waah. Post soon and you rock!
