"I’ll go out and watch for the ambulance." The woman whispered. Turning, she fled the building.
Lara was still trying to reckon the order of events that led to her current uncomfortable situation. "I can’t believe I fell. Did I trip over something?" She tried to sit up, but was restrained by Alice’s firm hand.
"Just don’t move, okay? You’ve already broken your arm and your head is bleeding. Let’s not make it any worse. And, you didn’t trip, you fainted." Alice bit back the fear that was building. She remembered Lara’s dizzy spell from a couple of days ago. It’s something simple….the flu or something, she told herself. It had to be. Alice couldn’t even fathom the possibility that something might be seriously wrong with Lara. She couldn’t fathom anymore loss than she’d already faced. She swallowed and forced a weak smile. "Just take it easy, okay?"
Lara’s eyes shut briefly. "Okay," she mumbled. Blinking again, as if to clear her vision, she continued, "So that’s what it feels like to faint. For what it’s worth, it should never be done when standing on stairs." Her eyes widened with alarm. "Did Sara say she was watching for an ambulance?"
Alice nodded.
"Aww, fuck. Is that really necessary?" Lara again struggled to sit up, only to be firmly restrained by Alice.
"Let’s review. You were unconscious. Your arm seems to be broken. Your head is bleeding. At the time, an ambulance made perfect sense. It still makes sense to me." Alice spoke slowly and loudly.
Lara sighed and finally nodded. "God, this is going to cost an arm and a leg. I suppose I need id and maybe an insurance card, huh? Would you mind going up and grabbing my purse? It’s in the bedroom. My wallet has all the stuff I’ll need for the paperwork."
Alice blinked at the sudden practicality. "Right. As soon as the paramedics get here, I’ll run up and grab it."
Lara nodded and closed her eyes. "I’m so sorry, Alice." She shivered lightly.
"Are you cold?" Alice rubbed Lara’s uninjured arm.
"A little. You must think I’m the biggest geek." Lara’s voice was bitter.
"Shhh. I don’t think that at all. Let’s just get you checked out and make sure you’re okay, alright? Listen, I think that’s the ambulance now." A shrill siren approached.

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!
