Goodbye My Friend
“It’s ok, Al. I’m really tired. Tell me it’s ok to go to sleep now.”
“I can’t Dane. Please, not yet.”
“Please, Alice. I’m tired. I need to know you’re ok.”
“How can I be ok with out you?”
“Al, it’s time for me to go now. Please tell me it’s ok.”
Alice’s tears were staining her sight. She knew she had to do this. She knew it was the only thing she could do for Dana now.
“Just go to sleep, baby. It’s ok. Just rest now.” She slowly got off of the chair and bent down over Dana. She placed her lips over Dana’s, letting them rest there for a few seconds. “Just sleep Dane, I love you, so much.”
“I love you, Alice.”
A few minutes later she was gone. Alice wandered out of the room, she remembers that she did bump into Shane and told her that Dana was gone. She knows that called Sharon and Irwin. But it was all just a blur. How Alice got home and how long since she left the hospital was a mystery to her. She wandered through Dana’s house seeing their past, seeing all of their memories. There was no sense to anything. Nothing was real. It was impossible to imagine life without Dana as a part of it. She would gladly go through their pain over and over again every day if that meant that Dana was still here. She wanted to see Dana play another match or laugh at some bad joke Alice told. She needed to see Dana’s smile and hear her sleepy first thing in the morning voice. She needed to feel Dana’s breath on her neck as she slept. She just needed Dana. Dana was her best friend, who was supposed to help her deal with this. That’s her best friend’s job, but that’s who is gone now.
Each corner she turned she expected to see Dana or hear Dana’s voice. When she walked into the bedroom, she saw an envelope propped on the dresser with her name on it. She approached it with trepidation. After holding it in her hands for a few minutes, she finally gathered the nerve to open it.

UGH…I didn’t really want to cry again today! That was gut wrenching but thank you. I think you are just preparing us for next week.
More tears I really dont like to shed tears This was so sad ,are we lookinf into next week or the week after. Cancer is such a deadly thing it takes you strnght and your love one also thanks so much for posting this
omg.. it was so good that im leaving my first comment ever! until now, Drowning has been my favorite fic. but this… im never crying over fictional things but this.. im speechless.. and i still have a little faith that my favorite character wont end up like that… anyway: im claping for you!
It is all so sad!!!! (The tears are streaming down my face.) But thank you for posting this story. I think your version is better than the one we are going to see next week (according to the spoilers).
*wipes away the tears* I’m speechless and happy, just because it’s a much better ending to the relationship than the show. Thank you very much for writing this story =)
Okay, I was just trying to get use to the idea of no more Dana…I just can’t. I know it’s over the fat lady has sung (not the Betty one), but it’s still hard. I cried over your version of next week and I guess I’m gonna cry next week until the end of this season. I can’t say I totally hated S3, but I don’t think I’ll buy the DVD like I did the others. I wish they had your version of the end…thanx for the post. Mad Love, Peace
There are no circumstances that can make me happy after Dana’s death, but at least Dana had the chance to make Alice understand that it was her she loved – only her.
Way too sad.
Cid, you got me teary eyed the first time so I thought it will be safe this time round. Guess what I was wrong. Nope, I’m still not ready to deal with this lol. Thanks for this sad but wonderfully written piece.
OMG can not believe what is happening in the show, here in Australia is the begining of the 2 season. Why they Kill DANA ….. I adore here, guys your stories are moch better than the show
Thank you..that was beautiful! I have tears STILL streaming down my face as i write this. I really hate this storyline, not only because Dana is my favorite character (besides Alice) but i had a friend die of breast cancer last year…so this hits close to home. I know the inevitable will happen to our favorite “Miss Dana” next week, I only wish that the writers will have her confess her love to Alice the way you did in your story.
“I love you, Alice, it was always you.”thank you sid. i feel like i got the scene i’ve hoped for… but never expected to get.
i almost read this on my blackberry on the way home from work – being as i could barely see the last paragraph through the tears, i am gonna go ahead and say the car ride home wouldn’t have gone so well for me. amazing story. great song – never heard it. i can only hope the writers give us 10% of a storyline like this one for danish. thanks alot.
wow, that was so sad and heartwrenching. i loved it and just hope the show does a good a job as you have.
That letter was beautiful. I too am clinging to the small hope that somehow Ilene will bring Dana out of her cancer. I absolutely hate the direction my favorite characters are going. How can you not have Dana without Alice or vice versa? I have enjoyed all the adorable Danish moments so far this season- I guess if you want to look on the brighter side. By the way, I was so excited to see that you had posted. I’ve missed your stories- you have a way of writing Danish that is so perfect. I have to admit, I’m pretty scared to see this next episode…but I’m still clinging to that shred of hope in me. Thanks for posting! I’d like to see some of our Danish writers rebel against the show and maybe have some happily-ever-after fluff for Danish. Great job!
I do not want this to happen but it looks like it will anyway got tears in my eyes so god know what I will be like if it does happen on the show which I am such that we all think that it will we just hope for the best but if dana was to pull though this then I would love to see her and alice back together again well done great post
thanks alot you made me cry at work….beautifully written!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ooohhh i just want to scream i really hope that this will happen on the show i cant watch if dana isnt gonna be on there…i am so scared…so afraid…anyways good writing.
:(
Man, I’m sooo not ready for this.
omg, this was so well written, I think IC should come and take a look. Sounds much better than the spoilers!
I know this comment is completely late, but it took me a long time to get used to the idea of Dana/Erin being gone. Therefore took me a long time to read this, and even though I still don’t like what has, by now, already happened, I love this story. And I think that you did Al and Dana’s relationship better justice than the writers…that letter at the end was beautiful. Especially the part about the smile. Anyway, thanks for sharing your talent…
