If I Fall: Chapter 11
But nothing could prepare Dana for the pain she felt when she had left. And now, after being granted the opportunity to hold the writer once again, she found it extremely difficult to have just let her go. She knew clinging to Alice for dear life in the middle of her surprise birthday party, while her new girlfriend irately looked on, probably wasn’t the best way to say "Let’s be friends". Still, Dana couldn’t help but shake the chill that ran through her body as Alice’s skin first touched her own. Maybe it wasn’t so much a chill as a shot of electricity coursing through her veins. Either way it shook Dana to her core and sent her mind reeling in every possible direction, trying to figure out just what sort of mess she had made of her life.
She admitted that while she cared about Lara, the redhead was never quite able to elicit the sort of raw emotion from her that Alice could. And that was precisely why Dana was with Lara now. Lara was safe and easy, she was simple and predictable, and she was supportive and rational. Lara was all the things that Dana felt she could handle. And then there was Alice. Alice was exciting and complicated and emotional and raw, and their connection was so fucking intense sometimes that Dana wanted to run scared. So that’s exactly what she did. She knew that she could never feel the type of love that she felt for Alice with anyone else. No one could ever give her both the chills and get her hot at the same time with just one little touch. No one could ever look into her eyes and strip her completely of all of her defenses. And no one could ever make Dana feel like she was the only person on this entire planet, just like Alice did every time they were together.
But while those feelings made Dana happier than ever before, they also terrified her enough to forget how good being with Alice actually felt. Or maybe as time went by she just wouldn’t let herself remember. But most likely, the Alice that Dana left was not the same woman she had fallen in love with.

Hey Thank you great update. Gotta love that Danish. PPS.
I’m sorry, I can’t help it! I want danish together and if that means tainting Jules so you can no longer write him into this then yay! :P My plan is working mwahaha. As for that needy comment, uh em, no you don’t *shifts eyes nervously from side to side* I’m perfectly fine without an update from you. Do you buy that? This is Bradshaw saying you posted an awesome chapter once again and I’m mega jealous of your talent, over and out xx
Another great update! It was awesome, before, but I liked the additions too. Unlike your other readers I’m not quite ready for them to get back together. I don’t want Dana to suffer, but she has to be completely sure before she even gives a hint that she’s still interested in Alice. I’m sure Shane will figure it out – if she hasn’t already. :-) It’s so funny that De_Leish_ous is still calling Jules “him”. rofl I can’t wait for your next update.Yes, I got a little kick out of calling you busy. You left before noon? It’s official, I’m jealous. lol You’re right – Go Chargers! (But I sorta like the Ravens too.) Down with the Pats! lolThanks again for the update and the preview.
Aww, poor Dana. Sometimes I wish she’d quit with all the being scared and hiding her feelings crap, but this time she’s doing it for Alice’s sake, and I can’t help hurting for her a little bit. That’s such a tough situation to be in, and her guilt’s understandable, which somehow makes it even more sad. There was a lot of groundwork for a Danish romantic reconciliation in this update, and everything made complete sense in the context of both the storyline and the characters’ personalities. So yay. Oh, and as to the livejournal thing…I had a sneaking suspicion it was you just by the writing style, but I didn’t want to say that in case I was wrong because I’d look either insane or idiotic. But yay, I was right! Okay, I’ll stop babbling your life away now…love this story more every time you post!
It’s good that they have their friendship back on track. I can’t wait for Dana to tell Alice how she really feels though
Are you serious? How can a non-argument between these two be dissapointing? This chapter was more I than I exepcted! So will we have a slighlty drunk Alice (and Dana) in the next chapter. :)
so cute. what the heck is dana gonna do? i really liked the line “Dana’s heart seemed to pound in her chest, making sure she knew it was still beating just for Alice. ” how poetic! post soon.
Great update just wish it was 20 pages longer. My heart is breaking for Dana a little bit, poor thing. Granted she did it to herself. Love the intensity you are building and can’t wait to see what happens.
YAY … I finally caught up after not reading any fanfic in about 2 weeks. I absolutely can’t wait for your next update!
Awesome story.Nice to see them talking. hope it stays that way.Please post more soon.
