If I Fall: Chapter 11
Dana supposed that none of that really mattered now anyway. She had made a commitment to being with Lara, and Alice seemed happier than she’d been in months, probably because of this Jules character. Dana kept reminding herself that she was the one that made this mess in the first place, and now she’d just have to just live with it. But somehow those constant reminders didn’t seem to be cutting it tonight.
"Fuck!" Dana scolded herself.
"You know, cursing at yourself in the middle of a deserted beach is the first sign of mental instability," Alice chimed in as she got closer, "I should know."
Dana jumped at the sound of the voice she heard behind her, turning around to make out Alice’s silhouette nearing closer. The breeze had started to pick up a bit and it was making the bottom of her dress dance as she stood before Dana, holding her sandals between her fingers and dropping them into the sand before she sat down next to Dana’s feet.
"Jesus Christ, Al, you scared the shit out of me," the athlete mumbled as she took a seat next to Alice.
"Uh, I’m sorry? I’m not sure if there was really a non-scary way of approaching someone on a dark, desolate beach."
Dana considered this for a moment before Alice shook her from her thoughts. "So why are you out here by yourself, Dane?"
Dana locked eyes with Alice and stared into them for a minute, trying to figure out just how to explain herself. She quickly turned away and finished off her glass of wine before fumbling for a believable excuse. "Oh, you know, kind of a party pooper tonight I suppose."
"Dana Fairbanks, a party pooper? I don’t believe it! At this point you’re usually dancing the night away…as frightening as it may be for the rest of us to watch…"
Dana scoffed in mock anger and nudged Alice’s side slightly with her elbow. "Whatever. I think the real question is what are you doing out here? This is your party Alice, you should be off enjoying it."
"Well it’s kind of difficult to do that when my best friend is over here by herself."

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.
