If I Fall: Chapter 13
"You don’t sound too sure Dane…"
Dana sighed and cleared her throat before replying, "You ever have those days where your mind is just kind of fuzzy and you don’t want to deal with anything? Like, your brain just won’t let reality sink in? Kind of like an emotional hang over. I don’t know, I just can’t really get a hold on my thoughts today. Eh, look who I’m talking to…you always know exactly how you feel."
"Oh please. I’ve spent the better part of the last year doing everything I could not to feel. So I’m not exactly the pinnacle of emotional intelligence if you know what I mean."
"I’m sorry Alice," Dana whispered as the realization of the writer’s previous confession sunk in.
"Hey, stop, okay? If were gonna be friends, now and in the future, we can’t keep looking back. I just want to focus on right now. So no more apologies okay?"
"Okay, I promise…hey, speaking of now. We should totally go take a walk down by the beach after this. We can stop by that little shop on the pier so you can get that soft ice cream you love."
"You mean the ice cream you love?"
"Do not! You’re always the one who orders it."
"Oh please, that’s only because I know you want it but you’re too busy playing the role of Miss ‘Alllllllll, you know I can’t eat ice cream while I’m training’."
"See that was the old Dana," the athlete rationalized with a mischievous grin, "the new and improved Dana…well, she eats lots of ice cream. Gallons perhaps, maybe even tons."
"I had no idea there was such a thing as the new and improved Dana Fairbanks," Alice shot back as she matched Dana’s grin. "Hmm, is this new Dana still afraid of scary movies? Or has she suddenly conquered that fear as well?"
"I am not afraid of scary movies! I’ll have you know that I just closed my eyes that time we watched Saw because there was something in them."
"Oh, so there was something in both of them?"
"Well, yeah."

Okay, first? “Top of the muffin…TO YOU!!!” Sorry, I had to. Second: I love your little homage to Ally’s Julian conjecture. Awesome. Third…nothing specific, just that you’re fucking amazing at this and I heart the story more every time you update. I love the slow buildup thing you have going for Danish, and making Jules human and good for Alice instead of a jerkbot who makes it logical for her to run back to Dana. Love love love this! And take as much time as you need between updates, you’ve got pelnty of people who’ll read and enjoy this no matter how long you make us wait.
I LOVE this story
Quantity and quality … you’re amazing!!! I chuckled when I read the part about Dana not returning Lara’s phone calls. I hate to say it, but I see so many of my less than direct qualities in her. lol I had forgotten that De_Leish said Jules was a guy – too funny! Your story is fantastic. I caught the part you added. It fit in perfectly. Thanks for the update!
Damn I freakin’ love this story. I haven’t had much of a chance to read fanfic lately, so I just read the last two updates now. Can’t wait to see what you have planned next.
Finally got caught up this morning…and am still very much enjoying this. You’re doing such a great job of capturing the awkwardness of trying to pretend nothing’s there while they’re trying to recapture their comfort zone. Looking forward to more! PPS
On one hand I could strangle Dana for playing with Alice’s emotions like that. On the other hand…if it would result in a positive Danish outcome I’m all for encouraging Dana on what she is doing (although she doesn’t even know herself waht she exactly is doing ;)). Looking forward to the next chapter!
Lameoid I am – I’ve just discovered your story – Yay! for me – it’s wonderful. Jules sort of scares me – anyone that immaculate must be borderline wacky mcnutty. I am so anticipating the next chapter.
Ok I LMFAO when the penis convo was brought up! I’m so happy Dana agrees with me :D I luv ya for that, I truly do, it’s made my night. In fact this whole post was amazing, the depth and realism you write about their situation is so excellent. PPS
