If I Fall: Chapter 13
Alice could be easily described by any one of her friends as upbeat, witty, loyal and carefree. And still, this was just Alice at a first glance. Not to say that her friends didn’t know her, but to really know Alice was to understand that there was so much more beneath the surface. And sure Shane knew most of what made Alice Alice, and Helena could definitely be put into the category of "in the know" as of late. Even Bette had a pretty good handle on what made Alice tick. Yet it was Dana and Dana alone who truly understood the writer for all she was, and why. And being able to acknowledge in this moment that their indestructible bond still existed gave Alice a sense of relief that she’d been struggling to find since the breakup.
This was because living the past seven months without Dana’s omniscient presence in her life nearly devastated her more than any romantic detachment really could have. When things got tough or confusing, or too fucking complicated for her to bear, she didn’t have the person who knew her best in the world to turn to. And that made it so much harder to deal with the breakup. Her best friend wasn’t there to help her through it. For the first time in seven years, Alice had to rely only on herself to make it through her darkest days. After a while, the writer had no choice but to force herself to deny just how important Dana’s presence in her life had been, hoping that it’d make it easier to get through each day without it.
But despite her best efforts, she was easily reminded just how integral to Dana’s friendship was when the brunette returned to the table with a heated raspberry scone, and vanilla frap (extra whipped cream) in hand. And placing the food in front of Alice, Dana couldn’t help but feel her breath catch in her throat when she looked down at the writer’s face, which was staring off into the distance, eyes gleaming with a content, satisfied expression in them.
"What?" Dana asked smiling at the goofy look she was getting from the writer.

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
