If I Fall: Chapter 16
The familiar Subaru Outback pulled into the driveway about 5 minutes later, its scattered driver rambling off some excuse as to why she was late. Lara silently nodded as she raised herself up off the stoop and followed Dana into the condo.
"I know it’s no excuse, but I am sorry. Mike was being his usual hard-ass self and then I just must have lost track of time." She held the door open for Lara to enter before throwing her stuff down at their feet and walking into the house.
"It’s fine," Lara quietly replied, leaning against the inside of the door for support.
"Want a drink or something. I’m gonna go shower," Dana yelled as she made her way through the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. She hadn’t even realized Lara’s hesitance or timidity in her haste to re-hydrate.
"Dana," she began quietly.
"God, I can’t believe I only have a week before the Open. This season is just flying by." Dana went on, thinking Lara was right behind her, and still not noticing that there was something off about her girlfriend. She opened the refrigerator and began rummaging through its contents.
Quickly, Lara entered the kitchen while Dana’s back was turned to her and stoically stood behind her, working up all the courage she had before finally asking the question she’d been afraid to ask for months.
"Are you still in love with Alice?"
Silence, but for the slow closing of the refrigerator door as Dana removed her head from inside of it and turned to Lara incredulously. "What did you say?"
"I asked if you were still in love with Alice."
"Lara, what kind of question is that?"
"One that I’d like an answer to."
Dana averted Lara’s sad stare and let her eyes wander to every appliance in the kitchen, anything to avoid the look she was getting at that moment. She felt her face get hot and flustered as she fumbled to formulate a response, anything that would get her out of answering. "Listen, I’m not sure where this is coming from, but—"
"Dana! Can we just stop?" The harsh tone in her voice startled not only Dana, but Lara as well. "For one second, just stop," she continued in a hurried bare whisper. "Stop pretending everything is fine. Stop pretending that you see a future with me. Stop pretending like everyday you don’t regret your decision of walking out on Alice and getting involved with me. Let’s just stop, okay? Can we just be honest with each other, for one millisecond? And maybe not be so afraid to just say how we feel."

I guess Alice and Jules will be getting down with the get down. I’m truly digging this story to the nth. Yay!
Loved it! the break-up was very good..Lara is gone. Next one leaving? Jules (but is it bad that I like her?)I’m glad you liked my last comment, this story is really really great. PPS!!!
I loved Dana’s initial lack of a response when Lara asked if she was still in love with Alice. Thank you for ridding us of the Lara problem. I guess it has been long enough since season 3, so I’m capable of feeling somewhat sorry for her. I was also surprised that Dana was so blunt about Jules in the previous update. Happy writing!
it’s a first step that Dana and Lara broke-up, I mean who was she fooling? poor Lara though…now Dana has to come clean with Alice but I’m worried it’ll be too late :Sand lol can you make the tension thicker? damn! i can’t imagine it but i bet it’ll be a great chapter to read. keep the writing. have a nice week :)
Nice! Interested to see what Dana does, hopefully she puts it all out there, but at the appropriate time! Bring on the angts and sexual tension! PPS
I can’t wait to see how Dana is going to win Alice back
Cool. Loved the update. I am hoping Dana gets the nerve to win her back. PPS.
Great breakup. (now THAT sounds strange)I understand why dananalice wished Dana had initiated it- but it’s not surprising that Lara had too… and we already saw that emotionally Dana was there. The fact that still Lara had to pull it from her was emblematic. What did Alice say last chapter? “Don’t know why i thought you might save us the time and energy and just TELL me what your feeling?” :)I’m looking forward to Alice’s reaction to learning that Dana and Lara have broken up. Poor Alice, she’s toast. : )
lara had some great lines and words of wisdom in this installment. i am glad they broke up, but i kind of wish dana would have done it. but i think through the break up lara talked some sense in to her and dana realizes that she needs to grow up. as usual – great update. post soon and i look forward to some cute danish moments.
Sweet, I think I’m first! Loved it as I always do. I’m glad Lara finally put herself first. Hopefully Dana takes her advice. As for Alice and Jules…if you insist on having them do the horizontal bop, could you possibly have Jules yell out “Motherfucker!” at random intervals? Just a thought (it’d make my week). Anyway, great chapter, and I smell a Danish reconciliation on the way. I hope. Because all the suspense is making me nuts.
This is up the top of my list of fav danish fanfic, I do agree with other ppl that jules can’t be that perfect there has got to be something about her and I think Dana should try and find out more about her. Alice and Dana need to get together soon this is killing me I just want to bang there heads together!! Great fanfic PPS
