If I Fall: Chapter 17
Alice couldn’t help but laugh at the expected irony of the situation, mumbling to herself, "What a surprise." She wasn’t sure if Dana heard her, nor did she really care. She was tired of being right about the athlete’s incapability to love and to be loved, and at this point there was just nothing Alice could do to change that.
Yet, the athlete suddenly halted in her tracks, growing extremely stiff and rigid after the words were uttered. The writer noticed immediately as her eyes never left the back of Dana’s head, and slowly she saw that Dana was turning around to face her. For her own part, Dana was just as sick of proving Alice right as Alice was of being proven that way. And while she knew that everything Alice had said was true, she understood that walking away would just feed into that. Now would have to be a good a time as any to start showing Alice that she was wrong about her, and about them. So, with all the courage she could muster up, she took a deep breath, steadied herself, and marched determinedly back to where the writer stood.
Alice was watching her every move, shocked that Dana had actually stopped in her retreat, but trying her best not to let her see that surprise. And now she was marching back towards her, with an unreadable expression on her face, but getting closer by the second. Admittedly, it scared her a bit. She could usually figure out Dana’s next move, simply because it almost always included her walking away. But now it seemed like the athlete had a motive and purpose with every step she took. And not knowing what would happen next put Alice on pins and needles.
Once the space between the two was practically non-existent, Dana placed both hands on either side of Alice’s face. This contact, of course, startled the writer and she looked up at Dana wide-eyed, waiting for her next move. The athlete simply looked back down at her, smiled slightly, and sighed heavily.
"You want to know what I want?"
Alice could do nothing but nod silently.
"And you want to know how I feel?"

awesome. i am so excited to see what happens next.
Oh man my heart is breakin here, this was a great chapter!!, I hope Dana doesn’t give up though, thanks for the post!!
Fantastic chapter – Dana can’t give up on Alice – what a pity she was so stoned – as things might have been a bit different. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
OMG…that was intense. I was holding my breath untill the end of this chapter! What is their next move? What will Alice tell Jules? And how will ‘ sober’ Dana act around Alice the next time they see each other?
Okay, I haven’t even read past the first page yet, but I have to comment and say that I’m a little freaked out. After work this morning I decided to have a Tarantino marathon, and right before I checked the main page I’d just finished watching Pulp Fiction. Needless to say, I’m feeling a little spooked as well as amused by the word “motherfucker” in this. Okay, I’m gonna go read the rest and leave more feedback later. Ta.
Okay, I read it and have returned to comment again. You’re a fucking heartbreaker, you know that?? I’m seriously crying over here. Poor Dana, poor Alice, and even poor Jules, but she’s a bad mother fucker so she’ll get over it. Well, if there’s anything to get over, which there had better be because Alice and Dana need to be together.
First things first it happened at 4am…that was magical, next I am so glad that Dana actually told Alice how she feels but for some reason I don’t think Jules is just going to sit back and let it Dana and Alice happen. This chapter would have to have an 11/10 if I could do that. Fantastic PPS.
Wow! As much as my heart breaks for Dana, I understand Alice’s need to protect herself. Jules is a saint and all, but I wonder how she will react when Alice finally finds her. She gets it. Not only does Dana belong to Alice, (I loved that line), but Alice belongs to Dana too!Go Tennessee!
Wow that was just perfect I can’t wait to see wat happens next
Ouch you are killing me here. PPS. You can’t leave us hanging like that, not nice.
I think we know the real reason Alice and Jules haven’t slept together yet *nudge nudge* , so when he and Alice eventually have the talk about ‘Dana’ will he admit his secret? hehe ok I love this, I truly do, I want it to never end. :) xx
damn! poor dana :S she finally opens to alice but guess it was too late :( i just want jules to disappear…:P well not really but frak! i just want danish together :( can’t wait for your next chapter :D
fanfrikintastic!!!!!
And so it begins…Love this…you have definately captured Danish Angst…Dana needs to really step it up! Great Chapter! PPS!
