If I Fall: Chapter 17
"Wow."
"Yeah, she told me I need to grow up and start owning up to my feelings, no matter how scary they are. Something about not giving into the fear so that I can live my life the way I want to."
"I guess Lara knows you better than I thought…Hmm, so much for closure, huh?"
"What?" Dana asked, lifting her head to look at the other woman, her tone underlined with a defensiveness that alerted Alice this conversation was likely headed down a path that could lead to no good, and fast.
"Well, you know…," she began cautiously, "you walked out on me to go seek closure with Lara, and this is where it got you. I guess closure’s not all it’s cracked up to be. I mean, now you’re just alone." Alice didn’t intend to sound so harsh. Or maybe she did, but just wasn’t able to admit that she was still kind of pissed about the way Dana just left her. For the most part she had moved past it, and it wasn’t like she was living everyday with the anger and resentment she had felt right after the breakup. But after their confrontation this afternoon, and Dana’s inadvertent ruining of what could have been the perfect night for Alice and Jules to be together, censoring herself to spare Dana’s feelings wasn’t exactly high on her list of priorities right now.
Dana winced at the writer’s words and her vulnerability was evidently painted all over her face. "That was harsh."
"Yeah well, so were you," Alice snapped back, turning away from Dana and staring at a picture of the two of them Dana kept on her mantle. It was taken years before they ever got together, on the night of a surprise birthday party Dana had thrown for Alice at The Planet. Alice recalled the night perfectly in her mind, how happy she was when she considered all the time Dana had spent organizing a perfect birthday for her. It was a time when Alice was completely sure just how Dana felt about her, and that nothing would ever change that. And although it filled her with absolute joy when she thought about that night and that time in their friendship, she also couldn’t shake the feelings of frustration and anger when considering the state of their relationship now.

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!
simply put – well done!
