If I Fall: Chapter 18
"Dane," Shane began, shaking her head slowly, "this is highly unfair, to everyone involved."
"I know Shane, I know what a selfish coward I am. But God, if I could just have one more chance to make it up to her. To show Alice what she means to me and that my heart belongs to her…forever, I’ll make it right. I swear I will.
She took another sip of coffee and contemplated for a moment. "Okay look, let’s just say I agree to help you." At this Dana’s eyes began to widen "Hypothetically," Shane interjected. "I’m not sure where I’d even fit in."
Dana silently nodded. "Well, see, I’m pretty sure Alice isn’t really that trusting of me anymore when it comes to how I feel. Regardless of what I said to her last night, I’m sure she just thought it was all lip service."
"Can you blame her?"
"No, of course not. She’s perfectly justified in doubting me, I get that."
"Okay…," she drawled, still not understanding her role in all this.
"Well, that’s where I’d need your help." Shane raised her eyebrows and Dana continued. "I need you to help me get Alice to believe what I feel for her is true, and that it’s not going to just go away. I want her to understand that I plan on being there for her no matter what—to believe me when I say I’m in this for the long haul."
"Dana, how can I convince Al of that when I’m not even sure I believe it. I mean, are you even sure you believe it?"
"Yes, of course I do! I’ve known it all along, but I…," she trailed off and continued quietly. "I guess I just didn’t know how to acknowledge it. Like, I was afraid of Alice’s love for me because I didn’t think I could return it like she needed. But if she lets me, I’ll do everything I can to do just that."
Shane let out a heavy sigh and looked blankly back at Dana. "Are you really sure this is what you want? Because if you have any doubts at all, you better work that out before you go messing with her life right now."

Damn right she can…although the Julish reconciliation vexes me, mostly because I too am waiting for the other shoe to drop and Dana to get flat-out rejected and heartbroken. It’s wrong of me to want them to reconcile and be happy when they haven’t worked through their stuff, but dammit they freaking need to. Oh, and don’t feel obligated to post. I’m assuming you’ll be busy with law-school-esque things, and those take precedence over any type of Danish fiction. Think of your career! Wow, I’m really rambling. This is what not sleeping for three days will do to your brain.
Great update – with Shane on the job, I hope she can make them come together. PPS
god i want alice to be happy she deserves it so much…and dana is it but i like jules too shes a great character..buuuuuut dana its always been dana and always will thats what i reckon anyway lol i love this story so much you write so well good job:)
Someone has been busy writing! (yay for us readers – though I get the impression it is going to get worse for danish before it gets better…
screw your career. POST soon dammit! man… i have a headache. I hear Alice and Shane talking and think- Dana really did foul this up– and i’m still not sure why- and what’s changed, really? why SHOULD Alice believe her– other than she really wants to and loves her. i’m mad at dana. but i also adore her and don’t want her heartbroken plus i know she is who Alice needs and wants…. see-this is why you need to post. i am looking forward to seeing how Dana handles seeing Alice with Jules that evening- i’ll wring her neck if she runs. : )
i love this story. it’d be too much to hope that shane taped dana’s confession right? that’d be an asshole move, but alice needs to hear everything dana said. argh.
The only thing I don’t like about each chapter of your story is that eventually each one ends. I just want them to go on and on! I look forward to the next update as time permits.
