If I Fall: Chapter 18
"Dane, I don’t like this."
"Shane, please. I promise this is a good thing. Don’t you want to see us back together?"
"You know I do. But I’m not sure trickery and manipulations are the way to do it."
"I’m not gonna manipulate her! I just need to find out how much work I have to do to win her back. I’m here Shane, I’m not going anywhere. Alice is it for me and I foolishly didn’t realize what I had until I actually didn’t have it anymore. It was just too much for me to handle last time, but this time I swear I’ll make things right. I’m gonna be the woman she deserves."
"Dana, Alice never wanted anything more than for you to just be you. You know that, right?"
"I didn’t. But I do now. And I’ll show her that I’m ready for this. I was stupid and scared and overwhelmed before. But now I know that love is supposed to be scary and overwhelming, and if I have Alice, suddenly those things don’t seem so bad."
"That sounds great, but you need to tell Alice this, not me."
"I will. I plan to. I just need to find out where she’s at right now with this so that I don’t screw it up even more."
Shane sighed and resignedly shook her head. "Alright."
"Alright…as in you’ll help me?"
"Yeah…I’m in. But only under one condition."
"What’s that?" Dana could hardly contain the smile forming widely on her face.
"Lay off the tequila. I don’t need you trying to kiss me if the bartender calls me the next time someone needs to come pick your drunk ass up at a bar."

Jules’ Apartment
After a few more minutes of going back and forth outside the front entrance of the apartment building, Jules finally agreed to take their discussion upstairs to her place, where they wouldn’t be constantly interrupted by incoming building tenants.
Alice was seated patiently on her living room sofa, waiting for Jules to re-emerge from the kitchen with coffee in hand.
"Alice, I just don’t want to play second fiddle to Dana or anyone else. If this thing isn’t done between you two, you need to go deal with that. I can’t be in a relationship with someone whose heart is elsewhere." She somberly handed Alice her coffee and sat down beside her.

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.
