If I Fall: Chapter 18
Bits and pieces of the previous night would come flooding back to her in brief flashes. Flashes of tequila, flashes of the silent car ride home, flashes of her lips pressing against Alice’s and their bodies starting to meld into one. She couldn’t remember exactly how the night had ended, but she did wake up feeling inexorably troubled and out of sorts. With such a nauseating anxiety buried deep in the pit of her stomach, Dana knew it couldn’t have turned out that well. Also, she figured if the kiss did manage to end on a note anything but sour, she’d at least be waking up with Alice beside her, sleeping soundly in her own comatose little world. But that wasn’t the case. She woke up alone, and after realizing what had happened, she scrambled for her cell phone, but there wasn’t one missed call from the writer.
She sleepily sauntered out of bed and made her way into the kitchen, where she opened the cabinets in a frantic, yet slow, search for some instant coffee. And after the exhausting task of filling up a mug and throwing it in the microwave, she sluggishly sat down and hit memory 2 on her cell phone.
"Yeah?" the groggy voice on the other end answered.
"Shane? Hey, did I wake you?"
"Nah. Lucky for you I just missed a call from Al about 2 minutes ago. That was actually what woke me up."
"Alice called you?" Dana felt instantly panicked, but also frighteningly curious to see what sort of conversation had transpired between the two.
"Yeah…why?"
"Did you talk to her?
"Well, like I said Dane, it was a missed call. So, no."
"Oh," she mumbled quietly, the disappointment evident in her tone.
"Is everything okay?"
"No," she sighed. "I mean yeah, I guess I’m okay, it’s just…not really."
Shane knew right away that this was going to require a lot more than a quick phone conversation. She hadn’t listened to Alice’s voice mail yet, but it was unlike either one of them to call her so early on the weekend, especially since they knew she was typically not sleeping alone. "Alright, you want to meet me at The Planet in twenty minutes?"

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.
