If I Fall: Chapter 18
"A mistake?"
Dana laughed to herself, still not turning around to face her friend. Determined to get this confession out before it broke her and she couldn’t go on any further. "Yes, a rather large mistake. And I need your help fixing it." She still couldn’t bring herself to removing her gaze from the window, so she had to rely only on her aural senses to gage Shane’s reaction. She heard the stylist stir in her chair and take a deep breath before responding.
"Dane…"
"Shane, please," she whipped around to meet her friend’s eyes with tears filling up her own. "Just hear me out okay?"
Shane didn’t like the sound of this. As much as she wanted to yell and scream at both Alice and Dana that they were being stubborn and pig-headed and afraid, she had no desire to be put any more in the middle than she already was. But part of being a good friend was doing stuff she didn’t always necessarily agree with if, especially if it meant her friend was happy. And one look at Dana made her sure that nothing about her lately screamed ‘happy’. "Alright," she reluctantly conceded. "Go ahead."
"I need your help."
"With?" Shane fixed her gaze on Dana’s, fearing the answer she was about to hear was going to be one that put her right smack dab in the middle of her and Alice’s tumultuous, strained relationship.
Dana meekly smiled, raising her eyebrows ever so slightly, and moved closer to her friend. She sat down in the empty chair across from her and planted the palms of her hands securely down on the tabletop. "With helping me get Alice back."

Outside Jules’ Apartment Building
"Fuck!" Alice yelled to no one in particular, throwing the cell phone down onto her passenger seat and gripping the steering wheel tighter. She’d been sitting outside of Jules’ apartment for the past half hour, and calling her for twice as long. After the first three attempts made from her own apartment were unsuccessfully routed directly to voicemail, she decided to drive over to Jules’ apartment hoping to speak to her in person. It was a good idea in theory, but not necessarily in practice. Not only was there was no answer at the door, but the singer’s car couldn’t even be found in the parking lot. Alice worriedly scanned the lot once more, to no avail, and it was suddenly clear that Jules never made it home last night. "Where the hell are you Julianna?"

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.
