If I Fall: Chapter 19
"Wow," Shane uttered as her eyes widened. "I’ve really underestimated you."
"Yeah well, story of my life," she laughed self-deprecatingly before growing serious. "So tell me, what gives? Did Dana ask you to find out how I feel about what happened last night? I have to admit Shane, I’m surprised you agreed to that. You’re really slipping in your old age."
"It’s hard to say no to a pretty girl?" It was a futile attempt at an excuse, asked more so than definitively stated. Alice once again rolled her eyes and sighed at the idea of Dana insinuating their best friend into the middle of the complicated little mess they created. "Look, all I told Dana was that I’d talk to you. I never consented to telling her anything that was said."
"Well it’s you’re lucky day because you won’t have to depend on that little technicality when you have nothing to report."
"Why’s that?"
"Cause I really don’t have anything to say about it, Shane."
"Al—," she protested.
Alice just shook her head defiantly. "No, I’m serious. Last night was…," she slowly trailed off, allowing herself for just one brief, flickering moment to revel in the memory of having Dana’s lips pressed against hers, to feel her toned arms wrapped tightly around her, and to recall the way the athlete’s soft caress felt as she brushed her hand against Alice’s cheek. But the fantastical memory ended quickly as the reality of the situation came flooding back. And with that reality came a deluge of fears and insecurities Alice had worked so hard at quelling for the past few months. She closed her eyes tightly and sighed with a slight shake of her head. "It was a mistake. Dana was drunk and I was upset and it was just one of those things that happens, you know?" She swallowed the end of her sentence and looked down at her coffee nervously, knowing full well that her explanation sounded no where near convincing enough for anyone to buy.
For her own part, the stylist noticed her friend’s trepidation immediately. It didn’t really take a rocket scientist to figure out that Alice was only saying what she thought she needed to, which realistically had nothing to do with how she actually felt. She may be content lying to herself, but Shane wasn’t about to let her off the hook that easy. "Actually, no, Al. I really don’t get how a kiss can just ‘happen’ like that. What’d you do? Trip and use her lips to stop you from falling?"

Am I first? Awesome. This is absofuckinglutely awesome, although I think you’re crazy for posting it the day before you graduate. Huge congrats on that, and as to writing Danish fic professionally, I’d kill for a career like that. Then again, you’re much more eloquent than I am, so maybe I should just deal with the fact that I have a boring job. Oh well. I love, love, love this so freaking much, and as much as I want them back together I think it’s good for Alice to try and stop that, at least initially. Still, you can’t stay away from your other half too long, even if your rebound girl is a bad mother fucker. Have fun getting that JD thingie, and post when you can.
Wow – a fantastic update, great to have more Danish writers back on line – but understand your absence and would like to offer my congratulatons on uyour graduation. Look forward to the next installment soon providing you don’t celebrate too hard.

First, congratulations on your graduation. I’ve been down that same road myself and appreciate how much effort your achievement represents. Second, another great chapter–the dialogue sounds very real, and it’s heartbreaking watching Alice struggle with letting herself believe that Dana still loves her. As much as I’m rooting for Dana and Danish, I’m also pulling for the rebuilding of Alice’s self-esteem. I’m looking forward to seeing how and if Danish can work their way back to each other. Great story!
