If I Fall: Chapter 19
Alice’s eyes darted to Lara’s hands to find half an onion still in tact while the rest of it had already fallen prey to the sharp knife hovering over it. "Oh, ha ha, right. The whole onion making you cry thing. Not much of a cook myself actually," she laughed nervously, tucking a single strand of hair behind her ear and trying to figure out what to say next.
Lara waited a few moments, hoping that Alice would reveal the reason she’d come back there and instigated such an awkward encounter. But when she didn’t, Lara felt the need to move things along. "So…did you need something," she slowly inquired.
"Um, well," she began as she moved closer. "I just…I guess I wanted to just say I’m sorry."
"Sorry?"
"About you and Dana."
"Right, thanks." Lara scoffed, her tone dripping in sarcasm.
"Excuse me?"
Lara put the knife down and turned around to look Alice in the eyes. "Okay, I didn’t mean that to sound as harsh as it did. I just meant…I’d understand if you really weren’t too upset that Dana is single again."
"Lara, you know I’m in a relationship right?" Alice couldn’t believe how blunt the woman was being.
Lara couldn’t help but roll her eyes before turning back to focus on chopping the onion once more. "Sure Alice, I know." Again the facetious tone, and again it wasn’t lost on Alice. It was then that she felt this had to be a losing proposition and started to leave.
"Well, okay then," the writer said as she put her hand on the door.
"You know why we broke up, right?" Lara asked without even turning around to face her.
This stopped Alice in her tracks as she turned back around and replied to the question. "No actually, I don’t."
"I broke it off with her because I was tired of sharing her with you Alice."
"Well I assure you that I’m not trying to win her back or anything. You don’t have to share her."
"I don’t have much of a choice," she sighed. "No matter what you two say you are to each other, there’s always going to be something there between you that you both just can’t let go of."

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!
This has been a fantastic past few days for Danish readers,
