If I Fall: Chapter 21b
"Fuck you Al, the door’s stuck, okay," she replied, not taking her eyes or hands off the stubborn plank of wood before her. Suddenly she felt a jolt from behind and watched as Alice pushed her out of the way and took her place near the door.
"I doubt it’s stuck," she mumbled, grabbing the knob and turning it fervidly. "What’s the matter? The big, tough athlete can’t—," And what happened next completely shut her up as she was forced to watch the knob fly off the door and land two feet behind her on the floor.
After the quick moment of shock wore off, Dana managed to stifle her laughter, but was entirely unable to bite back the smirk that was playing across her lips. "You were saying?"
"Fuck, this must be why Helena didn’t want anyone up here."
"Why, so you wouldn’t break her door?"
"Funny, Dana," Alice said, rolling her eyes in the athlete’s direction. "The lock was apparently broken before either one of us got up here. The workers must have done something to it."
"Well there, Encyclopedia Brown, you’ve solved the mystery. Now what?"
Alice decided that now wasn’t the time for Dana to suddenly develop a knack for sarcasm. "How the hell am I supposed to know? We can’t get out." She bent down and grabbed the derelict door knob, failing miserably in her attempt to fix it back onto the door.
"I guess well just have to wait until someone comes up here and lets us out." Dana shrugged casually, although on the inside, she felt the excitement rising in her chest at the idea of being stuck in such a close space with Alice.
"Nuh-uh, no way. I’m not spending the whole party locked up here in a bathroom with you." She shook her head emphatically, trying to remind not only Dana, but also herself, that it wasn’t a good idea at all.
And for her part, Dana tried as best she could not to show the sharp tinge of disappointment she felt from Alice’s last words. Sighing to herself, she said, "I remember a time when you would have actually preferred that."

Encyclopedia brown? Very funny. This has to be one of the most memorable bathroom scene that I have ever read. D’s confession was genuine and touching. How can A not take her back after that. And it was longest speech I had ever seen D spoke. That was mind blowing. Well done, swissmiss24. Thank you for bringing them back together for even just a moment. I guess things must hit rock bottom before getting better. I had conflicting feelings of Helena interrupting. But what she said to D should shed a light on D the pain the A had endured. I can’t wait for your next post. Thank you so very much.
Thanks for continuing. It’s going to be interesting to see what it finally takes for Al to let Dana back in. I’m looking forward to the next chapter.
Yay, I don’t have to kick your ass! Which I couldn’t do anyway, but still. I absolutely loved it, same as always. But I’m really getting anxious for this “happy Danish” you keep alluding to. And don’t worry, I’m planning a trip out there after L3! I’ve been antisocial too long!
Thank you, swismiss!! What delightful Danish… Please keep writing. I am not sure what happened to Fripster and I would hate to lose you or Muted… ;-D “Encyclopedia Brown” — Soooooo Dana! I love how Dana articulated herself. “And I don’t want you to be my teacher Alice, I want you to be my partner” — Swoon. I think Jules is wonderful, but, my heart belongs to Danish. I’m kinda glad Helena barged in. I think Alice would have felt bad if anything more had happened. She needs to come to the realization that Dana is there for her and is the right choice without too much guilt — although I know she will feel bad for hurting Jules. Thank you again for the great update!!
i will probably read this every day until you post again. so please post soon. ny, huh? i am a part time new yorker now – i have to go there part of the week for an indefinite period. i am excited. i love new york. well that was an excellent update – i love that we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. they were so cute, i love how dana laid it all out on the line.
WOW!!! How could Alice not take her back after that heartfelt confession? Jules is great and all but she doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. It’s just a matter of time before Alice completely gives in and goes back to Dana. Great update, please post soon.
