If I Fall: Chapter 4
Alice’s Apartment
Dana sat nervously on the edge of the sofa as Alice busied herself in the kitchen making popcorn for the movie she thought they were about to watch. When she strolled back into the living room whistling to herself with popcorn in hand, Dana couldn’t help but notice how adorable she looked, and her heart immediately dropped. She’d never seen anyone make a green sweater vest seem like the sexiest piece of clothing in the world, and the glasses perched on her nose made her almost irresistible. Suddenly, all of Dana’s formidability and resolve that she had clung to while Lara had driven her over there had just disappeared. She glanced quickly out the window and saw Lara’s car still running out front. ‘Fuck’, Dana thought, ‘I can’t do this…I can’t hurt her like this…I just-‘
“Woah, where’d you go just now?”
Dana was shaken from her thoughts. “Huh?” She looked up at a confused Alice, who just smiled affectionately and bent down to kiss her cheek.
“I just asked you’d rather watch 13 Going On 30…or Kill Bill? And you just completely zoned out. I mean, it’s not that difficult a question, it just comes down to your mood, really.”
Dana’s mind was still reeling as Alice spoke to her. She tried to pay attention to the conversation at hand, but it just all seemed so pointless. Everything seemed pointless to Dana when she considered the amount of pain she was about to induce on the writer.
“Sooo, which is it?” Alice walked over to her entertainment center and scanned her collection for the right movie.
“Um…Al?”
“I mean, what type of mood are you in? Violent and gory, or sappy and cheesy? Personally, I’m feeling a bit violent and gory myself, but knowing you we’ll probably be watching 13 Going on 30 until the DVD wears out.”
Dana opened her mouth to say something, but had difficulty finding her voice. She watched Alice, whose back was turned to her as she frantically searched for the movie that would make Dana happiest, and her heart jumped up to her throat. She abruptly stood up and walked over to the window to try to calm her nerves. As she stood there trying to find her words, she felt the first unshed tears involuntarily sting her eyes.

Damn. I think you’ve outdone yourself with this one. I was in tears, and fanfic barely ever does that to me. And thanks for the compliment, although it’s undeserved…Danish needs justice because of the way they ended, and that’s that. This was incredibly moving and tragic, and I love the fact that you had dana leave for Alice’s own good instead of her own insecurities.
Wow! This was really sad. I cried when I first saw the break up and you made me feel all over again the same pain. Thanks for the emotions, they felt so real it hurts.
Man, from the euphoria of my J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets – to the despair of my danish…You nailed it. As much as I wish I could be disappointed in Dana, I can understand why she needed to break away from Alice, but I also understand why Alice was crushed by Dana’s desertion. All I can do right now is sigh. It would be so much more fun to have Dana have to watch Alice eventually move on without her if she didn’t get cancer and die. I guess that’s why I read fanfic. Their love lives on – even when they’re not together. I wonder how long it will take for Lara the vulture to pounce.Great job! Keep it up!
OMG this is just so tragic and heartbreaking and bloody well written at the same time! Your writing amazes me. xx
Even knowing what’s going to happen, it’s still really tough to take. Poor Alice, poor Dana. Well written, swiss. Post soon.
I’m not sure how I missed this one, but I am all caught up and this is fantastic and heartbreaking. You’re doing a wonderful job my friend. You did the scene justice. So my question is, when do they get back together??? lol. Great job. Looking forward to the next chapter. PPS
This is such a remarkably well written chapter … I have enjoyed the previous 3 chapters … but this really gave so much weight to the existing material. Keep going … I can’t wait for the next update.
