If I Fall: Chapter 4
“God Alice, this isn’t about Lara! Can’t you see this is about us?” Dana moved closer to stand in front of Alice, but afraid to reach out and touch her. She instead continued in a somber whisper as Alice refused to make eye contact. “This is about you and me, Al. This is about how deeply we care for each other. You used to trust me. And now…well, I just don’t want to sit back and watch years of friendship and love be undone by a few shitty months of jealousy and unhappiness.”
Alice finally met Dana’s eyes and the look she gave her made Dana feel like her heart was shattering into a million pieces. For the first time that night she witnessed the unveiled vulnerability and sadness that was painted all over Alice’s tear-soaked face. And the worst part was that Dana knew she was the reason for it.
“You’re…unhappy?” Alice asked with a crack in her voice.
Dana searched Alice’s eyes for a moment before replying, “Aren’t you?”
Alice slowly shook her head and closed her eyes, wishing this was all a horrible nightmare that she could just will herself out of. But when she opened them once again, Dana was still standing in front of her crying her own silent tears. Alice wanted to reach out and wipe them away for her, but stopped her impulse when she remembered just why those tears were there. This was it—the end of the road. Dana didn’t want to be with her anymore. She got too clingy and dependent and needy and now, just like the others, Dana was leaving her too. And all of her demons, the very ones that had scared Dana into leaving her, would now have to be battled by Alice and Alice alone. And to make matters worse, she wasn’t just losing the woman she loved more than her own life, but she was losing the best friend she had for the past seven years. How the hell could seven years of love and loyalty and trust be eradicated by a measly seven months? God, they weren’t even together for a year and Alice knew that her life would forever be changed by this relationship. It was a feeling mirrored by the one she felt when she met Dana all those years ago. Except at that time, she was unable to recognize those friendly feelings as ones of love. But this was it. It was over. Dana was leaving her all alone. And Alice figured she had no one to blame but herself.

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.
