    If I Fall: Chapter 6

    “Sit down, please,” Dana hated that she sounded so formal and tried to seem more relaxed as she plopped down on loveseat after Alice wisely chose the couch. “So what’s up?”

    “I just came to apologize for this afternoon.”

    Dana immediately waved her off. “It’s fine, really. Like I said, I probably deserved it.”

    “Dana, God, of course you didn’t deserve it. No one deserved that. I made a mockery of myself and did it by embarrassing the shit out of you. And, I don’t know, I’m sorry, it was stupid and it wasn’t totally me doing the talking, you know?

    It took a moment for Dana to understand what Alice was referring to, but the realization hit her and she couldn’t help but confirm her suspicions. “You mean the pills,” she asked cautiously.

    Alice knew Dana was only inquiring because she cared, but she couldn’t help but notice the disappointing tone in the athlete’s voice. And this made Alice unable to look her in the eye. “Yeah, I um…I guess they’re still affecting me more than I care to admit.”

    ”So why take them?” the question was out of her mouth before she had a chance to consider that it might alienate Alice even more.

    “Because I need them…,” she trailed off, remembering how many times they had had this exact conversation before the breakup.  

    “But Al,”

    “Look, I didn’t come here to do this with you again, okay?”

    “Alright, I’m…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean—,” Dana’s voice was barely audible.

    “It’s fine Dana…I just want you to know that I’m going to make a conscious effort to not freak out with you anymore like I did today. And I can’t promise anything, but I’m really going to try to be okay with the idea of being around you. I mean, I’m gonna try to not run off…or drive off, as the case may be, every time you enter the room.

    “Really?” Dana’s tone was as sincere and hopeful as Alice had ever remembered hearing it. She couldn’t help but melt a little when she saw those blue eyes widen and gain a speck of optimism at her words.

    “Yeah, I want…” Alice stopped herself, unsure if she should finish her thought out loud.

    1. Cute danish comments at the beginning of the story.The “peeper” scene was one of the few times that I felt bad for Dana. It made me cringe when I saw it, and when I read it. Man, Alice was in bad shape, and she couldn’t stop herself. I love that they are finally on the road to friendship, though I expect it to be rocky. Thanks so much for the update!I have no willpower when it comes to fanfic. I either find myself running late for work in the morning because of an update, or in this case, late for a Christmas party. I think I have 9 minutes to get ready, but it was soooooooooo worth it! Happy Holidays.

    2. I don’t know why you’re not entirely happy with this, I think it’s fabulous. I love the explanation as to how Helena and Alice became friends, and of course the danish comments…I did that too, a few chapters back in my story, and laughed the whole time I was typing it out. Anyway, I’m rambling but I love the direction you’re taking this, and it’s making more and more sense as it goes on. You make it realistic and true tothe characters, which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for the original version. Thanks for posting this, have a good holiday and congrats on getting through your finals!

    3. I don’t see anything to dislike in this chapter. I enjoyed it; I thought it was realistic and the pace is right. Small moves, for the both of them, but actually a giant leap from where Al and Dana had been. We’ll have to see how they get on next time at the Planet. Good on you for getting through your finals, post soon, and have a Happy Christmas. Cheers!

    4. If only something like this had happened in the show :( you have no reason not to be 100% happy with this because it’s amazing. You have me laughing one minute, pausing for deep thought, almost in tears the next it’s just brilliant and it seems to explain a lot of things that we didnt see in the show. I too love how Helena and Alice became friend, I can so picture that happening, however don’t slate starbucks coffee, I use it every day at work :P xx
