If I Fall: Chapter 8
Helena didn’t really know Dana all too well, mostly just through stories Alice had told her and the little Tina had mentioned of her when they were dating. And while Dana seemed like a nice enough person, this didn’t really do much to sway Helena’s opinion of her. She only cared about her friend and the personal Hell she had gone through in the months after the breakup. Helena was a fiercely loyal person, and although she had encouraged Alice to befriend Dana again in the hope that that was what Alice needed to move on with her life, she wasn’t totally convinced that Dana even deserved that friendship. So while she had vowed to make every effort possible to be congenial and open-minded when it came to Dana Fairbanks, Helena still had her reservations about the woman who called herself Alice’s best friend.
Almost eerily on cue, Helena heard the front door open and the ladies in the living room greet Dana and Lara as they entered the house. She handed over the finished product in her hands to Carmen and helped her carry the utensils and plates into the living room before taking a beer and a seat next to Shane.
Shane stood up to greet the couple as Dana handed her an offering of beer in 12-pack form. At this Shane grinned and hugged Dana. “You didn’t have to bring anything, Dane,” she scolded and she graciously took the beer from her hands.
“I know, but it’s my way of saying thank you for helping me out last night,” Dana replied shyly.
Shane nervously glanced at Lara, who was ensconced in a conversation about what sounded like cooking with Helena. “So, is everything okay with you two now?”
Dana gave a small smile, but her eyes relayed a look of what seemed like melancholy. “Yeah, we talked last night when she came back and I think it’s okay.”
“You think?”
It was now Dana’s turn to glance nervously over at Lara before she turned back to Shane, moving in closer and lowering her voice. “It’s fine, really. There’s just some other stuff that…well, whatever, it’s not a big deal.”
“Dane, if you want to talk about it…”
“No,” Dana waved her off, “it’s fine really, it’s just some stuff I should figure out on my own, you know?”

LOL I’m glad you liked my Carrie rant and the only thing missing was the cosmo since I was smoking lol. However after the last cosmo incident I had I vowed not to drink them again for a very long time. Anyway back to what’s important, your story, your amazingly fantastic story. Jules, I half love her half hate her, she’s so damn cute and funny and perfcet and that’s great if I wasn’t such a danish lover. My heart is being torn betwene Alice’s sanity and a danish relationship, your making it sound like they belong apart because it’s easier on them both which makes me very sad :( I think Dana’s reaction was totally realistic to her character and if I was Lara I’d be major pissed off. Ok that’s enough ranting for now, awesome post, you’re putting me to shame big time. PPS xx
i feel bad for dana – she sounds so confused. but then at the same time i am happy for alice that jules sounds so awesome. thanks for posting so fast and ggreat job.
It seems like everyone on this site is trying to out me lately, in some form or another. First De_leish_ous outs me as a Danish perv, now you’ve outed me as a Jules fan…before long there won’t be any closets left to hide in. I really liked this one, you got a lot accomplished in only a few pages. I just have to ask…and feel free not to answer if you don’t want to, but…are you a Helacious fan, by chance? Just wondering. And as to Alice having a type, Jules does have dark hair, right? ;) I’m such a nerd, sorry. Anyway, you do a freaking fantastic job of getting into Dana’s head, and if I were Lara I’d be really pissed off right about now. You’ve managed to make me feel bad for the Soup Chef, so be proud!
Watching a Jet game with Patriot fans … sorry for you! Are you going to hang out with your Pats friends next week too? I find myself liking Jules a lot. She seems to have real depth. I hope she’s someone Alice can fall for.I think Dana doesn’t wants to be so selfish as to mess up things for Alice, but I’m sure she’ll blow up the thing with Jules – eventually.Go Helena! Speak the truth! :-D
Well let me start off by saying that you can never talk to me too much about music. lol. It’s pretty much my life :D Moving on to Jenny Lewis, I have met her several times and she is amazing and beautiful. I will have to tell you the story sometime of how we first met but it was awesome and hilarious and she’s fantastic! Very short though…which surprised me a bit…anyways, RK is my all time fav band and her solo album was excellent! PM sometime about them. Ok so on to the story. lol. This was awesome and I love where it’s headed. I don’t know how I missed this story but I am glad I found it. Keep up the great work and post again soon!
