If I Fall: Chapter 9
"Cause…," Shane started slowly, "you know today is her birthday, right?"
"Of course I know that! I’ve only been celebrating it with her every year for basically the past decade."
"Well does she know that?"
"That it’s her birthday, Shane? Yeah, I’m sure Alice has some idea."
"No Dana, I mean does she know that you’ve remembered what today is?"
"If you mean have I called her and wished her a happy birthday, than no I haven’t." Dana noticed the disapproving look cross both Shane and Carmen’s faces that each tried to conceal. "Look you guys, Alice is still pissed at me, and rightfully so. Yeah she said she wants to be friends and start fresh, but she hasn’t exactly done anything to support that. She still barely even looks at me when we’re in the same room. That is, if she does take a break from her obviously too busy schedule and make an appearance lately. It still seems that she’s just trying to forget what happened between us, or maybe that I even exist, so why would I remind her of that on her birthday of all days? It’s just going to hurt her and I’ve already done that enough."
"Dane, no one wants Alice to be hurt even more, but I doubt she’s able to forget that you even exist. Besides, why would she have come over and told you she wanted to be friends again if that wasn’t what she really wanted," Carmen offered and reached across the table to grab Dana’s hand. "We know that it sucks right now and that you never meant for it to get this bad, but letting Alice know that you care and you’re thinking about her today can’t hurt her anymore than just ignoring it."
Dana looked down at her plate and blinked back the tears that were beginning to form. "I know Carm, and you’re right. It’s just so fucking hard."
"No harder than what Alice is going through," Shane muttered. This was all it took to set Dana off as the tears began to fall openly for her friends to see. "Jesus Christ, Dane, I’m sorry. I know this sucks for you, but it sucks for us too. You guys are my best friends and I hate that you can’t even be around each other anymore. Hey…why don’t you come to the party tonight?"

I’m liking this more and more every time you post, so yay or something. And I knew I could spot a fellow Helacious fan…but it’s so hard to write her properly while Dana’s still (rightfully) around. Well, for me it is, anyway. And you’re right, I do feel even worse for Lara, although I think she’s kinda digging her own grave by trying to be supportive. Poor soup chef just can’t win no matter what she does. Anyway, I hope Dana gets her head clear about the relationship she’s currently in before she goes making trouble with Alice’s new one…and yeah, I still like Jules. Please make her say “motherfucker” at least once, will ya?
Poor soup chef muted? Poor soup chef my ass! If you ask me she’s the only thing keeping danish apart right now, that and Jules who seems to perfect to be true, can you make her have a penis or something so Alice can break up with her and danish get back together? Ok maybe not that, your story is doing ickedly awesome without my ‘ideas’. You describe Dana perfectly, there’s no other word aside perfect. I just hope she can get her shit together and realise that Alice is the one for her and she truly won’t find another woman better for her. You know I would be kinda happy with Helacious in season 4 since Dana is no longer around, I’ll put it that way since it hurts less :( Now I’m just typing for the sake of typing so I’ll stop and say awesome post, I need more of it, so you must do as Bradshaw says and write more :D xx
…love it, please update.
Can’t wait for the party! I love where this is going! You’re doing a fantastic job my dear :D This was too short! I gotta know how the party goes damnit. lol. ok so great job and PPS. Oh and I’ll check for your PM. lol
De_leish – if Jules has a penis, she may be the perfect one for Alice, and we’ll never see danish again. lolI can’t feel sorry for Lara because she’s going against her own nature, and she knows that Dana still has feelings for Alice, but hey she got what she wanted. She got Dana back, but not all of her. Dana’s ability to avoid things strikes a little too close to home, so I’m going to leave her alone on that one. lolLet’s get this party started! Soon, please. :-)
