Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter Two
Lara knew she needed to open her mouth. “Uh, yeah.”
“Yeah.” Surprised, Dana added, “Hey, Lara you wrote all of the nutritional information for the whole meal. Thanks. God, I can totally eat this. It’s nearly calorie-free. But look at all this food.”
Dana was bent and her head and neck were just below Lara’s. Lara breathed in her scent and felt herself flush. “You’re still wearing that fragrance? It’s really spectacular on you. Really.”
Dana turned her head and grinned at her. “Thanks.” She cleared her throat and turned back to the meal plan. “There’s a lot of variety in breakfast. Frankly, I’m sick of bran muffins and an apple or banana everyday.”
“Well, I thought about you and what you might need.”
“You think about me?” Dana asked intrigued, but it came out like a seduction.
Lara couldn’t help herself. She had to touch her. Her hand came up to rest on Dana’s back and she gently rubbed it, exhaling a breath of satisfaction to feel this back she was once so familiar with. Dana felt something, too and if she didn’t extricate herself from it, she knew she’d end up leading Lara to Alice’s bed. She stood up straight. “Lara?” she whispered.
“I’m sorry, Dana. I want to be your friend, but it’s really hard. I still want you so much.”
Dana loved Alice, she knew this, but she had strong feelings for Lara. Being with Lara wasn’t like it was with Tonya. Tonya was overbearing and Dana felt like she was on an out-of-control ride with her, not really aware of where the ride was taking her, but unable to get it to stop. She and Lara had been romantic, fun, exciting, and different. Lara had been the first woman that Dana had truly wanted in a long time who wanted her just as much. It had been at the wrong time. If they had only started out a few months later, they would have had a relationship that worked. But she loved Alice. She really loved her. “If I hadn’t screamed at you that day at the Club…” Dana shook her head. “I’ll never forget the look on your face. God, I was so pissed that you were acting hurt when all you were doing was hurting me. But I knew I was wrong, Lara. I so knew that you were right.”

Seems like with Bette and Tina its they always need to talk. A person in a coma can still hear, ,radio,TV,and human voices. Bette needs to tak,and talk and talk. Tina always loved Bettes voice. thanks
Ooooh–Bette is a wench for saying that about Tina, but I understand the frustration and doubt she must be feeling about Tina’s recovery. I love your footnotes!
The L Word 3: The Missing 6 Months! Thank you for taking on this task. To quote Nelly (and DeBarge): “I like it,(I know you like it)I like it,I really,really like it.I want it,adore it.” …Glad you’re back! Keep up the good work! Reading your writing is my pleasure!
As much as I love Bette…and I do, she is my favorite character…I think that was an incredibly selfish thing for her to say…that she thinks Tina is in a coma because she is somehow punishing her. Geez Bette! Thanks!
i hope tina will wake up soon and see her baby, so she and bette can start their family again
I have to agree with Seahurst…Bette is so egocentric and selfish. And, she is my favorite character. Her vows included in sickness and in health.
When a loved one is in a coma for a long period of time, your own brain begins to wonder why this is happening. You begin to fight within your ownself as to why the person you love is still in this state. In this case Bette can not understand why Tina is not there (awake) and by now she is struggling with life in general. Why is it that some people can wake up within a matter of hours while others never wake up? Tina is there, she somehow has to pull herself out of the gray fog. Hopefully with the new faculities she will get the needed therapy.
Well, is Bette using daring Tina to wake up by saying that?
she has to keep talking to her… tina can hear … coma patients can hear whats going on around them.. so bette needs to keep telling tina all about angielica and the girls and how much she loves her… bette had to stop the negitively… just positive things to get tina back…keep it going… please continue
No one can say how you will respond to a loved one on a coma. It must be totaly devestating. I personaly don’t think that Bette’s remark is selfish at all. It may be irrational, but think one’s mind goes into overdrive when you fear lossing the one they love. I cried while reading this story. (Sorry, I am a Tina fan) Please let Tina be alright. let her wake up! Lovely Story!!
when my dad passed away he was sick before hand for a long time…the last day he slowly fell into a coma, anyway, my point being is that they tell you even though the person in a coma can’t respond, the hearing is the last thing to go. They can hear you as you talk to them…and so I talked and talked…Bette get off your confused horse and TALK. Again, we have not had a bountiful story like this to sink our teeth into for awhile…THANKYOU
