“I’m sorry, Alice. I didn’t mean it the way it sounded.” She said earnestly. “But do you think this is what Dana wanted for you?” Alice didn’t respond. She just stared at Bette, the anger pounding inside her. “Of course it wasn’t. She loved you. She’d want you to be happy.”
“I can’t be happy without her. I don’t want to be happy without her.” Alice spoke with a strained voice, very unlike her. It was shaking with anger and the sadness that had become permanent in her voice and her whole appearance. “Can I be alone now?”

At times, she was sure she saw Dana walking down the street, or lingering in the corner of her eye. As much as Alice hated it, some memories of Dana started to get blurry. Sometimes she couldn’t recall how Dana’s voice sounded, or the features in her face. She could remember the small things, the small gestures and the small characteristics in her face. But Dana as a whole started to fade. As much as Alice fought against it, her own memory fought against her.

Alice held Dana’s hand as she died. She was heavily sedated, but Alice whispered sweet nothings into her ear, hoping that Dana somehow could hear her. Now and then Alice put some lotion on Dana’s very dry lips. Sharon Fairbanks was sitting on the other side of the bed, seeming completely paralysed. Her husband was wandering the hospital, coming in and then leaving. He wasn’t able to stand the sight of his daughter in this condition for long, so he soon left again.
As she stroked Dana’s forehead, Alice noticed how Dana was getting increasingly colder. Slowly, her lips became white. Then, suddenly, she drew a hard, wheezing breath and Alice could see a few drops of blood appear on her lips. Dana’s eyes opened. Alice and Mrs. Fairbanks quickly rose to their feet to try and get eye contact with Dana, but she was staring right up into the ceiling and didn’t react on their movements above her. Her breaths became more and more shallow, until finally only her mouth opened and closed, but no breaths came out. As Dana drew her last breaths, Alice leaned down, stilling holding on to Dana with her right hand.

Vaya – thank you so much. Your story gave Dana and Alice a sense of closure that I didn’t get from the show. They deserved the chance to battle Dana’s cancer together.
Man, you made me cry. (*sniffles)

I have some tear in my eyes this was a great post and I just hope that they all deal with it a bit better in the show great post I love it
Great post! I’m with ackemat in that it gave me a sense of closure I didn’t get from the show. And even though it’s a harsh reality, I hated the fact that Dana died alone. Very well written and I loved how went from the present and flashed back to Dana and Alice in the hospital. It made it seem more real. Great job!
Fantastic, I agree with Vaya as well
