Luckily, I never had to worry about that. I had people coming in what seemed like almost constant intervals to bring me things and keep me company. Even though everyone had agreed to come in this evening to see Alice, Shane and Jenny came into my room not long after the doctor had left. They were both carrying food in plastic bags, a lot of it from what it looked like. I shook my head when I saw it, since I still had the remnants of the Thanksgiving dinner they’d sent for me.
“You guys are nuts. I’m fine, you don’t have to keep bringing me sustenance,” I told them with a sigh.
“I know, but Alice is going to kick our asses if she finds out we weren’t feeding you. And what’s the point of owning a restaurant if we can’t give our friends food?” Shane asked as if there were nothing out of the ordinary.
“You don’t own a restaurant, Shane. It’s a café and a nightclub, but it’s not a restaurant by any means,” I shot back good-naturedly. She just glared at me.
“We still serve food, so it counts. And I want you to eat this, okay? You’re getting too damn skinny again. That’s supposed to be my role,” Shane replied, sticking the food into the mini fridge, which was getting packed full of way too much stuff.
“Fine,” I finally conceded. “I’ll eat it, but not right now. I just had breakfast.”
“All right, but I’m gonna check tomorrow and make sure you did,” Jenny warned. I just shrugged, since Jenny was about as threatening as a kitten chasing string.
“How’s she doing?” Shane asked after a minute or two of peeking in through the window to Alice’s room.
“She’s still exhausted, but she’s starting to stay awake a little longer every time. Otherwise, not much has changed.”
“You okay?” she asked softly.
“I guess. I haven’t really thought about how I am.”
“Yeah,” Shane replied. “Okay, well, we should get going. We’ll come back later on though, okay? Once she’s awake?”
“I think she’d like that,” I said truthfully.
“If you need some company, don’t hesitate to call me. I know you’re sad, so if you want to talk you know where to find me. It doesn’t matter what time it is,” Shane said as she hugged me. Jenny came over and hugged me too before they left.

Another excellent chapter, MT! This is really such a moving story. It’s funny — I can empathize with Dana. When the story started, I expected Alice to not make it. I know I should be happy that she will, but, I am still sad that she will lose her ability to talk. And, yes, I know they are not real people. You just write them so well that it is hard not to think about them as such. You are doing a great job in writing what Dana is going through. You get into an almost “institutional” mode when you are keeping vigil like this. I think her talking about their past is a good way to get away from that for at least a little bit. I’m glad Dana is thinking ahead about getting Alice some help for the depression that she might feel. I’ll be curious to see what the real deal is with Alice and the Chicago trip. Thank you so much for the update. I know it must be hard to write such an emotional story when you are feeling down. I’ll add by hugs to wondering’s and my hopes that you are feeling better.
Awesome chap…ya even managed to get jenny mellowed with age
Hey, sorry to hear things are so difficult for you at the moment. The story as always was wonderful, I’m glad that Alice seems to be pulling through a little bit but the challenges ahead seem pretty enormous. The relationship you have written for this pair over their lifetime however gives me hope that they will have the strength to come through it. Sending you big hugs and hoping the sun starts to shine for you!
*gives hugs* Tis is a very good chapter MT. I agree with Magoose that with your stories, you write them so well that I can’t help but sometimes feel it’s real. Your stories are all very moving, yes even the short ones *wink* I hope everything will be okay MT. Thanks for the chapter.
Once Again Amazing!!! I love the flashabacks, so freaking adorable! I never want to get out of bed either!!!Hope you are feeling better! Put your face in the sun a little bit, it always makes me feel better!!
