    Lest I Forget (8)

    I guess I was hoping she’d hear me, although even as I had the thought I knew how stupid it was. I sighed in defeat for what felt like the millionth time and smiled at the nurse who came in to check her IV bags and vitals.

    “About the same,” she told me gently. “How are you doing?”

    “About the same,” I replied with the barest hint of a smile. She smiled sadly in return and made her way out, saying that the doctor would be in soon if I wanted to speak to him. I thought about it for a few minutes, but Dr. Hernandez would just tell me the same thing as yesterday, and the day before. I couldn’t bear to hear it anymore.

    “I’m gonna go take a shower, Al,” I told her, having no idea why but wanting to let her know what I was doing. “I’ll be back before long though.” I paused, then smiled and kissed the back of her hand again. “When you wake up I’ll help you take one…you definitely need it.” I swiped at the tears in my eyes and continued, “But I don’t care of you’re smelly. I still love you.” With that, I kissed her forehead and made my way back to my room.

    Helena had brought a couple of outfits for me yesterday, so I was able to find something to change into. I was looking forward to Charlie coming back today with some more clothes, though. Not that what Helena had brought was bad, exactly…just an old pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. Still, I felt like a slob sitting around all day in the hospital, and for some strange reason I wanted to look somewhat decent just in case Al woke up. Dr. Hernandez had said it could be any time now, and I was feeling a little skuzzy. As I showered I considered asking Helena to stop by the house to get me some razors or something.

    Not that it really mattered once I got in the shower, though. It’ll sound stupid, but I missed Alice even more in here. We usually still showered together even after all these years, and I really missed the feeling of her hands being the ones to wash me. Eventually I had to turn my face to the water to wash my tears away.

    1. Damn! I forgot to comment last chapter. So sorry, MT! Great New Year’s present! Such a sweet chapter. Love that Dana could not sleep well without Alice. True soulmates. So many great touches: Dana pacing when Al wasn’t looking, showering together over the years, the knitted blanket, etc. — wonderful. Poor Dana. It is really hard to keep vigil like that. Stupid Gemma’s girlfriend! I would be willing to give her Jules if Kallie doesn’t work out. Interesting touch about Helena and Tina. I do like that Dylan was apparently there for Helena until the end. You rock, MT. Best wishes for 2008! Thanks so much for the new chapter!!

    2. By the time I finished reading this chapter, I am a lot more sober after partying all night. OMG, MaGoose, again you saved me from typing half of my comments. I love the blanket too, so A, so sweet. I was about to start a “Feed Dana” campaign and then they brought her a Thanksgiving dinner. I also like the nice surprise about T & H getting back together. I am elated to find A slowly waking up. Poor D she really needed to get some rest. I am starting to worry about her again. She could not afford to be sick. I lmao when MaGoose offered Jules. As for you, MT, I am sorry to hear that you are depressed. I am sure MaGoose will not mind letting the D from “Closure” to take care of you for a day or two. Then everyone will be happy. Thank you MT, like MaGoose said, “YOU ROCK.” And please continue to rock in 2008. So keep your chin up and I wish you happiness, good health & prosperity this coming year!

    3. Hey MT, what a way to start the New Year. Your writing continues to blow me away. I loved the part about the blanket, such an Alice thing to do…so cute. You’re teasing us a little with this story though, when I read the first chapter I accepted that there was no hope for Alice and that I had to read the story accepting it was destined to end a certain way…that was before I realised that you were in love with Alice, now slowly each chapter you are feeding us grains of hope and I’m starting to wonder if you have it in you to do anything really bad to your woman!
