Pulling Alice’s hand into her own, she felt her eyes misting again as she murmured shakily, "You really scared us, baby."
Alice appeared contrite but also uncomfortably confused and she winced as she tried to move her other hand to her head, having forgotten the IV.
Dana questioned worriedly, "What’s wrong? Your head?"
Alice nodded miserably and Dana leaned closer, examining the cut above Alice’s brow with unhappiness. The doctors had covered the slash with butterfly tape and Dana was relieved that they hadn’t had to take any stitches.
Glancing into Alice’s eyes again, she said, "You hit your head when you fainted. The doctors think you gave yourself a concussion."
Alice’s brown orbs flickered dimly at Dana’s words and she formed an embarassed smile as she said softly, "I don’t remember."
The tennis player whispered consolingly, "That’s okay. I’m going to go find the doctor and we’ll get you something for your head."
She had started to rise from her chair but Lenore caught her eye and suggested, "Let me go, Dana. I’ll stop in the waiting room and let everbody know Alice is awake. Maybe they can go home and get some rest now."
Alice’s eyes followed Lenore until her form became too blurry and then she turned back to her girlfriend and questioned, "People are here?"
Dana squeezed Alice’s hand powerfully, unable to avoid a pang of sadness at Alice’s genuine surprise. "Of course they’re here. You were hurt, Alice. Where else would they be?"
Alice shrugged and then grimaced again. Everything seemed to hurt and she felt ridiculously helpless and weak. Her memory was foggy and she said tentatively, "I remember going off the stage. Hearing everbody clapping and then I just- it just goes dark."
Dana kissed Alice’s hand and said, "You fainted, baby. Everybody was so worried. Helena rode here with you. Do you remember any of that?"
Alice shook her head. She was genuinely impressed with her newfound amnesia. She thought that kind of thing only happened in soap operas.
Laughing with grudging respect for her massive memory lapse, Alice continued, "Nope. I just remember the hallway at the club and the next thing I know I’m awake and you and Lenore are hugging it out."
Ignoring the dull, permeating ache in her body, Alice narrowed her eyes playfully and questioned, "Confession time, baby. Are you having an affair with my mother?"

Glad to see Alice is doing well and I love how much they all love each other…it’s really nice…pps
Hiya there frip, great chapter and Al doesnt miss a beat even after knocking on deaths door,,LOL. Seeing Helena wink at Bette. Dana really loves Al, as Shane saw and its the same for Al to Dane. Leonore was cool finally a good mother for he daughter.
so cute. so funny as well. i love the ending scene with alice confused about what “it” was. I must admit, I was confused as well. But I riddled it out. Also – that is hilarious – I also wore m fanny pack with my family in Disney World when I was like 8. I can’t remember but I think it was black with a hot pink line on it. Or fluorescent green with black in it. Maybe I had two, who knows. Either way – I’m sure I looked hot. Glad you got some sleep – now I am gonna get some. sleep, that is.
Awwwww….Alice is okay..I love how Alice just thought of sex right away while talking to Shane. LOL. I love how the doctor was trying to hit on Helena, but she wouldn’t let it go. I wonder what will happen between her and Bette. Anyways, I love that little moment with A & D, telling each other that they love each other. Which is really sweet and adorable. I love how Dana laughed about what Alice said before she passed out and actually told her. I can’t wait for the next chapter. PPS
Awww, cute! I’m sorry I won;t leave a long comment this time, but I just got done working 10-12 hour shifts two days running, so I’m gonna follow that advice I gave you last night. And yep, corn. Chicago’s in Illinois too, but I’m like 3 hours away from there, so all that remains is corn. And some soybeans. And maybe a little wheat down south. That’s about it.
I knew it, close to 3am your post would show up. I am glad to hear that you had your needed sleep. I am kind of like that too. Every other day or 2, I will sleep for 10-12 hours. Love that well rested feeling when I wake up. Anyway I have just finished reading Crossroads ch. 14. You are so right. It is fantastic, a great plot, at times humorous (CD collection, A learning to flip omelets) and Goldrun15 tackled the whole A & L relationship (conversation w/ Uta, Tina and between themselves). Knowing D had passed away, I guess it was probable they were clutches to each other. At times I found it really sad for L’s nightmare and both of them still in mourning. I am beginning to get hooked to this story. Back to yours, A waking up to Lenore hugging D, fabulous! I totally fell for the way you had these two so lovingly cared for each other. I had to laugh at the group sleeping in the waiting room. What a sight! “…you are gonna get it” I wonder what D had in mind because A failed to take care of her health. Without any major aftermath to A, I hope the punishment would be all good and fun. Now, I must get some snooze myself. My raccoon eyes are starting to get noticeable since 2 weeks ago. Somehow, I keep postponing my sleep because I don’t want to miss any Danish posts. fripster, thank you again for another excellent post.
It’s great to see that type of love and dedication amongst friends, because everyone doesn’t have it. I’m also glad to see Alice is well and still have her sense of humor. And lastly Dana is right you would freeze your butt off in hospital…Thanks again for the update!
it is infuriating. I haven’t slept the way I should this passed two weeks, The college festival(s) just ended, I’m completely tired, but my teammates and I won the bowling championship, yay! LOL barely a day after bowling we were sent to a completely different contest, it involved the “best” young writers in the city and we weren’t even briefed for it. We thought we’d just be dozing off a seminar. yeah right, I was so pissed but I kept checking in here to read your posts, read a few chapters of Danish afterwards. I can only sleep 4-6 hours these days. hihihii anyway, I love it that Dana was the one to say she loved Alice, and that Alice said she loved her too. My eyes are petty tired from everything, so I got my glasses back on. I really really love “Let it ride” though and also love the fact that you post regularly. thanks :)x0x
Another great chapter. I’m glad Alice is gonna be okay. I loved the declarations of love. Hope Dana isn’t too hard on Alice for breaking her promise. Will Alice get to hear Dana’s voice mail she left where she unintentionally said ‘I love you’? When will we hear from Tina again? Any way, I’m looking forward to your next post as always.
