Over me: chapter 6
Over me: Chapter 6
I lay awake most of the night, not even trying to sleep. My mind was an untuned radio; the static deafening. I got up earlier than Lara, feeling like one of the living dead. I knew what I had to do, but it was whether I could do it that was the problem. I owe it to him… like you do: Alice’s’ words came back to haunt me. Alice.
I opened the door to the bedroom carefully. Lara was still asleep, so twisted up in the duvet it looked like a tornado had whipped through the apartment in the night. I closed it just as softly, grabbed my cell and snuck out into the hallway, heart thumping sickly in my chest. One of the things that had kept me from the sleep I so needed was thinking that Alice might be in trouble that I shouldn’t have left her with Ethan as my first instinct had suggested. It was just such a shock, him finding us like that. My hands were shaking as I called up her number. It rang a few times and then, thank god, her voice: "Dana?" It was a croaky whisper but it was there.
"Al, I’m sorry- I just had to check you were ok."
Silence.
"Are you?"
She coughed, and it sounded like she winced. Immediately, I was on full alert.
"What- did he touch you?!-I’ll-"
"Calm down. The only person who injured me last night was you. I think you gave me whiplash."
I sighed with relief.
"Al…"
"It’s true! Anyway, you don’t have to worry: Ethan’s gone." I didn’t miss the slight regret in her voice. "We didn’t even really argue about it, he was too hung-over. He just left. For now…" She trailed off.
I hesitated. "It’s my fault."
"It’s both our faults." A beat. "You talk to Lara?"
"Yes… and no."
A deep sigh. Then, in a more irritated tone.
"Are you going to?"
"I am – I just needed to-"
"Think up an excuse?"
I frowned. "That’s not fair, Al."
"Isn’t it?" Her voice was angrier still. "I don’t know what you think is happening here, but there is no way I’m going to have some sleazy little affair with you…"

OMG what a cliffhanger, I may have said it before but I’ll say it again just so you know, I love this story! I think it’s great you’ve written it from Dana’s POV, and you write her and all the other characters so well, it’s bloody brilliant! Please don’t let Alice be hurt too badly or at all if you can help it *sniffs* Dana will take care of Alice and especially take care of Ethan if he has done anything stupid. PPS xx
I hate to be rude, but have you borrowed these characters from LA Laydees? What a feeling! bein’s believin’I can’t have it all, now I’m dancin’ for my life Take your passion, and make it happen Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life – that is what I would have said to Zippie before he left bungle for george. Will you be my wifffe? Where’s my story!!!
OMG can’t wait to see what happens next! I hope the bastard didnt hurt her! i love this story! PLease post soooN!
I actually feel bad for Lara, but the force – it was too strong. I hope Ethan didn’t hurt Alice. Is the apartment Dana’s condo? If so, will Lara be leaving soon? Please update soon!
Another awesome chapter but cant believe youve left us hanging on that bit of drama!!!! Please post again soon xxx
excellent update! I still like that Lara is not caving in to Dana’s poor behavior (but do feel bad for Lara) but I guess you can’t stop connections that are ‘meant to be’?
no no please let Al be ok! Great post!! PPS
I called it! At least I think I did…I really hope Alice just forgot to pay her landline bill because she uses her cell so much, though. This was great, even though you left us with a cliffhanger!
