Survival: Chapter 6
“Of course she is, dummy,” Ellie confirmed. “Even if Lara does want to get back together with her, there’s no way she’s going to go for it. Unless you do something stupid.”
“Like what?” Alice asked, even though she was pretty sure she already knew the answer to her question.
“Like push them together in some crazy quest to prove that you’re not jealous of Lara,” Ellie said. “And then overreact to little things because you think they’re hooking up. I know you, Alice – you will sabotage the best relationship you’ve ever had if someone doesn’t stop you.” She sighed exaggeratedly. “Thank goodness you’ve got me; I’m older and wiser and I can tell you when you’re being an asshole.”
“Yes; you’re much, much older,” Alice teased.
“You’re such an asshole,” Ellie responded with a smirk.
“The thing is,” Alice continued, ignoring Ellie’s insult, “Lara has a weird power over Dana. Once they start hanging out again, I don’t know what will happen. My only hope is that Lara will start dating someone else. Maybe I can hook her up with Gabby again…” Alice trailed off as her mind started planning a scheme to get her ex and Lara back together.
“Hey, I thought you said Lara is single,” Ellie said, her voice dropping disappointedly.
“Yeah, she is. Gabby and her dated awhile back. Wait, why do you keep asking me whether Lara’s single?” Alice asked suddenly, giving Ellie a suspicious look.
Ellie was quiet for a few seconds, thinking about her response. “No reason,” she finally said, looking down at her mug nonchalantly. When she heard how unconvincing her voice sounded, she glanced up at Alice guiltily.
“Oh my god,” Alice said, sitting up straight as a light flashed on inside her mind. “Don’t tell me – are you gay?”
Ellie gazed at Alice nervously, then nodded silently.
“Wow, how did I not figure this out sooner?” Alice wondered aloud to herself as she began putting the pieces together in her mind. Meeting Ellie’s gaze, she asked, “Is that why you and Dave broke up?”
“Well, it didn’t exactly bring us closer together,” Ellie joked.
Alice stared at her in shock for a few seconds, before erupting into a sudden peal of laughter.

Great update – please try and get your real life in order quickly and continue with this great story.
Thanks for the awsome update!!! PMS!!!
Well, you were right…that was pretty sappy, but wonderfully so. I actually said “awww” out loud there at the end. Ellie and Lara would totally be cute…is it weird that I can picture them together in my head, having no idea what Ellie looks like? Oh well. This was fantastic, as they always are.
what a nice surprise to find such a quick update this evening! And, it’s totally sweet that you give me credit for spurring you to bring a sister into the mix. (though I have to say you’ve one upped me with the whole notion of Lara still being with a Pieszecki—just thank you for not bringing Lenore into the picture! Again, I loved the way you capture the inner turmoil of all the characters. And the way they work through it in relationship to the other characters (not only Alice and Dana, but also the whole gang with Lara, and Ellie with Alice and Lara with Dana and…well, you get the picture….I’m totally loving where this story is going!) I do think you’ve managed to nail the ‘living’ with cancer issue…as opposed to ‘dying’ with cancer, and I for one think that’s fantastic. Good luck with real life, and I’ll be waiting patiently for your return! :)

I’ve been out of town so was so glad to catch up on your updates-wow, this chapter really moved things along. I heart this fic and how you are shaping things. The “debriefing” was totally sisterly–nice touch. And thank you for keeping my girl Lara in the mix, yay! Can’t wait to see what is in store for her (but I like what you’re getting at…) and Danish too. Please post soon, I’ll be leaping with joy!
