    Survival: Chapter 6

    “No, she was wonderful,” Ellie replied defensively.  “She just did a bitchy thing, that’s all.”

    “Well, if you’re looking to get over all that, WeHo is a good place to meet some gay ladies,” Alice said, trying to lighten Ellie’s mood.

    “I have to admit that was part of my thinking,” Ellie replied with a grin. 

    “Oh, so you didn’t come out here just to see me; you came to get laid,” Alice joked.

    “Exactly,” Ellie laughed.  She leaned over to give Alice a tight hug.  “Thanks for being so great about this, Al,” she said. 

    “Hey, I’m just glad to not be the gayest one in the family anymore,” Alice returned with a chuckle.

    As they sat on the couch sipping their tea, both women fell into a comfortable silence, each lost in her own thoughts.  After a minute, Ellie turned to Alice again.  “So, what are you going to do about Dana?” she asked.

    “To be honest, all I can think about right now is your news,” Alice laughed. 

    “Well, you’d better come up with something,” Ellie replied.  “Because I’d like Lara to remain available.”  She burst into laughter as her comment drew a look of horror from Alice.  “Just kidding,” she added with a wink.

    “You’d better be,” Alice said, shooting her suspicious glare.  Changing the subject quickly, she asked, “So, do you have any bright ideas about what I should do?”

    Ellie smiled.  “I’m full of bright ideas,” she said, leaning forward conspiratorially to share her plan.

    Dana stared at herself in the mirror as she slowly brushed her teeth.  She turned her head slowly from side to side, examining the fine, short layer of hair that covered her head.  Even her eyebrows had finally started to grow back.  It wasn’t much, but that little bit of hair had represented something of a return to her previous self in Dana’s mind.  But, she knew that starting tomorrow, she would lose all that again. 

    Spitting her toothpaste into the sink, she grimaced at her reflection in the mirror as she realised the futility of obsessing over such dark thoughts.  There was no point in mourning the loss of something that would eventually come back.  She knew she had to convince herself that after this treatment, she would get her hair back just like she would get her old self back again.

    1. 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.

    2. 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! :)

    3. so cute. i knew the ellie and lara thing was coming. though i didn’t know ellie was completely gay. go figure, right? well super update. thanks for being so quick. love it.

    4. wow!!! my god you have no idea how much i enjoy reading your story its written so well and danish is so cute in this im glad dana will not be dying can’t wait for the next one keep up the good work :)

    5. 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!
