    Survival: Chapter 6

    “You’re Lara?” Ellie replied, her tone revealing her awareness of Lara’s entire personal history.  Alice nudged her unsubtly to get her to shut up.   “I mean, it’s great to meet you,” she amended quickly.

    As Lara smiled uncomfortably, Dana suddenly jumped up from her chair.  “Ellie’s right; we should move closer to the stage,” she suggested, in an effort to break the icy silence at the table.

    “Uh, actually, I think I might head home,” Lara said, as the gang got up from the table.  “My apartment is a disaster area, and I really should unpack.”

    “Don’t leave, Lara,” Dana said, giving her a warm smile.  She was conscious of how awkward Lara must feel with the group acting so strangely, but she didn’t want her to feel like she had to run away.

    “Yeah, stick around,” Shane said, swinging an arm around Lara’s shoulder companionably and leading her into the crowd.  “Besides, you haven’t seen Dana dance with Tegan and Sara yet.  Ow!”  Shane winced as Dana nudged her painfully in the ribs again.

    “Dana’s going to dance?” Lara asked with a grin as she gave in to Shane’s persuasiveness.  “Well, I guess I could stick around for that.”

    “So, that’s Lara,” Ellie whispered to Alice as the group snaked its way through the crowd toward the stage.  Alice nodded.  “Wow, I can see why you were so jealous; she’s hot,” she commented, giving Lara an appreciative look-over.

    “Thanks, El; that’s a really helpful comment,” Alice snapped back sarcastically.

    “Sorry,” Ellie replied without taking her eyes off of Lara, who was now saying something in Dana’s ear that made Dana burst into laughter.

    As the group found a spot near the stage, Alice tried to keep her attention focused on the music, but she couldn’t seem to stop herself from watching Dana and Lara’s interaction with painful interest.  A familiar sense of jealousy crept over her as she watched the two women catching up.  She suddenly felt like a third wheel, which is exactly how she had felt during the last few weeks of her relationship with Dana, when Lara had come back into the picture.

    At the same time, Alice knew she had to trust Dana enough to let her talk to Lara on her own terms.  As much as the thought might bother her, she couldn’t stop them from becoming friends.

    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.

    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!
