    Survival: Chapter 6

    “So, is everything ok with Alice?” Lara asked, abruptly shifting the subject.

    “Sure; why wouldn’t it be?” Dana answered more defensively than she had intended.

    “Sorry,” Lara replied hastily.  “I just meant that it seemed like she was kind of upset when we left.”

    “Well, it’s hard for her to see you and I together,” Dana explained.  “I think she’s dealing with it as best she can.”

    “So, are you two back together or something?” Lara asked, her throat tightening as the question came out of her mouth.  On the one hand, she didn’t really want to know the answer, but on the other she knew she needed to find out sooner rather than later.

    Dana was silent for a few seconds before responding.  “Yeah, I guess we are, sort of.”

    “Well, that’s a sufficiently vague answer,” Lara said, forcing out a laugh.

    “Sorry,” Dana responded with a grin.  “We’re just figuring out what’s happening between us.”

    “So, there definitely is something happening?” Lara asked, knowing she was forcing the issue but unable to stop herself.

    “Lara,” Dana said warningly.  “Why are you asking me about Alice?”

    Lara sighed softly, and decided to lay her cards on the table.  “Look, Dana, I know what you said on the phone, but I guess I need to hear it from you in person before I can really let go of the idea that we might be able to work things out between us.  So, I just need to know: are you in love with Alice?”

    Dana chewed her bottom lip nervously as she considered Lara’s question.  Weighing her feelings in her mind, it didn’t take long for her to realise the answer.  “Yeah, I am,” she said quietly but firmly.

    Lara felt her stomach tighten at the confirmation of what deep down she had already known.  Even when she and Dana were together, she had been painfully aware that there was a part of Dana’s heart that would always belong to Alice.  She had just hoped that a bigger part belonged to her.  It was hard to hear that that wasn’t the case.

    “Hey, are you ok?” Dana asked, reaching over to touch Lara’s arm reassuringly.

    “Well, I can’t say I’m not disappointed,” she admitted, wiping away a stray tear that fell down her face as Dana’s words settled in her mind.  “But, I’m also not really surprised.  You and Alice have always had something special.”

    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!
