    Valediction (One/Three)

    I usually am, although on days like today I can’t be sure. I didn’t feel any different, for one thing. I’d always thought that when it came down to it, I’d know I was dying by how bad I felt. It wasn’t like that at all; sure, I knew, and it felt like I was dying, somewhere inside. But I didn’t really feel bad.

    Shane and Jenny got together not long after my second remission. Carmen had been gone for awhile after a rushed marriage proposal from Shane that she ended up reneging on, and Jenny was recovering from her second major breakdown. It made sense to everybody but them, I think. Alice and I had been discussing it for months, but even when it had happened, it never seemed to be a big deal. They just sort of fell into it like it was the most natural thing on earth. They were good together, and I think they’re still the only couple I know that can make an open relationship work. They’ve been leaning more and more toward monogamy, though, and I don’t think they even realize it.

    I couldn’t tell you how long I sat on the couch that night until Alice came out of the bedroom. We didn’t say a word to each other; she just helped me off the couch and into her arms, and we went to bed and just lay there holding each other all night. We both had so much to say, but no fucking idea how to start.

    We made love, in our way, for hours the next morning. It wasn’t something we planned or even agreed on, but it was definitely something we both needed, that connection. I can’t even remember how many times I came, but I know it had to be a record. Afterward, when we were both exhausted, we just stayed in bed and talked. I told her I was sorry about the sex being different, and she looked like she wanted to punch me. That was the last time we ever really talked about it, and we didn’t really need to. I could feel by the way she touched me afterward that she felt the same connection I did. It wasn’t much, but it was something, and after news like we’d just gotten, it made sense to cling to whatever scraps we could.

    1. I hate to just repeat what everyone else said…but yeah, wow. I don’t think I’ve ever cried from fan fic before, but tears actually welled up in my eyes by the 3rd page of this. I almost didn’t read it because I want to live in a delusional fan fic universe where Dana dying of cancer is never part of the equation, but I love your writing so much I couldn’t resist. I’m bracing myself for the outcome, but I know it’ll be worth it if the next 2 chapters are anything like this one (and I’m sure they will be).

    2. Wow…that’s pretty much all there is to say. I’m supposed to be writing a paper, but i stopped to see if anything new was posted and i’m glad i did! This is such an awesome story, its so real. Please continue and SOON!

    3. Dana’s death really was handled poorly on the show, both last season and this one (so far), so I’m interested to see your interpretation. This was an excellent first chapter, though I know the heartbreak is coming. Thanks

    4. you got me all so teary eyes :'( liking the closure that we certainly didn’t get on the show. also the first person-thing. it’s done perfect :)

    5. I lost my longest friend recently to cancer so this opened those wounds. It is a poingnant story and well constructed and written so the reader is a participant. Please continueJackie E

    6. Ok, I just have to say that I pretty much started crying on the second page, and now that I’m finished I still can’t stop crying. That was…my God. There are no words for all the love and emotion you just created between the two. 5 pages of your story proved their love more than storyline IC could have written. Please post the rest of this story soon, although I’ll have to remember to grab an entire box of tissues next installment. Great job.

    7. Amazing! I love how you are writing this…I like the 1st person angle, it works! I am almost crying, but I am at work and that makes me want to cry on its own…no seriously you have a gift! Looking fwd to all your posts for all your stories (YOU, Weather the Storm and now Valediction)
