Alice
I tried to get the apartment ready. Dana hated that; she said it made her feel worse to come home and see that I’d made it ready for her to throw up on. I could see the sense in that, but at the same time, I didn’t want to go through replacing the carpets again. I just threw down a bunch of towels from the bed to the bathroom and hoped she’d have a little aim should she need it.
I wasn’t able to bring myself to go with her. It made me feel bad, but I just couldn’t sit there and see all that shit get pumped into her. I knew how sick it made her, and every single instinct I had screamed at me to stop them from putting it in her at all. That sort of attitude wouldn’t help, so I just didn’t go. She said it was okay, but I wonder sometimes if I should have put my own shit aside and gone anyway.
It seemed to be okay, though. Shane went with her, and to this day I don’t know how she did it and never let Dana see her break down. She would, with me, every so often, but never around Dana, and I admire the hell out of her for it.
They got home about four hours after they’d left, and for a little while Dana seemed okay. Shane asked to stay, and I gratefully let her. We got Dana into bed and comfortable, gave her some water (the doctors always told her to drink a lot of fluids afterward; it helped flush the poison out of her kidneys or something) and went into the living room.
About an hour later, I went in to check on her. "How you feeling?" I asked, and for the thousandth time I felt like an idiot for it. There wasn’t much else to say, though.
"Okay. Kind of weird…I’m warm and my skin feels tight, like it’s humming. But not bad," she answered. I put my hand on her forehead.
"No fever," I told her right before I kissed her cheek. "Don’t worry, I’m right out in the living room. Shane’s there too. You should try and get some sleep. Can I get you some more water?"

I wanted to stay in my happy place and I was really reluctant to read this story. The fact that it was written by you, persuaded me and I’m glad I did. Even though I am crying my eyes out right now, I’m happy to know thatDana spends her last days with the love of her life and is surrounded by her friends. The story captivated me so much that, after reading it, I realized my music player had been playing Akon with I wanna f*ck you on repeat (don’t ask me why). So I’ve been listening to the most unromatic song while reading your immensly moving story! Weird huh?! Anyways, looking forward to the wedding chapter (and looking less forward to the part where we have to say goodbye to Dana).
I cant express how amazing I thought that was, you’ve got me crying my eyes out. Your writing just blows me away. If I’m crying now I’m gonna be so much worse next chapter but I know its gonna be incredible. You are so unbelievably talented x
hey, I just caught up with this. What can I say? This is one strong piece. I’m kinda speechless. Like some other readers here I was getting choked up while reading some parts. The proposal for example and so many more. I’m glad you decided this to be 3 parts, cause seriously, I couldn’t take more of it, since I know what’s going to happen. AND I’m glad you decided to not put this storyline into your other story. Cause that’s my happy one. And you better be updating that fast, lol.;)Great work.
Fantastic piece of work – so sad, yet so happy, looking forward to more very soon.
i don’t think i’ve commented on any story in months but after reading that chapter i couldn’t NOT comment! you literally had me choking on that lump you get at the back of your throat when you’re fighting off tears. i did managed to hold off the tears until the part about alice and the group going to pick fresh flowers. that’s when i completely lost it! you’ve written your version of dana’s cancer story so beautifully. this story it really gives “bittersweet” a whole new meaning. thank you for giving us danish lovers something so precious. i can’t wait to read the final chapter
Wow!I can’t stop crying I can’t wait till they get married
OMG I’ve not cried so much in a long long time…It’s a sad story butits done in such a great way…..I need to get the hankies out for the next chapter I think! PPS
WOW…Okay I’m totally tearing up at work, but at least I am watching The View in the background which is making me laugh…WOW WOW WOW…this is so beautiful! (BTW I do love my job, just a rough time in the industry). Your writing is amazing! Just simply amazing! I have a feeling when the final chapter comes I will need at least a bottle of wine and a box of tissues.
Beautifully sad. Simple as. You have a gift for writing that stirs up emotions I didn’t think were possbile while reading a fictional story. :)
Beautiful as always.
I totally can’t comment on how amazing that was so I’m not gonna even try.xx
