Dana
I crawled into bed and tried to relax, but I couldn’t make myself be still. I couldn’t get comfortable for more than a minute at once. My stomach muscles hurt and felt raw, and all my nerves were on fire. Alice wanted me to drink water, but I couldn’t…I knew it’d just come right back up.
Eventually, Al got into bed next to me and tried to hold me, which didn’t exactly work since I was tossing and turning all over the place. "Go out and watch TV or something," I begged her. Shane just shook her head from the doorway.
"I think it’s getting better," I said, to try to calm them down. Of course, I was lying. I was so sick I wanted to die, just to get it over with. They knew it, too. Alice put her arms around me again, quickly, and then moved back. Shane came over and sat down next to me. We were quiet for a few minutes, until Alice started rubbing my back. It should have felt good, and I know she was only doing it to make me feel better, but I couldn’t handle it. "Please don’t, Al," I whispered, tears rolling down my face. "I’m sorry. Don’t want anything touching me." She just came around the bed so she could look at me, and nodded. I hated seeing her tears.
Shane didn’t touch me, but she sighed. "How about we put some music on, to take your mind off it?" she asked. I shook my head.
"I don’t think so, Shane." I was trying to sound kind but I don’t think it worked. Shane looked like she’d been slapped.
"Why don’t we just try it?" Alice asked, and I sighed.
"Fine," I muttered, humoring them. "Helena gave me the "Planets" album by Gustav Holst last week. Put that on if you have to." Shane nodded and went to the living room, doing just that. It calmed me at first, since it was so peaceful, and I was almost asleep before I felt another wave of sickness hit me. "God, Alice, turn it off," I begged her as I tried to get up from the bed. I didn’t want it to remind me of being so sick when i listened to it afterward. "Shane, make it stop…"

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
