You (Part the Eighth)
Alice crossed over to her chair and rubbed her shoulder a little, trying to comfort her because in all honesty it looked like she was going to burst into tears at any minute. “Why don’t you take a break, Lara? I’ll keep an eye on this one, although she’s being an uber-bitch this morning. I’m gonna chalk that up to the chemo, though, and suspend any punishment due to that. Go get some coffee or something.” Lara just looked at her for a minute, her eyes brimming with tears, before she got up and left the room.
“Please don’t start, Al. I know, okay? I know and I fucking hate it but I don’t understand it, so just don’t.” Dana said through her tears.
“Hey, I wasn’t gonna say anything. You think I don’t know how it feels to start acting like somebody you don’t even know? Because trust me, Dana, I totally do.” She smiled and took Dana’s hand for what felt like the nine thousandth time. “Hey, this is a pretty nice setup they gave you. That chair’s like the ultimate TV watching apparatus. Good thing I brought DVDs with me, huh?”
Dana just smiled. She was starting to feel the effects of the medication, and really appreciated the fact that Alice saw that and was trying to make it as easy on her as possible. “Wha’d you bring?” she mumbled, surprised at the slur in her words. The doctors had told her the chemo could affect her brain function, giving her what was known as “chemo brain,” where she’d be pretty slow during and after treatments, but it still surprised her. She couldn’t help but feel anxious at how Alice must be perceiving her.
And Alice did notice, but it had a completely different effect than Dana had thought it would. It just worried the hell out of her and pissed her off, that Dana could be reduced to a child in both strength and mentality. She’d been told about all the potential side effects from the treatments when she’d gone in with Lara to have a consultation with the doctors, but that didn’t make it any easier to see. She couldn’t help but be glad Lara’d left the room when she had. Dana was obviously struggling, and it would have come really close to pushing Lara over the edge.

Great job, the connection is real! Gives me hope for happy endings.
WOW muted im so very proud of you at this moment! I know that had to be tough to write,but you did it and it was the best update! Im sorry i havent been around ,wishing i was there for you to write this chapter.HUGS and just remember its almost 6 months!! Love ya!!! PPS
Wow Temp this was really really good and im not just saying that i truly mean it.I know what its like to write your own experiences in your story its kinda like an outlet and I know it mustve really been hard for you to write this, especially since youve lived through it. I love the way you ended this chapter. We all have that friend like shane that seems to always be right when you dont want them to be LOL
Wow! This is beautifully written. I loved it. Alice verbiage always make me smile. More Please.
Phenomenal update. It broke my heart, and gave me hope all at the same time. You did a wonderful job, and I really enjoyed reading it. I can only imagine how difficult this was to write, with having your own experiences with cancer. For that I applaude you. Thank you very much for sharing. Keep up the great writing. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen. Sorry, but I don’t have any good ideas about the Foamcore Dana. Although, I always did have this picture of Alice playing “dress up” with Foamcore Dana. You know…Dana’s pants and shirt? That way it not only looked like Dana, but smelled like her too. Weird right? Wait a sec…that didn’t actually happen right? I seem to have a whole bunch of season 3 memory lapses. Oh well. :) Loved it.
This update brought tears to my eyes. I absolutely loved it! It’s all in the small gestures that emphasis the strong bong between these women (and ofcourse especially Dana and Alice). I was glad to see that Alice replaced Bette. And Alice comforting Dana at any time…they’re just meant to be. *sigh* And I also loved the fact that they went looking for Dana after Carmen’s remark. The original storyline will only fade more to the background from now on. And don’t be scared, you will do just fine on your own. You already did a superb job with this one!
I am totally loving this story!!!
So sweet!! i hope you have a happy ending tho..my hopes are so high lol:)

Can’t wait to see what happens next. gotta love the love…:)
