Heaven Can Wait – Episode 8: Blame God Instead
Alex Bach – Blame God Instead
_______________________________
"I’d feel so much better off with you dead
Then I’d still believe in you and I’d blame God instead"
She’s unsure at what point it was she finally fell asleep. She’s unsure how she wound up on the couch, though looking down she notices that her clothes are all on still. Lara opens her eyes and reminds herself of the suroundings. She awakens to find herself on the couch in Carmen’s apartment, rubbing her eyes and stretching. She turns around and sees Carmen standing beside the couch, holding a bottle of water.
Carmen: Here.
Carmen holds out the bottle, offering it to Lara who reaches out and takes it. She sits up on the couch and drinks some from the bottle as Carmen takes a seat beside her.
Carmen: I was beginning to wonder if you were ever gonna wake up.
Carmen follows the statement with some soft laughter as Lara notices the time on the clock. It’s 11:58 AM and Lara’s eyes widen. Suddenly, Carmen places her right hand on Lara’s left shoulder.
Carmen: Don’t worry, I called Kit.
Lara: Shit…I hate missing work…
Carmen: Lara, don’t worry…I told her what happened and she understands.
Lara looks at Carmen then looks down, placing her face in her own hands.
Lara: Great…not even 24 hours after being dumped in front of the whole World and I’m already missing work.
Carmen slides her right arm over Lara’s shoulders and leans in.
Carmen: Well don’t worry…I’m gonna take care of you today. You’ve done so much for everyone else that today…it’s your turn to relax.
Lara slides her head up slightly, her hands still covering her mouth and the tip of her nose.
Lara: What?
Carmen: And no, you can’t stop me.
Lara: Carmen-
Carmen: You have done everything you can for Dana….and for Al…and you’ve been here for me when I needed someone to talk to. So today…I want you to kick back…relax…I know you’ve been stressed, but to-
Lara: Carmen, it’s….it’s not me.
Lara stands up from the couch, causing Carmen to stand up immediately as well.
Lara: It’s not fair to make someone-
Carmen places her hands on Lara’s shoulders.
Carmen: You’re not making me do anything. I…WANT…to help. Okay?

alice can’t seriously have feeling beyond friendship for lara! come on! i mean lara’s rad in her own way, but… come on!!! hook lara up with carmen and be done with it! :) great update – looking forward to the next.
Awesome update i must say! lol apart from being a wierdo he seems to be a keen observer i liked it! alice and lara wow thats awesome and im glad shanez jealous lol or atleast i think she should be. i agree with Adelefiz im not sure about the couples anymore, i cant really say if carmen n lara wont be good together or dana and alice or alice and lara.. gosh! confuzzling! i would leave it all in your able hands!:)
whoa Henry’s got some balls!!! PPS
poor lara but I have a feel that alice is happy but not as happy as she wants to be and I think that she has started to have some feelings for lara as well as lara may ahve for alice aswell please post soon can’t wait to see what will happen next great update I love it
Lara isn’t my favorite. I didn’t want her with Alice when Dana was dead on the show, so I definitely don’t want her on Alice’s mind when Dana is alive. lol If they all continued to live together more lines might have been blurred, but I think Alice just feels guilty because she knows what it feels like to be dumped by Dana. She understands the hurt Lara is feeling now, but I’m pretty sure she’ll learn to deal with it, and enjoy her time with Dana. If anyone is to blame for the confusion, it is Dana, but I suppose she gets a pass because of her illness.
Thanks for the props, man! OK, you’ve done it, you’ve actually made me like Max for more than 2.5 seconds AND made me seethe over my fave character on the show, Dana. Usually I find Max a terrible waste of time, but I like how you used him as an outside observer of the WTF-with-the-Lara-Dana-Alice-trio dynamic. Why do I want Lara and Alice to totally hook up on this trip to Canada and turn the tables on the dumpage? I dunno, but I’m excited to see how you’ll untangle this mess. And argh, Dana is still a wuss in my mind here, getting her cake and eating it too (so to speak) without bearing any fallout from those she’s hurting. OK, she’s been sick. This does mean something. But still, gaaah. I am on board with those who don’t like Lara and Carmen together, it’s not as dynamic as the thought of Alice and Lara mulling over what the nature of THEIR relationship is/could be (all while sneaking around behind Dana’s back? mwhahahaha), plus it would seem like an easy way out of this sticky situation. Bring on the drama and cool fancy words;) Obviously how you’re moving this story along is working, and you’ve stirring a lot of us up. Please post soon, updates rule! Thanks.
Oh, what a tangled web Max sees… I like Henry’s pre-emptive strike. He’s going down and he knows it. As for Our Alice, welp, she’s gotten what she wanted… hasn’t she? (duhn-de-duhn-dunh)
Henry has a lot of balls coming to Bette to ask about Tina. Is Carman in love with Lara? I’m going back tomorrow and read and get my mind clear on some of this. I might have missed something thanks for posting thanks
Great update,i agree i didnt see this coming either!!! Your sneaky!!! lmao PPS and as always,keep with the great work!!!!
Did Henry think that he and Bette were gonna have a heart to heart? If my partner & I are having problems I’ll be damned if I go to the ex to get some kind of insight. I still can’t believe Tina blamed Bette for seeing her as some type of baby machine…in this story did Tina get pregnant without Bette knowing? If so how could Bette press her for a child she created behind her back. Instead of talking to Bette she picks a fight over someone else’s relationship. Tina needs some professional help to help her see where this anger really lies. That’s not saying she can’t be BI but I dont even think that’s the issue…it’s about payback to someone who has hurt you more than you thought you ever could be.
