Anonymous prompted: Requesting number 32. ("You could have died.")

Alice could hear Drizella shouting at a nurse and shut her eyes, counting back from three. She was lucky that her father was out of town for the weekend with Regina or else he'd be right alongside of her. There was no way she was going to be living this down.

The door to the room opened and Drizella rushed in, taking in the scene. There was fear present in her eyes as she walked closer to the bed. Alice sat up a bit, ignoring the searing pain in her leg.

"We've done it in a lot of places, but never a hospital bed," she said, a twinkle in her eyes.

Drizella's worry turned to disgust. "This isn't funny Alice!" She exclaimed. "You could have died."

"But I didn't. I'm still hear, listening to you freak out."

She rolled her eyes, sitting beside her. "What made you think this was a good idea? Jumping off a cliff?"

"It's called cliff diving, I've seen people do it lots of times."

"Oh, really? Where?"

"…The movies."

Drizella shook her head. "You're just lucky it was only a broken leg and not a broken neck."

"It wouldn't have even been this bad if I hadn't hit a root on the way down."

"You didn't take your cell phone or anything, I had no clue where you were…"

"Just as well I did it on a public beach, eh?"

"You don't see how serious this is, do you? You can't keep doing stuff like this."

"Drizella…"

"I can't lose you. I think I'd go crazy if I did."

Alice sighed, taking Drizella's hand over her own. Slowly, she stroked her knuckles, humming a soft tune. Little by little, she could see her girlfriend relaxing. Drizella glanced back over at her, laughing in spite of the anxiety rising in her stomach.

"You're the one in the hospital, I should be calming you down."

"Well, if I didn't calm you out of your panic attack, you would've become a patient too."

"You know why I worry, don't you?"

"I do. And you know why I do this? I spent so many years cooped up in a tower. I want to be able to have fun and take risks. It's just who I am."

Drizella nodded. "Just promise me the next time you go diving off a cliff, you're careful."

"I promise. Though, I doubt I'll be doing that any time soon."

"Lots of rest for you, missy."

A twinkle fell across Alice's eyes. "Will I have a pretty nurse to take care of me?"

Drizella chuckled. "I suppose I could be persuaded."
