Tina’s breath caught in her throat. Never in a million years would she have
guessed that the tears pouring down Bette’s face right now were because of
her, Because she couldn’t imagine losing her. It was a humbling thought.
Bette’s eyes looked like those of a child, pure, innocent and vulnerable.
Tina wasn’t sure how to respond. It was like trying to explain the meaning
of life and death to a 5 year old.
Tina: Bette, you don’t have to worry about that.
Bette: Yes I do. Tomorrow is not promised Tina.
Tina: I know, but for right now, for this second, I’m right here and that’s
all that matters.
Bette lied back on the bed, her eyes closed.
Bette: You’re right.
Tina leaned down and placed a kiss on Bette’s forehead. As she began to pull
her body away she felt Bette’s strong arms wrap around her, bringing her
down on Bette’s cold nude body. She felt her heart stop for a minute as she
took in the feeling of their bodies pressed together. Tina felt the familiar
jolt of electricity rush through her, but now was not the time. She took a
deep breath and rolled off of Bette.
Bette: Where are you going?
Tina: I was going to get dressed. We need to get you back to the hospital. I
left you some clothes in the bathroom.
Bette realized Tina was right. She stood up, suddenly feeling very exposed
and hurried into the bathroom.
When she emerged it was obvious to Tina that Bette had washed her face and
applied a fresh coat of make up.
Tina: Do you want me to go with you?
Bette didn’t hesitate for a second.
Bette: Yes.
Tina: Do you think Sara will be ok with that?
Bette: Yeah, I really do.
Bette held out her hand and waited for Tina to latch on. When she did Bette
found herself feeling just a little more calm. It was funny how Tina could
have that effect on her. Even in a time of complete chaos, Tina’s touch still
slowed everything down.
Bette: Ready?
Tina: Ready.
They walked out of the hotel and made their way into the hospital. With Tina

sara was just do amazing. there were so much emotions. it must be heart breaking for you to write this. great chapter keep it up.
Ahh your back.. Can’t be too mad :) Tho this is emotinal and hard to read at times.. It was a great chapter as always. I have been reading this from day one and your writing gets more superb the more you write. The saying is definetly true. Pracite makes perfect. Keep it up and if possible post tomorrow… or post another one today since you kept us in limbo ! :)
wow this story is…heartbreaking…i think i am going to cry…but very good also…keep writing please!
dayum girl you are a goddess. how you write. the emotions you have us ponder. maybe we can learn a lesson or two in humility and selflessness. whatta ya think? i wasnt mad about yesterday, i know you wont leave us hanging, so its all good. thanks r
for a minute i thought sara’s sister would be shane!! great chapter.. the interaction between tina and sara was very touching in the end. thanks!
A tear, a gulp and I know what were in for the next few chapters….pls be gentle on us…thanks
I hope btownjuli brings enough kleenex for all of us….I have a feeling we are all going to need it.
Yes, that last rally before the end. It’s paradoxical how strong they seem. One could almost believe they are going to carry on…forever.
Thanks for making Sara so grand. I don’t mind so much about the missing ‘h’ now.
(That’s my attempt at gallows humor).
Bette is gonna be a mess. Thank god she has Tina. I’m sure A&A are out making the arrangements.
This is a tender time, every moment counts.
Yes, let me get my Kleenex ready. And a cover for my keyboard. Don’t want to short it out!
Thanks for this engrossing story!
You already know what an affinity I have for this story. I wish I could express succinctly the profound effect it’s having on me. But I can’t. There’s way too much stirring in my heart and my head. So many interesting, important issues and details surround these life and death circumstances…and you seem to effortlessly glide to address each and every one of them and then give them the respect and attention they are due. Aaahhh…I just love this.
very nice and thanks!
Sara is amazing. She’s so concerned about every one else while she’s in that state. It’s heartbreaking. Thank you. Can’t wait for more
great post!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazingly written flair, and incredibly touching….Thanks for the update
wow..amazing!
Ok, Flair..bring it on. I have my tissues ready. I will probably have to have a couple glasses of wine too. Shit…the heart..it is an amazing thing. All the things it feels. Thanks for the chapter…wonderful as always.
Your capacity of understanding for the human heart is astounding. Your story is absolutely beautiful, and truly heartfelt. Thank you for writing it.
Sara is fucking amazing. I hate seeing her go. The others can go get their Kleenexes, I am getting a 6-pack. Oy!
Awesome. This is touching, though difficult. You done a beautiful job here. Thanks.
You are killing me. I like Sara. It’s fiction, so how about a miracle cure (Any soap opera), or making this a dream sequence (Bob Newhart Show), or act like like it never happened (Dallas). I know, you probably have no clue about the elderly references I have made. This is just so sad and often so true…and well written as always.
Nice chapter Flair. Keep them coming.
You know, Rachel, this part of your story will really stay as a must-be-remembered piece of pure humanity…
Through Sara’s poignant but magnificent end of live, we not only see how much you choiced to share some of your own memories and emotions, but above all everybody here was able to relate to it, think about it, feel about it.
It’s not only a truly moving testimony, it’s more than anything else a big lesson of life. A lesson of courage, of what are the TRUE essential things in our lives, of what should stay our absolute priorities. A beautiful reflection on life and death, friendship and love, bravery and fears, smiles and tears…
There’s beauty in sadness here, because feelings of everybody are unselfish, pure and intense. To care for, to support, to love, to suffer…
“Everyone grieves in his or her own way” : so right. Sara’s choice to joke about her near death is above all a way to keep force and courage in front of the inevitable, to fully savour each moment of life, stolen to death like tiny, priceless victories. That’s also what an old soldier called once “a way to tire fear”. Pure bravery. Smiling one. Admirable.
We should all pray to be able to act this way, as well as one couldn’t hope better supports than Alex and Alice’s ones : to bring laughs and smiles to light air all around. That’s also bravery.
I love your way to reserve such a delicate and gentle talk between the two women who love Bette more than anything else.
Of course we know – and they also know – that things would not have been so easy and light between them if Sara wasn’t dying. However, they have other essential common points, behind the huge love they share for the same person : both are caring, honest, genuine, warm, kind women. And intelligent. And sensitive. No wonder if they both had to be in Bette’s life – one as the eternal lover, the other one as the eternal consoler.
Lucky Bette ! One will spend a lifetime to only dream to be loved this way once – and our dear star wan all the best hearts ! (sighs !)
“There are so many shitty people in this fucking world, and yet we are losing one of the good ones! I just can’t figure it out.” God yes… Never I could be able to figure this so incredibly unfair thing too…
Now, Rachel, you really broke me with Sara’s last request to Tina : “Love her the way I wished she would have loved me.”
Oh, god, that was so sad – yet so beautiful… Words coming from the very bottom of the purest and more unselfish love ever.
I simply cannot express all I felt in myself reading this line… You know, sometimes one wishes to cry but tears aren’t coming and it’s painful : I’m feeling exactly this way right now – for a lot of reasons.
Yes, there’s beauty everywhere in this great part of your story – your so wonderful story…
Dear Flair-for-the-depicting-of-human-feelings, dear Rachel, your writing is as good and engaging as you are.
Thank you.
So much…
dang, sarah seems really cool. too bad we didn’t get to know her better. another great chapter, flair. I see tears ahead.
yea Bette, you’re interrupting somethin… I suppose you’d consider it luck that people like Sara exists… here to make the world a little more friendly to live in.
this is so sad…post soon
Sara is amazing. It is sad when someone such as her is taken from this world, but I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. It’s great that Tina has this time to get to know Sara. On to the next!
yet another beautiful heart breaking chapter, thank you!
This story and it’s wonderfully sad and enlightening and amazing turns and twists. it really is touching. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself with us.

Good chapter, when I read this story about Sarah’s sick here I have tears in my eyes, it’s sad for her, she is a amazing woman and care about another, hope there will be some miracle to help her go through and get well soon. Ok post soon please, thanks!
This was a wonderful Chapter, so very sad and a happy one. At lease Tina and Sara got to spend some time together I was heartbreaking. A lot of thing were done, hope Tina can find Sara sister before she dies.. thanks
Sara is just amazing. I wish things were reversed, but life is not always fair. Now that Tina has made a promise to a dying lady, she cannot break it. Right?! Even if B&T go through some more drama, which I am sure will happen, they will work through it. Please let it be so! Kiitos for another wonderful chapter! I’m packing my drawers full on kleenexes too =)
great chapter! thanks. KASBRE, how are things? nice to see you here:)
Amazing as always! I love everything abotu this story, especially the characters.
Ah, Flair you know you just have a way with a story. You get us right to the point where were gonna cry, then lighten it up just in time. Very nice. Why do I get the feeling Tina & Bette may be taking in Sara’s sister, hmmmmmmm.
K
Excellent as always. Love it.
amazing…and also sad..post soon!
Hey Flair that was an amazing chapter. i can feel the emotion in sara’s hospital room. she is a great person.
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
I do believe that I have been changed for the better,
And because I knew you,
Because I knew you,
I have been changed for good.
