No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Chapter 24
It had been a few hours and the gang had finally settled into the house. Sara was asleep in the room that Alex had picked for her. It was huge and lined with floor to ceiling windows, giving her a perfect view of the ocean. When she first saw it all she could do was smile. The nurse had shown up just a few minutes afterwards, giving Sara a does of her painkillers. The nurse had pulled a chair into the bedroom and sat at the foot of the bed reading. Bette peered her head in just to check on her ailing friend.
Bette: Is she ok?
The nurse turned and gave Bette a smile.
Janice: She’s not in any pain right now.
Bette: Good.
Bette walked into the room, but right past Sara’s bed. She couldn’t watch her like that. Bette leaned her body against one of the windows. She closed her eyes and inhaled the scent of the ocean coming through the room.
Janice: It’s going to get worse from here.
Bette couldn’t respond.
Janice: I have a book, that maybe you should read.
The nurse dug through her bag, retrieving a blue pamphlet with black writing on the front.
Bette reached her hand out to take it. Her eyes rolled over each word on the cover before dropping it to the ground.
Bette: Signs of Death?? Are you kidding me?
Janice: It’s disturbing I know, but sometimes it helps people to know what to expect.
Bette: All I know is that we are all going to lose her, and no pamphlet can ease that pain.
Janice: I won’t argue you that. No one said it was fair.
Bette’s face flushed red with anger. She felt like she had been backed into a corner. It was round two Bette vs. life and so far life was kicking her *****. Bette’s hand began to tense as she raised it up. Before she could even realize what she was doing Bette had slammed her hand into the wall.
Bette: *****!!!
Sara: What’s going on?
Janice ran to Sara’s side as Bette curled up on the floor.
Janice: Nothing. Everything is fine. Go back to sleep.
Sara: Was that Bette?
Bette took a deep breath and tried to steady her voice.

wow that was beautiful..thank you for this wonderful chapter :)
I echo all the other comments. You must be one hell of a lover to have described that scene so eloquently. Your sweetie is one lucky woman if your words are from experience! Good job….
Damn that was so beautiful and amazing and hot, love it. Post soon, thanks!
Flair, you know how to make our hearts melt. Beautiful chapter. I’m off to bed now, think I’ll have beautiful dreams tonight LOL. thanks!
I am glad that B&T are back together…but I know how you are and I know drama is on it’s way.:) That is why I love your story.
First off, I really, really miss the wicked quote, so going with the flow, I will not leave one of my own, although I have come to enjoy doing just that!!! Please, please, please bring the quotes back!!! Next, on to your story, it was lovely, however, I don’t know that I don’t feel B&T rushed…especially considering that Sara is dying in the other room…I want there still to be angst between B&T. Anyway, this has come to be one of my favorite stories on the site…looking forward to the next posting.
That was soooooooo good!! It reminded me of an episode of Will & Grace when Nathan proposed to Grace during sex.. but this was so much better! They needed that and so did we. I’m so happy :) Can’t wait for more!!
Flair, you are amazing! I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed that. You know how to touch us..our hearts and other body parts. ; )
AWWW that last part was cute. I think they have all under estimated how hard it is to watch a loved one die…slowly. You know as much as I enjoy your writting, its hard to trust you when we have good times like these. LOL. Totally enjoyed this, Cant wait for the next post.
YAY! The only reason I visit this site on the weekends is to check for updates to this story. Tonight I wasn’t disappointed. Reading this chapter, was to me like watching Ep. 9 of last season. Bette and Tina together! Yes! Thank you!
OH Flair, Thanks 4 this beautiful chapter!!!!!!!
hey rach! i’m back from vacation and i just caught up on all the chapters that i missed. i don’t think that words can really describe how awed i was. i said before that sara was a hero just for her actions. but to do all that… to give up everything when so many people would cling to keep their lives as ‘normal’ as possible and just pretend it wasn’t happening. hero seems like an understatement now.
the last few chapters of this story have probably been the most dramatic things i’ve read in my life. i’ve lost a grandmother from old age that probably wasn’t helped by smoking. my dad was once taken to the hospital after being sick for 2 days. his stomach hurt so bad he couldn’t move. but after a week whatever it was passed. i was only 8 then but i remember i kept thinking ‘what if he doesn’t get better?’ reading your story about your father just brought this to mind. your writing made him a hero to everyone who read it.
on a happier note, (and it’s hard considering everything that this story’s dealing out) bette and tina have rekindled! some say death brings people closer together. i guess being surrounded by death gives others the need to feel alive. and bette’s definetely feeling that. but she’s seeming better now that she’s had t’s assurance that she’s there.
i’m also really happy that you’ll be trying to post more often. i thought you were doing pretty good with posting considering how life always gets in the way (it always does that!) i just can’t get enough of this story. from the first chapter to the last, it’ll be one hell of a ride. (but the last is gonna be far far away right?)
i think i’ve typed a fair bit so i should stop now. let sara leave well and i hope doesn’t hurt herself thinking about all this life and death should be fair stuff. love ya rach!
“every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end”
I challenge you to write a compelling story with these two happy and in love. Show IC how to do it.
This chapter is a marvel !
No way to play anymore. No place for any insecurities or fears anymore. “No just, no if’s, no maybe’s” : so right !
Far of the play’s stage, far of life’s contigencies, the house where Sara will slowly die out has not only a view on the Ocean, this so poetic and quiet symbol of eternity and immensity, but also a view into Truth : next to the coming death takes place life’s hopes and so Sara’s final moments are mixed with Bette and Tina’s final reconnection…
You gave us something deeply beautiful and truly powerful here, Rachel. Whatever will be the new drama waves after that, finally we had – I mean, the huge amount of B&T lovers here ! – such a timeless moment far of everything else but love. True love. Shared love. So after reading and reading again this piece of happiness (but yes ! you don’t expected our soooo long waiting would be satisfied with only one reading, no ?), we can fully enjoy the best before any worst to come and that’s great !! Even a drama passionate needs a bit of sweetness and passion from time to time, after all ! (lol) At least I needed it – and so I thank you a LOT for the relieving reading’s pleasure today !
And let me tell you how much I loved the final lines… Well, Bette wasn’t the only one to smile here ! And, well, wasn’t it the most delightful way to say “yes” all along, until this SO cute “Of course I’ll move in” ? God, and now it’s past 3:30 a.m. here and I wonder how I could sleep after all these emotions ! When I said once you were a dangerous charmer, well, I mean it more than ever ! Naughty girl…
Have a great new week, writer of my heart, and thank you once more ! ^_^
P.S.: Do you want a proof about how addicted I can be with your story ? Just know that I’m very ill from Friday (what painful stomach aches !) and that it was really hard to stay sitted long enough to read stories and write comments as usually. BUT the way to resist when I saw your name on the list tonight ? No way ! So I interrupted few times to laid on my bed a while and finally I was able to achieve my comment. Now am I not a devoted reader, hmm ?
Here’s a new ad for you : “Flair’s drama story : stronger than the most vicious stomach aches !” (lol)
Is having a goofy grin on my face after reading this chapter, normal?? =D
With all the drama in fan fic land lately, this one did put a smile on my face..
I don’t have to repeat myself and tell you what you already know.. YOU’RE THE BEST..
that was cute, adorable, sweet and sexy. Well, well, you’ve written an excellent drama, wrote yourself out of quite a difficult perdicament between B & T. Awsome and yeah… facing loss is never easy, no matter how many times you’ve gone through it.
That was just Aaaahhh! Please more soon
Yes, oh thank you Flair. You knew how we were all looking for that. Its unfortunate about Sara, but I think its fantastic the way the group banded together to at least try and make her time left semi pleasant. Can’t believe they stopped so BEtte could ask a question, but gotta love Tina making her wait. Looking forward to your next post as always.
Very nice Flair. Great chapter as usual. Keep it up.
SWEET!
f*ck, that was amazing.
i’ve been out of town for the past five days, and your story is what i missed most. scary.
Two things: 1) Amazing. This chapter was simply amazing. 2) How conveeeenient that they happened to have a bag of frozen peas in the just rented house. What were they thinking of cooking, pray tell? I dunno what happens when ‘life gets in the way’ of your writing but it’s doing something good. Your last few chapters have been powerful stuff. Keep it up! And bring some of what you’ve been taking to the NYC party. I wanna try it out so I can write like you. Damn.
K
Excellent chapter. LOVE it! Glad they are working things out. I hope they really do move in together. lol Can’t wait for more.
Just…wow!
Simlpy amazing and breathtaking ….loved it and i can’t wait for more .
wow! thank you!
Awesome! They are finally back together. Kiitos! It’s nice to see life continue even under these horrible circumstances.
im luvin it
How sneaky of Bette! Great chapter flair. It’s just splendid that B&T were able to reconnect. Thanks!
AAAWWWW!! The last scene really did it for me: “…Once the door had shut, Bette let a small smile creep across her face.”! That´s awesome! Hell, Flair, you are awesome! Thanks for the update! 5 stars!
the last sentence was cute..hehee..~ so glad you could post…post soon!!!
Fantastic. Thanks for giving us this chapter.
Thisisbad. Thisisveryverybad.
I admit my mind is running amok right now…’Cause I’ve been seeing ominous signs. And you are really scaring the hell out of me. But I’m begging you. Don’t do it. I don’t wanna say what not to do, because if you wanna do it, you WILL do it…and I don’t wanna give it away if you do do what I hope you don’t do that I think you might do. Do ya know what I mean? ‘Cause ya know, you really can be a big do-do.
Ya got me hanging onto the ceiling by my fingernails, Flair. I think you’ve created a new genre: the dramedystery.
Thank you we all needed this, The last was the best and she thought Bette was asleep. thanks
Oh THANK GOD for the power of love! It makes grown women weep, makes blind women talk about seeing again
…and makes former lovers move back in…YEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Have I told you that you are one of my favorite alternative beginning T and B writers.If I haven’tbefore I have now. I hope they do make the move.Sometimes I think that when you come close to death it can bring you closer to the people that you love.Great chapter Flair.
I have been reading the whole story I got to say Im hooked, please post as soon as you can
