Previously:
Tina saw the dilated pupils and the unfocused gaze, and knew that Bette
was physically and emotionally exhausted. She guided Bette into bed,
tucked her in, and turned to go. Bette’s hand shot up to grab hers.
Without a word, Tina climbed into bed beside Bette,
leaned tenderly over her, and kissed the tired eyes closed.
“Tina,” Bette’s faint whisper stilled Tina.
“Yes Bette?”
“I think you’d look great in leg warmers.”
“Uh, thanks.”
“No, thank you. And… I’m sorry…”
Tina replied by putting her soft lips over Bette’s,
catching the tail end of a moan with a quick flick of tongue.
“Go to sleep baby… I’ll be here when you wake up.”
Tina trailed her fingers in the cloud of curls that surrounded
Bette’s head like a halo. After tossing and turning for about ten
minutes, Bette was finally in dreamland.Tina’s car keys and sunglasses
were on the bedside table, beside a plastic bottle of prescription
medicine. Tina herself was lying on her side with her head pillowed on
her arm. She’d seen the antidepressants and wondered if Bette needed a
stronger dosage. Tina snorted. Ever since her mother wastaken by the
state and placed in a home for disturbed women, Tina had been
distrustful of those in the mental health profession. They seemed to
only care about diagnosing, about dispensing drugs, and neglected the
persons they were trying to help. Tina had been to enough
psychiatrists’ waiting rooms to know that confused people went in and
crazy people came out.
My Bette is not crazy, Tina thought fiercely. She remembered when
her mother used to become disoriented and wandered out of the house. It
wasn’t hard for her to sneak past the other family members. Usually it
was just Tina who was home, all of 10 years old. Her mother knew that
if the front door was locked, the window in her daughter’s room was
jammed and couldn’t close. Tina had woken up to many nights of seeing
her mother in a long grey nightgown ,disappearing out the window like a
Jack-in-the-box in reverse. The first time it happened, Tina had
screamed, imagining a scarecrow monster coming to get her. It took her
a moment to recognize her mother’s dead white-rimmed eyes looking at
her distantly.
“Mama, don’t go,” the 10-year old Tina had pleaded. Her mother had
looked out and mumbled, “There’s somebody out there,” before ducking
out the window. The next morning, a squad car brought the dishevelled
woman to the door. Tina’s father had come home about an hour earlier,
but was too angry to welcome home his wife. Tina had taken her mother’s
hand and led her to the breakfast table, where she poured cereal and
made coffee. Mrs. Kennard blinked once, twice, then seemed to see Tina
for the first time.

All I ask is that the ending be happy. Is that too much? Does that differ from what you had planned? HAPPY. Thanks!

But fergz1, it’s horrible. I feel like a horrible person for even thinking it. :D I shouldn’t want to make them suffer… I will sleep on it :)
Your Tina is so good for Bette. Take the story where the characters take you. You will know- just write. Oh my! My neighbor is singing, I don’t know what a whoopee is but I now know she loves it. I know what making whoopee is but I don’t think that is what she is referring to.
i meant to say, bette can take tina to italy (in everybody else’s stories they go to london, i got confused LOL)
I hope it’s a happy ending, but I can’t see how it will if Tina’s still a Pro.
Great story! As the writer you get to decide the course of the story, and I think i’m sticking to it no matter what. As long as you keep the characters as lovable and goofy and believable as you have done it so far. :-)
