Love and Pride chapter 35
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS
TUESDAY 16TH DECEMBER 1986.
Bette and Helena finally emerged from a busy Barnes and Noble and looked at each other
“We need a coffee and a sit down “ Helena declared
They were both carrying several carrier bags. They made their way along Washington Street until they found a quiet coffee shop and deposited themselves in a corner and Helena walked to the counter.
When she returned to their table with two coffees and a couple of slices of wicked looking chocolate cake Bette was looking through a small pocket size photographic wallet. She placed the coffees and cake on the table and waited for Bette to look up at her.
“Its only ten days more “ she said softly
“Its been too long “
Helena rested her hand on Bette’s. She knew that they were both enjoying being home with their family and back to the familiar city of Boston.
But Helena knew more than anyone else how much Bette was missing Tina who had gone back to Holly Springs North Carolina when they had all arrived in America after term had ended on the 12th of December. They had all flown back to the States together and Helena had seen how saying goodbye had shattered her sister.
Bette was enjoying being at home but there was a sadness about her that all the family had seen -she was badly missing her blonde girlfriend
“Have you spoken to her lately ?”
“Two nights ago “
“Not last night ? “
“No – sometimes its hard for her to get some privacy “
“Is she okay ?”
“Missing me – she cried on Sunday “ Bette’s eyes misted up
“You two can talk every day “
“Its hard for her “
“Its hard for both of you – is obvious how much you love her “
“Its hard to explain how I feel “ Bette began as she took a fork and dug it into the rich gooey chocolate cake.
“It’s not that hard to fathom out – I had to help you when the two of you said goodbye “
“Thank you for that “
“Its no problem, I just hope that the two of you sort something out so you can spend Easter together – not to mention the summer holidays “

December 1986? Well, I was about 8 months old at the time, such heavy drama is too hard to handle for a baby! It won’t let it get even worse than that, will you?

See what you do to me, Ally? A double post and the first time with a mistake, too
omg! PLEASE, PLEASE don’t make the drama any worse than this! I mean, tina slept in a bus station for pete’s sake! I need to go back to chapter 1… was this always set in 1986? and the fact that mad maggot was 8 months old makes me cry…jeez i’m old
I kept wondering what the 1986 was about. I thought it was a flashback then thought, “Nah not if Helena is walking somewhere to buy food.” Then the mention of AIDS made sense. I’m just old enough to remember posters in school that said stuff like, “You won’t get AIDS from hugging” and whatnot. Bette and Helena’s conversation was sweet. So sad about Tina though about being thrown out 3 times in one day.
Love it. You are the bomb. PPS
Silly Tina, if only she’d called Bette the night before, her bus would soon be pulling into Boston, if not already arrived. And fuck all those biggots, who needs them when you’ve got Peggy to be your fairy god mother-in-law? Not to mention the comforting arms of Bette to soothe the hurt. With all the trans-Atlantic travel, I’m reminded of the now ancient Petula Clark song advising us not to sleep in the subway, which I took to heart all those years I lived in New York, where I moved as a young adult way, way back in ’82.
okay… guess I forgot the original 1986 setting for the story! that can’t be good for one of your stories… yicks! you’re going to give us a twenty year heartbreak, aren’t you? hope not! maybe you just want to use some fun 80s music! for example, Tina’s family telling her to, “beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it…” lol!!!
Yeh Like thats going to happen Tina will get the shuttle, Bette will be in her car and on her way to pick her angel up, wonderful chapter PPPPS
Hey funnyone, love the fairy god mother-in-law comment about Peggy! ;) Ally, you’re the bomb AND the forever dramaqueen, babe! That’s very sad for Tina. Please let her father be okay with this and be there for her… at least. But in anycase, she’ll have Bette. That chappy was sweet and I like that Helena came around… (young)Yodah striked again! Thanks.
Ummm…Wasn’t this story supposed to be sweet and drama-free? I think that’s what you said at first, but well, coming from you, I guess we should have known it would turn out this way… I love this story anyway… PPS!!
poor T but damn me, 86? talk about not even born lol, infact not even created rofl.
like the way the story is refelective of the times. the sweatshirts (really big then), the ignorance about aids and the fact that people hardly owned mobile phones, so obviously tina couldn’t have called bette directly and had to ring the residence.
Aww, my heart is breaking for Tina ! The pain and hurt she must be feeling from her family and so “called” friends. Unlike, some of your fan fic readers, I am **ahem** a bit older ( not going to say by how much, LOL!) but old enough to remember the fear people had towards AIDS in 1986. AIDS awareness & education has come a long way, but there is still more to do. Peggy & Melvin are wonderful to make sure TIna is reunited with Bette as soon as possible. She is going to need to be with people who care, understand and love her. Great post, Ally! Thanks.
I fail at life. I went back to the first chapter and saw 1986. *puts head on desk and cries* How did I forget that detail?!
1986 I had 2 grand children then and my oldest son was 33 That really make me old. Almost older than dirt. Love that Peggy and Melvin are so understanding about Tina. Poor baby. Guess when you come out,you find out who your friends are and how your family feels .Guess she feels like Bette is her only hope thanks
don’t we all love Peggy?! Poor Tina! had to go through all that in one day… and 1986? I wasn’t even born!!! I was in my mama’s belly back then, lol Anyway, post soon, k??? amazing chapter!
December of 86. Wow I about 1yr. n some change. But damn that is heavy. Tina’s Mom is a PRICK! I’m so happy I can leave comments via my phone now. You guys have no idea how much I missed this!!
thank god peggy was home when tina called…tina is better away from those biggots and in bette’s arms
Well that ertainly sucks for Tina but on a good note Bette and Helena seem to back to normal. I know this is a TiBette story and I love that but moreso i see it as being a story about 2 sisters, Bette and Helena. That’s why I’m so happy to read that their relationship is on the mend.. Can’t wait to read where you go next in the story. Post soon.
Wow. You just keep getting better & better :DGlad to see the puty’s fixed. You’ve been missed!!!
Oh gosh… has this been always set in 1986? No wonder, I was wondering why Tina didn’t call Bette’s cell in the first place too… and then… oh the ’86 answers all that… :P Hmm… I think I first saw the big box army kind of cell phone when I was 6? or 7? hmm…
You are the drama queen Ally! Poor Tina! It was really fortunate that Peggy was at home. Now Bette need not wait for ten more days. Can’t wait for the next chapter…
i forgot the mandatory…Please post soon! pretty pl
we obviously funnyone and ally and i must be the oldest ones commenting at present. id had my 3rd child by 1986. cool huh? i love bigoted people. not many here in utah though ;P ahahahaha. thanks.
this was a bad dream? because the last time they was together and happy after a great weekend! but if this is real then Bette should run to get her girlfriend and support her.
I JUST CAUGHT UP…LUV IT!!!!!
1986..I love it. You can take this story on for quite some time. I can’t wait for them to reunite.
At 1986, I was about 4 or 5. Poor Tina, she need Bette, she and Bette will see each oter soon, thanks to Peggy. Ok let see whats next, thanks!
