Shane edged the back of her skateboard to the ground and flipped it upward. “Shay, that was so cool.” She high-fived him as soon as his board came to a stop.
He bent to tie his shoe and looked up at her. “You’re like really old and you know how to skateboard. How come?”
“First off, I’m not old. Dad’s old. I’m older than you, but not old. Second, I’ve been a skater for a while. In fact, you know what? Where I work, we have a vert ramp in the back. I can practice every day.”
“Are you for real?”
“I am.”
“Man, that’s awesome. I mean, I love this place cause they’ve got really good banks and I’ve been working on my slides and I can spend time on it here, but I can’t come everyday.”
“This place is bangin’.” Shane looked toward the river where Carmen sat on a bench watching them move toward her. “Nice view, too.”
The half-siblings were perspiring and laughing as they walked from the skateboard park toward the river’s edge of Clackamette Park. Shane’s skateboard was tucked under her arm and Shay carried his at his side. “Maybe I can come to LA? I could stay with you and we could skateboard.”
“Yeah.” Shane looked around anxiously. She wasn’t expecting that question, but the idea of it was the closest she felt to having family since her own childhood. “If it’s all right with Carla and Dad.” It sounded strange to just refer to her father as Dad and stranger still, a Dad whom they shared. Shane and Shay clicked. In her mind, he had always been in her life; everything seemed easy and familiar with him. There was nothing stilted, she wasn’t nervous, or insecure around Shay. She knew instantly that she wanted him to stay in her life. Shane had her doubts about what role her father would play in her future, but Shay was the sibling she had always wanted.
“Yeah, they’ll let me. They don’t know what I’m doin’ most of the time anyways.”
Carmen stood up and walked into the park, meeting them halfway. She had spent the last ninety minutes walking around, taking photos with her digital camera, and thinking about how much she loved ‘Shane, the Unattainable.’

Oh crap. I haven’t finished the last chapter. LMAO I must get on that.
Absolutely awesome. As always.
I cried a bit when Shane left Shay and Carla did what she did for drugs. I hope Shay comes to LA to be with Shane. Carmen and Shane are my fav couple, love them! Please post the rest soon:)
You’re a novelist, Portia, not just a fanfic writer. Simply amazing…..astounding. Complex, layered writing.
My goodness, Portia, you are prolific!! Indeed a novelist. I live near Portland so it was cool to see “home” being written about,and I felt so sorry for Shay, having to be left in that terrible situation. Now, about Tina, I have never been a fan but Tina in this story…WHEN will she get her head out of her ass? I went back a couple of chapters and saw again that it has all just been one thing after another for Bette, big huge life altering things, and she is just doing the best she can to hang in and do her best to take care of Tina 24/7, and Angelica 24/7…while ALSO trying to hold her family together after Tina’s sister tried to destroy her and take her child..and support everyone as well. Has Tina for one second thought about Bette?? Instead she has the gall to not only be making stuff up to be angry about, whatever happened with the watch..but to be angry because Bette protected her against a pervert who would sexually abuse incapacitated, ill people? Should Bette just have sat there and watched as Josh abused Tina..and others, and done nothing? Yeah Tina has been through alot, but none of it was caused by Bette, and I don’t see how Tina has shown love for Bette at all for everything else she has been through and is still going through. As usual, it’s always only about Tina.I don’t know what Marcus is up to but it’s not good.
Awesome! So much happened, and knowing there’s more to come is just ace! I can’t say I feel sorry for Danny, but I worry that bullet and that gun is going to get traced back to Dylan. I hope Shane can rescue Shay, and score for Alice outdoing Tonya. And poor Bette. Woman’s got to learn to stop trying to control everything, cos it’s bringing misery. Hopefully her and Tina work on that. Excellent update, can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings. Thanks, Portia.
I look back and find myself repeating myself, over and over…..Holy Crap portia…you’re amazing, brilliant, if you’re not a professional writer, well you should be or maybe you were in another lifetime. Regardless of length, longer the better, this story is amazing. To know that we have more coming and soon, I’ll be cking every day . The obvious time and effort you have put into this story is truly amazing, thankyou doesn’t ever seem to be enough….but thankyou!!!
What a fantastic story teller you are! Hats off to you. I have been waiting for your post and must admit that you continue to astonish me with your imagination and writing. I love how Danish is unfolding beautiful. Even without Ton-Ton, you have the wise Alice making sure that Dana would be recognised. Nice move. I totally love it. Thank you. pps.
You are indeed a novelist, Portia, and a bloody good one at that. You’re doing a beautiful job of filling in the show’s frustrating gaps, such as how Bette fared at the Buddhist retreat. And I love how you’re fleshing out the Marcus character; I would never have imagined he had so much dramatic potential. Bette and Tina both have work to do IMO: Bette needs to deal with her control issues, and Tina needs to recognize the insecurities that drive Bette’s behavior. Many thanks for the time and effort that went into this wonderful installment. I can’t wait until the next one!
you never disappoint- thanks!
I may be far behind in reading, but boy, do I love catching up!
I sort of think Tina’s mentally abusing Bette. It’s time for a sweet lady to appear and make Tina think if she’s still in love with Bette or not.
Good to see you back Portia! Another fantabulous chapter. In my defence of Tina, which is hardly ever the case, I can understand why she is upset and rightfully so. Granted Bette did what she did out of love and protection but Tina asked her to leave it alone. One of the things that irritates me about Tina is that she does not stand up for herself but that is who she is. She is not a fighter or one to be confrontational. From this point of view I would be pissed too. On top of which Bette has show this behavior in the past and it has gone unchecked for too long. A person like Tina, you cannot force her to be something that she is not or does not feel good about doing it, if she had felt that way then the issue would have been mute. I love Bette but this behavior would drive me bananas! She has to learn to listen and realize that she cannot control eveything. They both need to talk, listen, and try harder at understanding each other. Anyways, I would love to see more Sharmen! Post soon!
Hey Portia, Welcome back. You were sorely missed during your absence. It was completely understandab;e but now I am soo happy to have you back posting this magnificent and monster melodrama. I haven’t read it all yet as I am leaving that delight until the bedroom. I’ll be back to post my thoughts soon. All my thoughts are with you. Many thanks fro this magical chapter. Your Loyal Fan.
Tina is pissing me off and poor bette thats all I gotta say
