Bette looked across the small distance to one of her best friends and smiled. Looking away, she felt a soft hand reach for hers. Glancing back to the smiling face, she followed the free hand that was wildly gesticulating out of the window.
“That one over there! With the flowers,” Tina cried, excitedly, “Can you see? Dad says he really likes it, so that’s the one we’re getting. Isn’t it great?”
“It looks beautiful” she said, keeping her eyes to the blonde’s face as she commented. It really was a picturesque home, but Bette was more enthralled by the enthusiasm playing out on her friend’s face. Tina gave up twisting in her seat for another view of the fast retreating house and looked back to her friend. As she did, Bette looked away shyly, and began taking in the images portrayed through the window.
At 14, Bette Porter and Tina Kennard had been friends for 4 years. In that relatively short time-span, they’d become close. Like all good friends, they’d relished the laughs together and they’d braved the tears united. They unconsciously committed themselves to being there for the other whenever it was needed. That’s why when Tina came out to her friends about her sexuality, Bette had remained unwaveringly at her side.
There had been a number of ‘friends’ that were unwilling to accept it at first. At such a young age, it was often referred to experimentation but as Bette had said, “When you know, you know.” That’s why, a year on, as they sat together in the back of the speeding minivan with their friends, Bette wanted Tina to be the first to know her secret. The little bit of information nobody was yet privy to.
Bette felt a slight nudge from Tina and she looked away from the passing landscape. She saw Tina offering her cell phone with a message typed on the screen. Bette took it and smiled; they often conversed this way when there were others present. It was like passing notes in a classroom, with less chance of interception.
[T:] I hope u don’t mind me still holdin ur hand
Bette smiled. Her grin was partly because of their still conjoined hands, partly because of Tina’s need to justify it. Throughout their companionship, they’d been very physical; they hugged one another, kissed the other’s cheek, linked fingers while they walked and talked. It was never a sub-conscious admission of hidden desires towards one another; it was merely two friends being affectionate.

Hey, where is the note..? So good to see you posting again. PPS.
Please continue.
wow… 14 seems a very young age for coming out (to others I mean), it must be very difficult, since at that age you cannot be independent and you have virtually no rights to your sexuality (depends on the country, though) And falling in love with your “best friend”, however classical, doesn’t make it easier, especially if things go wrong (or if you are afraid they could go wrong), ’cause it only makes them worse… Thanks for sharing this story with us, it’s very “pulling”, and like others, I’d like to know the rest of it, especially if it’s happy :-))
Ahgggg, why do you stop here??!!! are you trying to kill me with anticipation??
Bummer you stopped just when Bette was going to find out what her heart wanted.
This is good and like it!
