Chapter 25
Bette pulled up outside of Lily’s house, she felt drained.
The email conversation with Tina had gone from the serious to the light hearted and had ended with her realising just how much Tina meant to her and how much she missed her.
But not only that, she realised that the words she had said to her only two days before…, those words that she had whispered into Tina’s hair…, they were instilled in her.
She wanted and needed to tell her again.
She wanted to walk up to her and just look into those adoring eyes and say ‘I love you’.
But she had to wait it out, wait until Tina was ready to come to her.
She walked slowly around the back of Lily’s house, she’d not really had time to think about Lily’s appointment, but there was something that Lily wasn’t saying…, something about the appointment.
There suddenly seemed to be a heavy feeling in her chest as she recalled the time she had taken her mother to her appointments in the last stages of her illness.
She had walked around the back of this house in the same way she was right now, but for some reason today felt similar and that feeling wouldn’t shift from her.
She turned the corner, leading to the decking at the back of Lily’s house.
She stalled as she saw Lily standing at the railings deep in thought.
“Lily…” she said quietly.
The older woman turned, the sadness on her face changing as a small smile crossed her face.
Bette walked across to her, noticing the stray tear that seemingly floated down her soft cheek.
They stood looking at one another for a moment, before Bette brought her hand to the woman’s cheek. She gently trailed her finger, catching the tear with her fingertip as her own eyes began to well.
It was at this moment that both women knew that Maxine was at the forefront of one another’s mind.
Lily spoke quietly as she saw the emotions in Bette’s eyes, “I wish she was here too…”
“Sometimes I just want to talk to her, you know…”

Oh Jo, why must you stop there!! You tease!! Great post, I hope Tina gets to tell Bette she loves her too soon!
Can I really be first? Some chapter this is. Both of the women Bette loves are having tests done at the same time? One lives, the other doesn’t and she is tied inextricably to both. Great update. PPS
wholy crap!! That is a lot of emotional shit to deal with…i hope Bette deals with it better than i would! Excellent update. Your posts are always amazing so never need to worry about it!
Woah. Well, I’m glad I wasn’t right about the pregnancy thing. Although, I guess having cancer would be way, way worse. Luckily its neither. Hopefully Tina can be there for Bette since the most stable influence in her life is dying. PPS.
Oh Dear Mate…Man this is pulling on my heart strings for sure! I feel horrible for Lily, glad for Tina, and just emotionally exhausted from all the tuggin’ you’re doin’! This is an excellent story and I love it more and more. Keep it up and post when you can. BTW…my computer is fine *snort*. Thanks for the support! LOL!
What a drama – I am totally enjoying the rollercoaster ride:-)PPS
Great chapter …loved it..poor Bette, its a lot to deal with, she is going to feel every emotion there is thrilled and releaved when Tina eventually tells her of her scare and heartbroken at Lily`s news..she`ll even feel guilt at some point at the relief of Tinas good news….I love Lily…she has a dignity about her that you can feel..a complete lady..im sure she will always be a presence in both their lives.Looking forward to the next chapter….tomorrow??…lol
woooooofff… that part was a heavy one… a heavy load FROM Tina’s shoulders… but alos a heavy one for Lily and especially for Bette : that damn crab that eats you alive from inside is one of the worst plagues… your post was very deep and emotional, and pulled on sensitive strings in my heart and mind… I hope the next one will be a little lighter, ’cause I don’t know if I can deal with it if it is not… anyway, once again, a very beautiful post… pps
Wow, lots of drama in this chapter. Lily and Tina, both important loves in her life…poor Bette. Great update Jo. I can’t wait until your next one!
Such emotions beautifully captured and written. Thanks for a woderful story and excellent chapter. You do an excellent job and you are one of my favorite writers
oh crikey, one just got the news of remission ( I think) the other a death sentence!!! THIS WAS A CRUEL WAY TO END THIS CHAPTER…….. R U GONNA FIX IT SOON?????? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! I LOVE LILY Y R U KILLING HER OFF???? Y I BEG OF U YYYYYYY????
WOW!!!! Jo, What’s woth all the Drama? I am so loving this. Thanks PPS
I guess it’s nearly Lily’s time to go. =/ This sucks! I like Lily. :(
Damn this is sad, so emotional. Drama coming, glad for Tina but sad for Lily, poor Bette. Please post more, thanks!
Well Jo, you certainly jerked us every which way with that one. Don’t suppose there’s any way that Lily could have gotten good news? Or now that Tina has her ‘all clear’, is Lily fated to die? IMO though that I have a very hard time believing the Lily you’ve portrayed for us would ever say that old people serve no purpose. That line really bothered me.
wow, so emotional, bette has so much to deal with but i’m glad tina is clean and now she can talk about it
Oh shit! Wow! OMG! Articulate aren’t I but what a chapter…….
Oh, man ! What a great chapter that was ! … I’m almost speechless. This is indeed an emotional rollercoaster you’re putting us through, Jo. And I’m loving this. In fact, I must say you’re sooo amazingly talented it’s disgusting, Jo. You shouldn’t even be allowed to compete with everybody else as best fan fic author, they should invent a new category just for you. ( wink ). Best Jobadge story or something. Thank you so much, Jo.
Oh geez Jo…a double whammie?? Damn! Or, as Tina says (because I feel I have a right to say it too, at least for poor Bette) … FUCK!
Hey Jo, That was wonderful, Sad yet hopeful, serene yet disturbed, secretive yet revealing. I do believe that as one door closes another one opens. Here Bette’s journey with Lily is finishing just as the adventure with Tina, side by side, is commencing. It is a time full of sorrow and a time full of rejoicing. Can’t wait to see this all unfolds. Jo your talent shine through ever chapter. Words seem such an inadequate method of conveying the joy and thoughts you r words bring. Please accept my gratitude and appreciation in thanks for all that you create. Your Loyal Fan.
whoa big cliffie there…pps
Wonderful chapter and so full with emotions, but Jo why must you stop here? you didn’t tell us what’s wrong with Tina and What dose “all clear” means? Did she think that she is pregnant or have some sort of infection?? please post soon dear don’t let us wait for so long.Thanks Happy holidays
This is all very emotional, Jo. We’re glad Tina can finally lean on Bette. Our best guess is that Lily can part, once she’s sure Bette is taken care of. PPS – Lucero & Marsha – Your fans from Mexico City
I guess one chapter of Bette’s life is about to close and another open. Bittersweet, but very good, Jo. Thanks
Hey mate… yes I’m still alive, but what about Jobadge? LOL. My first thought was ‘Oh poor Lilly’, but she seems more than okay with the situation. Right now you’re not very nice to our lovely BP… she sure has a lot on her plate. But I know you will make it up to her :o)) Hope to see a post soon xx
