The Journey to You – Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Day 11. Sam’s Apartment. San Francisco.
The last of the boxes had been loaded into the truck. Tina confirmed the address and the driver set off on his way. She went back into the apartment and looked through all the rooms one more time for a trace of her. There wasn’t any. She had let Sam keep the majority of the furniture, deciding to buy her own in LA. Neither of them wanted the bed. Most of the appliances in the kitchen were Tina’s, and they were in the truck heading for LA. New appliances for Sam had been delivered the day before. Tina sighed. This was for the best, but that didn’t take away the heavy feeling that sat in the pit of her stomach, constantly reminding her of the pain she had caused.
She placed her keys on the kitchen bench. She thought about writing a note but decided against it. She picked up her small suitcase and walked out the door without a backwards glance. It may have been her home for 3 years. But now it was Sam’s.
Tina’s mind wandered back to Friday night.
Day 6. Tina and Sam’s Apartment. San Francisco.
She had gone to bed after talking to Bette, exhausted by her day and knowing the weekend held nothing but work and packing for her. She had awoken at 3am when Sam came stumbling in the door, obviously drunk. Tina had got out of bed and was about to leave the guest room to make sure Sam was ok when she froze. There were two drunken voices, both whispering loudly in some kind of attempt to be quiet. The stranger broke into giggles and Sam tried to shush her through her laughter. Tina heard the master bedroom door open and close and she turned and crawled back into bed and tried to find the sleep that her body needed. But it was going to be elusive tonight – within moments heavy breathing and moaning could be heard from the master bedroom. Tina rolled over and placed a pillow over her head, she was not ready for this, she could not take this. The moans from both women got louder and she then heard the familiar sound of Sam coming. Tina flew out of bed and got dressed within seconds. She tore out of the guest room, grabbed her keys and raced out of the front door of the apartment, not caring if the drunken couple having sex could hear the front door slam. She didn’t know where she was going; she just knew she couldn’t listen any longer.

The pain…the anguish of breaking up. Every once in a while when I think I am ready to date again, I read something like this, or see it happen to a friend, and think that maybe I’ll just wait a little while longer. :) Very well written, thank you.
Wow that feels so real! but on a brighter note did you just say that Bette will soon be in San Fran?? PPS
Tina is so sweet and gentle.I could see Sam being hurt and angry. At least with a clear heart,and nothing but some kisses she was able to say NO we didnt. Breaking up is hard to do,sometime for the best for all. thanks
looking forward in the Journey
Great update and this was pretty painful for Tina, but my guess is the worst is yet to come? I mean I don’t think Alice is gonna be a walk in the park hey? can’t wait for more!
Whew, that was tough for both of them, but better now than once they got to LA. Tina will feel much better when Bette gets there, but I wonder if Sam will see them together? Hmmmm, that would make for an interesting chapter. Please post soon and good luck with your paper!
You really capture the heartache of breaking up even if one party is moving on to another relationship. Excellent dialogue.
U did that with great sensitivity…breakups r so hard…and can actually prove to have been the wrong decision but sometimes the choice made is irreparable…I hear u Seahurst.
Now that is something to look forward too. Will Bette and Sam ever cross path? Not impossible eh
YAY. Bette is coming. WooHoo.PPS
Breaking up does suck even if you were the one doing the breaking up.Trust me I should know.Dating sucks too and I never know how to do it.I feel bad for Sam even though she knows that it wasn’t working.Alice is not going to be happy either.At least Bette is coming.
How you wrote Tina and Sam’s talk was so real and painful. As always you are doing a great job!
