Chapter 47
The content as well as the way Angelica phrased her last statement captured Bette’s attention and caused her to intensify her gaze to a laser focus. “What do you mean” Bette asks trying to keep her voice calm. ‘Now maybe we’re getting to it” she thinks.
Angelica shifts a little in her seat, feeling the sudden intensity of Bette’s gaze. She knows what she’s implied but now wonders if she has said too much. The way Bette’s eyes are burning into her is giving her pause to think but somehow she needs to get this out.
Bette feeling Angelica loose her traction tries to keep her talking, “What questions have you asked your Mother that she hasn’t answered to your satisfaction?”
Angelica doesn’t need prompting twice. She quickly decides that she hasn’t mis-spoke that this is the direction she’s wants to go. Once her mind was made up she opens up her arms with her palms outstretched and begins. “Bette look at me … what do you see?”
At first Bette wasn’t quite sure what point Angie was trying to make. Furrowing her forehead Bette concentrated on what Angie was implying. This gave Bette a stern look that matched her cautious tone, “I see a smart, articulate young woman who has the best part of her life yet in front of her.”
Angie while flattered was a little exasperated by Bette’s answer. “No Bette … that’s not it!”
She then asks again. “What do you see?” This time putting more emphasis on the word see.
Now Bette really looks stern as she stares in at Angie.
Angie can’t wait for her response. “Oh come on Bette, you of all people should see this. LOOK AT ME! What am I? That’s my question. WHAT AM I?”
Angie can see the look of confusion cloud Bette’s face. If she wasn’t as exasperated she would look deeper and see the look of guilt shoot across as well.
Having come this far she now isn’t able to wait to get out what’s been burning in her heart for so long. “Bette what am I? Am I Black …. Or white? I don’t know. What would you say?”
Angie’s bluntness surprised Bette if she wasn’t sitting down she might have fallen back. “Is that what this has been all about? You being here right now? Your color?”
“Something bad happened that created me and my Mom is too good of a person to put the blame on me. Instead she just won’t talk about it.”

Bette really needs to call Tina and they need to sit down and talk to Angelica together and let the poor kid know it was not her fault. (and if you could do that really soon that would be great!!!)
What?!? Way to bring out the silent readers, is right, LOL!! Oh please Jwet – this is the season of good will and giving, right? PPS!!
geez, Jwet. You drop that twist and leave us hanging…. Naughty girl. Hadn’t thought of Angie blaming herself or Tina’s silence having to do with her birth. Can’t wait for Bette’s response.
Yap, silent reader here. You got me. Now please please another post soon. Thanks for sharing.
of course she would think its her fault. thats one of the problems when there is lack of open communication. it cant stay with you for the rest of your life. gratefully she bumped into weho!!! thx
Again I’ll say I really like this story. I hope Tina can get her s**t together and get on with their life together. Best of everything with all your hopes and dreams.
Poor angie,Bette needs to talk and she and Tina,need to help the child. Tina was trying to protect Angie and now she sees how hurt the girl is. Come on Tina both of you talk to Angie. thanks
This is sad, poor Angie!
WHAT!!!! One page!!!. Oops, way to bring out the silent readers, LOL. I have loved this story since the very beginning.
You are bad!,I don’t believe you did that
wow…i wonder why tina wouldn’t talk about it to angelica…i hope bette will make it right and explain and bring them all closer to each other
Oh Great One, seer of truth. Bette has the answer to this one huge question but she can not tell Angelica because that would give Tina away as well as Bette. The answer would make Angelica understand what has happened in their lives and why she is who she is. Can hardly wait for the next chapter to see what Bette’s answer will be. Hurry home Tina to your girls.
Yeah, Jwet, that’s a believable twist from a kid’s point of view that I hadn’t considered, to assume the silence is somehow their fault.
This is sad and true to life. Children blame themselves for so many things.
“Something bad happened that created me and my Mom is too good of a person to put the blame on me. Instead she just won’t talk about it.”This line made me want to cry. So often parents want to protect their kids, but end up creating doubt and confusion. Oh what is Bette to do, hopefully she will call Tina and they will talk to Angie together.
short but powerful. i guess it goes both ways… tina hasn’t told angelica about her past because she feels that she is protecting her. can’t wait to see how this will play out.
Tina, you so should have explained things to Angelilca by now. Bette I know will help her, but I feel sorry for what she’s going to say to Tina. Poor Angie, thinking something happend to make her bi-racial.
come on is that it! you big tease you.
I had to do a double take at the one page…oh well at least we are getting to the root of Angie’s struggles. Thanks for a great update no matter how short “wink wink”
