Where You Go There You Are
Chapter 58
Bette smiled and waved when she walked past Angelica and Tina. She wanted to say something smart and witty but all that came to mind was “Have a good flight.” What was that?
Bette meandered her way back to the back of the plane. The stewardess was standing in her seat and she had to ask her to move before she herself could move in. The only problem with having a seat in the last row of the plane was often the crew stuck their own carry on bags in the overhead before you could even get close to your seat. This was the case now. Looking at the full overhead bin Bette resigned herself to having little legroom and put her bag under the seat in front of her.
It hadn’t taken her long to figure out that she was way, way back from Angelica and Tina. Being in an aisle seat allowed her at least to lean out and look up to where Angelica was sitting in an aisle seat too. Bette was able to glimpse Angelica but Tina was totally obscured. It seemed a little symbolic to Bette.
The possibilities were endless when it came to Angelica but with Tina the vision wasn’t as clear. What could happen between her and Angelica seemed all bright and shiny. Angelica was smart, clever and talented. All of the attributes Bette would have wished in a daughter. For a moment Bette wonders how different Angelica would be if she had been her life earlier. It’s just a momentary thought that races in before Bette shakes herself releasing it. There was no room in her life for the negative thoughts of what if. Bette knows from personal experience that road is never ending and never ends happily.
She had promised Tina she was looking for happiness and she felt positive that it couldn’t be found by looking backwards with regrets. Yes there was still so much future to be lived and Bette wanted to give Angelica a secure footing in whatever a life she chooses to have. But she did allow herself one thought. It was the thought of what pleasure could be found in walking around any of the many museums in New York. Her and Angelica, together taking in the art. Looking it all over but more importantly the discussions they would have about it all. Bette smiled to herself this was something she was absolutely going to make happen.

So at the end of this year and the beginning of a new year, I’m putting you in the top Ten,that has given us memories, Looking for a sequel Wishing you good health, and a bright New Year. HAPPY NEW YEAR
“Tina is there with her arm around Angelica’s waist, smiling. It’s a smile that felt like home to Bette, it brings tears to her eyes.” it can’t get any more perfect than that. thank you for this wonderful story. here’s to the New Year and second chances!
Jenny, thank you so much for all your efforts on this story, it was a great read. Have a happy healthy New Year. Md
Happy new year to you too :) It was wonderful to know a little more about what was going through Bette’s mind during the flight, that one stop must be at Tina’s house :p I wonder if Angie will ask Bette about her past relationship with Tina and if she will bring up the C word :S
Well, that makes a good start to the New Year. Thank you for the nice calm happy ending. Happy New Year.
yes fergz ill chant with you. i think i do remember her saying there could/would be more to this story. have a delightful and wonderful year. thx for your words.
Happy New Year. Thank you for this tumultuous but beautiful ride with Bette, Tina and Angelica. Remission can last a lifetime and does not have to end in the death of the person. I hope that in the sequel that Bette remains healthy. Thanks to your editor for all the work that was done.
Thank you. Happy New Year. Be prepared for more bribes coming your way…
I just read this story today from start to finish. All I can say is what a wonderful writer you are and what a beautiful story. I certainly agree the the others that a sequel is calling and I will guarantee that I will be a reader from the beginning!
Happy 2009! I’m hearing sequel calls.. =D
Happy New Year and thanks for this compelling and heartbreaking story. I am so sorry you have ended it, but you have chosen a beautiful spot, full of hope and opportunities. Thank you.
oh my gosh, i just love this story. plz come back soon. and thks for all the hours of entertainment. happy and prosperous New Year.
Thank you for an exquisite story. Bette knew she was “careless with Tina’s heart” and was determined to make up for it. I’m hoping the sequel arrives soon and hope to see you soon. Peace.
It’s sequel time!!! PLEASE!!!This must continue….your writing is just too good.
Already down the road, waiting for the catch up! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, You do know, we all will be looking for a sequel
Don’t know what happened to my first comment…sorry if this shows up twice. I loved this story. I hope you write a sequel. If we beg?? Please, please! *On my knees* Thanks for this story! Happy New Year!
Jwet, thanks! I’m truly blessed to have you as my dear friend. And of course, I’m lucky to be one of the firsts to read you stories….has it only been four years??? WOW, and I’m looking forward to several more stories in the years to come! (bribery can be arranged! :-) Have a great 2009!
Maybe I will start the chant “Sequel, Sequel, Sequel” Think it will work? Hope to see you soon. T
Happy New Year!! Thank you again for sharing your talent with all your readers. We have truly been blessed by your stories. I hope we will be blessed by many more in the future. The very best to you and yours.PPS
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined-Henry David Thoreau.HAVE A BLESS 2009!!!
great story.. My heart was racing while Bette was stuck in the plane while Tina and Angelica were off in the airport… I was truly hoping that Tina would wait… I wonder if Angelica had anything to do with that? Great chapter… Cant wait to read the next. Happy New Year Jenny!
Happy New Year Jwet and yes I’m with everyone else this story definitely needs a sequel. You have written a beautiful story, Thank you
That was such a wonderful story. I have loved reading it!!! Thank you so much. I do hope we get more stories from you in the New Year. Thank you again Jenny
Once again Jwet, you’ve been able to unlock the doors to Bette’s thoughts. I love how at peace she is and yet she still struggles with her control issues but keeps them in check. I loved that Tina was waiting for her. I truly believe you don’t need to have Bette get sick again (you’ve covered what that meant already) and have Tina be the caretaker of Bette’s illness, Tina can be the caretaker of Bette’s heart instead. I can’t wait for the sequel. Happy New Year to you. Did you ever imagine that you would have such a following after 58 chapters without Bette and Tina kissing? : ) Hugs
Think I’ll add my voice to the chant, “Sequel, Sequel, Sequel!”. Happy New Year!!!
A very happy and healthy New Year to you and yours, Ms. W. May your wishes come true. I’m so glad you came back to us with this story and I’m taking your last line as a promise.
Jwet that was great.To have them together is the most important thing. Seems that Bette has learned a lot during her self-imposed absence from their lives and during her illness. Now maybe she will get the chance to makes somethings right. This was a wonderful journey and now we will wait patiently for the sequel. Get some rest and have a very happy and blessed new year.
Thank you so much for bringing us this wonderful story. I do hope you find time for a sequel. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Happy New year!!!! This was great…you big softy you!!! thanks
Interestingly, it says it’s been over 50 chapters and yet it seems like it isn’t long enough. I want to read more of this story, but who’s to argue with an author who feels the story’s been told? So thank you for this story, and have a great year (and more) ahead.
Absolutely perfect!!!!
Hey Jwet, have a happy New Year and thank you for the story, it was great as you are. I definitly think we need a sequel. You know they actually get together, Angelica finds out why she’s bi-racial, they move back to Weho. Enjoy and we look forward to seeing something from you soon.
Twas lovely and I happily get on the sequel train with everyone else!
I feel I’m echoing the sentiments of everyone else in stating that the end of the story came much too soon. Your writing is remarkable and such a pleasure to read. I would love to see you revisit this trio at some point … just how much grovelling would it take… I’m not above begging! Wishing a wonderful New Year to you and your family.
That was awesome, now let B&T talk and work thing out. Please post more, thanks!
This last chapter seemed sort of vague. Like how did Tina take the news of Bette’s remission? Or did she ever explain to Angelica the entire story? We all assume that there is a happy ending and that is great, but it would have been nice for you to fill in the blanks first.
