    Author Notes:

    Duffy talks, Bette and Tina listen… Post S6.

     

    “We’ve determined that it wasn’t an accident.”

    Bette felt her face flinching as though she had been slapped. A silence fell and she knew she should speak up – she had to speak up – but she couldn’t. It had happened. They were going to arrest her. Oh God, why did Angelica have to be here to witness this? Not in front of Angie, she thought over and over again. This can’t happen in front of her.

    Bette stared at Duffy until her eyes went unfocused. She finally tore her eyes away. “Angelica, go play in your room.” she said, her voice hard like stone.

    Angelica looked up from the game on the box of cereal in front of her that she’d been intensely studying while she ate. She raised her eyebrows. “But I’m eating, Mama ” she said.

    “Bette –” Tina broke in.

    “Go, right now, and close your door, Angelica,” Bette carried on, louder, watching as her daughter, shoulders slumped and face starting to crumple, slid off her chair and left the room. Bette watched, resolutely suppressing her instinct to pick the little girl up and hug away her hurt. She avoided Tina’s look, took a steadying breath and turned to Duffy again. “You were saying?”

    Duffy was looking at her curiously. Bette could see her sidekick, a tall, unshaven, stocky man, glancing around the kitchen with a disinterested manner. This type of thing must be routine for him, but Bette thought he would be more alert.

    “It wasn’t an accident,” Duffy repeated. “We have reason to believe that Jennifer Schecter took her own life.”

    Bette frowned. “I don’t understand. I thought…”

    “That can’t be,” Tina cut in. “Jenny was not suicidal. She was a lot of things, but she wasn’t that.”

    Bette was still reeling as Duffy began to calmly outline how they had drawn that conclusion. The unusually high level of prescription drugs in her system, her discussions with her girlfriend about her will, a history of self-harming and a previous attempt on her own life.

    Bette could scarcely breathe. They weren’t there to arrest her and haul her away in handcuffs. They were here because they thought Jenny had killed herself. Her sense of relief was so strong she nearly staggered under it, but some small, self-preserving part of her brain demanded that she hold herself together. She gripped at the counter.

    1. You’re killing us Omalley. Please don’t let Bette have done anything physical to harm Jenny. The way Bette reacted to Alice yelling about Jenny in the pool still says, she had nothing to do with it…I know it’s your story and I have faith that you wouldn’t allow Bette to do anything…plus, if you did, there is no way Tina would forgive her. PPS

    3. Damn O’Malley, I knew when I turned that last page that’s where you were going to stop! Well, my “spidey sense tells me that Bette is going to tell Tina about the blackmailing Jenny was doing to her and the picture she had of Bette and Kelly. Drama…drama…drama is on the way! Way to keep us all lined up for your next update…marvelous chapter!

    4. Oh My God! Just when I was settled and feeling secure…wth is Bette going to confess to Tina? This story goes from one frayed nerve to the next – mine and Bette’s. I really believe that Bette would off Jenny if she got in the way of her family. Bette could not bear to go through being estranged from Tina again, although what she confesses next may be the undoing of their relationship. The tension is delicious! Thanks!

    6. Shit, Bette’s not off the hook yet. But I still believe she didn’t do it. I’m dying to find out what’s this dark secret she’s been keeping to herself all this time. Thanks as always for this well-written, suspense-filled chapter, omalley! Can’t wait for your next post! :>

    7. Damn girl that was evil ending it there lol…pps I need to hear what Bette has to say I don’t see her having anything to do with Jenny’s death but you never know…thanks a bunch for posting :)

    8. araparatus-“I yelled BOO! and over she went.” Now, that was funny. I couldn’t stop laughing at that. What the heck will Bette have to say now? I just know she didn’t kill her. Please don’t let her be guilty, except in her mind. Because if she had anything at all to do with Jenny’s death, then Tina will walk away for good and that would kill both of them. And there would be no going back for Tina. Why couldn’t Bette just go to the observatory and talk out loud to no one and confess whatever the hell she is talking about confessing to Tina and no one would be the wiser. Damn and Hell. Thanks for posting.

    17. It would be a shame if anyone would be arrested for Jenny’s death. Maybe it was like araparatus said.:) Jenny was always trouble. I had not missed her if she killed herself in season 2. She was just really really crazy – and not in the adorable way like Alice.

    18. whoa! You didn’t stops there, did you? And when did this happen? I had managed to convince myself that Bette was just worried because of the circumstantial evidence of Jenny’s threats. Wow! Great job, omalley!

    19. WOW! Now that’s a cliff hanger that tops any other cliffie out there…& a most cruel one at that! You MUST follow up ASAP!!!!! (Please) :)

    21. OMG, Tina is never going to be able to get past whatever Bette will say. Even if it was an accident Bette has lied so much that it’s going to be hard to get past all this.

    22. I’ll give you credit o’malley- you are willing to do what IC didn’t have the nerve to do. This should be interesting either way. THANK YOU.
