Chapter Four
Bette could hear sounds before her conscious mind became aware enough to force her eyes open. It was usually this way when she came around from one of her little journeys. Bette liked to think of them as little trips to no man’s land. Actually at first there wasn’t any thinking about them at all. Instead it was pure instinct on Bette’s part, her need to get away from the repulsive existence that is her life. Freedom drove her. Escape from the unrelenting demons that dogged her every thought.
At first the voices where little nudges, telling, caroling, reminding her about what was wrong. These voices have always been with her. Small doubts that she can always remember having. They ebb and flow in her mind, expressing the sentiments that Bette knew in her heart to be true. She was never good enough, not ever. These anxieties spoke to her giving her the low down on all the miscues that could happen if she strayed. Strayed from the right path, there always seemed to be a path someone had laid out on her behalf, her father, her professors, the big money donors or the CAC board members. Follow the right path and success would be hers. She worked so hard at everything she’s had. It gained her some level of disguise. For a period of time she fooled everyone, her employer, her Father, her friend and most importantly the one who meant the most, Tina.
Success brought Bette happiness, allowed her to acquire many pretty things, to fall in love but most of all it kept the insecurities away and put her on the right treadmill. Success became Bette’s controlling knob for the volume. The more success she obtained the lower the volume but when problems arose the volume would build. Often increasing to blaring volumes within her mind. The shear volume of it would cause Bette to snap. Biting off the heads of those closest to her. She had no tolerance for stupidity or ignorance because they only lead to failure and failure had to avoided at all costs. Bette was able through this success method to almost ignore the voices all together. But success is a constant battle one which demanded all of her time and attention, a never-ending battle to keep self-doubt away.

I relate to Bette’s state of mind, been there; on legal drugs to control
WOW!!! Poor Bette!!! I just hope helena gets put on her ass and Bette is the one to do it. Thank you
Tough to read but clearly striking a cord with some of us. Great story.
So intense Jwet. I have faith that Tina will bring Bette back and then they can both kick Helena’s ass!
Please Tina don’t leave Bette, she really needs you. I feel for Bette. Nobody deserve that, nobody. this is hard to take in. Have I already said I hated Helena? GOD this hurt.
It sounds like Bette has gotten herself into a serious addiction. I hope Tina has the strength to stick with her through this. She’s probably going to be very difficult to be around for a while.
really intense chapter…i do hope Bette will accept help from Tina; and i hope Helena will get what she deserves…looking forward for some happy times
The voices will continue to get louder. I hope that Tina will have the ability to get Bette go get the help she needs. For once I actually like Candace, kick some Helena ass.
Jeez…this is deep. Bette is in the grips of one serious downward spiral. My heart breaks for her. Candace has a glimmer of humanity in this post. Helena is wracking up dangerous enemies… Tina and Candace. Please post soon. This story is building in intensity.
It still amazes me that a simple conversation with you can turn into this incredible scene. Your ability to describe thoughts, feelings, a room…anything, is such a gift…something you achieve so well. Thanks for this! Have a great party!
What a great update. Was so intense and just absolutely heartbreakng to see Bette like that. Thank you. :)
Yea, jackiee1, I know what you mean about the pills controlling you. Bette needs Tina to give her strength and to have her move forward. I hope Tina has the strength and power to deal with Helena and her destruction on Bette. Will Bette forgive Tina????
Helena is crazy and candace too, hope they will be gone soon. Poor Bette, hope she will get help and get ready to kick Helena and Candace’s ass. Please post more, thanks!
wow, this is a dark story!!! hope they save each other soon!!!
Feel so sorry for Bette and she will need all the help she can get to climb out of that pit of despair. If only she will let Tina help her; and Shane should be horsewhipped for getting more drugs for Bette, she knows better. Besides if Kit finds out that Shane has been helping to supply Bette, Kit will kick her little scrawny behind and she should so will Tina. helena is really playing fast and loose with her own life because Tina can exact revenge in the worst way possible. Alpha Tina is fearless and a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the love of her life. I love to see her get mad and go after someone. She’s hell on wheels as helena is about to find out. Hopefully Alice heard that exchange between helena and Candace and Candace is also playing fast and loose because helena is pure evil, she’d better tread carefully. Great update. Thanks for posting. Have a great time at your pig roast. Seriously, a pig roast for 10 days. Where in the world do you live?
