Walking After You ch. 19
The next morning, Tina left with Kit to pay a visit to Bette’s therapist. She had woken first and prepared a light breakfast of cereal and toast. Then she helped Bette in the bathroom. She mostly kept her thoughts to herself, afraid of triggering another fight. Bette was nicely compliant and cooperative throughout the whole morning. She, too, was afraid of another fight. It was a very peaceful morning.
When Shane arrived, Tina let her in with a warm smile and a mug of coffee. A few minutes later, Kit arrived. They left Bette in the sleepy care of Shane.
In the car with Kit, Tina stared out the window at the passing scenery. She had started counting mailboxes when Kit interrupted her thoughts. "You girls seemed quiet this morning."
Tina turned to Kit and smiled. "Yeah," was all she said.
Kit nodded and braked at the red light. "All good?"
"For now."
"You’ll work on it."
"Sure."
They were silent the rest of the way.
They reached the psychologist’s office with time to spare. Kit had confirmed to Bette that her appointment was for 9:30. "You ready?"
"As I’ll ever be, I guess."
They exited the car and proceeded up the office building to Dr. Morga’s office at the 3rd floor. Once they got there, Kit went to talk to the receptionist. Tina took a look around, thinking that once you’ve seen one therapist’s office, you’ve seen them all. She was feeling a marked indifference about the whole visit. As far as she was concerned, Kit was there to do her usual reconnaissance on each and every person Bette meets on a personal basis. She was there for curiousity’s sake, and also because Kit wouldn’t let her beg off.
"Tina, come on." Kit’s voice intruded into her musings. She followed Kit into the office, feeling just a little bit intrigued.
"Hello!" Dr. Morga’s cheerful voice greeted them as they entered the office.
"Hi." Kit and Tina chorused.
"Pick a place to sit." Dr. Morga beckoned them deeper into the office.
Kit sat on the chair nearest to the therapist while Tina hung back and sank into the beanbag in the corner of the room.
"Michelle, my assistant, tells me you’re Bette’s sister, Kit. And you must be Tina. I’m Eileen Morga. Call me Eileen." Dr. Morga had to call out a little to reach Tina, who was slouched in the beanbag and trying to read the various diplomas and certificates on the walls.

They can’t rent a wheelchair and take Bette to Dr. Morga’s??? PPS
Fantastic update. I hope Tina will hear Bette out. Thank you for this story.
I believe there’s progress. I believe the dam has broken andtheya re going to be alright. I’m not deluded, am I?
“For one evil moment, she wanted to trip Bette and let her fall to the floor”…i don’t know why but this line made me laugh, i apologize if it wasn’t intended to be funny (i guess i love morbid humor)…anyway, another wonderful chapter, i also believe that there’s a progress there, tina is not avoiding it and i hope bette will just tell the truth and tina will listen. The story’s just getting better and better
UH OH Bette in trouble now “damn you candace” let B&T talk and work thing out. Please post more, thanks!
oh yeah… great place to stop… well lets the talks begin… pps
OH boy that was not a good place to end that chappie……..I hope they can talk and LISTEN PPS
oh boy indeed… Tina should strap Bette onto her back and piggy back her down to Dr Morga’s as fast as her legs can carry them. But maybe that wouldn’t help… It’s interesting that Tina might feel that Bette betrayed them by not changing. That call from Candace though, might be the key to that, might change things for the better… even if Tina doesn’t want to hear it! thanks 7, more soon please. :)
Fantastic chapter! You write wonderfully all the time, so I hope that this chapter finds you deliriously happy! Thanks!
Oh boy!!!!!!!, is right. AWESOME update. PPS
Hey 7PM, Geepers, creepers, Bette is in a whole load of trouble.Tina had finally admitted that she and Bette could work through their insercuries with the therapist’s help and now it appears Bette has done the dirty on her.Bette needs to be open and honest with Tina. If she trusts Tina’s love for her, then they can and will work this out.Lying or trying to cover up anything just won’t wash here and only cause further distrust.You are such a wicked writer for leaving me dangling in the air like a parachutist stuck in a tree.So much mystery.Many thanks and please continue soon. Your Loyal Fan.
jeez, candace, some timing you got there. and do throw in words like “thank you for the chance,” that’s just perfect. let’s see about the straw that breaks whoever’s back. now bring on the drama!
why incriminating…i thought bette just had an epiphany, i got it wrong, duh!
Oooh, I was feeling so hopeful there for a minute and then Tina had to find that message from Candace….please make it better.
Dang, I am so sorry Tina found that darned message. Bette doesn’t have anything to feel guilty for, she just told C to “F” off, in a decent way. She just needs to tell the absolute truth and not lie because she is the worst liar in the world. Tell the truth Bette and Tina will understand. Thanks for posting.
AAAHHH CLIFFHANGER!! sighs. But not a good cliffhanger. So agonising waiting to hear how Bette explains herself. PPVVVS!!! =)
