Angels Never Came Down 7
The sun slowly set and Bette tracked it with her eyes. The bright orb was not really distinguishable in the wash of reds and oranges in the sky, but Bette seemed to know instinctively when it finally dipped into the horizon. She sighed at that moment, and smiled.
When the sky finally dimmed to gray, Bette stood up and brushed off the sand from the bottom of her pants. She had driven to the beach that afternoon with a mind in turmoil. In the pocket of her pants was a creased and well-worn piece of paper. It was her intention to finally cast that piece of paper away, to drown it, along with all the memories and missed chances. But she had stood at the edge of the ocean for hours, immobilized by the clamoring of the past.
Four years. Four long years. She remembered that day clearly, despite all her attempts through the years to forget.
*****
Bette arrived home still trying to drum up some enthusiasm for a trip to Milk. She had left Tina earlier and as usual, she felt like she had left a vital piece behind. She laughed to herself and fingered the flash drive in her palm. She might as well transfer the files now. She was sure that she would forget about them later on.
As she waited for her laptop to boot up, she propped her head on her hand and thought. Was it possible for a straight woman to turn gay? And if that were the case, what would she really be, gay or straight? She knew some of her friends would tell her that you fell for the person and not for the sexual orientation, but Bette was always skeptical of that position. She believed that it was a cop-out, a way for erstwhile heterosexuals to justify their sudden homosexuality. She herself had always been gay, except for a brief experimental period in college. What was that joke? Gay until graduation? Well she had been straight until graduation. Bette giggled when she remembered her one boyfriend all throughout college. The poor guy was pissed and puzzled when Bette had tossed him aside along with her cap come graduation.
Now, a couple of years later, she was as gay as flannel pajamas. Bette giggled again. In her estimation, she was set for life. She started working right after college and in two years, had been able to build up enough of a nest egg that she was able to buy a small house, a car, and had enough in the bank to last a while. Of course, her father’s generous graduation gift, in the form of blue chip investments, didn’t hurt. She was young, gorgeous, and successful. What more could she want?

Wow, four long years, that is trulyheartbreaking. Hopefully Tina will now come back nd let her know that she too has been miserable and wants and needs Bete back in her life. Thanks for posting.
That’s a mighty long time to wait for someone. I hope Tina’s nearby, ready to give an explanation. PPS
OMG heartbreaking…..poor Bette and Dam it Tina why are you always running
Your author’s notes was quite the tease. So what DID happen to make Tina take a 4 year hike? And what has happened to her since? And why did she put Bette through the wringer for so long? Geez!
That was such a sad update. My heart broke – Poor Bette. Sigh! I do hope Tina comes back. Thank you for continuing with this story.
That was sad and hope they will see each other again!
That was truly heartwrenching. Your writing is so good, an excellent chapter. I can’t wait to see where this story leads.
Four years… that’s 1461 lonely days, and a long time for Bette to have kept hoping, with her heart on hold. I wonder what Tina has been out there experiencing, thinking about, for 4 years? Has Bette ever even looked for her? Lots of questions. I’m glad you’ve continued this one too, 7. pps! Thanks :)
ouch.. I think my heart just broke.. Poor Bette, Tina better come back soon, thanks for posting though and I hope the next chappie comes soon! =)
wow, you know your Drama 101 very well…i didn’t expected this but i like this turn…i hope Tina is right behind her or is coming soon before it’s really too late…are you going to give us Tina’s POV of her 4 years away? it would be interesting…pps to mend our broken hearts
HEy 7PM, It is always darkest before the dawn so I hope that this is just a pause before Tina returns and tries to rebuild a relationship with Bette. This friendship will develop into something more. Something that neither Bette nor Tina can deny any longer. Their attraction to each other.Bette let Tina go and now is the time for her to return and prove they belong to together.Sad right now and I hope a brighter future for them both.Please continue soon.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
