Chapter 17
There are times in everyone’s life when the series of events as they happen seem beyond reality. These events as they play out go against what common sense dictates should happen.
A drunk student driving home in a blinding snow storm, who is so drunk she has to cover one eye to prevent herself from seeing double, shouldn’t be able to pull up into her own driveway no worse for the wear.
A sales rep who takes customers out for dinner and then stays after for one or six martinis shouldn’t be able to wake up the next morning and fulfill his dutiful place at booth duty a little worn out but still no worse for wear.
The tow motor operator as he races through the warehouse completing the task at hand not aware of what’s going on around him. He fails to notice his supervisor who has stepped out to have a word. Initially he is totally annoyed by the tow motor when it comes to a dead stop because of a malfunction. Only later does he realize he’s stopped an inch from his supervisor’s foot.
The woman stoned out of her mind who races through rush hour traffic on the crowded LA freeways. Weaving her sporty car in and out of traffic, she traveling at speeds that are harrowing to witnesses. It becomes a demonstration of her ability, there’s a beauty to the agility and nimbleness. It’s a vision of car and driver as one, a display of skill that comes from innate muscle memory.
These events suspend truth as everyone would agree the events should have played out. There are no logical explanations except that these are examples of grace.
On this glorious sunny Southern California day, grace is the only word to describe the events as they are lived by one Bette Porter. For GRACE or the infinite love, mercy and goodwill shown to Bette by a higher power can BE the only explanation for how Bette showed up at her favorite beach without any harm or incident. And this damage free day applies to others as well as Bette herself. She has not hurt, damaged or harmed nor were anyone else or anyone else’s property during her little rocket ship ride to the beach. Now that’s not to say there weren’t a few close calls but close calls happen every moment of every day along the LA freeways.

I don’t if the last part involving Tina is a hallucination or reality. The first part about something or someone blessing us with Grace was so well written and tender. Who amongst us hasn’t experienced an event that we say afterwards,”There but for the Grace of God….”? and some of us aren’t that lucky. PPVS.
Thanks for posting! Hope B&T talk… PPS! :D
Great update. I’m really afraid for Bette at this moment because I don’t think it is Tina that has found Bette. I hope it is Shane but I actually think it is helena maybe but I sure hope it isn’t. Gosh this is scary. I think when Kit finds out that Shane started this she will give her the butt kicking she deserves. Thanks for posting. PPVS
I´m a little spooked here – is Bette really seeing Tina or is it her wishful imagination playing tricks on her – I think I´m gonna ask Seahurst to really yell at you for doing this to us – well to Bette – well to us really – your still faithfull readers!!
I love this story. I hope Shane gets to the beach in time because I think Bette is hallucinating. PPS
Damn…Bette is hallucinating now. This story makes me speechless. I have no words. I just need MORE from you!! Great story!
Thanks proofy lol.I took my deep breaths, now make her get better plz.Can’t wait for the next chapter now. A promess is a promess lol. Bette is getting better and willkick helea butt. You are posting tomorrow, an’t you???pmsl. PPVS
Excellent. Was the last part a hallucination or was Tina really there? Or is it Shane and she’s mistaken her for Tina. I just want them to be happy together and hate to see Bette like this. Thank you for a marvelous story.
Hey JWet, Another fantastic and emotive chapter.Bette got safely to the beach while driving stoned while a simple slip in a bathtub can end a life. The sheer randomness of life is inexplicable and yet the savoir of many a reckless act.Why does Bette’s state niggle with me? Is this the effect of more potent drugs? I just feel she is heading for an OD. I do hope that Tina realizes this and gets Bette the medical attention she so desperately needs. Perhaps Shane will arrive and sense the severity of Bette’s condition.It was amazing that Tina found her lover. Fate is taking a hand and helping reunite these soul-mates. Yes, it is darkest right now but they both feel that something is changing.Bette in particular needs to focus on this and seek the best help. This isn’t something to do on your own. It needs the help and support of family, friends and trained professionals.A detox facility is what Bette needs. This way she will be out of Helena’s line of fire which will give Bette the time and space to rectify some of her past mistakes and begin the journey to sobriety.Shane has some making up to do so can assist Tina with Bette and provide great insight into Bette’s state of mind.Kit is also regretting her behavior and has some fence mending to do.As always J, you have crafted a magnificent melodrama. One, which I can’t wait to read more.Your have rocked my world with your wonderful words.More please whenever you get the chance coz I will be checking and waiting impatiently.Much, much gratitude and thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
I’m so glad that Bette wasn’t in a car accident. I’m not sure if Tina is really there or if Bette is imagining it. whatever the case, I hope she does get sick. That might get some of the drugs out of her system and hopefully she’ll be too weak to go anywhere else on her own and get into more trouble.
Poor Bette. After reading this chapter, my week doesn’t seem so bad. Have a great weekend and post again soon.
I sure hope it is Tina standing there and not Bette’s imagination playing games on her. Helena needs to be stopped, like now. Everyone of the gang needs to be finding out what the witch is doing to Bette and put a stop to it.
Grace….I think we have all experienced it at one time or another in our lives. I think back to the times I drove a car while out of my mind drunk and never hit anyone or anything. I still can’t believe it. Grace….you wrote this wonderfully. Thanks!! Oh, and I am glad it was Tina who caught up with Bette first.
the last part looked to me as if it’s not really happening but it’s just in Bette’s mind…really looking forward to happier times…thanks
Jwet, I love your writing but this story is so dark. Bette so lost and Tina so blind yikes – they are such fools in this story it’s hard to read.
Bette is intoxicated,it´s hard to read.PPS
Your writing is beautiful.. Thanks for sharing, Jwet. Glad that Bette didn’t have any accident or something but she still has a lot to go through. Anyway, I count on Seahurst to keep you from doing more damage :P By the way, I second Dainty, Shane does deserve some butt kicking here. PPVS
I sure hope the cavalry can circle their wagons and get Bette the help she needs before Helena breaks through! Thanks for the post. Looking forward to the next one soon. :)
Thank you for posting. I actually hope it’s not Tina there on the beach, she should go back to Helena and be with her, they seem to be made for each other. Too bad that Bette is infatuated with Tina, because she isn’t loved back. This is sad to read. I wish she would find someone who truly cares.
