Chapter TwentyThree
At six thirty they parked the car in the parking lot in front of the prison. Tina stayed inside the car for a few minutes, her eyes closed, concentrating on her breathing, gathering enough courage to face Eric. Bette sat beside her, giving her the time she needed.
“You’re strong Tina, remember that. He can’t hurt you.” Bette softly says.
“I know, but still. He’s had such a strong hold over me, he’s psyched me down for so long.” Tina says.
“But you are on your way up again, out of that hold. You have to believe in yourself Tina, if not you might as well go in there and take him back.” Bette says.
Tina looks over to Bette and gives her a small smile.
“Thank you for being here with me. Eric is never going to get to me ever again.” Tina says determined this time.
“Good, so are you ready to go inside?” Bette asks.
“Ready as I’ll ever be I guess.” Tina says as they step out of the car. They walk side by side. Tina shyly takes a hold of Bette’s hand. Needing it for additional courage. This makes Bette softly smile and she looks over at Tina, who is very nervous. She gently squeezes Tina’s hand, letting her know that she’s there, right by her side.
They are through security and are guided into the visitation room.
“I’ll stay out here, okay? I’ll watch you through the window. But I think he’ll be more approachable if your two are alone so to speak.” Bette says.
“Okay.” Tina says in a whisper. Bette pulls her into a warm hug.
“You can do this. Stay strong. And remember, there’s a thick plexi glass between you. He can’t hurt you.” Bette whispers into her ear.
“It’s because of you that I can. Thank you.” Tina says as she tightens her hold a little before she lets go and walk into the room.
A few minutes later another door opens and the guards escort Eric inside and setting him down on the opposite side of the glass. The second she sees him, her resolve straightens up. Her anger takes hold of her, but she doesn’t show it outwards.
Eric looks almost scared. He grabs for the phone as Tina do the same. She holds it up to her ear, waiting for Eric to start talking.

I missed this story. I like the way you handled that.
aww thanks 4 another chapter :) pps
Thank You. I am glad that you had Eric be remorseful about his behavior. It was truly a surprise and a nice turn in the story. Now Tina and Evan can move on with Bette.
Glad to see you back with another chapter. eric surprised me with his apology and it is about time. Glad that Tina showed him that she was not afraid of him any longer. It’s good that he gave her the house that will make her feel better about the sale of the property and everything that she has to do including moving on. Glad he did not threaten Bette or anything of the sort. Great chapter. Thanks for posting.
Didn’t expect Eric to be remorseful but like it. Think it’s nice you gave some humanity to Evan’s father. Can’t wait for next chap, PPS!
You know when something sounds too good to be true? LOL Thanks!
At least there is some hope for Eric, I hope that you truly gets the help that he needs.
Lauren where is the next chapter of another terrific story????? Hope all is well PPS!!!!!!!!!!!
Now its Time for Tina to move on.PPS
I’m glad that Eric realizes at least some of the damage he’s done to Tina. It’s great that Tina held her ground and now she really can move forward. Thanks for posting! I love this story.
Glad Eric was remorseful and it was good that Tina didn’t tell him where she was going such a great story to read thanks.
Here you are. It is nice to have a post from you. I have missed this story. That was the best thing to do Eric. Now Tina can start living and Evan will have Bette as second parent (hopefully lol). PPVS.
That was just excellent. Thank you.
Hey Lauren, It was good that Eric apolgised to Tina however I don’t think I could have forgiven him if I were in Tina’s place. It was interesting that him asked Bette to protect Tina in the future. I hope this gives Tina the courage to admit her love for Bette and build a family with her and Evan. More please as this tale is such a rollercaoster ride. I do hope for a happy ending. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
