Shane put an arm around Max and Max rested his head on Shane’s shoulder. Tina thought it was sweet. There was no jealousy in Shane as Max talked about his relationship with Jenny. Tina admired that.
“Well,” Alice said breezily. “Anyone else want to go? ‘Cause I can.”
“Go on, Alice,” Shane encouraged.
Alice cleared her throat. “Jenny and I didn’t exactly get along. I think everyone knows that. I’d call her the best frenemy I’ve ever had. I respected her. And I cared about her. And I know, somewhere, she felt the same way about me.”
“I’m going to miss the competitiveness,” Tina piped in. “You guys had some epic disagreements.”
“We did, yeah.” Alice sighed. “I’m going to miss her a lot.”
“We’re all going to miss her,” Helena put in.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Max interrupted, switching gears. “I don’t know where I’m going to go or how I’m going to raise this baby.”
Kit leaned forward. “We’re all going to be here for you, Max. We are going to help you.”
Max sniffled. “I don’t mean to feel sorry for myself in the middle of this. But Jenny was the one giving me a place to stay, and –”
“You can stay with us,” Bette interjected.
Max’s head snapped up. “What did you say?”
“Well. It’s going to be hectic with the move and all, but you can stay with us. Until you have your baby. You can stay there after you have the baby, and we’re gone. Until you find a place. Then we’ll sell.”
“Are you okay with this?” Max looked at Tina, his blue eyes bright with unshed tears.
“I…” Tina faltered. “I guess I am,” she said looking at Bette with alarm.
“But…” Kit said, “I think a lot of us were hoping that… well… that you guys wouldn’t move.”
Tina was thrown and looked to Bette again. “Um…”
“Yeah,” Alice joined in. “I don’t want you guys to go. I don’t think any of us do.”
“We’re going to miss you guys too,” Tina said, still looking at Bette. “But we’ve already planned to go… I’ve got my job…” Tina trailed off telegraphing for support from Bette. Help me out here.
“I don’t want you to leave either,” Shane added, her voice husky.
“You should stay here. With us.” Alice said knowingly, glancing around the room for a consensus. “Right?”
“Right,” a chorus of voices answered.
How did this get turned around on me? Bette would be moving, too.
“Well…” Tina paused, exchanging a trapped glance with Bette and trying to think of what to say next. Were her friends right? Should she and Bette stay in Los Angeles?

Hey omalley, Great to have you back and already putting the cat amongst the pigeons. Tina was really taking aback by the gang’s expectations. I think the move to NYC is something that she and Bette need. A fresh start in a different place.I will be waiting and watching for your speedy continuation of this brilliant adventure.More please and many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Hi. Glad you are back with this story. I think Tina & Bette need to go to New York for a fresh start away from all their friends. Please don’t let Bette leave Tina hanging out there on her own. PPS
i always thought they should stay in LA… unless of course they move near me in NY…lol… nice little cliffy you through in there… wonder what they will do… maybe they should take max in and then they would fall in love with the baby and max gives them the baby to raise… hmmmmmmm… i like that… what do you think…pps
I would not mind them staying but the both need a better job than what they have now. Tina needs to move onto something much better than aaron and the studio.
I certainly didn’t expect that! Great chapter. I think (hope) Bette pipes up that the move to NY will be good for both of them – a fresh start. Love all your work OM.
Hey, glad to see you back, omalley! =)I wonder if Bette will come to Tina’s rescue? After the tragedy that happened in their backyard, will the Kennard-Porters be able to live happily and peacefully in that house? I don’t think so. I’m curious though if Bette has changed her mind about moving to New York and what she is going to say about Jenny, if she’s going to say anything about her at all. Looking forward to your next post and your other stories in the pipeline, omalley. Thanks a lot! =)
Glad you are back.Great story.
That was a turn that I hadn’t expected. Max living with the Porter-Kennards??? The ambush about staying in LA? Is this a big cliffie? Is Bette about to confess that she killed Jenny? Coz, she did. I know. I saw it. OK, maybe I didn’t see it. [abrupt change in subject] I am excited bouncing in my seat at the thought of new postings from you. You just have to follow through. You have to. I will be crushed if you don’t. I’m gonna be like Tina when she grabbed the marker to write “Candace” on The Chart. Besides, you don’t want to get a rep as a c[hapter] teaser.
Didn’t expect that turn of events. It’s a toss-up, 50% says they should go and 50% says they should say because Bette doesn’t really want to go but, can they continue to live in that house. Before the accident was solved, I would have said go as fast as you can to NYC and leave LA behind with all its miseries. Now that Jenny is gone and Kelley has left them alone I’d say they should stay put. However, they do need a fresh start or a frest start without all the meddling of their friends into their relationship. If they could achieve that then they could stay and start anew. Just my thoughts. Thanks for posting.
I guess the sentiment of the night is getting to Bette, cos she just put Tina on the spot. Is she going to come to Tina’s rescue? And is Bette going to regret that offer to let Max stay? I’m glad you’re back posting. More, please! thanks :)
