As Good As It Gets – Chapter 21
"Depending on how things go, we might need to perform another. I wanted to personally ask if anyone would be willing to donate but before I do, I must inform you all that she has an O negative blood type. For those that do not know, while those with O type blood can donate to anyone, they can only receive that of the same type"
Bette immediately felt a wave of disappointment and sadness wash over her, she was AB positive. From what she knew, her friends didn’t have a matching type either.
"I can do it"
Everyone turned their heads and focused on Ava who was standing timidly on the side.
"She’s my cousin, we have the same blood type"
The doctor nodded and motioned Ava over but stopped when Bette held out her arm in protest.
"No, I told you to leave"
Kit took a step closer to Bette and spoke softly, "Bette . ."
"No. She has no right to be here. She treated Tina like shit. Months ago she told me that Tina was dead to her as a cousin. I don’t want her help, there has to be someone else"
"There’s no one else, Bette. It has to be her"
Ava saw the torn expression on Bette’s face, the look of hurt and worry. She saw how much Bette truly cared for Tina, there was so much love for her cousin in those brown eyes.
Ava regretted everything she had done to Tina, hating herself for saying such things. As little girls they were so close, the best of friends. It was so hard to remember how they had gotten to this point.
She may have said a lot of things and held a lot of anger and resentment towards Tina but Ava never wanted her to die.
"Bette . . please let me do this. I need to do this. I know it won’t change anything that I’ve done or make it right but I want to do it anyway. I want to help her"
Kit gently squeezed her sister’s shoulder, "Bette . . this is about Tina. You need to let her do this for Tina"
Bette pressed her lips together as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Anything for Tina
With a nod, she lowered her arm and Ava immediately went back into motion, walking over to the doctor. Bette took a desperate step toward the doctor.
"Can I go too? Can I see her?"
The hurt in her voice was enough to break the doctor’s heart. He hated to deny Bette but he had to.
"I’m sorry but right now we only need her. I promise I’ll come get you once Ms. Kennard is fully stable"
With that he gave her a sympathetic smile, promising all would be alright. Ava gave a crying Bette one last sad glance before following the doctor toward the double doors knowing that what she was about to do wouldn’t change how anyone felt about her but at least she could still help her cousin.

I hope Tina is okay and about the ex…there’s only one way to get deal with an ex and that’s too look hot and sexy.
I so love this story and will be very sad to see it end. Can’t wait to read the next update. thank you.
Great drama on all fronts. Thanks for the update. Maybe now Ava and Sam can see each other for who they really are and be honest with their hearts. Thanks for the wonderful story.
Finally Ava does something right. Great update, thanks
I know how that goes with family, they come through for you during your darkest hour. I love the revenge fashion show for the ex. If its any consolation, I would’ve down to hanging out with you if we didn’t live on opposite coasts 😉 thanks for the awesome post.
Tina gets lied to, finally knocks her cousin out *fist pump* and then a crazy fan tries to kill her? Oh i could just hear Tina shout right before she crashed, “I fucking hate women!” hahaha-I really love this story and your writing. thank you, thank you
heart breaking, good to see that maybe things can clear the air with all the drama. hope its two chapters rather than one for this! love this story.
Ava is at least seeing what she’s done wrong and is starting feel remorse. Maybe Sam is good for her. Ava donating blood is the first unselfish thing she’s done. It’s the first step on a long road to Ava’s redemption, if there is any. Poor Tina, her run of bad luck seems to be continuing… she finally gives Ava the punch in the face the woman’s been begging for, and then some new and different whack job nearly kills her! Things can only improve for her and Bette after this… hopefully! ;) Thanks for the post, Liah. :)
stupid crazy fan. that was scary. hope there is a happy ending even for same and selfish ava. it’s going to be tough to recover after an accident…perhaps that could stretch the story! lol anyway, i’m with teegirl….looking hot and sexy in front of an ex is great. you go girl
Please let Tina be ok
Great update. Happy that Tina got her chance to slug ava and to tell them both off. Both of the idiots needed to hear what Tina said to them. I can’t believe you would let anything happen to Tina now. Maybe ava will go back into her hole after the blood transfusion works and Tina’s condition is on the upswing. Thanks for posting.
Great story.Ava did at last something good.
so very exciting of the story,PPS!
Duh! … O neg? Just take mine! No need Ava!! … 😒 … Huh! I kinda upset that Tina is so unlucky! it’s a great thing that she can hit Ava and hopefully it was strong enough to crack some of her bone so hopefully whatever Tina said can be processed and get into her tiny brain! … Looks like Sam got the closure she needed after what was being told straight to her face. So… Let Tina be OK and let them be happy – with the peace of mind ;-) anyway thanks for the update Liah!! :-) so looking forward to more and more and more updates from you ;-) lol
