“I do.”
“Then I’ll tell you.”
“Just not now?”
“No, not now.”
I have to admit that this conversation has been very odd to say the least. Neither of us has said much and yet we understand what the other is trying to say.
“How long have you known,” I ask Bette
“How long have I known that it was Carmen or how long have I know about you?”
“Both.”
“I’ve suspected Carmen for a few days now and it was only today that I realized that it was her.”
“Oh and the other thing. How long have you known about that?”
Bette takes in a small breath, “Quite some time Shane.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“You’re not mad?”
“Why would I be mad?”
Why would she be mad?
“I’m sad,” Bette speaks after a moment
“Sad?”
“That you aren’t able to fully give you’re heart away.”
“Right. I’ve tried not to”
“I know.”
“It hasn’t worked.”
“I know that too. You know I don’t feel the same.”
“I know,” I speak after a moment, “I know that you love me but not to the degree that I love you.”
“Right.”
“It’s okay Bette. I would never act on it. That would be entirely inappropriate.”
“I know you wouldn’t. I trust you. I trust you with my very life.”
“I almost got you killed.”
“It wasn’t you Shane. You’re going to have to forgive yourself.”
I didn’t know if I would ever be able to do that.
“Can you?”
“Forgive you?”
“Forgive yourself?”
Bette is silent for a moment after I ask this question.
“I don’t know.”
Fair enough.
“Here we are,” I say pulling into the driveway of Bette and Tina’s house
There are many cars in the driveway and Bette sighs heavily at seeing them.
“I can go in and tell them all to leave,” I volunteer, “I’ll do it.”
Bette smiles at this, a real smile, “It’s okay Shane. They are going to want to see Tina.”
“Tina is very much drugged out right now though.”
“That she is. Can you carry her Shane?”
“I will be most honored to do such.”
“You’re so weird sometimes.”
“I know, where do you think I get it from?”
Bette nudges my shoulder with a slight chuckle. I know things aren’t going to be the same between us from now on, but maybe that’s okay. We’ve always been friends. Maybe now we’ll be a different type of friend, deeper, closer. We share something that no one else does.
I have loved two women in my life. One is clamoring out of my truck to bring her love into the house. The other is lying in the morgue for not understanding the love that I hold for my best friend. It wasn’t until recently that I fully understood the love that I hold for Bette.
It isn’t a romantic kind of love; at least not in it’s truest form. I love Bette without reason or discord. I love her above my own needs. I would never act on it because I know that it would ruin the thing that makes us Bette and Shane. We are best friends above all else.
In the end, I think that this is better; we can be best friends forever. I know that she and I would never work. Even if Tina weren’t in the picture it wouldn’t work between us. We are too similar in nature and temperament. I can be content with what we have, for I would never want to see what my world would be like without her in it.
I should be sad, angry, crying over the death of Carmen, the woman that I really did love, in my own way. That’s for tomorrow. Today, tonight, I’m glad that Bette Porter continues to live and that she understands.
I am content in her understanding.
TBC…

Totally awesome….everybody loves Bette…post soon
That was sad and ver awesome, amazing. So glad that Betteand Tine are Okay. sad about Carmen. Shane will always have a rough time but with her friends sshe will always come out on top.
Find no B&S lovin from you I can deal with that. Just as long as you promise to never end this story. LOL well shane rocks and I love B&S as that super hero team you have them as.
Great chapter, but I really feel sorry for Shane. She really deserves love, maybe you can pair her with Tatyana. It would be very interesting since she is not a member of the group of friends and therefore there will be room for discovery.
Bette and Tina will only grow stronger from this.
I have taken a little over and hour and a half to read the last like 25 chapters……..and this is an awesome fic……please continue soon…..

Excellent chapter as was the last one. I love this. Glad B and T are both ok.

Totally AMAZING!! Seriously, sharing Shane’s feelings through her POV was very powerful. How Shane sees Bette & Tina, and how she sees herself entwined in their lives was awesome. This was really a sad, happy, and loving chapter. Thanks for the excellent post…please continue. Let’s hope self forgiveness doesn’t come at too high a price.
