Bette — Plan B; pt. 45
“Look, I’m not here to blame or rehash the past.”
Breathe. Relax. Don’t just assume that everything is an attack.
“You just have to expect that things won’t always be as Porter-ific as you want.”
Fine. “How’s Frank?” Let’s stop mulling my life for a few minutes.
“Good. He’s traveling this week, too. So, if you need any help with Jess.”
“Tina told you to offer, didn’t she.”
“As if,”
Why did that sentence sound like it ended with an implied ‘but’? I might as well find out. “But?”
“Well, I have watched Jess before. I know she can be a handful at times.”
Great. Confidence-builders all around.
“C’mon, Bette, she’s just one girl. She’s Tina’s daughter. She’s not a stranger.”
I note how she doesn’t call Jess my daughter; I probably deserve that. It’s not a relationship that I’ve earned. Not yet, anyway. “She is to me.”
“Elizabeth Porter.”
“When have you not gotten what you wanted?”
Besides contributing to the rather spectacular flameout, and then fizzle of my marriage?
I tipped my glass against hers, and we both drank.
It should have been wine, not iced tea. Because now, three hours later, I’m in a car, parked outside a school, and feeling as if my execution is at hand.
Jess comes out the door of the school with another girl, the two are joking with each other. Then she sees me, and her face falls. She waves a good-bye to her friend, and slowly plods to the car before climbing in the back seat.
I should have rented a two-seater.
“
At least she’s in the car. I should focus on the positives.
“Actually, we have an errand to run.”
She frowns at that. I’m not sure what she expected to do, but I do have Tina’s instructions, and plan to follow them to the letter. Meanwhile, we both might as well make the best of the situation. “How was school?”

hahah – that was freakin funny! Go Jess! This isn’t going to be easy for Bette.
Oh Bette has her hands full! Great chapter. Can’t wait for more of this duel between Jess and Bette. please post soon.
SEE THE COP SHOULD SCARE THE SHIT OUTMOF JESS NOW FOR NOT TELLING THE TRUTH… THIS KID IS SOMETHING ELSE… I FEEL FOR BETTE
i hope Jess stop doing this kind of stuff its mean..and i hope she learn a lesson and also learn to know Bette as a mother not a stranger cuzz noone knows why B&T fall apart for second time great chapter as always..please post soon i wanna know if Bette is going to jail AGAIN..lol..thanks
God, Jess is a handful. I almost feel like calling my mother and apologizing for any behavior I may have exhibited that was remotely like Jess’.
Let’s hope the police scare the ba-jesus out of her.
I am not usually an advocate of corporal punishment.
I am reconsidering my position…
hahaha Great update. I think what would scare Jess the most is Bette getting locked up for her antics and Jess having to call her mother to tell her what happened. Poor Bette…Jess is such a handful
Well, well. I do think Jess has learned some tricks from good old Alice. Poor Bette; but more so, poor Alice and Jess; when Tina hears of this trick. Alice will need to pick up Jess and bail Bette out; meanwhile, Tina will be called and Jess, well, she’s ground till, is it 40 now?
Great story…..more bon bons for you!
OMG, ok up until this point Less’ rudeness has been a little funny, disrespectful as hell, but funny. But this…this child needs a beating. My mother would have wooped my ass. LOL its funny but damn You have to post ASAP. PLEASE?????
This line killed me. ‘If I tell Jess to not say something, I might as well dial the phone for her’. You have me cracking up! More Bette and Jess, please.
“World peace and my old life back”…Priceless!
However, if Jess continues to lie to the Police out of spite or malice then I say she should be grounded until menopause!
If Bette can make it through this ordeal, then everything else will be a cake walk. This was both funny and scary at the same time.
This is going to be more that it already is. Meaning freakin’ awesome and so funny. cool beans P
And this is just day one?? Tina come home! Thanks for the update.
seriously…when is Jess gonna stop being such a lil beeeyatch?!
Great update as usual. Your so good at keeping us wanting more. Jess well she’s a scared teenager who isn’t sure whats going on, but Bette not to worry I’m sure she can handle it and will. Can’t wait till the next post.
Ha Ha Too funny. Can’t wait to see what happens
hahaha. Loved it as always! I’m happy I’m not Bette at this point. Hahaha.
This is so funny, though if I were Bette I probably would have killed Jess 10 chapters ago!!
If they get hauled off to jail I hope they throw Jess in too.
Oh shit that was funny!
that is just too funny. i can’t wait to see what happens next. post soon
Not funny…this kid is a mean brat! Brakes need to be applied right now!
DAMM P, that was fucking awesome!! Can you say Amber Alert!! I kinda used to do stuff like that. When I was in high school I played evry sport they had so I always had brusies so when people would ask how I got them I would tell them my mom hits me, anyways I always though it was funny but maybe not??
Absolutely fantastic chapter – I love the internal commentary Bette had going on. Your story is wonderfully witty and intelligent. Please keep on writing.

Great chapter. Jess needs to chill and give Bette a chance. Not a cool thing to do with the cops.
Jess got Bette in trouble!
