Maybe I should rephrase. It should have been a normal parent thing to do. I should have gone to the game, and sat in the stands. There, I would have seen my once and hopefully future daughter playing softball.
If, that is, she was actually out on the field. But she wasn’t. Nor was she sitting on the bench.
Dammit.
What do I do now?
It appeared that we were getting along so well. Or getting along, at least. She was communicating, and not angrily. She was moderately helpful, more so when it suited her interests, of course. But still, she hadn’t been hostile.
And now this. Betrayed.
I wondered if I might be overreacting, so I waited until the game was over to take action. Maybe she just ditched on her one ‘free’ afternoon, and figured she’d meet me at 4:30, not expecting that I’d come to the game.
Another good thought. Another wrong thought.
The appointed time, 4:30, came and went. At 4:45 I called her, and I send a text message to her phone. Neither of those elicited a response.
Dammit.
I contemplated calling Alice, or even Tina. Well, preferably not Tina. I really do think Jess and I were starting to bond, just a little. I want to know why she’s doing what she’s doing before I just bust her outright.
Honestly, I just want to know that she’s okay. At 4:50 I left another message on her phone that said just that, and followed up with another text message.
How long was I supposed to wait until I became concerned? That is, until my level of concern caused me to involve other people.
At this point I was just torn between waiting at school and heading towards home. It wasn’t as if I had any knowledge of Jess’s friends, so trying to find out where she might have gone would just be a futile event.
After much deliberation, which basically took the next ten minutes, I decided that since she hadn’t showed by 5:00, I’d head home. There, I’d wait an hour before I started the official freakout.

wow i’m the first. hmmm what the heck is going on. jess needs to lighten up and be a bit more responsible. bette seems to be doing a good job of not freaking out, just yet. and why is jeri crying. aahhh too much drama. be kind please. loved this chapter. post soon.
There is a part of me that is really beginning to loathe Jess. Teenage or not – she’s deceitful, rude, and disrepectful. I’m worried that Jess has solicited Jeri as an accomplice in some scheme to make Bette a pawn in some untruth that will be the undoing of Tina and Bette. Even if Jeri truly is in need of help Jess should have known that Bette would be worried if she didn’t answer at least one of her pages. What made Jess think that Bette wouldn’t go directly to Tina when she didn’t show up on time? However, Bette too has some culpability in that she really needs to bring the hammer down and set some serious boundries with real consequences.
In any event…another great chapter. Thanks for posting, it makes a long weekend even more enjoyable!
I am loving your story. Can’t wait for each post. I’m really starting to loathe Jess. She’s totally disrespectful. I realize she’s a teenager, but she needs to start showing some responsibility.
This was a turn I wasn’t expecting. I don’t know where you are going but I am enjoying the ride. Thanks.
Why is Jess in the driver’s seat? They need to get her in check.
Thanks.
What the hell is going on!
Strange how Jess can be like Bette and Tina at the same time. Next chapter, please.
jess is such a bbbb
ok enough, its time for Jess to come to terms with Bette. She can’t change the situation so get used to it and maybe she’ll learn something. Teenagers can be a pain….but they eventually come around most times.
P I think I forgot to tell you how fucking gifted you are at writing this very very awesome story. And I know how busy you are and you still take the time to write to you I SAY THANK YOU, maybe I should bake you some cookies or something.
Has anyone seen or heard from the real Bette Porter??? she is sliping. P let me tell you way this story is so awesome, it reminds me all the time to never ever have kids. Yep let’s see how Jess pulls another nice fuzzy wool cover over Bette’s eyes. The reason has to be good if Jess missed a softball game, I could see skipping practice but a game. Well in my eyes that would be un heard of but maybe Jess dosen’t like playing softball as much as I though.

Great chapter. This kid is tough. I feel bad for Bette lol.
Oh, Pseud, it’s so unlike you to leave us with cliffhangers…cough cough….I guess I remembered wrong!
What’s the drama….what’s with Jeri? Did she do something foolish?
Don’t let the bon bons slow your writing!
Thanks for writing this holiday weekend.
oh can’t wait for the next chapter. Excellent thanks
I haven’t been around to comment for a few chapters, but I’m catching up again. Jess…seriously, she’s transitioned from being curious about who Bette was to being a real brat. Is Tina going to lay down the law about her attitude soon? I know teenagers can be annoying, but it shouldn’t go unchallenged…I really enjoy this story a lot; Jess is so real it makes me want to ground her myself…I can’t help but think of the trouble I would have been in if I pulled her stunts…oh, I’d still be grounded…
Jess needs a kick in the ass… and i hope tina gives it to her… she could of at least called bette back.. or tex message… something… she was wrong and then to climb in the window and then slam the door… oh no… bette needs to tell tina and tina needs to straighten that kid out… anything could of happened to her and then bette would have been blamed…and i don’t care what excuse jess gives bette… there is no good excuse
