Broken Girls with Strange Frames (Ch. 11)
Chapter 11: The Third Thing
Within five minutes of meeting Sunny Ackland on Saturday afternoon, I was able to establish three things:
1. Sunny is not a dog, but I don’t think it’s fair to call her a real person either, considering everything about her, from her blonde hair to her nose is probably fake. She’s still very pretty, but in an entirely fake way.
2. Sunny does a very good job of pretending she’s intelligent enough to carry on a conversation with Bette, but…
3. … Sunny Ackland is one stupid *****.
I’m not judging. She just kept calling me “Alison”, which I think is stupid because she’s like, adding an extra syllable for no reason. And she makes Bette repeat herself all the time, even though Bette’s the type of person who only needs to say things once. It was like this:
“We’ve been having problems with the art shipments and I think a few of the artists, namely Laura Ford, are getting a little frustrated…”
“Now,” Sunny said loudly, placing a hand on Bette’s arm. “Explain to me about Laura Ford again.”
Bette smiled indulgently. “Uh, okay, what about her?”
“Just anything! You say it so nicely.”
Bette laughed.
I excused myself to go barf in the bathroom.
Metaphorically.
Luckily, in the two weeks that I lived with Bette, I only had to be exposed to the noxious fumes of Sunny Ackland’s grossness a total of four times, although I would’ve preferred if both of us hadn’t been in our pajamas for two of those times.
At any rate, the third thing happened at the end of the second week, Friday night, and after that, I didn’t see Sunny anymore because I didn’t see Bette anymore. Not for awhile, at least.
I had finished all of my work for the day and was sitting in the living room, typing up a preliminary outline on the article I was writing for L.A. Magazine about next week’s art festival in

So still 62% to go right? Thank gawd… Okay, I’ll be hitting the refresh button every 5 minutes, starting now…
Wow, even though this scene was extremely serious, I couldn’t help but laugh (ie: She could use the cordless phone as a weapon, probably, if I got too close).
Keep posting please :)

You are such a captivating and funny writer, I love this story and the unique perspectives/directions you have taken with the characters. Looking very much forward to the next…
Ouch! But I can believe it. True to the characters.
as usual very good,very funny even when its not meant to be lol… so original and we will be wanting more soon thanks
This chapter was great. You’ve perfected the characterization Alice to an artform. Brillant as always.
I’m with Temp…I’m hitting refresh all the time to see if you have posted again. I am totally, and completely hooked on this story, and on this Alice and Bette. Hooked, I’m telling you!!
It’s so hard to get good help these days. Bette was right, she did have a major play in how things panned out knowing she was hiring someone that was more than likely not qualified. But to just fire her outright…well, I guess that also provides the foundation for understanding Alpha Bette of later years.
But I’m still confused…I guess I don’t know if you’re following the belief that Alice and Bette really did date (as per season two’s comment from Bette) or if you are just loosely using the term ‘dating’ and how Alice perceives it. An any event…will look forward to the next chapter.
You are navigating their changing emotions like a seasoned sailor!
Great!
