    Broken Girls with Strange Frames (Ch. 21)

     

    Kyle hesitated. I looked at him expectantly. Now seemed like a good time for him to start clapping and jumping around like a girl.

     

    But all he said was, “Whose idea was it to start selling sour cream in the first place?”

     

    “Um…” I set my laptop on the coffee table. “Kyle? You heard me, right?”

     

    “Yeah.” He sat back, looking thoughtful. “But, I mean, I knew already, Alice, so this isn’t exactly big news-”

     

    “What do you mean you knew? I just-found out-I mean-”

     

    He scoffed, dismissing me entirely. “I’ve known for weeks.”

     

    “Weeks?” I repeated. “It just happened on Saturday.”

     

    “You realized it on Saturday,” he corrected me. “It’s been obvious to everyone for weeks.”

     

    I sat back to absorb this. “It has?”

     

    “Yeah.”

     

    I bit my lip. “Does that mean it’s obvious to Bette, do you think?”

     

    Kyle laughed, shaking his head. “Something tells me that things like other people’s emotions aren’t very noticeable to Bette Porter. She’s too busy being wrapped up in her own, I think.”

     

    I nodded. This was true. Terribly and delightfully true. “So you think I should tell her?”

     

    “No!” He gave me a disgusted look. “Are you kidding me?”

     

    “What?”

     

    “Al-” He stopped and then exhaled, looking at me helplessly. A little pitying. I glared at him. “Honey, you always want to jump to action,” he said. “That’s impulsive. That’s bad.”

     

    “Why is it bad?”

     

    He looked at me for a second, playing with a hole in his jeans. “Have you… considered what you’ll do if she doesn’t say it back?”

     

    “No,” I said, deflated. “I hadn’t really thought it through that far.”

     

    “See?” He ruffled my hair playfully. “That’s what I’m here for.”

     

    This wasn’t going well. “So, it was obvious to you that I…”

     

    He nodded. “Yeah.”

     

    I scratched my head. “So there’s no way that I’m not, right? Like, this couldn’t just be a terrible hallucination or something?”

     

    He narrowed his eyes. “I doubt it.”

     

    “I just-” I picked my laptop back up, needing something to divert my attention. “I know how I feel,” I said quietly, “I just don’t know why I feel that way.”

    1. Bette and I need to have a serious conversation about this thing she’s doing where she breaks Alice’s heart. That’s not cool. Always, your characterization and dialogue are just… flawless. And I can’t be too upset with Bette. She’s trying to do the right thing.

    2. It sucks to hate Bette when JB is just so hot. The show should have a spin-off, focus just on Alice/Dana/Helena/Lara, with Bette just showing up once in awhile for a sex scene with no lines.

      On a happier note: ‘I laugh in the face of your love, Alice. Ha, ha, ha, ha!’ was hilarious!!

    3. Your dialogue is perfect but I loved this bit of description too:

      “Another nod, this one a little more hesitant, as if it realized the ludicrousness of Bette’s speech and was ashamed to be attached to her.”

    4. Oh. My. God.

      Alice, Alice. I could practically hear your heart shatter into little pieces. My heart goes out for you.

      I am stunned beyond belief. The things Alice went through in terms of Bette. And considering what she had went through and then still remained friends with her ex (later on) just stuns me speechless.

      Rachel, your writing got me stunned, too. Four amazing pages of a rollercoaster ride. Amazing!

      Please keep on doing what you’re doing because you are doing it so right.

    5. Yeah, let’s kick her…to the curb. This is so real and so raw.
      I can’t WAIT to see Bette get her comeuppance from Tina. Bette in love, that’s rich!
      Really, I can wait. I love Alice in this story.

    6. And it all comes full circle. Thanks for painting the picture that we have yet to see on TLW. Makes their friendship on the show have more depth and meaning now, given the history.

      The last line was pricless!
