    Broken Girls with Strange Frames (Ch. 27)

     

    And I saw Willie for the fourth time and he urged me to smile and cheer up once more, so maybe that was the catalyst for the whole thing-I mean, maybe that’s why I went right upstairs and found the piece of paper where S for Sarah had scrawled her phone number and I gave her a call.

     

    Bette had moved on. Bette had moved on even before we broke up, so it was stupid to think that things weren’t over. I had to move on, too.

     

    This is exactly why I found myself entertaining Sarah on a Friday night, which I guess my mother would be happy to hear (and that’s weird in itself, if you think about it).

     

    We decided to watch a movie, quite the sacrifice on my part considering how much I hate movies, but apparently Sarah was one of those actress types who were actually serious about acting. Some comfort, I guess.

     

    So we were watching Hitchcock’s Lifeboat and Sarah was telling me all the things that were great about it (and I was trying to pay attention, really, but *****, Tallulah Bankhead was a fox) and I was feeling very good about the whole thing, especially the fact that my VCR wasn’t acting like a ***** and embarrassing me in front of Sarah.

     

    Who I like. Really.

     

    In fact, I started making a mental list of all the things I liked about her as I watched her watch the movie:

     

    1. She has nice hair (I like brunettes).

     

    2. She’s actually very smart, despite my initial assumption that she was a dumb actress. She’s smart. And she didn’t even go to Yale (for example) or anything.

     

    3. She is totally cool about sitting around my apartment and watching movies, which is a fun thing to do on a Friday night even if some people think that Friday nights are for working (or visiting art galleries, which could be construed as work anyway, if your occupation has anything to do with art-I’m just saying).

     

    4. She wears nice clothes and she isn’t obsessed with designer labels, which is cool because she has her own style and ***** *****, how many pairs of Gucci shoes can a ***** person own?

    1. i don’t often comment on stories, but i just had to say how much i love this story, with so many excellent stories on this site yours stands out as one of the best. I look forward to your posts, please keep writing.

    2. Loved Alice’s list. When a perfectly good person just isn’t the person. Alice, I can relate.

      Bette is getting hers. Why aren’t I cackling with glee? Gosh, she’s human! And falling in love.

      Thanks!

    3. Girl, you are so fucking funny. GEEZ. Can’t get over it. And you nail these characters in such an original way. Not only do I get a real sense of the Alice I love, but also Bette, who you capture beautifully. And now Tina too–the image of her as Bette sees her, “having a fit,” is too perfect. It was what Tina meant to be doing when she pulled her jacket off in that lawyer’s office! Damn, they shoulda given Tina another shot at that one; even in baby blue, she coulda looked a lot tougher.

      Great story. Please keep writing!

      Love it. Keep writing.

    4. This story just rocks, plain and simple.

      The way that you get into Alice’s head, but at the same time get into Bette’s is astonishing.

      Taking the foibles that are common to all of us and bringing out into the open to be inspected without judgement is a gift.

      Fantastic story.

    5. Ole people are half human and half Hallmark CardsWhat does Old people start in yrs, Heck I might be old I did like Alices list. Bette is in trouble she wants Tina ,but nothing long term.

    6. Another great chapter – Alice’s list was funny and kind of heartbreaking.

      Your dialogue is amazing. Alice’s conversations with Bette are pitch perfect.

    7. Aliceisms that I learned today:

      Old people are only half-human and the other half is Hallmark card.

      [No]one should date their mother.

      Your Alice is SO Alice she makes me bipolar: I laugh and cry. Which definitely makes her no more or less Alice than that.

      And, in my right mind, I love your fic a lot. Cheers!
