Bette gazed at the woman in front of her and contemplated how her life had changed so drastically.
Was it for the better or was it for the worse? Who was the judge of that?
Who got to say when you were happy and what was the appropiate life change? Who said you couldn’t have more than one true love.These were the thoughts that had occupied Bette’s mind, and it was what she wanted to address to Candace in this moment.
Bette: Ok Candace, granted we didn’t meet on the greatest of circumstances, and everything I have been through we have managed to salvage some sort of friendship or even relationship if you want to call it…
Bette removed her hands from Candace and nervously tugged at her shirt, unsure of how to go on. Candace watched Bette’s face expectantly, eagerly waiting for her to continue. Bette took hold of her glass of water and sipped at it slowly, urging the cool water in and welcoming the slight distraction from Candace’s gaze.
Candace: Baby, whats wrong?
Bette smiled warmly…
Bette: Thats the thing, when I’m with you there is nothing wrong, I’m happy, Im somewhat myself, I’m..I’m
Bette felt tears well up, her lip quivered somewhat, she paused to compose herself…
Bette: I’m a person again, rather than this depressed empty shell of a person I had become…I’m still not better but with each day and each encouraging talk we have or, well you know, I feel normal, I feel alive…I feel as if…
Her voice trailed off, although the words that had just come out of her mouth, were precisely what she had rehearsed, her heart suddenly wasn’t in the talk…she felt wrong and almost as if she was betraying Tina all over again…The familiar pain in her heart that had haunted her dreams and each waking moment was back and way too painful to continue
Candace: As if?
Bette had just stopped mid sentence, her head hung low…
Candace stood up from her side of the booth and joined Bette on the other side…She held Bette as Bette sobbed quietly in her arms, totally unaware of her surroundings Bette let go and cried for the life she had lost, for the love she had betrayed…for a life she didnt think she would ever get back…and for a future that was still so very uncertain..

It’s amazing what pride can cause someone to do. There are so many missed opportunities that we all accept simply because they are less complicated than dealing with the real issues. Wonderfully written as always.
awww man that is sad! poor kasey…well i really hope she is the one that will make Bette forget about Candace (she sucks and you know it! :P) and get back to Tina :) Stop the torture !! lol
ok..you don’t have to kill a character because you are doing a good enough job on me. UGH… will you please post soon…need to get to where tina and bette are back together and candace has fallen off the face of the earth.
Awwww man Bette…go 4 the temptation….GO FOR IT!!!!!! U gotta get candy ass outta the picture…B has gotta get back with T, and own up to her BS…..SOON!!!!!!!!On another note, when r u gonna post another chappy of Hold me…kiss me…..forever????
My hangover wasn’t as painful as reading that Bette is giving up! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Have her cling to Tina – Casey will help them, nobody can resist a child that looks up to them like she does to Bette!
F**K, F**k F**k candy ass go away,
Forget Bette already…Exactly and if the kid needs therapy because of this I’ll gladly pay for it. Í don’t like how this Tina is shaping up. She should not take Bette back until she gets her shit together and even then she should have to work for it. It’s one thing to cheat but to be this low is well lets just say ewww.
AHHH ok i admit it Kasey cracks me up (i like kids really!!lol)I can understand Bettes need to move on and really its only with Candace because “shes there shes handy” ok there are some feelings but im glad she told her she wasnt over Tina yet!!!hey wheres there hope…so i sense there will be some sparks aflying hopefully good ones but not before the bad ones…bring on the drama…and look i packed it all into one comment box!!!god im good!lol still lovin it
Aww that made me sad. How can she just try to push her out of her mind and heart like that? I hope Tina won’t see Bette with Candace…that would totally crush her.
i’m laughing and agreeing w/ xxjoey6. maybe it’s me but i don’t like her at all. but the part with kasey was priceless. the bystander in the scene are the people i can’t stand. they’re always quick to tell somebody something bout parenting, knowing damn well they ain’t the greatest parents in the world or they don’t have themselves. but the chap was wonderful as always. please post soon. PEACE.
Dayum!!! No car wrecking or fatal work accident for Candy…lol Too bad then, we’ll continue to hate her with a passion…! Poor little Kasey, she makes me melt like butter in a frying pan every single time, hang on baby! Come on T, get a freakin’ grip, you can do this! Great as always, post soon! :)
LOL..loved your comment, “isn’t great true love left in the hands of a 5 year old.” Kasey is priceless..God, if you didn’t know she was Tina’s niece you could swear she was related to Alice..except she seems to have common sense. LOL. Bette is in survival mode…she’s clinging onto Candance because she’s there…it’s convenient. If Tina would have stayed she would have tried; but what can you expect? Tina left, she disappeared…Bette needs to move on. Damn, I’m on a seesaw. LOL. Got myself dizzy for a moment. I can understand both sides…of course, they are wrong, but I can see why they feel as they do. Thanks for the update…as always a pleasure to read.
No no more Bette and Tina! Ok, Bette could try to move on, but S~L~O~W~L~Y~. Tee, get your woman back, QUICKLY. =P
Tina better hurry up and get to bette to stop her from forgetting her. Kasey to the rescue.. can’t wait for Kasey to see bette
I guess your going to torture us for awhile yet nyc but that’s ok i will keep reading!!!
Oh I’ll keep readin. I think I must like the pain, either that or I trust U to make it right. Thanks for taking the time.
What are you crazy? Of course we want you to keep writing the story! We love it! Keep up the good work!
well good timing on tinas part…i cant wait ny!!
Yippeee! Another chappy for me!!! I can’t wait for Kasey to talk some sense into Bette, as only a child can, about “moving on” with Candy girl!
Things can be worst between B/T ??? Anyway I can’t stop read it !! But sometimes I wish I had some FASTFOWARD control to kwnow how it will end!!!I’m enjoying not this post but the whole story! I love Kasey so young and so smart I feel sorrow for Tina, I hate Bette right now but I understand her feelings and I miss the gang!!I don’t kwnow if you post again before Christmas but I wish you FELIZ NATAL!Fui….
Still sad. Poor Kasey and can’t wait to see her see Bette and hope Tina will get her woman back and kick candace’s ass away! Ok post soon please, thanks!
kasey is my only hope
Pride goth before a fall. Hope Tina calls Bette before she spends the Night With Candace. Can stand her. Bette has better taste than that. Thanks
