    Chapter 10

    ***

    By now summer was upon them and Bette had to decide on the six recipients for the scholarships. She sat in Oscar’s office at the WeHo Family and Youth Center on a Saturday afternoon going over the finalist. The best part was reading the essays that the kids had written describing their interest, but it was always very difficult for Bette to narrow it down. For that she recruited help from the center’s art program director Francesca Romano. Together they made the final selections.

    Francesca left Oscar and Bette alone while she went to her office to call each of the parents or guardians of the selected six to invite them and the children to the formal dinner where the scholarships would be presented. Oscar felt a bit awkward about Bette and Tina’s situation but since they all had to work together he thought it best to confront it now rather than later.

    “Bette I can’t tell you how much we appreciate your continued financial support of our arts endeavors. Your scholarships and personal interest in these children has really served to not only uncover some hidden talents but also to give these kids a chance they would never get otherwise. Thank you.”

    “Oscar you know art is my passion. I do what I do out of love. I have been so blessed that I want to give back to the community in a meaningful way. Not only can these kids expand their creativity through art but spending the summer at the camp also involves so many more enriching experiences that they can learn and grow from. The weeks that I spend with them are the highlight of my summer. I look forward to it every year.”

    “Well I know they really enjoy it too. They talk non-stop about how much fun they have and how much they learn. Which artists did you get to teach this year?”

    “Shane McCutheon, and Valerie Simmons are confirmed. I’m flying to New York in a couple of weeks to talk to Marcus Allenwood. If he can’t do it then Leah Ostin will. She’ll likely be up there anyway to spend time with Val.”

    “Are they dating?”

    “Yes. It’s still new but they seem to have hit it off.”

    1. Thanks so much for this chapter Bat; I see here that Bette is still like ‘I have nothing to do with Tina’s problems’. She is a little worry for knowing nothing from her ex, but that’s all. They were together for 7 years, and Bette doesn’t acknowledge any responsibility in their break out (personally I think Bette is in denial), as if everything was just Tina’s doing. I like the possibility of Bette dating a psychologist (she needs help in that department). It’s curious now that I see after ten chapters, on one side Tina feels very guilty, suffocated and alone and in the other side Bette feels the opposite than Tina, a victim, ready to let go and wrapped and protected by her friends. I don’t want to take sides with any of them but I feel a little unfairness in this relationship I don’t know if it is the cause or consequence of their dysfunction or if it is just part of it. Thank you again, I like so much you story, it makes me think on their situation; and I’m very captivated to know where you are taking us, I’m wanting eagerly for your next update.

    2. Hello there BAT,been a long time,glad to see you posting again.Synopsis of what i understand so far,TINA/BETTE are having problems and broke up(not good)TINA then decides not to go the toy route but the real mccoy(so not good)Then she decides to date HENRY(major turn-off)and engages in hide the banana(i’m feeling squeemish)with this guy but pines for BETTE(therapyanyone?)BETTE is still hoping and not hoping to reconsile with her wife(ahemm),so now we have total dysfunction.Can TINA get her self together or will BETTE continue towards moving on?Talking is a little late for BETTE if she wants TINA to listen to what she has to say even if TINA does talk the shame alone of what she has done will drive her further away i think, but your story and like everyone else i too will wait. BE SAFE and hurry back.THANKS,
