”This is my father… God, he seems completely mad”
Bette tensed even more and furrowed her brow, ”What did your father do?”
”He kicked me out of the house”
Natalie said this and tears welled up in her eyes. She turned away and tried to wipe them away, but they continued to trickle down her cheeks. Bette put her hand on the girl’s arm. The two women looked at each other in sad shock, and then Bette spoke again. Her voice was soft and quiet.
”Why did he do it?”
Natalie tried to pull herself together to tell her everything that had happened and why she was here. She exhaled and began to speak, her voice trembling.
”We often quarrel with him, he does not understand me at all… he has a very explosive and complex character”
”Honey, did he hurt you physically?” Tina put a chair next to Natalie, sat down, and began to gently stroke the girl’s back, looking into her eyes.
”No, no, he never raises a hand to me, but… he’s causing me mental harm. I don’t know what’s worse”
She took a couple of sips of tea, then continued talking.
”Today my emotions just spilled out… usually, when he’s not happy with me and makes a scene, I just keep quiet or say what he wants to hear, but today… I’m just tired of putting up with it. He finds fault with everything – how I dress, what music I listen to, what movies I watch, who I contacted to, how I study… everything, you know? Today’s argument started when he found out that I didn’t write my French test well. Actually, I have a normal grade, not the highest, but not bad. It’s not enough for him. For him, I must always be the very first, the best and perfect. He was shouting so hard that my ears were blocked. He said terrible things about how stupid I was, how I’d never get a good job, and how I’d be a disgrace to him for the rest of my life. I could not stand it and told him that in this life everything does not always work out as he wants and that it is not I who disgrace him, but his Katerina. She and dad got married a few years ago. She is an unpleasant woman, arrogant and duplicitous, so I try to stay away from her. I immediately regretted the words I said, because dad always protects Katerina as if she were some kind of diamond. I’m not against her, but she was originally against me, so… anyway, he got even angrier when I mentioned her. He said I was ungrateful and arrogant, then told me to get out of his house right away. He took my phone and my laptop a few days ago, and my car keys and my credit card just today. I didn’t want to stay there myself, so I just threw everything I could find from the closet into my travel bag… I thought Ange had already arrived, I didn’t see her message that the flight was rescheduled for the morning”

So Bette is jealous of Margot because she is still afraid that Tina might leave her again. Actually that is a reasonable fear and I think that Bette should talk to Tina about it. Bette should definitely explore this fear with her therapist as well. Tina needs to understand that her leaving the relationship has left Bette with that fear – its happened three times already and who’s to say that a Margot or someone like her might bring on another exit.
Tina is a smart woman – she knew there was a problem and she should have seen jealousy as symptom. She knows Bette well enough to know that Bette was not comfortable with Margot conversation. Bette was smiling in that being polite but not genuinely glad to see Margot. And Margot had the same expression. So why bring it up when Bette has provided a romantic setting for the evening ending celebration? Why not wait until breakfast the next morning? Let the evening flow as it will?
Now, the arrival of Natalie? If Natalie is really running away from home on her own, she would have her cell phone. She would have some money or some kind of plan for her journey. She would not just show up on someone’s doorstep. But she shows up abruptly and unannounced. And I think she would have had a better story than what she had if she were running away. Of course there maybe more going on at home than she is saying.
Interesting chapter…. it seems that there is just no end of problems – let’s hope that Tina and Bette can hold it in the road while they get through all these challenges.
Post more when you can…. I want to see how they get to a somewhat normal life.
I will try to publish the next chapter as quickly as possible. Thank you for your thoughts and attention to this story!
Thank you for the chapter!
Oh, first – i love jealous Bette :). And i think she has her reason to do it – to be suspicion about this Margo.
Second – i think it’s right thing what Bette did – texting Natalie father and let him know where his daughter.
And third – i think Tina also right what she said about Natalie and her father’s fight. They need to listen his story (if he wants to tell it) and then judge him.
Yeah, Bette’s jealous side has its charm :)
Thank you, Zhenya!
Bette is jealous of Margot and upset that Tina appears to respond. At least they talked. Tina has to set boundaries with Margot and I feel this will help Bette.
Poor Natalie. At least Bette contacted her father.
I think you’re right about boundaries. Good to see you here!
