Cure-all, Chapter 20
Bette closed her phone and looked at Tina, panic written all over her face.
"Bette, what’s going on?…" The blonde asked, extremely concerned.
"It’s Shane… They… They got caught up in a bad storm and, uh… Shane was trying to stabilize the boat when… a rope broke and she was hit by the biggest sail and thrown overboard…" Bette explained with difficulty.
"Oh God…" Tina whispered.
"Mark was able to get her from the water, but she, uh… Her… her head got badly injured by the impact of the sail… She was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Vancouver. She…" Bette’s words got caught up in her throat, and she had to cough, "She… She’s still unconscious…" The brunette finished sofly, obviously in pain.
"Oh, Bette…" Tina let out, shattered by the news. Her heart sank in her chest at the brunette’s distress and vulnerability she could see in her eyes, "What do the doctors say?" She asked in the softest voice.
"They don’t know yet… It’s uh,… It’s too early to tell…" Bette murmured, looking down.
Tina couldn’t stand seeing the brunette so devastated. She wouldn’t stay there, with dangling arms, while Bette slowly crumbled before her. It was time for action.
"Come on, let’s go. We have to put you on a plane as soon as possible."
With this, she grabbed Bette’s hand for the second time today and dragged her along, forcing her to run with her towards the house.
————————————————————————————————
The next half-hour was a hectic succession of making phone calls, packing, and getting into the car to get as fast as possible to SFO airport. Bette hardly had time to say goodbye to Tina’s grandfather before the blonde grabbed her arm and rushed her to her car. She hated to be the one to make Bette leave the house, but this was not about her. All she could think about was to get Bette to her best friend as soon as possible.
Bette hadn’t been able to find a flight to Vancouver for that evening, but a college friend of Tina’s who was working for Alaska Airlines had managed to get them a ticket. But it was on the next flight and they had to rush…
The drive to the airport was silent. Bette was staring at the road in a daze, a thousand horrible scenarios going through her mind. Every once in a while, Tina would glance at her, growing more and more concerned about the brunette.
So she did all there was to do. What her heart told her to do. She reached for Bette’s hand resting in her lap, and intertwined her fingers with hers. The brunette looked at their joined hands and turned to Tina.

WOW…that was…well, it was just beautiful. I really love this story – your writing is so moving. I really can’t wait for the next post – please don’t make us wait that long :)
Thing look pretty sad for them. Maybe Helena being so atune to Tina and the ways of the world will sense that Tina is very unhappy. Hope that Shane will be alright. thanks
What a beautiful chapter, complete with the heart wrenching airport moment where two souls say good-bye. IMO, Tina needs to dump Helena and catch the first flight to Vancouver to be with your true love! PPVS
Well done, I was there watching
Perfectly crafted. Have no doubts as to your writing ability!
WOW!!!! I just caught up. That was so sad and so full of love. Thank you PPS
OMG I have butterflies in my stomach, i not sure if its the almost kiss, shane incident or the fact that the dog brought the book in meaning fate keeps tossing them a bone!!

Wow!! Beautiful chapter, i could feel the emotions between them, i’m waiting for the next chapter!!
This is such a beautiful story. Thank you for writing it and sharing it with us. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
I was not surprised by that almost kiss. This tibette doesn’t strike me as the type to do something behind Helena’s back. Now Tina knows what she has to do when she gets back. Thanks for this substantial update!!!!!!
I can fully imagine JB and Lu playing these roles. There is an intensity to both of these characters and a vulnerability that you have portrayed so precisely. Waiting anxiously for the outcome of Shane’s accident and Tina’s return of the book to Bette soon, I hope. Thank you for posting.
wowwwwwwwwwww, i love how everything is slow and charming. i love this bette and tina
love this… and love the dog… thats tina’s reason to go and find bette… and whats helena doing… i have a feeling she has someone on the side… she must, how could she stay away from tina if she didn’t… PPS
A wonderful chapter. I love your ability to keep the suspense of whether (when?) Tina and Bette will be able to be together. Looking forward to your next chapter. Thanks.
i have to agree with you… this is my favorite chapter so far! beautifully written! thanks!
How absolutely gorgeous!! I love it! and i cant wait for more. Tina and Helena need to sort this crap out. And Tee needs to organise to fly off with Bette to Peru and write up all the goings on witgh her reporer skills and happily forever after.
This chapter made me cry for very different reasons . First it was Tina taking Bette to her families’ grave site, then the pain of Shane’s injury. The love is beginning to shine through from both of them.
So beautiful
It sad they not together but hope soon, hope Shane will be ok!
This was absolutely brilliant. The details in this story just make me feel like in the same room with B & T. Please Post Soon.
this is romantically beautiful… i love this story so much, please post soon…
You write with such emotion that it is impossible not to feel everything they are feeling. Loved the end of the chapter! pps
How could we possibly not love the chapter as it is so beautifully written. I had tears in my eyes until the appearance of the pink booklet which brought back the smile. Perfect, Kword.
that was a fabulous chapter – so full of emotions! you are doing an amazing job with this story!! PLEASE, please post soon again! thanks:)
