“I’m worried about her. But if she didn’t have that little girl, I’d be a lot more worried.”
Burying her face in her hands, Alice let out a sob.
Kit threw an arm over Alice’s shoulders and held the younger woman.
“It’s wrong.” Alice grabbed a tissue and swabbed at her nose. “Dana. Tina. It’s all fucking wrong.”
Hit by a fresh bout of crying herself, Kit held on to Alice and let the younger woman cry herself out.
“I need to make more calls,” Alice said, finally. She stood up, working to regain her composure. Then she stepped out to the back yard.
While Bette was resting with Angelica and Alice was making calls, Kit looked around for something to keep herself busy. She finally settled on looking to see what food they may have for guests. She also wanted to be sure there was something for Bette and Angelica to eat for lunch. Left on her own at a time like this, Bette would pass on eating.
As she made up a few sandwiches Kit remembered back to the final days of her father here, in this house. Then Tina had been Bette’s primary caretaker. The two women were just coming back together. Tina was heavily pregnant. Still, she was helping out, watching out for Bette.
There was no doubt that Bette and Tina had gone through some very rough times. Even so, that was then. Now, they seemed like things were worked out, working smoothly.
Shane was the next to arrive.
“What’s up?” she asked, coming into the kitchen.
“I think we need to wait for Bette,” Kit said, setting out a plate of cut vegetables.
“Okay.” Shane’s body language showed that she was picking up on the tension. No doubt, also noticing the red eyes.
“Help yourself if you want a drink or something.”
“Thanks.” Shane went to the fridge and picked up a beer bottle. Then, looking between Kit and Alice, she put the beer back and grabbed a bottled water. “Are Bette and Tina home?”
“Bette’s resting with Angie.”
The fact that Kit said nothing about Tina made Shane nervous. “I’m going to wait outside.”
Kit watched the young woman step out on the patio. Alice was already out there, still crying. No doubt word would spread before Bette returned to the room. Maybe that was for the best.
Would there ever be a good time to break this news?
Kit sat down on the couch and closed her eyes. All she hoped as that this was a dream and she would wake up. As far as she could tell, that was the only thing that would make it all better.
But it wasn’t a dream. And it wouldn’t be all better. It just was, and they were each going to have to find a way to deal with that reality.

This is sad, you make me cry my friend. We love your writing my friend and please continue, thanks!
still in shock over this story…i can’t ever write about main character’s death no matter what, you are brave for doing it
Everything you write is always so well done, even when the subject might be hard to bear. I always appreciate your posts. thanks for taking the time to write, and share it. take care.
Your story was so very sad and heartbreaking, but you did it with class. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Beautifully written. Keep doing what you need to do to help in the healing process.
Pseud, it takes time to heal, emotions can be all over the place, anger, love, why did it have to be them, we do get there in the end, the good memories is what I focused on, they get you through the bad days. I wish you all the best, take care.
Pseud – I respect your right and reason for writing this. Good luck and godspeed.
Pseud I may not like the subject but I respect your writing.If you need to vent things out through your writing then do it.
First of all, thank you for your post. Secondly, I am sorry to hear that you are going thru some rough time. Reading fanfiction has been a way for me to escape and cope with my own turbulent life. I hope that writing will give you peace and resolution in the same way when as your reading due with your stories. Sometimes, a moment or two gives us enough strength to go on and face another day. Take care.
Indeed, what is writing, but an outlet for what we think and feel? Write this as you wish. I admit, the first chapter was a shock, but your storytelling is too good to pass up. Looking forward to your next post, whatever it may be.
I’m glad you continued with this story. Fan fiction isn’t just an escape, it is a way for the writer to explore life how she or he chooses. Life is complicated and often not fair, loss is a part of life, and how we deal with the grief and move on becomes an important part of who were are. I hope you continue, but understand if you don’t. Your writing is always worth reading.
You know how we love our B & T..Just a shock when anyone kills one of them. Your stories are always wonderful to read and even though this one made me sad I will keep coming back to read.
Hope things are improving in your part of the world and that the readers here haven’t been too rough. Some just can’t handle any version of ‘their’ characters in anything but a story book tale. But some of us just want to see whatever you’ve got.
I first read the story b/c of you being the author. It was sad but sometimes such is life. If it brings you solace in your time of need, so be it. This event is something universal and I hope that writing brings you comfort. I will always read your stories if you continue to write.
Pseud, you know I love your writing and your stories. I will always read something with your name on it because it is always creative and well written. I’m sure you understand that B&T lovers find it hard when an author kills a character that is so loved and treasured as these two are. However, if you found it cathartic for you to write this, then I’m glad.
What is writing but an outlet for conveying our innermost thoughts and feelings? If writing for you is the way to get over your grief, then do it. No one is going to be mad at you for doing this in a way to let your emotions out. Death is a very tough subject that all of us would rather not discuss, but it is a part of life. I applaud you for the efforts you have put forth in your stories. You’re a genuine writer and you should continue even when some disagree with you. Thank you for your stories!
