I will be checking online frequently. Send me a note if you wish to start writing again.

Bette,
I sorry that it is rough going with you and Tina. Youve both got a lot of pent up emotions to get out of your system.
I chose Vermont because the gal with whom I am vacationing wanted to go to Vermont and I didnt care where we went as long aswell you can imagine.
Anyway, we just got back from having a quick dinner and are letting it settle before dessert if you know what I mean.
I feel guilty having a good time while you and Tina are having such a rough time. I hope I dont sound too much like gloating by mentioning what is going on with me.

Chris,
Dont worry that you are gloating. At this point, the closest I may ever get to happiness is living vicariously through someone elses happiness.
If you have a woman waiting to have dessert with you, then why are you checking your email? Go, have fun. I created the mess that I am in and I dont want you wasting a minute of your vacation worrying about it.
Youve been wonderful to me and I appreciate it. Now, go and have fun. You can tell me details Ill live vicariously through you after you return from your trip.

Bette,
It is okay. Babs knows that I have an addiction to the internet. If I go for more than a couple of hours without checking my email then I start to go through withdrawal and it gets ugly.
Im your friend and Im Tinas friend. Im worried about you both. I can still enjoy my vacation and worry about my friends.

Tina,
So what is going on in my absence. How are things? I hope you arent too bored. I know that Fort Myers is not the most exciting town.
Have you thought about calling or emailing Bette?

Chris,
Bette and I emailed last night. I said some pretty harsh things to her. I sort of let a lot of little things come tumbling out in one big rush.
I just dont think that Bette and I are going to make it. We are too different.
Ive been playing through your CDs and there is a line from a Bonnie Raitt song that I keep playing over and over:
Now that this has occurred to me
I wanted you to know
Ive been too faithful all my life
Its time to let you go.

All i have to say is Ouch…Tina’s being an uber bitch, but i guess she does have the right to be. I just think Tina needs to listen more to what her Chris is telling her…I really love this story!
this story is really coming along great — very honest emotions — well done — thanks
Wow…Tina is so pissed and not thinking clearly…she is right, it is her body but I agree with Chris, Bette does have a right to know…just because she didn’t get T preggers, she is the other parent…so intensely vivid…damn you kick ass…please more very soon!!!
Wow….I don’t know what’s gotten into Tina. Maybe it’s the hormones. If I were Bette, I think I’d have to cut my losses and accept the fact that Tina just doesn’t want to move foreward. Great story!
Man this is good!! I love it….more, and soon!
I agree with Firecracker, Tina is being the deffinition of bitch.
:) Insightful and as realistic as one can make it. Solid writing and honesty. Great combination. Continue! :)
It’s the hormones!
Give a girl a break!
Do you think the baby is really Bette’s if she had no part in the insemination?
wow tina can be a real bitch sometimesbut if your chris knows Tina like she should from growing up with her than she knows shes just lashing out in pain
Tina is wallowing…you caught her character wonderfully, she needs to find her “autonomy” and take responsibility for some of this…I love this story!!!
hmm…maybe tina is being a bitch, but why is her friend taking bette’s side. she should just mind her own business. i mean she told bette that she thinks tina should forgive bette. that is kind of a personal decision. chris is not being a very good friend to tina. that being said, i love this story!
I dont believe that Chris is taking Bette side. But she was with Bette when she got Pg, with the sperm that Bette paid for. and kept at the cryor bank, Tina I believe is just being a pg woman that needs some TLC,. Deep in her heart she knows who can give it to her. She is letting her head rule and not her heart. thanks.
Oh man this is crazy and now Tina and Chris is fighting and Bette and Tina are in middle of conversation which what they want and need in their life. Please post soon, thank you!
I just love this story. Please post soon.
love the originality and the bluntness between lifetime friends, they can love you in spite of what you say or do
