“I never knew this. He never told me, not even back when we were happy and talked out everything. At least I thought we did.” Tina says as she thinks back to when she first met Eric. Nothing he said or did back then would indicate that he had been abused in any way. He was so loving and kind.
“I don’t know what happened between Eric and dad, but I have an idea. But still, now, he’s old enough to know what’s right and wrong. I will go down to where they are holding him and try to get him to talk to me one last time. Is there something you want me to say to him?” Erin asks.
“Actually I have thought about going to see him myself. I think I need that closure. I’ll bring Evan, so he can say goodbye to him. I don’t know if it’s the best thing but. I’ll give him one last chance to do something right.” Tina says as she looks up at Erin. Just then the door opens and Bette walks in carrying a lot of cardboard boxes ready to be put up.
“I’m sorry, it took a little longer than I thought.” Bette says as she stops in her tracks once she notices an unknown woman with Tina. “Hi.” She says.
“Hi, I’m Erin, nice to meet you, and thank you for saving Tina and Evan.” Erin says with a genuine smile.
“Hi, Bette Porter…” She’s unsure. She looks to Tina and then back at Erin. “So… you are?” Bette asks gently.
“Oh, sorry, I’m Erin Collins. Eric’s little sister.” Erin says.
“Oh okay.” Bette replies as she sets the boxes down.
“Erin haven’t been back here for three years. She and Eric isn’t close. They haven’t talked in years.” Tina says to Bette, trying to get her to understand a little better who Erin is and so on.
“Okay.” Bette says and smiles. “Do you want to talk some more, I can disappear again, I’ll start nack up in the kitchen.” Bette says as she starts to back up towards the kitchen.
“No, no need to disappear, I should go. I can call you after I’ve been to see him if you want, give you a heads up sort of thing.” Erin suggests.
“That would be great, thank you. I still have the same number, at least for a few weeks more. I’m getting a new number once I get up to Nashville.” Tina says.
“Okay. Take care Tina, and maybe I can come visit you? I haven’t met Evan either, and I would love to meet him.” Erin says.
“I think we can make that happen. We’ll talk about it later. Thank you for stopping by.” Tina says as she smiles.
“I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner and before any of this happened. And Bette?” She says as she gives Tina a hug and looks over at Bette.
“Yeah?” Bette replies.
“Take care of her and Evan.” Erin says giving her a loving smile.
“I will, don’t worry.” Bette says, smiling back.

Oh please, update soon!! Love this story…it’s weekend, you don’t need to go outside and soak in the sun…just take your laptop and write..pretty please;)))
Tina is slowing getting stronger and figuring out what she wants. Thanks for the update!
i don’t think tina should go and see eric… he gave up that right as a father… he is nothing to that baby now… and tina should never tell him what eric did… and lets hope erin doesn’t say to much to eric… because what the others have said… he won’t give up and he will go after her… even if its 10 years later… great chapter… pps
2 excellent updates. I’m a little worried that Tina wants to go see Eric. I don’t think she strong enough and I hope Bette goes with her. Thank you.
I will just say that I share the sentiment of the other comments.
Not sure if Tina should visit eric yet, maybe some years down the road.
I think it is not a good idea to visit Eric.Tin is not strong enough.Thank you for the update.
I wondered if eric had been abused as a child, abused children usually become abusive adults. Still I don’t think Tina should have told her where they are going or with whom. She might let it slip unintentionally and give that bastard a heads up to where to look for her when he gets out. And he probbably will. Abusers never give up and he will have 9 yrs. to make up for. Great post. Thanks for posting.
stories regarding abusive is always so hard..cause you have the adult that either hitting a spouse or child and society always tends hate toward that person …but somewhere in the history 80% of the time they were once subjects of abuse. It has to be stopped at the root….Erin comments however were true at some point either that person had to make a decision to take one path or another in life. Its always amazing to see two people with the same type of history of abuse journey down two very different roads. What makes one stronger than the other??
Big mistake Tina….mow Eric will know where she is…… PPS!
Tina needs to cut all ties w/ eric. Going to visit him one more time will either piss him off more or give him hope that he and tina are still connected some how/ thanks for the update…enjoy the weekend!
