****************************************
Bette, meanwhile, gripped her steering wheel as she sat in the car, struggling to not snatch it out of the dashboard. She let out a roar of frustration, laid her head against the steering wheel for a few moments, then pulled out her cell phone. She hit a speed dial, and when she got an answer, with tension evident in her voice, she croaked, “Hi, it’s me. I need to talk to you.”
“What’s the matter, Baby Girl?” Kit replied as she walked to her desk and sat down. “You sound terrible!”
“Tina just threw me out of the house—my house!!!!
“What did you do?”
“Why does everybody think it’s something that I did! Why is it that I’m always wrong?” she fumed.
“Slow down, there! What the heck happened?”
“Tina informed me that she has ‘feelings for men’, and a lot of old issues were dredged up after she told me that.”
“Whoa! Well, I always knew you guys needed to talk about stuff, but wow—she really threw you out?”
“She’s got some nerve! She is showing absolutely no appreciation for what I’ve done to keep our family together. She’s the one who said she wanted to move back home but has given me nothing but hell since she and Angelica came home from the hospital!”
Kit sipped on her ginger ale and said, “I‘m so sorry, Baby Sis. But you do understand what that’s all about, don’t you?”
“Obviously, I don’t—otherwise, I wouldn’t be sitting in my car, in my driveway, calling you after Tina threw me out of my house!”
“Well, there’s part of the problem right there, Bette—you keep referring to it as your house. The place you shared with her for so many years—the place she wanted to come back to so you could make a go of it again in spite of your fall from grace. But what’s really changed? You still act like you’ve got it all together, but you don’t, and, truth be told, you never did! I know you, Baby Girl—you put up that front ‘cause you always gotta be the best. And you can’t handle it when folks see the real you–”

Great Update Sweetie………Kit a voice of reason………I really feel that they really, really need to finished this conversation. But then again this little alone time can be very helpful. They can think about what the other said and take heed to it. PLEASE DON’T TAKE TO LONG to post.And who is knocking on the window? Alice? Shane? Helena? or Candace?It better be TINA! ILU
This was really well written. Excellent dialogue. Please post sooner b/c it is such a good story and you’ve been missed.
Verrrrry nice update, Arr. Quite authentic as always. Ok, I’m considering dusting off my FFA card. Let me echo, PPS.
I haven’t commented in awhile but I gotta come out of hiding and say great update and well worth the wait.Thank goodness for Kit is right Probie.It better be Tina at the door.
Great chapter, nice to see Kit keeping her cool and making sense:-)And I am still chuckling from your nick name for Candace – ‘hammer girl’, its up there with ‘butter boy’ ;-)
I hope its Tina banging on the car window….tunnel vision is such a male thing maybe being raised by her daddy Bette has real issues seeing a woman’s point of view…Great Great chapter PPS
Great story. I’m so glad Bette has Kit. .She has such a great ability to diminish Bette’s feelings and place most of the blame on Bette for Tina/Bette relationship problems. I’m curious are you going to make Tina come clean about her flirtation with Josh in this story? I really enjoy your writing and hope to see the story continued.
Who is that knock on the door, hope is Tina or Shane. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Hopefully it is Tina knocking on the window but my luck it is Shane or someone else. Thank goodness that Kit knows her sister and can be the voice of reason for her. Both are so messed up that they probably need a third party to get them to sit down and discuss all of their problems. Maybe Kit or Shane if they do not want to go to a therapist.
O.o I thought I had read this. Apparently I didn’t. :( I’m not sure throwing Bette out was the best thing for Tina to do, though it did lead to Bette calling Kit and getting a verbal kick in the ass from her.
I absolutely love this fic and I was wondering if you were going to finish it? I hope so!!!
I’m sorry…it’s been sooo long i had to re-read the previous chapters!! LOL Kidding!! Alright Arr…now while I agree with some of what Kit said…The moment Tina left Bette, and then asked to come back, puts forth thte fact that, the house is Bette’s. Tina thought it was amusing..that’s just downright rude. And although that Kit is right about some of her observations, we know that Bette tried talking with Tina when she was back. She tried to instigate chats with comparisons to books, and other ways, but TIna just shut her down. Maybe if Bette went on line and posed as a man Tina would have been more willing to talk with her! LOL That’s funny i should write that fic!!
Thank goodness for Kit. Hope Bette learns a few things from her sister’s experience. Great update even if it did take a long time.
yea, great update…lets just hope we don’t have to wait to see who came a knockin’.. ;)PPS!
Great update, as usual, Arr. I was definitely starting to miss your wonderful insight. I really appreciate the great time and effort you put into trying to fix our favourite couple . Can’t wait for your next chapter !
Kit is a very wise woman, in a relationship there is not only “I”, there need to be some “I” otherwise you lose your identity but the mayor part is about “We”. And certainly not how it became between Bette and Tina, meaning “You”. Don’t ever blame the the other for what’s going on, blame “We”. Everyone is vulnarable and everyone can make mistakes that only makes us human. Another great chapter arkaycee with a huge cliffhanger…it’s time that you take the time to write to next chapter. Ok, I’m in no position to say that but I think with me many others are waiting impatiently for you to continue. Get your sh!t together and write the next one NOW :-)
