After saying this Jackie pauses, takes a deep satisfying
breath and continues Now lets get the first award
***
All
could think of was I knew it. I knew
it. There was someone behind this
thing. I wonder who it is and how can I
find that out.
Bette on the other hand was having a near panic attack. Would Jackie please shut up? What was she thinking? While Bette appreciated the sentiment that
delivery was going to kill her as she was on the verge of an anxiety
attack. Taking deep breaths Bette again
wanted to run out of this place. How
many times will she have this feeling tonight?
Catching
her, Bette felt it better to get as far away from
I think Im going to try to get to the restroom before Tinas turn to speak
comes up.
still with her mind twirling Yeah sure.
Ill be right here.
Bette made her way to the ladies room. Finding a stall she closed the door and
leaned her head against the coolness of the metal. Standing there hiding in the stall Bette felt
an overwhelming feeling of dread. Oh
God will I ever get through this night? Bette said out loud. Hearing her voice she was struck as the humor
of the situation dawned on her. Here was
the mighty Bette Porter, isnt that what the good Reverend Pillary had called
her? Instead of feeling pride and
accomplishment for what has become the MYV Foundation, I am in here hiding in
fear.
What a joke my life is! Bette says in disgust of
herself. Why am I in here anyway hiding
in the john?
As she said the last question the truth came ringing in her
ears as if her mind had screamed it at her Youre in here because you cant
tell Tina the truth. Bette heard this
in her mind as loud and clear as if
was standing right next to her screaming it at her. As the realization of what that means settled
in on Bette her shoulders drooped. How
did I ever think I could create something new with Tina when I have all these
landmines I keep desperately trying to avoid?
Bette asks herself. As she is
contemplating these thoughts Bette hears someone enter the rest room and
realizes that she needs to get back out before someone comes looking for
her.
Giving herself a little pep talk Just get through this
evening. Keep my head down and step
lightly Bette says to herself as she squares her shoulders and opens the stall
door.

Tina and Jackie were just finishing awarding the last of the
grant winners. Tina had done the honors
of describing the program of underprivileged children that would be receiving
the grant. Tina loved this part of her
job as she could actually visualize the kids and the help that they would
receive through this additional funding.
Looking up once again to the crowd as she had completed her role she
finally spots Bette standing way in the back with
She must have been there all along.
Tina could hardly blame Bette as
had been particular acidic with her comments tonight. Still standing on the stage listening to
Jackie with her closing remarks Tina couldnt help but wonder who the person
was that had initiated this foundation.
If Tina had to guess her thought turned to Reverend Pillary. Something about the way that Jackie had
described this person leads Tina to this conclusion. Tina was brought back by the applause of the
audience as Jackie was now through and the first MYF Grant Awards Recipients
Dinner was finished.
As Jackie was collecting her notes, she turned to Tina I
cant tell you enough how impressed I am with how you pulled this all
together. If I havent already told you
then let me do so now. Thank you for all
your efforts. Jackie says to Tina with a grateful smile across her face.
Thanks for that Jackie.
Coming from you it means so much.
I was a bit surprised by your remarks.
So there is a person who actually is behind all of this. Tina says as
she spreads her arms as if to encompass the whole crowd.
Oh yes there certainly is. Jackie says as now she is
looking for someone else to go talk to.
Well give me a hint.
Is this person someone I know?

Does Jackie know more than we do, that is, Tina won’t freak if she finds out that Bette was behind the foundation? She did mention how selfless the individual was to set up the foundation, so maybe. I like how you put the Reverend in Tina’s head to throw us off?
Great job as usual. Patiently waiting for the next installments. Thank you for giving this to us.
Damm ! Fireworks at every turn ! Love it – Hope you have fire resistant gloves on !! lol
Jwet,
I need to tell you that you have captured how I feel about this story. In Jackie’s words.
“But along came this person who actually romanced me with an idea. You could say I was enticed by a vision. A vision created through thoughts of love married to passion and determination. This person inveigled me here by using their outstanding written skills to draw an amazingly vivid picture in my mind. One of selfless action, of greater good, and even of loving anonymity.â€
I do feel that I have been enticed by your brilliance. It invades every aspect of this story and keeps bringing my back, day after day, after day. You really do put that goofy grin on my face and then make me anxious as the drama sets in. This tale is a real crowd pleaser.
Thoughts of the day:
Will Alice be doing her stand-up routine at a venue near you? When will the Basher be back? Will Bette be attending Westlemania 35? What is the cure for verbal diarrhea? Can someone give Jackie a dose? Will Bette give the game away? How will Tina react? Shunned silence or nuclear meltdown? Will Alice be on TV?
Will always back you up because I know that this tour de force comes from the heart and deserves to be worshipped as such.
As always, your Loyal Fan.
Oh that was just great i really was on the edge of my seat! as was poor Bette…lol loving it loving it thanks
Well done Jackie!
I liked her off the cuff speech, she has planted the seeds in Alice and Tina’s heads now…plenty more drama to come, well written Jwet.
Thank you.
An interesting turn! I like the idea of Bette coming clean to Tina, then she can do it on her own terms. Hum…
Alice maybesome what right in what she said but she shouldn’t have done that. Bette better tell Tina soon because it is going to come out.
Jackie, stuff it!
Alice, go suck on a grape!
Take it from someone that is in the middle of the fallout from trying to keep a secret, it is best for Bette to tell Tina what she did before she finds out from someone else. Great update.
Fantastic!! Now Tina know how much this selfless person put into it she is gonna be Soooooooooooooo impressed with Bette, she is just gonna fall in love with her all over again and again…. FAB MATE!
Great story. Bette shouold be the one to tell Tina the truth.
Great as usual, Betet should be the one who tells Tina, hopefully Tina wont be to angry, they’ll still move closer. Yep, that’s sounds like a plan :) hehe
Heh, you used the name. Priceless. I was kidding about the hurrying part. We don’t want you posting any sarcastic chapters that delay the real thing:) I love ya and this story so woo!
Alice with Dr Phill, I can see it now. Great update, I hope this get tina asking questions, and maybe bette will get to tell her before alice finds out.
Hmmm….has Jackie said enough? Or will she keep speaking?
Ooooh man Jackie has some ovaries. See Bette should just bite the bullet and tell Tina. Good Chapter!
can’t leave for the day without my fix. i just had a panic attack myself. since i read all your chapters in 2 days have never gone thru a weekend. hopefully you post on weekends or i’ll wither. loved this chapt. and no i don’t throw things. after what jackie said tina maybe miffed for a minute but she has such regard for jackie that it will have to turn out good, right, you hear me Jwet? ;-) bette needs to be the one to tells her tho.
What’s up with Jackie? She’s putting alot of pressure on Bette indirectly….or maybe it’s her way of letting Bette know that she can’t be with Tina completely and keep her connection to the MYV a secret. Hopefully she’s doing it for the greater good….in that case, “WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG JACKIE?!” :)
:0!

Great chapter. Looks like Bette better tell Tina soon. Love it.
Again simply awesome. I’ve said it before but wow if only the L Word writeds read your story. S3 would be great. And at least i got to almost throw Hell on Wheel out the window in mine. LOL…
Alice is annoying me to no end in this chapter. She cared more about herself than she did about her friends. To compromise her friendship with Bette (and Tina) for the sake of an interview with Dr. Phil? Especially knowing how much it would hurt Bette and potentially Tina to have Helena at their table. Poor form, Alice. Sometimes you simply must take the higher road.
As for Jackie. Yikes, never stray from your notes! Rambling may take out her friendship with Bette and Tina if she’s not careful.
Of course, Bette should have been honest with Tina from the get go, but hopefully Tina will see that Bette had nothing but the best of intentions when setting up the foundation.
Omg, I finally caught up…YAY!! Whew, Jackie almost gave us a heart attack, I thought she was gonna reveal Bette. Alice is an ass for letting Helena sit on the table with B&T…Helena, what a dragon…woo, you got me on the edge of my seat, please do update soon;) Thanks Jwet!
Great chapter hope Bette tells Tina befor some one else tells her. Absolutly love your story.
OH boy.. Jackie shut up!!! i dont wanna be in Bettes skin when Tina find out..she is going to freak..lol..but i hope she underestand that was for a greater good and also i hope Bette and Tina talk about their feelings about wanna be partners again… great chapter ;-)
yes I’m still alive, I know you do!!! lol thanks to you!! lol Great Jwet keep it! it’s a wonderful story to read!!!
jackie dear…do us all a favor! stop spilling out!!! are you trying to give the mighty bette porter a heart attack???lol…i wonder how long bette could keep this a secret from tina better yet from alice…hang on people we’re in for i hope not a rough ride!
Good chapter and this is gonna be fun!
