In truth, she was afraid that she would break the brunette. Her spirit- battered from her recent tragedy isn’t up to these blows. She was going to keep it a secret for as long as possible. Another part of her was afraid that by acknowledging all their past ugly breakups, without the memories of the good times, that Bette would choose to leave her behind for good. After all, drama is not a spice that was needed in the brunette’s rich life.

“Kit, I just remembered… Did he- Did he get… tested?” Alice’s sharp mind went into overdrive at her friend’s inquiry. She couldn’t believe that she hadn’t thought of it yet, before the thin brunette by her side voiced her concern to the older women with them there. She waited, feigning patience so as not to further pile on the pressure on her friend. They needed an answer, not another argument.
Earlier that week, the two of them got into a big misunderstanding. Alice had accused the older woman of shaking off her responsibility once more, like always. The furious blond had suggested so much as accused Kit of shrugging off her duty to her sister to the one person that had hurt Bette so much before. This did not go well with the older woman, to put it lightly. The argument had been prevented from turning physical by Shane and several other employees in the popular coffee shop.
They had made up later that day, starting off with the younger woman apologizing for her accusations. Kit accepted her apology but remained distant from her since then and it was understood that feelings were hurt as much as trust- an important element to keeping them together, was reduced. What Alice didn’t realize is how much she had affected the older woman. Already feeling tired and useless in improving Bette’s condition by at the least keeping her company, Kit was shot down for passing on those duties to someone she saw fit. She felt that it was what her little sister would have wanted anyway. Nevertheless, guilt flooded her.
“Kit? Did you hear me?”
“Yeah. Erm… Negative.” They breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn’t been tested before, then Bette would be under a lot of uncertainty since the disease may only manifest itself down the road. The three of them sat there focused in their own worlds until Kit had to deal with some customers that were unattended.

Whoa! Who died?
powerful and sad…i hope everyone will find peace and happiness soon…love cummings poetry too…
Another great update! This is truly sad. Bette will get better, won’t she?Tibette needs to be victorious with a happy ending. PPVVS
If “he” is who I think he is… then I almost want to say that death is a release he maybe didn’t deserve. But maybe that’s what Bette might need to start healing and moving on. Great update, thanks MsH. (and I love e.e. cummings)
Interesting story, but too vague. I do hope that eventually you plan to tie everything together and not leave things open to interpretation. I, for one, would like a clear-cut explanation on everything. Also, earlier in the story, you mentioned that Alice, Shane, and Helena were in the planet wanting an explanation from Kit about what happened to Bette and had ended up giving her resigned expressions when she wouldn’t. Now you are making like no one has ever met Helena before and she just showed up. It doesn’t make any sense and you should probably go back in the story and edit it so that it does. If this story is supposed to be somewhere between the third and fourth season, then Helena would have been a part of the group anyway according to the show’s timeline.
Great update the story is great! So sad and hopeful at the same time. Plus ee cummings poetry magical!
Loved that opening you’ve written about love. So true. Great update by the way. I, too hopes that everyone would find peace. Update soon!
