Chapter 7
Kit walked out of the kitchen mad. Mad at herself for compounding Bette’s pain when all she wanted to do was make her better and mad at Bette for getting herself into this condition in the first place.
Bette shoulder plowed into the hall wall in her haste and she wasn’t able to neatly make the turn to head down the hall to the bathroom. Pain shot through her shoulder up her neck into her head causing her to gasp, which was almost her undoing. It was only with both her hands slapped tightly across her mouth, clamping it shut that prevented a nasty mess all over the hall floor.
Desperate to reach the toilet bowl, Bette spurned the pain and pushed off the wall with her elbow shooting her forward with all her might. Her feet felt too large, causing her to stumble and almost trip but she persevered aware that her hands were all that was left. At last she achieved her destination, diving head first for the white porcelain bowl.
Bette reaches the bowl and collapses in front of it, releasing her hands and hanging her head. She had no control over what happened next, nature is taking its course. With her head bent down her body convulsed expelling from her of all the vile acid it contained. She was at the mercy of a force greater then her at this moment. She barely had time to breath before her stomach violently clenches again contracting hard taking any wind left in her lungs with it. She’s doubled over with her forehead resting on the toilet seat panting between contractions. This motion repeats until there is nothing left to be expelled and still her stomach contracts. The violence of every action takes away everything Bette has. She feels empty and spent. She had nothing left, no breath, no stomach juices and no strength. Hopefully done, Bette collapses beside the toilet on the floor.
The whole process not only leaves Bette drained of any and all energy but she also feels sweat beading up on her forehead and running down her back. She is burning up. The cold surface of the tile floor feels good. It was then that Bette feels the cold wash rag against the back of her neck. Turning her head slightly, she looks to see who is providing the comfort. Again she looks right into Kit’s eyes but this time it wasn’t warmth that Bette sees. Kit’s eyes were full of different emotions fear, anger, confusion and compassion. These weren’t the happy eyes of moments ago. In some ways Kit’s eyes are mirror images of Bette’s own on many similar occasions through out the years only this time their roles were reversed. It’s this knowledge that let’s Bette measure just how low she has come.

oh j this is so good and it feels so real. never been like that and know i never want to. yes plumbing is fixed after 5days of 6 having a plumber over for various break downs, wooo hooo. now its organizing. thx
Okay! This is great news, Tina can still reach Bette. I can see how Bette and Kit would both serve as a reminder of Melvin’s disappointment toward each other. It’s sad, in this case, because we know that though Kit was obviously disappointed, she was the one person who could sympathize the most with Bette. Thanks, Jwet. PPS!
Still so potent. Love this story. I’m with jikes, it’s great to see Tina can still reach Bette at least on some level. Can’t wait for more. Thank you.
Tina is exactly where she should be, with Bette. Helena can go swim to Hawaii without help. There is still a connection between Bette and Tina and if any one can bring back the once vibrant Bette it is Tina.
Just wonderful, poor Bette at least she has Tina again who I am sure will wonders for B. love this story PPPS
Happy to see Tina can still reach out to Bette. Kit and Bette are another problem. I so wish Helena would just take a slow trip to Hell!!!! Thank you
It’s so sad to think of the emotional abuse Melvin put Bette through as a child. It’s really heartbreaking.I’m also really glad that Tina seems to have a calming effect on Bette. It’s not much but it’s a start.
I agree with Sammer, and once again you did a wonderful job of describing the physical scene with such clarity. I found myself continuously swallowing as I read about Bette. Thanks J!!
Poor Bette, hitting bottom is a sad state of affairs, you’re painting quite a picture. Looking forward to more.
What an amazing update and was so good to see that Tina could still reach out to Bette. Love this story. Thank you! Definitely a start to more :)
so heartbreaking…and i really liked how tina’s voice has such a calming effect on Bette…
You have Bette in such a bad situation that it will take a lot to get her out and among the living. You have the skills to do it so I’m counting on you to bring her through. PPVVS.
That was great and glad Bette listen to Tina and hope she will let Tina help her get better. Please post more, thanks!
wow, Helena seems likely to do Tina some damage on the morrow. Trusting that T won’t go near her. Great stuff, a little more hope there too.
just catching up with this story, I really do wonder how I get anything done?? this is heartbreaking seeing Bette so broken….I am hoping that Tina is up for the challenge here because clearly Bette needs her and in fact Tina is the only one that can reach her.
Hi JWETI’m really enjoying this story – LinBooks wrote a great start & i’m so glad you have picked it up. but its such a page turner i’ve just read it all in one go! i always like storys wher T is strong for B – because all that control& drive always hid her vulnerabilities ( & the harder the fall) I fear for T though; Helena’s retribution when she works out where T has been will be cruel – though i think her first act will be to try to show that she owns Tina & can take what she wants of Tina. & who is going to pick T up after that? please kep writing and let B recover herself through T’s support.
Powerful and heartbreaking, Jwet. I’m hoping you’ve taken Bette about as far down as she’s going. Made me smile though that Tina’s soothing voice could still reach her. Love your writing!
