Today she finds herself here mostly because of the shame she’s brought on by losing everything. Bette can’t deal with the exposure of her ugly inner self she should have been able to find a better way. Her punishment to herself was to surround herself with the unforgiving silence. Silence which represented so much more, escape, avoidance, self indulgence they all can easily be defined as disappointment. Because she was so disappointed in herself she couldn’t stand the look of disappointment in Kit’s eyes.
Seeing this look in Kit’s face turned Bette’s stomach. She didn’t want to look at those eyes that were so much like her Fathers. Bette will never know if that’s what caused round two of her stomach fiercely heaving or if it was just the natural flow of events. Either way Bette was forced to turn back to the bowl to ride out the episode of dry heaves the best she could.
“Uh huh” was all Kit could say. She left the wet wash rag draped across the back of Bette’s neck, while she held Bette’s hair back and away from the water. There was nothing else to do but watch Bette’s body convulse in spasms, her stomach trying to rid itself of contents that had long ago left.
“There you go, get it all out.” Kit says trying to provide comfort to Bette.
Bette could hear as well as feel Kit. But it was a feeling she could do without. The sounds coming from Kit offer Bette little comfort. To Bette’s ears Kit’s words are nothing more than fingernails being run down a chalkboard. The combination of the two, Kit’s eyes and her words, combine to create a sense of anxiety within Bette. The longer Bette kneels the more uneasy she becomes. Soon there is nothing about Kit that can calm Bette inner soul. Weakened by the harshness of her vomiting, Bette was helpless to fight Kit’s support yet she began to struggle against it.
Kit was bent over Bette, holding onto her shoulders, supporting her so Bette wouldn’t fall to the floor. When it was clear the episode was mercifully over, Kit pulled Bette up to her feet. She wrapped her sturdy arm around Bette’s waist while wrapping Bette’s arm over her shoulder.

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!
