Hindsight – Chapter 30
“Tina… I think there are some things that are best left…”
She looked at me then; I saw her mind wondering at my words, “maybe someday you’ll be able to share it with me…”
I quietly replied as I saw the look in her eyes, “maybe…”
She smiled in return, we would have to start being able to be open with one another, as we had been today…, rebuilding the trust between us from all those weeks and months of our past estrangement.
“Are you sure you are okay?” I asked her as a faraway look crossed her features.
“Yeah… today has just been so… surreal…”
“Yeah it has…” I agreed.
“I’ve had all these thoughts in my head for so long and to… you know… finally, come out and say them…”
“You don’t regret it do you…?” I had a moments panic as I realised she was referring to our mutual declaration.
“No… its just, that having the thoughts, for all that time…, its… its so different saying it aloud… when all it has been is… in your head…”
“It kinda makes it…”
“Real… it makes it all… real…”
“Does that scare you…?”
“Huh,” she laughed as she spoke, “it scares the shit out of me…”
“Why…”
“Because of everything I now have to face… everything I have been trying to escape from… or everything I have been trying to ignore…, I suddenly have this…”
“I’m here for you T…”
“I know babe…, but I have this huge mountain in front of me to climb…, and there is a lot of that climbing that I have to do alone…”
“I’ll be at the top waiting for you T…”
“I know… and that’s what is going to make the climb worth every step…”
“I’ll help you…” I pleaded, and I would, I would be there for her every step of the way…
“Some things I need to do alone Bette…” there was sadness in her voice, an almost defeated tone before the journey began…
“It’ll be okay…”
“Yeah… it will… given time…” she gave me a small smile, I felt a drop in my stomach…, the only thing I could hope for is that she had no regrets, that we could do this together, and I would be there for her, even when she had to deal with certain things alone, I would still support her…
I saw face drop suddenly, her feet became motionless; she was rooted to the spot, “fuck…”
“What is it T… what’s the matter…”
I looked to where her eyes were fixed, I didn’t see anything suspicious, just the same family scenes from the afternoon, but then I saw the boy… the boy with the blonde curly hair who had asked me once to take a family photo…
She stuttered her words…, “It’s… fuck…, its Mikey…”

More drama, I’m ready for it Jo. Bring it on!!!
Damn that too cute Mikey… I’m kidding.
More soon…that was great…
Of course… No plain sailing for B&T. Why *wouldn’t* perfect wee Mikey make an appearance? I wonder if Daddy Hank isn’t afoot as well? You’ll have to post again, please, as soon as, Jo. You can’t leave it there… (well, you just did, didn’t you?)
Mikey was The most annoying kid unlike Angelica who was scrumptious.
Promise me that nobody fucks Mickey! Now granted this is the first time they’ve been together in a long while and a park isn’t on a sunny, busy day isn’t the optimal setting, but they really need to start qpening up to each other.
Mickey, Mikey, whatever the little brat’s name is.
Why did I know you were about to do it? lol You are not satisfied when ppl are just dancing around, are you? :P Kay, bring it on! ;)
Dam Jo…I knew you were gonna do this, but I thought T was gonna see Henry watching them from a distance. They can’t have just one little trip to the park huh??? I think they should have gone to the beach! Maybe they could have found some smooth sailing there! LOL! Alright Jo…now you’ve got to get them past this and help Tina make her climb up the hill to Bette as quickly as possible. Kinda like ripping off a bandaid…the quicker you do it, the less painful it is. Thanks for this and all your wonderful stories Jo. You’re awesome!
Expect smooth sailing from you? Never. Just don’t make it too bad, ok? I don’t know why I’m so addicted to you breaking my heart, but here I am, yet again. ;) Looking forward to more, Jo, thanks!
Bring all the drama Jo! I love it!
If Henry is with Mikey then you know damn goodin’ well that he is looking for Tina. She mentioned to Henry that they were going to the park. I hope that this stirres Tina into action a hell of a lot faster than she had intended. Hopefully, Tina will lean on Bette to help her get her life back in order again (with Bette). The uphill battle may have just gotten a little easier if Henry is checking up on her. It sounds like Henry already knows that Tina is leaving him and he is out to hold onto her (not playing fair).
I hope Tina can climb that mountain…she needs to rip that band-aid quickly and talk to Henry before Mikey runs and tells…Jo I feel bad cause I went to vote today and I was locked out…sigh…that sucks.
LMFAO at the drama! Oh please post soon Jo.
Caught up again–Jo, you gave it away with the “no smooth sailing” comment, but I figured that Henry would show up. Now that these girls have said what’s in their hearts, I think they will be able to overcome whatever obstacles are put before them. Time and love are on their side, and I trust that you will not break our hearts!
uh-oh! No rest for tina – she’s got to face her choices.
e is a good kid. he was just being a child.wanting something normal in his life a family. Czn’t fault him. Tina and Bette has gotten along so well in the last 24 hrs. Dont like it be Henry,if it is Tina will be very angry,because he knew where they would be,but he might be with his Mother. Tina is going to be angry anyway it goes. thanks
Mikey has a family…bye bye Mikey! Their family is Angelica, Bette & Tina. Enough said!
All I can really say is, “Oh crap!”
at least you give us hope! but with your wonderful writing you can do whatever you want. the next one please
here we go jo
Smooth sailing…? with you…? Jo…. never! And why would we want that? You write drama, need, pain and ache in such gut wrenching but beautiful ways. Odd, I know, but I find myself wanting more of the B/T grief (with that touch of Jobadge signature tenderness)… are you turning me into a masochist here? The horror!!! LOL…Mikey, huh? Tina just can’t catch a break… Thank you, Jo!
Oh I knew it. More Drama and a cliffhanger. Can´t wait for the next. Thanks Jo. Please post asap!!!
And there I was enjoying the prospect of some happier times for Bette . . but NO, curly boy is gonna haunt fanfic as well.
Uh oh! Well, bring it on Jo! Can’t wait for the next chappy.
Guess it wouldnt have been realistic to think it could have been plain sailing…lets hope Henry turns out to be just a hiccup..Good one!
Damn why don’t they leave B&T alone. Now drama and let see whats gonna happen. Please post soon, thanks!
The words “smooth sailing” aren’t in your vocabulary mate, that would be to easy and no real challenge for you!!! But I think you forgot to tell Ed about this LOL
