I didn’t have to wait long to know, she looked up at me, I saw her swallow before speaking.
“Can I ask you something…?” She glanced at me as she spoke quietly.
“Sure…”
“How much weight have you lost?”
I wondered at her sudden change in demeanour, but her words were straight to the point, there was no preamble to which subject she wanted to cover, there were other things that I think we could have been talking about, under the circumstances…
She had put her hand on my back when we held one another, she told me that she and Alice had carried me to bed last night, and I suddenly became aware that she could not only see but she had felt how much weight I had lost, there was no hiding it when we were so close, but I’m not sure I was ready to go into all this…
“Not much really…”
She looked at me with dismay written so clearly on her face, she raised her eyebrows at me, I never could lie to her…
“Tell me how much…”
“I don’t know to be honest, I haven’t weighed myself…”
“Kit must be worried about you if she’s bringing food around…”
“Talking of Kit, how is your cheek feeling?”
I watched her bring her hand up to the cheek that had been slapped sharply by my sister, I still didn’t know what exchange of words they had shared, I’m sure Kit would be telling me what she had delighted in telling Tina, things she had been telling me that she would be saying to her when she laid eyes on her…
“It’s okay…”
I wasn’t sure whether I should apologise on behalf of my sister, and I quickly decided not to, Kit was always having choice words to say whenever she asked the same question and got the same answer, every day in the last seven weeks and four days she had asked if I had heard from Tina, every day she got the same answer, she had already told me that Tina needed a good slapping, well from the looks of this morning it was what she had got, I’m afraid I had to give a wry smile at my sister… my thoughts were broken as she spoke to me again.

Starting the day over is a good start… if they could just do that with the last 8 weeks, maybe everything would be ok…
Painful, heart-wrenching, but beautiful & hopeful too? Awesome writing Jobadge.
I was so glad to see you posted another chapter to this amazing story… As painful and heartbreaking as it is, I am so enjoying this jorney. Thanks a bunch Jo.
Damn women – once again I’m looking like something the seahorse has draged in….swollen red and wet eyes!!! The part with “Tina my passion walked out of here seven weeks and five days ago, my passion left me….” was simply breathtaking….the whole chapter was amazing!!!! You’re the best, no question about it!!!! Thanks for yet another masterpiece xx
a page of perfection!
Yet another heartwrenching chapter…always beautifully written…though would have to pick my moments to read it!…Hormones can do that to ya!!!..Good stuff tho!
I wonder if Bette meant to add that she’d eat and throw it up. Tina didn’t seem to notice that.
This was emotional and awesome Jo…I was exhausted emotionally just reading it. Where does Tina & Henry stand? They seemed happy the other day at the store. Does Bette & Tina have a chance? Is Tina just sorry about how she treated Bette or could they get back together?
Sniff-sniff. Jo you’re killing me with these two.
What can I say Jobadge ? You’re a poet. Another heartwrenching chapter indeed but the kind of “heartwrench” we love. This is all so beautiful and so painful at the same time. Oh, and I love your “parallel editing” of the story too. It’s really great to get the chance to see things from both points of view ( and so rare ! ). So enlightening ! Anyway, every single chapter is a wonderful gift you are offering us, Jo, so thank you so much !
is incredible how you show us all their pain and her fears just in one page, i don’t know if i can handle two pages likes this! it’s so heartache, i think that i should take some painkillers before read your next chapter! well done, girl
passion walked away but maybe hope just came back in? i hope…
That Tina is willing to stick around after being slapped around by the sisters Porter is quite a hopeful sign. She deserves it, of course. And it’s a necessary first step if anything better is to come.
Is there a way to start the last year to year and a half over? Jo, you are really laying it all out in the open. This is so heartfelt and pulls from deep within one’s soul. A person reading this can feel the pain, hurt and anger that emanates off of Bette and to some degree Tina. I hope that they can work their selves back together for both of their sakes (and well mine too because I love Tibette)
Damn this is awsome and Im with funnyone and let see whats next, thanks!
heart-achingly brilliant.
awesome jo….you are an amazing writer….i love this fic….please, continue soon…..i wont be the least bit aggravated if you decide to post oh…say….another 3 or 4 chapters today…..lol…….. =0)
Your writing is so extraordinary that I feel Bette’s and Tina’s pain. You’re so skillful that I forgive Bette but Tina’s another story. You write more in one page….economy of words but certainly not emotions.
Jo that was just amazing. Thank you ans Please Post Soon
This is sooooo heart breaking,But Love it
gee Jo you are just a phenomenal writer but this is SO painful i really don’t know if i can keep reading it because it brings so many tears to me. you are just the greatest writer on the board EVER
Soo amazing! I wonder how Tina will deal with Bette’s anger..then there is Kit and the friends..then Henry..and ofcourse she still loves B..will she get back the house to help Bette…Will B have her back easily? Lots of stuff still to happen :P I can’t wait for next chapter!.
Wonderful chapter Jo! So much emotions on a single page.
Heartwrenching… Its like eating chocolat when you have a toothache, reading your stories… You want it so bad even though you know its gonna hurt… BUT the hope you give… The communication you master… If only your name were IC… Love this Jo! PPS!
This is so hard to read, very painful. Yet you cant stop reading nor stop the tears. thanks
