Hindsight – Chapter 8
Main Entry: hindsight
Pronunciation: ‘hIn(d)-"sIt
Function: noun
Meaning: understanding the nature of an event after it has happened
"Hindsight is always better than foresight"
I watched her walk to the kitchen after our uncomfortable moment; I took a deep breath as I walked to the lounge, carrying Angelica in my arms, her gurgling noises bringing my mind to the moment.
I sat down and sighed, this was harder than I ever imagined, last night watching over her was hard, watching her and Angelica sleep beside one another. It had brought my emotions to the fore, the emotions I had been hiding, ignoring, trying not to think about, but this morning was a completely different matter, this morning was a mountain of emotions to climb.
The words that had been thrown at me by Kit were deserved, I knew that, I didn’t profess to be an innocent party in the decline of our partnership or the decline of the health and well being of Bette Porter, I knew my actions were what had brought her to her knees, brought her to the edge of existence, and that was something I was deeply ashamed of, I never believed I could be capable of such an act of emotional depravity of keeping her daughter away from her.
I’m not yet sure whether it was the fact of just Angelica not being part of her life or our partnership ending that had brought her to her lowest ebb. I need to be honest with myself, I can’t hide it anymore, I can’t ignore it anymore, I have to be honest with not only her, but myself too…
And in being honest it would be that the decline in our relationship was the start of her emotional decline, and that I exacerbated that decline by keeping Angelica away from her. I honestly didn’t think she would sink this low, so low as to contemplate those three bottles of pills last night, the pills I had flushed down the toilet last night, along with all the other pills I had left behind when I left the place that used to be my home.

ahh that last line!! i would of broke down in tears once again!! good lord the intensity
OMG what a cliffy!!! You better post reeeeeaaaaally soon, how about lunch time tomorrow?? Big overlap, loved that….and I can’t wait to hear T’s response. I hope she will think before speaking, something she haven’t done in the last chapters. Great work Jo xx
yes! now the ball is in Tina’s court and i hope that she will honest with Bette, they can heal up together. Good thing that you work doesn’t keep you busy
Ooooo, so good… Come on Tina. You can do it. Fix everything, Jo, please?
jo….very nicely done. Pls con’t…..
That was heartbreaking but the end left me feeling hopefull.
WOW!!! Jo Just Great!!! Tina needs to really think before she speeks. She needs to stanf=d behind what she say’s. Thank you PPS
It just so good mate, and powerful.
That was also evil, leaving us there, another great chapter by yourself, Hope they can get over the pain and hurt
It is powerful and painful to watch these two try and work out some of what is going on in their heads. I know that Bette still loves Tina beyond anything in this world and my guess is that Tina has also come to that conclusion. Where do they go from here and is there a chance that they can work out the relationship that I feel in my heart they want with each other?
I’m not sure how Tina should answer that last line. If she says she didn’t miss Bette, then we all know that’s a lie. If she says she DID miss Bette, Bette could explode and ask why the hell she stayed gone for so long.
the last line just reminds me of season 3 when bette said the same thing and tina just began talking about angelica…i can’t wait to see her reply in the next chapter…thank you
Whatever she says I hope it dosen’t cause an argument. Bette is so fragile right now.
This was an incredible chapter. The ending was so powerful.
please continue soon…this is excellent…poor Angel!!!!she must feel the grief between her moms.
please continue soon…this is excellent…poor Angel!!!!she must feel the grief between her moms.
God….I hope Tina and Bette can through all this pain. Thanks for the update Jo…pps
Thankyou for posting so often, it helps when your reading something so powerful…
The usual good stuff!…And short chapters but often..which is good too…Nice one!
I’ve read all your stories and every single one is wonderful. You seem to write with a poetic nerve that most people can only dream of achieving. You get a ton of well-deserved praise through these comments… so this one may seem redundant. Still, I don’t think we can celebrate your writing enough – therefore, thanks for another great chapter. I think you capture the diversity of Tina and Bette’s perspectives in a very elegant way. Please post soon…
OK, Tina, time to dig deep. Whatever you say, make sure you really mean it. Make sure you can live it.
Wow, Jo. Amazing writing as always! It certainly helps to have both their viewpoints. C’mon Tina say what’s really in your heart …
We also love it when work doesn’t keep you too busy, Jo.
Damn I can’t read right now…a hungry SD is on the warpath and wants to go now LOL. Has to be later mate xx
this is the first story that literally made me cry… i bow to you, you realy know how to evoke the right feelings… post soon :)
Oh my fucking god… Im sorry didnt mean to swear, but can someone please get this woman to write all her life? Thank you Jobadge!
Like Tina Turner….you are simply the best! OK, Tina Kennard. Ball’s in your court.
Damn this is so good. Now its time for B&T to get back together, they will talk more and work thing out. Hope Tina will dump henrydick soon. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Gosh you’re good jo. I wonder if you know it? Another excellent and heart- wrenching, yet somehow comforting chapter. So much emotions in your written words,kinda scary actually. I’m beginning to feel a bit for Tina. I think she now realizes the pain she’s caused with her actions, and wants Bette to forgive her. I forgive her Now.I honestly don’t think she ever stopped loving bette,but perhaps she tried to stop loving her and just couldn’t. So much love there, and it so obvious. I wonder what Tina’s response will be to hearing bette say those words?Please post soon.
