Tina dialed Summer’s number."Summer, pack your bags"
"Why?" Summer asked in a calm tone only because Alex was next to her.
"I have a friend sending a private jet to pick you both up, then you will meet a woman named Anna and she will take you to a safe house. I am really getting close to having all the paperwork we need so you both should be here soon"
"How is my little girl doing?"
"Good. Actually she thinks this is fun"
"I love you Summer. Thanks. I will talk to you when you get on the plane"
She hung up.
Maggie was talking to Anna and getting things set up. "Thanks again Maggie"
They both walked out the door and headed back to the hospital.
At the hospital the nurse brought in two shakes.
"Do I have to drink both of these?" asked Bette.
"No" replied the nurse, "the other one is for her" pointing at Bink’.
"What!" answered Bink’s.
"According to doctor Stone you’re supposed to have one too" the nurse replied.
They both sat there looking at the shakes like scolded children, each wanting to gag when they took the first sip. Half way through the drinks Maggie and Tina walked through the door.
Bette piped up.
"You’re in trouble Stone…"
Maggie looked at Bink’s. She had the How dare you I am a Kane look. Mags just glared at Bette.
"Maggie, I would like to see you in your office" Bink’s said as she walked towards the door. They walked back out and got to her office. When she shut the door Bianca started talking.
"Maggie I do not need what Bette is drinking. We are two different people. I don’t need you telling me what I can and can’t have. I have things together. You need to stop worrying"
"Bianca, things are going to change and I mean right now. You and Bette are in the same place right now ever since Jonathan. You think I have not noticed that you hardly eat any more and when we have dinner together you push your food aside more than eat it. When I hold you, you feel like you might break. I can really tell when I look in your eyes you’re not her. But I won’t let you go. I will fight for both of us"
******************************************************
"Bette, how are you feeling?" asked Tina.
"Ok. The doc said I can go home tomorrow. I asked that Maggie be my doctor then I can stay at wild wind. They have servant so I would never have to lift a finger. That is a good thing because the doc also told me that I have to take a week off"
"Well Bette, you can come home with me" said Tina.
"That is sweet Tina but then you would have to take off work. I can’t have you do that.
But you could stay at wild wind, I mean I have a wing to myself and I am sure it is ok with them if you come"
"I will think about it" replied Tina, "how long have you, Bianca and Maggie known each other?"
"I have known Binks since I was 13. I met herat camp. We hit it off and became instant friends. Our parents moved in the same circle so we hung out after camp as well.

T, sorry I didn’t get this proofed sooner. I had gotten a number of stories to take a look at before the ceremony so I was really bogged down. Anyway, this one hits a little too close to home for me. I think it is a storyline that certainly needs to be told, and I feel you definately have done it justice. You took this part of Bette’s struggle and have delicately brought it to life over the last 21 chapters up to this one. I’m pleased you didn’t take such a struggle and just address it in one chapter. You have done a fine job with this, and I hope to see you continue this until she is able to get this in remission. There never really is a true cure for it, and it takes alot of work on your own part and the support of other’s around you to help one keep it in check. Thanks again.
Hey Ty, so happy to see that this story is back,,,,,,and I must say that when I started reading the names of Binks and Maggie it finally dawned on me who the heck were these gals,,LOL AMC. TBH I liked Lena and Binks much more, but oh well I like your story better. Now I see that this is a very serious subject and unfortunately, many women and even men more so are using this form of disease to not gain weight. It kills and its not pretty :( And I loved how Magg’s is ging to help Tina with her daughter and best friend. Great chapter Ty :)
Well, I have posted a new tibette chapter, so please check it out when you have the chance! Anyhoo, great chapter, I hope Tina gives Bette the tender care she needs and be the loving partner Bette needs as well! You are the best! :-)
You don’t wanna know what I’m doin’ at 3am, but I was VERY happy to watch Germany take the Cup and see a Nike commercial with Mia in it! “I am an athlete”…I miss her! Anyway..onto your story. This is a very hard subject matter to deal with, and I have a lot of personal thoughts on the matter actually. I’ll save them for private, but I did want to say that I’m still following even if I don’t leave a comment all the time…thanks for posting a great chapter! HUGS*
Eating disorders are so dangerous but easy to fall into. It seems to be the only thing that a person is able to control, the amount of food intake or lack of. It takes a lot of courage to work on the eating and then it takes more courage to open up about it. Hopefully, Bette and Tina can be there for each other.
Glad to see an update at last :) Your summary was quite accurate, ‘the dangers of eating disorders’ – So not just a physical process. The frame of mind you’re in mentally builds up and progresses. These notions in your head fester until you’re crouched beside the toilet bowl forcing your stomach out. But one of most horrifying things is that it’s likely to be permanent, I mean, you can ‘recover’ but you never actually rid yourself of it. Once you’ve seen how easy it is to skip meals, throw up, start lying, that’s an addiction in itself. The thrill of the hunger pains reiterating your control. Unfortunately, the rate is growing and it’s been a shockingly common theme in my life so far. And when I state a negative comment about anorexia or bulimia, I’m not going out of my way to be hypocritical. I’m trying to offer insight, not only from experience but also from watching it progress in others. That’s another thing you stand to lose; with all the lies you tell, it’s hard to gain that trust again. Hard for your friends to let you go urinate without standing with their ears pressed into the door. Bette’s gained weight after a substantial fall before, I assume? In that case, she needs to let Tina in. Acknowledge that it’s become a problem again and work towards fixing it. Together. Same goes for Tina, she doesn’t escape my lexical beating.. I understand it’s hard to trust but T really needs to tell Bette about Summer and Alex. I presume she will soon if they’re about to get into the thick of the action. But Bette needs to see that in order to care for Tina, Alex, Binks, etc. She needs to be fit. Oh, and I did feel myself tearing up over Maggie’s words to Binks, “When I hold you, I feel you might break” – that one was quite hard to read since it sounds a lot like a comment I, myself, made to a friend recently. It’s a scary thought to hold someone and feel every contour of their skeleton against you. But it’s even scarier when you feel how fragile they are and STILL feel jealous at their size. Thank you so for this story. It’s real and it’s brave. Thank you, ADx
Tylo… good chapter… and i also think it needs to be addressed… and its good that bette will be watched… maybe tina can stay withher… that was a great idea… and i hope alex comes soon to be with tina… maybe a car could hit jonathon… it would solve a lot of the problems… PPS
Good chapter. Hope they will catch that baster soon and put him in jail forever. Hope Bette will get well soon and she and Tina need to talk. Please post soon, thanks!
