****** Brooke had called and asked her and Eric to her graduation party. Tina knew it was important that they all have a chance to say goodbye before they went off to school at UT. After getting dressed, they packed clothes to stay overnight at Brooke’s, given Brooke’s parents had ensured everyone knew they’d be required to stay if they were consuming alcohol.
The sun was bright, the conversation between Eric and Tina was as it had always been, easy and light. Tina made a production of singing to the Sara Mc tune that was blaring through the radio.
The trip was no more then 20 minutes, no more then a blip in time essentially, but it didn’t end up like that. As they drove on I-35, safely maintaining the speed limit, it was clear that didn’t matter. When others don’t pay attention, one can still pay the price.
Neither Tina nor Eric saw the semi-truck swerving on the other side of the medium. They had no time to react as it crossed over, horns blaring, brakes screeching, and metal connecting on metal, which is a sound Tina was likely never to forget.
When Tina woke up, her hand was on the windshield and the car was beyond recognition. She saw her hand bloodied, her head was pounding, her body was aching, and her first thought was Eric. She looked over at Eric who was still in his seat strapped in by the seat belt. Tina undid hers in an effort to reach him. She touched his forehead, the gash dripping more blood then she had ever seen before. Tina struggled with the seat belt, unable to unlatch it due to the impact
of the semi-truck. The voices scrambling outside barely registered with Tina until someone knocked asking her if she could get out of the car. Tina nodded, lost in a fog of confusion, but knowing enough to understand she had to get out of the car in order to help Eric.
Tina looked ahead of her and saw a gaping hole in the windshield. After freeing her legs, she grabbed onto any metal she could find and began to boost herself out of the car. The shattered glass cut into her skin, although she seemed to not notice, her thoughts only on Eric. She accept a hand from a stranger that helped her down off the car and onto the pavement asking her what her name was and if she were ok. He informed her that EMS was already called, and begged
her to sit down.
The older gentleman reassured her that Eric would be ok as groups of people began to gather, growing impatient waiting for the ambulance. Tina looked back at the car, struggling to gain her footing in order to walk to the shoulder of the highway and sit down. Her hands were bloodied, she struggled with moving them, but no panic set in for herself. She was more concerned about Eric, still hanging upside down in the car with blood seeping from his head.
Tina turned around and faced the car once more. Time seemed to stand still as she blinked, her life now moving in slow motion. She saw the spark, the blue and yellow flame that once mesmerized her, that now haunts her. She saw the spark hit the wet pavement, igniting it quickly, and traveling at record speed to the car. She tried to lunge forward, open her mouth to scream, although no words would come out. She was paralyzed with fear. She fell to her knees as she
realized there was nothing she could do as the car exploded, taking her life up in flames with it. *****

Oops!!!! sorry, forgot something! lol! Ce chapitre est superbe, beaucoup de sensualité et d’émotion…J’ai vraiment eu du plaisir à le lire…Am I forgiven now? You got not just one word, but 2 sentences… lol…
I just caught up with both chapters. Damn woman that was HOT!!!!! I loved the floor action. Thanks PPS
Ok, I need Tina to give me a few pointers on basketball too! I love this story, pps.
okay slacker!3pages…lol tina needs to tell bette was up,where b can help her..the on court action was hot woman.and i would take the press action tooo.im soo glad youre getting into the flow of this writing business and youre doing such a great job.im willing to bet youll inspire other writers to jump on board,that have been a silent reader.the only thing i didnt like was needs to be longer….lol p.p.s.
Wow that was really good! A few really “hot” points as well. I always look foreward to this story. I hope it is not too long away for an update!PPS
Congrats Vols! Of course, it took a little time for us in Husky Nation to figure out who to cheer for – inconference rival or outofconference rival. All I can say is that a lot of UCONN fans never thought they would be cheering for UT – myself included! Great story!
That was one great chapter and I loved it,,,,Tylo I am enjoying your story and can’t wait for more!!!
I sure hope that Pokey has a better time of this new job then the last. She is an awesome coach and I hope that she lands somewhere soon. Love the players that make up the teams. Now add Tammy Reese and Carolyn Peck and I will jump for joy. Does Bette know that Tina works for an opposing Team? I hope that that will not be a problem. A co-worker’s daughter was in an accident that sent her and her boyfriends car off into some trees on I-10. They both got out just in time because it exploded within minutes of their exit. Can’t wait for the next post.
Tylo!!!! Great chapter. The scene with the fire is intense. Tina must have felt like her heart was ripped out in that very moment. Great chapter T, I am looking forward to the next chapter!!!
Damn B&T are hot at the court. That was sad for Tina and Bette there will help her get through that. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Great chapter!!!!! I love how you are using real present players and past players of womens basketball to tell your story. I also, was happy to see that Kelly Jolly is part of this story ( she is one of my favorites from UT. I think I told you that before, anyways what about our TEAM Winning it ALL. That game was great. Keep up the great writting. I love the tibette stories and yours is one of the best.
Tam, you know exactly how I feel, but once again, I applaud you publicly my friend. My fave line? Hmm….I’m sure you know that one..*snickering* She silently walked up behind Bette and placed her hands on Bette’s hips, which caused Bette to stand still in the position she had. Tina brought her mouth in to Bette’s ear and whispered.”If you open your hips wider, but bring your feet closer and plant them here, your shot will be better”YUMMY – **** THUD **** a few things are making me go Thud this week, and that line was just pure lust and hotness…mm-mmm go Tina. Just remember Tee…blondes sometimes have more fun, BUT brunettes at least remember it the next day. ROFLMAOOO…god I’m sorry, but someone shared that with me the other night and I laughed my ass off when she did. I guess it’s all in how it is voiced….writing it does no justice.Many hugs my friend, and I’m loving the Fic. So many angles and such. Oh BTW, I am NOT always in *** …just saying. Love and Hugs.
oh 2 experience what T has where her brother is concerned must b hard. wonder how B will respond when she finds out and all the stuff that comes along with it…..dreams, sleepless nights, memories coming up when new memories jog them back to life. its fiction I know. lol pps
they girls on each team are real players,and miss rai is a hotttttttt and a great actress.. just borrowed them dont sue me!!!!!!!!!
That was great!!! Each time these two make some contact, my screen is kinda melting , and they even didn’t “!§?%£”, yet, know what I mean? lol… Btw, a sexy brunette and a nice blonde would be so yummy for dinner, don’t you find? Hotter than any kind of casual food lol! Again, love this story…Keep on entertaining us T!
Well now I know why Eric had been mentioned a few times before. I kept thinking it was a mistake. lol PPS
The things that come out of their mouth(not tongue) is so HOOOOTTT. Looks like Bette will be playing with some of the best. Tamiks Catchings is from my home town and grad from here. Wondering how the new coach from Duke will do here in Texas. maybe pretty BlueEyes in Tenn will have a good rival again. MBA will start 22 and I go into the hospital 25th. My family will tivo the games while I,m gone. I,m a Mavs fan so You;ll know who I shall be rooting for. Love Tina and Bette and Shane thanks
