I Fall Behind pt.15
“You can stop pretending. You’ve rescued me
enough… you’ve done your good deed. I’m not your project, not a
problem for you to solve.”
Tina’s outraged gasp made Bette close her eyes tight.
“Is that what you think I’m doing?! Is that who you
think I am?!” Tina had jumped up on her knees. Her voice hasn’t risen,
but it dripped with hurt.
“Tina, I’m not saying… I’m very grateful to you.
The past few days I felt more alive than I ever have. But it’s not
going to go anywhere. I’m… I’m not ready. And you’re…”
“WHAT? Say it Bette.”
“You sleep with people for money.”
Tina’s breath left her in a rush. She felt like
Bette had not only punched her in the stomach, but also punched into
her chest and retrieved her heart through the jagged hole.
“***** you, Bette.”
Bette felt tears come to her eyes. Out of the corner
of her eye, she saw Tina scramble up off the bed, give her a last
contemptous glare, and walk out the door. The pain was so sudden and
sharp that it dislodged her from her self. She realized that she was
floating above her body. She realized that she was dreaming. She
realized that she wasn’t really there, that she didn’t really just hurt
the woman that she… loved?
She swallowed hard to calm herself. There, Bette,
you’ve done it. You’ve chased her away… and she’s gone. You goddamned
***** you deserve to be alone. You stupid ***** you’ve done it now.
Are you happy? Are you relieved? Your life will go back to it’s
original order. You’re dead. You’re dead.
Bette tamped down on whatever regret and grief she was feeling, rolled to bury her face in her pillow, and slept.
*****
Tina threw herself into the driver’s seat of her
car. She could hardly see beyond the haze of tears. She was hurt, she
admitted, but mostly she was furious.
“***** you, Bette! Just… ***** you!” She muttered.
Finally, the dam broke and she started to cry. Her sobs echoed in the
nearly empty parking area.
Ten minutes later, Tina had wiped her eyes dry. She
remembered something her mother used to say. The confused woman would
sometimes wake her daughter at night with frantic tugs on Tina’s hands
or feet. When Tina would wake, she would see her mother crying and
staring at her wide-eyed. Her mother would pull her and tuck her head
under her chin, desperately frightened. She’d whisper shakily to her
child, “Tina sweetheart, when they find you, pretend you don’t know me.”
Tina knew she wasn’t through with Bette Porter yet.
Let her hide as much as she wants now, Tina decided. So she says she
doesn’t play games, huh? I’m pretty good at hide and seek. She knew the
best way to draw out a hiding child.
One, tease her with the most enticing toy you have.
Two, pretend you’ve already found someone first.
Tina decided that if Bette didn’t want to run with her, she’d just have to run slower and be sneakier.
Still one last sob ripped out of her throat. Why was it so hard to love Bette?

Please keep going ~ I really enjoy this story. I don’t think Bette is aware of just how observant Tina really is.
Tina has to realiz that sleeping with other people is going to afect her relationship with Bette. I think she needs to fight for Bette but also look into finding a new job. Great story, realy enjoying, please post soon.
grrr bette grrrr
Does Bette need stronger medication or something? Look I don’t care if she’s a crackhead with a tendency to eat her own hair, she has her own personal suite at the local mental ward, she is are presently juggling different flavours of antidepressants just for the hay of it. When a woman like Tina K offers her her time and love she should take it and fucking run with it until she can’t run anymore. Bette needs a swift kick, I mean why is she taking the bloody meds if she’s still going to be all defeatus. Bette thinks she can’t run with Tina well how the heck does she think she’s going to run with my foot lodged up her ass. You never and I mean never deny love, major faux pas.
slipperynipple, that’s exactly what I need to hear :) Well, not really for this story but for personal reasons *blush*. Thanks for everyone’s kind comments. I’ll probably be unable to update for a day coz I’ll be drop dead tired from a new job. But I’ll be back day after tomorrow. Or sooner even if I can help it :)
I feel ya, Bette. I.Feel.Ya.
