    I Need My Best Friend – Part 9

     

    ‘Bette, how much longer are you going to stay in the guest room?’

     

    ‘Until you  I’m fine in there.’

     

    ‘I still don’t know that I’ll ever be able to come back.’

     

    ‘Then I guess that’s when I’ll move out of the guest room and out of the house, because I don’t want to live here without you.  It’s difficult enough to be here now when I still hope that you’ll come back.’

     

    ‘Bette ‘

     

    ‘I just don’t want to talk about this anymore Tina.  I just don’t want to all right?’

     

    Bette got up and started clearing the table.

     

    ‘Let me help you.’

     

    ‘I’ll do it okay?  Why don’t you relax or see if there’s a movie or something on?’

     

    Tina knew Bette just wanted a minute to herself so she went to look for something to watch.  As she picked up the remote she noticed the cd case by the stereo.  ‘Oh Bette, why does this have to be so hard?’  She pushed play, turned around and as Etta James started to sing At Last she saw Bette standing in the doorway.  She started walking toward Bette, ‘this was the first song we ever danced to.’

     

    ‘The night you told me you had left Eric.’

     

    ‘I had to, I had to be with you.’  She took Bette by the hand and started to move to the center of the room.  ‘Dance with me?’

     

    ‘Tina.’

     

    ‘Please Bette.  Tomorrow is going to be so hard.  Can’t we just have tonight?’

     

    So they danced, uncomfortably at first, but then holding each other the way they did that first time.  When the song ended they stood there crying.  Finally Bette reached for the tissue, handing one to Tina and said, ‘aren’t we a pair?  That song said everything I couldn’t that night.’

     

    ‘We had more good times than bad.’

     

    ‘I hope you believe that and can hold on to that for a while longer.’

     

    ‘What I said earlier doesn’t mean I don’t want to come back.’

     

    ‘I know, you’ve forgiven me you just can’t trust me.  Believe me Tina I know you don’t trust me.  I just wish I could go back to that first dance and do this all over again.  I’d do it right this time.’

    1. I am just getting caught up with this story its so good. I can understand Tina’s struggle and I know she will overcome the anger when she realizes her love outweighs the anger. GREAT story

    2. Very good, you had me hoping all the way, that Tina would budge just a little. Bette is on her way and has accepted her mistakes and is taking on the responsibility to recetify them. I will be waiting for the next chapter. I hope that it won;t be too long. Thanks

    3. One says that they are sorry, making attempts to change, showing remores, showing how much love they have for the one they love. Is all one needs to show. Tina wow she has to deal with that angier or she will lose out. Catch the next chapter.

    4. I agree with abouttime. Bette has apologized enough and I’m sure it was difficult for her to just walk out but it had to be done. No more dancing around the guilt and the same issues. Its time to move forward and begin the healing process. Excellent chapter, asalways!

    5. Bette was ready to face some of her issues while Tina isn’t. I do agree that in order for it to work, both parties have to be ready. Time helps a lot though in that duration, it’ll be like hell.

    6. I found this a very emotionally powerful chapter and echo everyone’s comments regarding Bette’s willingness and Tina’s cowardice.

      Thanks for posting!
