    I Will Not Let You Fall

    ”…Then, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever…”

    Bette resented God with her entire being. She wanted to know why he had taken Marcus so soon, why him when he could’ve had her instead. She had loved the man long and well, from the first moment she’d seen him, over five years ago. She had loved him so much, yet had failed to show it to him properly. He had been her brother, her dearest friend, her guardian angel. A warrior with a noble soul and a tender heart. She had engaged him into this hell. She was to blame for his death. Marcus hadn’t deserved to die, she had.

    Bette did her utmost to hold back bitter tears. She was not going to cry now. It was not the time to grieve. Not yet. Numb and wet with rain, Bette dropped her gaze from the coffin. Someone took a gentle hold of her elbow and held an umbrella over her head. She didn’t care. The rain could engulf her for all she cared.

    As the Reverend spoke his final prayer, Marcus’s body was lowered into the ground. One by one the mourners began tossing dirt into the grave. Bette watched Arnodelo at that moment. He said something to his guard and pretended to be suddenly receiving a phone call. He then turned to leave while the guard tossed a handful of dirt into the grave for him. Through the misty veil of rain Bette followed Arnodelo’s retreating back with a steady intent look.

    The burial was coming to a close, people gradually receded to walk back toward their cars. Bette inched closer to the hole and stared down at the coffin that had been already placed to the very bottom. Unfastening her necklace, she dropped it into the grave. The silver cross seemed to glow with an ethereal light as it lay lifelessly atop the ebony casket. It was the last thing, the only thing Bette could give to her friend to thwart the darkness that had tormented them both for years. Marcus needed it now, he was entitled to this freedom. Casting one last look over the cemetery, Bette went to the gateway.

    1. Hi Valerie:

      This is sad as you said, but it’s also a great story, Marcus has been murdered and his killers are dead, apparently, it was Arnodelo who planned his death and he may go after Bette and Shane.

      What bothers me is that one of the killers said (before dying) that they had the protection of the cops, which for me it could mean that Arnodelo wants to show that Bette alone with her gang is the criminal head behind the drug trafficking, because, in that way, he will have a break from the police persecution, while Bette and the gang are murdered making appeared as it was a fight among gangsters.

      Now, honestly, I think we have reached the point in which Bette and Shane have to make a decision, and I trust you, Valerie, that you will lead us, sooner or later, in this wonderful, and amazing rollercoaster-story to a happy end.

      Thank you so much for this excellent and heartbreaking story, I will be waiting impatiently for the next chapter.

    2. Hey Valerie,

      I am excited for the update, but i will read it in a few days. I need some happy and sweet and not sad and dark.

      I truly enjoy your story and will follow it to the hopefully happy end.

    3. Hey Valerie, i just read the chapter and boy you were right about warning us it was a sad one.

      Especially the end where Tina took Bette in her arms and she finally broke down.

      I still trust and hope that you stick to the title and that you will not let us and Bette fall.

      It will be interesting to read how you are going to let Bette leave this mess and hopefully start a new life with Tina (and Shane) in Auckland. But that is my wish, maybe you have another end for this incredible story.

      Thank you so much for for this incredible story!

    4. I read the post 5 days ago and I’ve been contemplating about it since then. I definitely simpathize this Bette Porter, but I can’t decide for myself wether this is becouse it is still our Bette even if in a different incarnation, or because the circumstances of her life are so that we can’t help feeling pity for this woman. So what do you think, would we still like the main character if it were not Bette Porter ?
