”Ready?”
Tina blinked a few times, then nodded.
”No, you’re not. You look like a dog that stole bacon from the table. Relax, alright? They don’t like nervous visitors there.”
”I’m ready,” Tina said, eyeing the horrendous barbed wire-topped metal fences that surrounded the prison.
Alice shook her head, smirking at her friend. ”My goodness, TK, you’re such a little chicken. Trust me, everything is gonna be fine. It’s a prison, not a cemetery with evil spirits.”
Tina smacked Alice with her small purse. ”Stop,” she grumbled with a smile.
”Now go toward love and never look back,” Alice winked at her.
Tina opened the door and with a decisive sigh got out of the car. A cool breath of wind stroked her face and fluttered her hair, so she buttoned up her jacket and began walking over to the prison entrance. There were two parallel lines at the entrance and Tina suddenly got the impression that everyone was staring at her as if she didn’t belong there. As she made her way to the counter, the correctional officers looked her up and down, causing her to feel more nervous than she already was.
When reached the counter, in a very timid voice Tina said that she was there to visit an inmate by the name of Elizabeth Porter. When she showed her ID, Tina was told that it would take some time. She took a seat on a cold metal bench and waited for her name to be called out. Swallowing, Tina sat perfectly still while observing people around her.
”Are you new here?” a girl about five years of age approached her out of nowhere. ”I didn’t see you before.”
Tina stared at her perplexedly. She gazed around to see if the girl’s parents were nearby. No one seemed to look like the girl’s parents, so Tina turned back to the child and smiled. ”Yes, I’m here for the first time.”
”Are you here to see your mommy too?” the girl wondered, a look of sincere interest on her youthful face.
”No, I’m here to see a friend.”
”My mommy says when she comes home I can sleep with her again.”
Tina frowned a bit.
”I don’t want to sleep in my room anymore. It’s scary,” the girl continued.

Welcome back!
I must say – i don’t like your Tina in this story – she’s too weak, too dependent from another’s opinions. Yes, she’s young, but still. And Bette is right – Tina left her too often to believe in her love. So T has a lot a work to do, if she wants to fix it.
And you will bring back B from jail earlier than 19 years, right?
I like that you are frequently updating my favorite story on here. I feel so sorry for Bette,19 years behind bars?? Anxious to see where this story goes!!
Hi Valerie:
Amazing update; I’m very sorry for Bette, I understand her bitterness, and I think she still loves Tina, and probably she loves her so much that she would like for Tina to be happy, a happiness she doubts it would be with her, so she is pushing Tina away; she also feels resentment because of Tina’s behavior when she left her a few months ago, and Bette can’t understand that Tina’s situation with her parents made her take some distance with Bette’s trial.
But I think Bette knows very well she lied to Tina about her criminal activities and she has some responsibility in their separation.
Now, everything depends on Tina’s next step, would she be willing to wait for Bette? Will Bette recover some hopes about her future?
The answers are in your quill Valerie, but one thing I know is that Bette is empty and she needs Tina to get hopes in her future, and Tina needs Bette to survive.
Thank you for this great chapter, but now you leave us heartbroken, and with lots of questions.
Please, Valerie, post soon (seriously), I’ll be anxiously waiting.

This is heartbreaking Valerie!
Nineteen years in prison, i feel so sad for Bette. Is she gonna survive it, she is broken, her spirit died, especially after Tina left her more than once and after Marcus died.
Tina is young and i really believe she loves Bette, but she listen to much to other people and runs away when she promised Bette that she would stay with her.
I feel so sad for both of them, my heart is breaking. Is this really goodbye? Nineteen years is a long time and i hope there is a way for Bette to get out sooner, but i do understand that a relationship is very hard to remain and that Bette doesn’t want Tina to put a hold on her life waiting for her and why she said goodbye.
Valerie, i truly enjoy this story and while my heart is breaking, i still believe that you will give us a happy ending. Your story title,” I will not let you fall” give me the hope that you will bring them back together.
One request, i hate Helena, please don’t let her and Tina get romantically involved.
I truly love this story and anxiously await each update. Nineteen years….of course she did plead guilty, so it’s not surprising the number of years. I can’t say that I like this Tina. I need her borrow someone’s backbone if she can’t find her own.
There has to be a silver lining in this and the two of them will be back together and in love. I’m sure Bette is purposefully pushing Tina away.
Post soon!
Thanks for this great post! Hope we won’t have to wait for 19 years :) Can’t find in my heart any hatred for Bette-the-criminal and can’t find any sympathy there for Tina-the-good-girl. What a paradox! You’ve created a very intense and charismatic image of Bette.
Well geez that was up lifting…Not!…that is some freaking sad shit there…
