    I Will Not Let You Fall

    ”Do you have somewhere to stay?” Ayola broke the silence when they stopped at a red light.

    With her gaze still turned away from the woman, Bette closed her eyes once she heard the question. For a moment she pondered if she were to tell the truth, what would the aftermath be, and if she were to lie, what was the point?

    ”Bette?”

    Finally the brunette looked at Ayola. ”I don’t think so,” she decided to say and shrugged.

    ”Oh,” Ayola emitted and brought the car into gear when the light turned green. ”Well, you can stay at my place if you want until you find a place to live,” she offered with a mirroring shrug. ”How long do you plan to stay in LA?”

    ”I have no idea, to be honest,” Bette replied after recollecting from a slight shock that had been caused by Ayola’s offer.

    Ayola glanced over at her a few times, regarding her carefully. ”You seem like you don’t even want to be in LA.”

    ”Well…” Bette let out with a soft sigh. ”It’s complicated.”

    Ayola chuckled and shook her head. ”You’re full of riddles, aren’t ya? I hope you’ll be kind enough to decipher them to me over a couple of beers when we come to my place.”

    Bette pursed her lips and remained silent right until their arrival at Ayola’s house.

    ”Here we go,” Ayola said, pulling the key out of the ignition before exitting the car.

    Getting out of the car as well, Bette looked around curiously. The neighbourhood looked unfamiliar to her, she didn’t remember ever driving through this area. Or maybe she hadn’t recognized the place due to the changes that might have happened over the years.

    ”Hey, Bette? Could you help me with the bags please?” Ayola’s voice called out from behind the open trunk lid.

    ”My mom always packs so much food, I don’t know what I’m gonna do with her,” chuckling, Ayola pulled some of the stuffed bags from the trunk as Bette came up to her.

    Together they carried the bags through the tall wooden gate. Observing the one-storeyed house, Bette noted that it was quite modest looking from the outside, but sleek and groovy, kind of a vintage cottage. The outdoor space was minimal, but there was a front yard with enough room for chairs, loveseats and low patio tables. The inside was as cozy and friendly as the outside. The interior was warm, colourful and full of charm, even though dominated mostly by wood and brick. Right away Bette thought back to her apartment where she had lived before prison and which she still missed dearly.

    1. Thanks for another update!

      Devastating chapter. You’re very surprised me – i didn’t see this coming, that Bette spent 10 years in prison. Most sad part of this that everyone gave up on her – even Tina. Althought we might be expected it from this Tina, who trully never loved Bette.
      So, what future waiting for Bette?
      What Tina did for 10 years – was a perfect parents girl, college, dating with right peoples, good job?
      And when B&T will meet again (i guess through Ayola because she’s in TV business) what meeting will bring them?

    2. Hi Valerie:

      Thank you for this amazing chapter. Bette is coming back from prison, clean and ready to have a new life.

      All her suffering, the hitting, the claustrophobia, the scorn, all of that, have mature her soul, tempered her mood, her impatience, possessiveness and arrogance and has given her the strength for a new beginning. Fortunately, she still has hopes.

      I guess the picture she is seeing now has a lot of memories. She loved Tina and Tina loved her.

      Bette made too many mistakes, she was ‘set up’ for a criminal life and she kept in the game, in some way to protect Tina, but Tina wasn’t even aware at the beginning about Bette’s criminal activities, and it was very hard for her when she knew about Bette’s activities.

      Tina is not there; Bette threw her out from the prison on her first visit, maybe for good maybe for bad. I’m wondering, what the poor girl did with her life, but you will tell us soon in your updates.

      I hope they both find each other and reconnect again, but more mature, and in a more serious relationship.

      Thanks again Valerie for this wonderful chapter and hope…, really hope you will post soon.

    3. Poor Bette but I guess her conviction was the only way for her to get some kind of life back. Also I’m not so sure Tina ever stopped loving her and just gave up because of Bettes wish for her to never come visiting her and forget about her. Also 10 years is a long time so not really fair on Tina to expect her to just put her life on hold for a person who doesn’t want anything to do with her.

      I guess they’ll meet again through Ayola and hopefully get a happy ending, I’m such a romantic and it’s Tibette after all:)

    4. Hi Valerie,

      Very interesting chapter!

      After 10 years in prison, Bette can finally start her life over. It is so sad that she has no one to turn to. The only one who cared was Mrs. Caroll and i have a suspicion she passed away and that that the reason is she didn’t visit anymore.

      She is lucky she met Ayola, love that girl already and i think like the others that she is the one who brings Bette and Tina in touch again.

      I would like to know how Tina’s life went, what she did, does for work, did she go through life like the sweet girl her father wanted. Did or does she still think about Bette.

      I am looking forward to the next chapter!

    5. Wow! I have loved this story from the very beginning and so happy to see you are back Valerie!
      This was an amazing new chapter and am looking forward to the next! Thank you!

    6. Thanks for the post Valerie. Really enjoy this story and its my favorite on here. Very good detailed writing. I hope for a happy ending but I dont want this story to end anytime soon. So many possibilities. PPS

    7. Great glad she got out early.. And I worryher neighbor has past away or very sick..i hope Tina kept the apartment even if it did remind her of happier times. She may have moved on but I’m sure her heart still belongs to the same person all these years…thank you great chapter..

    8. I don’t generally review but this time I’d like to do it .

      I started to read your fic two days ago and I wasn’t able to let it go until now, It’s amazing

      You began your story in 2014 and in my opinion your writing has improved over time, it’s more mature. (I hope you don’t mind me saying this !)

      Anyway, I hope to read a new chapter real quick.
