    I Will Not Let You Fall

    ”Bette?”

    Turning to the sound of Ayola’s voice, Bette looked at the woman questioningly.

    ”Did you hear what I said?”

    Bette paused and then gave her a sheepish smile and a shrug. ”Sorry.”

    ”I said you seem far away. You’ve become silent. Is something wrong?” the woman asked gently.

    For a moment Bette stood still without answering as she blinked at Ayola, who blinked at her in return, expecting. Swallowing, Bette lowered the bags onto the floor carefully, slowly, taking her time. She then straightened out and looked at Ayola again.

    Clearing her throat, she spoke, ”Thank you a lot for giving me a lift and for being a great company. But I’m afraid I’ll have to turn down your offer. You’re too generous and I feel bad taking advantage of it.”

    Ayola stepped a little closer to Bette. ”What do you mean taking advantage? Come on, it’s nothing. Really. It can be lonely at times and I could use a roommate,” Ayola chuckled good-heartedly.

    Bette smiled at her, a faint smile, but still appeared rather sad. ”Ayola, you seem to be such a good person, so I want to be honest with you, maybe then you’ll change you mind about having me as a roommate.”

    A mild frown creased Ayola’s brow as the woman watched Bette with a touch of concern to her gaze.

    ”I had just been released from prison when you picked me up on the highway. I’m not any traveller. Sorry for lying to you, I didn’t think you’d offer staying at your place,” Bette said, her tone sincere and apologetic. ”So, you see. I’m on probation and stuff like that. You don’t need this dead weight.”

    The concerned look in Ayola’s eyes gradually turned to one of curiosity bordering on suspicion. The woman didn’t seem frightened at all or even taken aback which would have been totally appropriate after being given such a confession. Not moving, Ayola studied Bette as though she was a puzzle, for the solving of which no prize was offered.

    ”Thank you again,” Bette said quietly. ”I’ll see myself out.”

    Walking out the front door, Bette headed toward the gate and out onto the street. She grabbed her rucksack from the backseat of Ayola’s car and was ready to walk down the street when she heard her name. She turned around and saw Ayola approaching her with an unreadable expression on her face.

    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.
