    I Will Not Let You Fall

    Bette looked toward the entrance door, abruptly getting the sense that Mrs. Caroll would be coming inside any second. But the longer she stared at the door the creepier the feeling in her stomach become, because the door remained closed.

    As hour after hour passed, Bette’s hopes grew fainter and fainter. She even began assuming that maybe Mrs. Caroll had moved out. Rising to her feet, Bette walked up to the reception desk. The elderly woman behind the desk looked up to her right away.

    ”Can I help you, dear?” the woman asked politely.

    ”Uh, I hope so,” Bette answered with hesitation as she leaned over the desk. ”I’m waiting for someone. Her name is Margaret Caroll, her apartment number is 372. I haven’t seen her a great while and I’m wondering if she’s moved out.”

    ”Sorry, dear, but I can’t spread this kind of information. Is there no way to contact her?”

    Bette shook her head.

    The woman shrugged her shoulders helplessly and shook her head in return.

    Bette pushed herself off the desk and glanced around, thinking that she could come tomorrow and try Mrs. Caroll’s door again. But she really needed to see her today. She needed to know everything was alright.

    An idea popped into her head. It might’ve seemed like a crooked idea, the sort of thing she’d have done back in her twenties, but Bette thought it was worth trying her luck nevertheless.

    She turned back to the receptionist. ”Ma’am? I apologize for my intrusiveness, but I really need your help. I’ve just returned from a long-term combat deployment and this woman… She’s my mother and I haven’t heard from her for a long time. I tried to call her, but she’s not available. I have no one to turn to, except her. Please, can you at least tell me if she’s moved out or not?”

    The woman pursed her lips and stared at Bette almost with pity. ”Dear, I’m very sorry, but I can’t do this…”

    Bette kept looking at her forlornly. ”Please…”

    There was a change in the woman’s eyes. She sighed before she started searching in her computer. Bette bit her lower lip and waited patiently.

    ”Apartment number 372?”

    ”Yes.”

    ”Margaret who?”

    ”Caroll.”

    The receptionist opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it instantly as she blinked at her computer.

    1. Thank you for the another chapter!

      Ok, we still don’t know anything about how Tina lives with her life, does she she even remember Bette?
      And maybe, just maybe she even helped with Bette’s parole? Well, or maybe i just want to think that she did.
      And i like Bette and Ayola friendship but i hope it will not create sexual or romantic feelings between them ( i still like only B&T relationship)

    2. Hi Valerie:

      Wonderful chapter; a little sad Ms. Caroll passed, she was like a mother for Bette.

      Who has Bette’s apartment now? It looks like someone who wants to keep it as Bette left it; maybe, maybe not.

      I would like to know about Tina’s life, but perhaps you will fill us on it when she reappears in Bette’s life.

      Very nice Bette’s new friend, Ayola, very compassionate; I hope they remain to be friends,

      Thank you very much for this chapter, this story is excellent, I’ll be waiting eagerly for your update (and for the other story too).

      P

    3. Great chapter! Sad that Mrs. Caroll has passed away. Ayola is very nice and what Bette needs to get reacquainted with the outside world. Hopefully, they will remain friends. However, I want Tina to resurface and she and Bette get reintroduced and get to know each other again. Great update!

    4. Hi Valerie,
      Can only say ‘Ditto’ to my fellow reader’s Comments.
      Great Update.
      Look forward to another as soon as possible please.
      Need Tina back in the Story and in a positive ‘Tibbette’ way please!
      Thanks again

    5. Hi Valerie,

      Great chapter as always!

      I love that Bette found a great friend in Ayola, that is so important when you are all alone and trying to build a new life. Like i already thought Mrs. Caroll passed away, that is so sad. I hope Ayola will stay a wonderfull friend for Bette and i think she is the link to Tina.

      I had to laugh that you named the parole officer Franklin Philips ????

      Just like proteonomics, i am wondering about Bette’s old apartment,

      I hope you can update soon and that your computer saves your chapter the next time.

    6. Geez.. it’s just all so sad…i had a feeling her friend and mother had past but the rest is sad as well. She needs love and a since of belonging, fitting in to her own life. Her new friend is helping with that but like others have said friend is were it needs to stay…and I do hope Tina has kept an eye on her all along from afar.fingers crossed thank you.
