Her fingers absently traced Marcus’s name, and she thought how weathered the delicate carving had become against the gray granite tombstone.
”I just got out of prison recently. When my parole ends in three years, I’m going to leave the country, Mac. I’m going to see Melissa, and Chad. I bet he’s all grown up now,” Bette said with a bittersweet smile, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. ”I’m going to tell him how proud you are of him.”
She patted the tombstone and rose to her feet. ”You rest well, my friend. I’ll be back soon.”
Putting her cap on, Bette left the cemetery to catch a bus.

”Bette?” Ayola called.
”Mm?” came the brunette’s lazy response.
Ayola turned her head to look at her friend, who was lying next to her on the sand with her eyes closed. They were spending their days off, which had happened to be coincident, relaxing on the beach together.
”You said you’ve been in love. Are you still?”
Ayola watched as Bette’s brows furrowed slightly while her eyes remained shut.
”I don’t know,” the brunette replied after a moment of contemplation. ”It was a very long time ago.”
”Do you think of that person often?”
”Yes.”
”Don’t you feel something when you think about that person?”
”In the past, when I would think about that person, my heart would beat faster, it was even painful at times,” Bette said, pausing for emphasis, ”but now the heartbeat stays the same. The feelings have become faint.”
”So, feelings vanish with time then? Love fades away? Do you think true love ever fades away?”
”I think true love never fades away. If it does, then it wasn’t true love. True love stays forever. But after years and years of not being in contact with the person you love can dull the feelings.”
”See?” Ayola smiled. ”You just answered my question. You’re still in love.”
Bette let out a soft sigh. ”I guess.”
”How long were you together?”
”A year maybe, but she left me all the time throughout our relationship, so… I think half a year in total.”
Ayola pursed her lips and smiled. ”I knew you were gay. I just knew it.”
Bette opened her eyes and stared at her friend for several seconds before closing them back. ”Is that a problem for you?”

Hi Valerie,
Just had a break when i saw that you posted a new update.
It is fantastic that Bette is finding her way back in life and has such a wonderfull friend in Ayola.
So they finally met again, wonder what Tina has to tell Bette. You are such a naughty girl to not disclose it in this chapter.
Why do i have a feeling that Tina moved on with Helena?! That would be the ultimal betrayal that she could inflict on Bette.
Can i pursue you to answer that question via a pm to me?! I would go crazy till you update again, so please, please tell me🙏
Thanks for the update!
Hi! Thanks, you wrote are really great chapter!
So, they met eventually, and i must say you described this meeting perfect. I believe we’ll know what Tina want to say Bette.
P. S. I hope in Tina’s bed not Helena
Hi Valerie:
What a wonderful surprise, (not only for us but for Bette and Tina too), an excellent story, as Bibi I want to know what is coming; but I’ll wait, I know you’ll never let us fall in TIBETTE’s matter.????
I think it’s going to be hard, but they have to find their way back to each other, that type of love can’t be downgraded to friendship, it’s a whole thing or its nothing, I don’t think they have more choices.❤
Valerie, I appeal to your kindness, PLEASE UPDATE SOON !!!????
Thanks for the wonderful chapter.????
P
You have to update this real soon! Bette and Tina meet again!
Awesome update! Can’t wait to see how things go from here. I truly hope Tina didn’t move on with Helena.
Please don’t let that be Helena in Tina’s bed. Great update! Waiting for the next chapter!
I can’t wait for the next chapter. Please don’t delay!!
Thanks for the Update!!!
this is my fav fanfiction so far..
it breaks my heart seeing how hard for Bette to get her life back..so much that she has lost..
couldn’t imagine if ayola wasn’t there to help her.
but i hope they stay their relationship as friend..cos i’m still hoping somehow, somewhere Bette and Tina could find their way back together..and this time Tina could proof her love to Bette by staying by her side as her promised.
it’s suprised me that Tina has moved on with her life and has lived together with someone else…
i really thought after Tina read Bette’s handwriting in her apartment, Tina would tried with all her power to proof her love to Bette by keeping her promise to stay by waiting for Bette…
now that Tina and Bette has met again, please..please…please…. don’t let us waiting too long..
couldn’t wait to read for the next Chapter..
great Job Valerie…!!!
Please don’t have Helena the girlfriend. Loved the update. Thanks
