I Will Not Let You Fall
”No, no, of course not! I was just thinking out loud,” Ayola quickly explained. ”I confess I was trying to figure you out for some time. Testing my gaydar.”
”Why not ask directly?”
”I’m modest.”
Bette laughed. ”You’re so not.”
”And I’m bisexual, by the way.”
”Cool. Shall we hook up?” Bette teased her friend’s straightforwardness.
Ayola smacked her lightly, blushing a bit. ”Go away.”
They fell silent for a long moment as Ayola watched the ocean and Bette listened to it.
”Was your love unrequited?”
A pause followed as Bette pondered her response. ”I would rather think that it wasn’t.”
”You have doubts?”
”Yeah,” Bette said quietly. ”She left me too often after constantly promising not to.”
”Why did she leave you?”
”I lived in dangerous circumstances. She was scared to be with me.”
”You don’t accept that,” Ayola claimed carefully, though there was a question in the air for Bette to answer.
”I do accept that,” the brunette said firmly. ”I understand completely, but she shouldn’t have promised me anything. She should have just left me once and for all.”
”She was probably so in love and so conflicted,” Ayola commented softly, mostly to herself. ”Do you hold a grudge against her for that?”
”No,” Bette shook her head. ”Not anymore.”
”But you’re disappointed in her,” Ayola stated in the same questioning manner.
”I’m disappointed in myself.”
Ayola looked at Bette’s face that was so calm and free of tension. After a silent moment she spoke again, ”Would you have preferred to stop loving her?”
Bette shrugged. ”I’m sure it will become more dull, to the point when I’d be feeling nothing, when I wouldn’t be thinking about that person anymore. Especially since my current life is completely opposite from what it was ten years ago. I’m having new experiences, I’m meeting new people, and I’m actually enjoying myself at this point of my life. All this will make the feelings bury deep, silence the mind, you know, make me forget. And yeah, I’d like that. What’s the point of loving someone who’s no more a part of your life?”
Ayola nodded in thoughtful agreement. ”You’re right. And I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.”
”Thanks to you, missy,” Bette grinned, peeking up at the young woman through the narrow gaps in her lethargic eyelids.

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 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.????

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…!!!
