I Will Not Let You Fall
”Did you tell her all that?”
”Of course I did.”
”Oh my God, I can’t believe you!” Ayola exclaimed in indignation. ”Remember we talked about it? You said that you didn’t hold any grudge against her for that!”
”Guess what? I do,” the brunette said evenly.
”This is mean, Bette. Really mean and unfair towards her. To expect that she would sacrifice her life for you, that she would sit still and waste ten years on you. This is the real world, not a fairytale, where everyone lives happily ever after.”
”Oh for Christ’s sake! I know that!” Bette snapped, looking angrily at her friend.
”Then what is your problem? Why are you pushing her away? From the fear of being hurt later? You know what? Letting that fear win over you is the worst thing that you will do. Everyone of us is scared, none of us wants to get hurt, but still we give it a chance, because happiness demands risk sometimes.”
Bette turned her gaze away from her friend.
Ayola leaned in and put her hand on Bette’s shoulder, giving it a squeeze. ”So go ahead and take that risk. Let yourself fall and you might see yourself go higher.”
***
The lull of the Pacific Ocean did nothing to calm Bette’s mind that day. The waves pounded the shore in a constant roar of activity. Staring at the open expanse of the ocean, the brunette noted that it was darker than normal, as if whatever was happening out there had drawn all of the shimmer from the water. Flocks of seagulls swooped, soared and circled overhead, emitting shrill cries. The evening sun perched at the rim of the ocean, the last rays of sunlight fading from above.
Bette wished she’d worn her sweater, as the cool breeze rolled off the water towards her. Pulling her knees to her chest, the brunette let out a soft sigh, concluding that it would take more than the lull of the ocean to soothe her today.
Out of the corner of her eye Bette detected a figure standing next to her that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Turning her head, Bette found Tina hovering over her a few feet away. Bette’s breath caught in her throat. The blonde was dressed in her office clothes, her suit jacket folded over her arm and her high heels dangling from her fingertips. Bette looked up and locked eyes with Tina. Grim determination was etched on the blonde’s face as her hazel eyes stared down at Bette intently.
”I’m not going anywhere, Bette Porter,” Tina said firmly. ”I’m going to fight for you.”

Hi, happy to see another great (and long) chapter from you!
I must say about a few things about this part.
First – what i don’t like – i don’t like Nicole. I don’t trust her and i think she don’t fired Bette only because she wants her. I can see ultimatum for Bette from her in the future.
Ok, next what i like – i like two conversation – Tina wit therapist and Bette with Ayola – i think both Tina and Bette can see things more clear after this talks.
And of course the best part of chapter – Tina’s decision fight for Bette.
I must say i very like your mature Tina and i think Bette need to stop be scared and do leap of faith with her.
So, thank you for this part and waiting for next!

Hi Valerie:
This was a wonderful chapter, as you mentioned, maturity is taken its way on our couple, and they have the world on their hands, it’s their decision, all or nothing.
I’m glad they are finding their way to each other, there will be obstacles, like that stupid bully parol officer, the talkative Brenda and Bette boss, but Tina and Bette together, can overcome any barrier.
I start getting sad because this is the beginning of the end of this story, hope you keep updating the other, and maybe we could enjoy more stories from you.
Thank you for the update, I’ll eagerly wait for the next chapter.

Hi Valerie,
Yes, Tina is going to fight for her Bette! About time, she has to show Bette that she has grown up and will not leave her when there are problems and there will be
That parole man is a utter asshole and what about Nicole, hmm. I hope she is trustworthy and isn’t going to use Bette’s past against her. For now i give her a chance.
Ayola has my respect, she is a very good friend. I love her.
Thank you for the update! It was worth the while!

Geez so much emotions going on… stubborn and lack of communication…. good think they both had someone to turn too… but then there is still Brenda… thank you it was great..
vivian says
thank you so much for this wonderful long chapter.
I don’t blame Tina for behaving the way she did, I mean Bette was living a dangerous life style that would have easily put Tina at risk. am glad both are finding their way back to each other. But what happens with Brenda?. post soon plea……..se
Zhenya says
Forgot to mention about Tina’s girfriend – seems it was not ease to Tina break up with her. First – because her parents like her, and second – Brenda obviously in love with her.
But i hope mature Tina know what she wants – and it’ll be Bette

Loved he update. Thanks
Dainty says
It was wonderful having the update. Hopefully they can come to terms with their feelings for each other and most of all, Bette needs to get over her fear of being let down by Tina in the future. Tina has laid down the gauntlet and Bette needs to meet her halfway and accept that Tina is truly still in love with her and wants a future with her. And Bette needs to forget the past and let it go, and run as fast as she can towards their future. Loved the update. Thanks for posting.

So happy to see an update. My heart broke for Tina when Bette pushed her away. The parole officer is a sadist. I hope Bette can keep her path until she no longer has to answer to him. He has treachery in his heart. Nicole will make a play for Bette to keep her secret. I think Bette needs to remove herself from this job. Tina has grown so much . She is willing to fight for Bette and chose her over family. The little girl is grown up. Please post again soon. Thank you.
