Previously:
Tears snaked their way down the unblemished caramel cheek, they left a trail behind as proof of their existence; but the deeper trail hurt more.
She wiped them away angrily, hating them for not leaving more open wounds. Physical pain was a feat she could tackle.. but the emotion saturating her was a vast mountain next to the physical molehill.
How intensely did the wish burn inside her, like a burning beacon encased with ice. She could not re-enact the terror her mind had shown her. She simply couldn’t.
Chapter 2:
A doorbell sounded throughout the house. It rang out like a warning bell and Bette stood from her place at the table, hearing her cue. She ignored the burdening weight in her legs as her mind raced ahead. This was it; the end of their chapter. Bette sighed heavily, recapping on the past few years as she walked to the door behind which stood her life; her two girls.
It had torn her heart when Tina left to be with Henry, it had burned her to the core when they broke up over Candace. But all those times they were apart, Bette still felt them together. Through the battles and the hurt, their connection still remained; unspoken and often mistreated, but still there. This time, she knew, it was different. If Tina went today, she wouldn’t be coming back. Every step she took toward Kate was another away from Bette and the life they could have shared.
Bette crossed the room, clenched her eyes against the pain and opened the door. Tina stepped over the threshold of what was once their home.
“There was a time you didn’t need to ring the doorbell” Bette thought sadly. She feared her eyes would betray her moment of quiet nostalgia and she bent forward to receive the handle of Tina’s suitcase.
“Thanks” Tina said, struggling with an over-excited Angelica. Bette smiled and moved the luggage into the living room, fighting her body’s yearning to touch. She hoped Tina wouldn’t see through her pseudo-pleasantries. An age ago, the pair could decipher the other’s thoughts and feelings from a single glance. Those days were gone. Bette felt that bond break the minute she realised she could hide Candace from Tina.

Excrutiating yet again
So very sad and emotional, I loved it…pps
I am not sure of what to make of the storyline its just so different which is good by the way :-)So keep them coming and I will tell you soon how I feel
Dramatic and heart-breaking. Thanks for posting!
Heartbreaking but really well written, loved it :)
I’m with chelseagal. I’ll keep reading but I don’t accept this Candace guilty as a reason to run after Tina if Tina hasn’t shown any interest in getting back with Bette.
Angel, I’m pretty much a silent reader, but I have read all your stories and I must say I don’t know how you keep up with them all at the level you do….great job! Having said that…I’m willing to beg for you to re-think not continuing Cries of the Mass. You really can’t leave us hanging with that one. I’m sure you can come up with something to wrap it up if you wanted to and I don’t mean Bette dying. Please give us just another chapter. As for this one….keep it coming. I’m hooked on this one too!! :)
Babe…You just can´t stop right there…C´mon!… :) Thanks! PPS!
I loved it AD!!!!! Go Bette, you go after that which you love, and you do it with a passion and drive as if your life was depending on it. If not….then you risk Tina finding love elsewhere! This is damn good stuff girl. I can relate to your feelings about school. I anticipate a bigger work load for sure, coupled with some travel out of state for my new job. In any event, you just do what you can, and remember, writing is a pleasure, and if it becomes a task or work, it loses such a big chunk of purpose. (( hugs )) Post when you can hun.
I hope that Tina can see in Bette’s eyes the torment of her leaving to find Kate. The pain that is running through Bette is unbearable. Tina has got to see that.
That was sad!
AD this a great chapter once again. One can feel Bette’s pain and its very deep, can’t wait for the next!!!
WOW!! That was sad, painful and heartbreaking. You really know how to write their emotions. You’re starting college in Sept.? You’re only 15! 15 year olds in the U.S. are in their 2nd year of high school. PPS!!
