Oh geez. Porter’s totally going to mess this up. I can just feel it.
I mean, I feel bad for Jeri, but she should know that this isn’t something for a stranger. That’s why I’m here – we’re like sisters. This is not a time for strangers.
“What’s going on, sweetie?” Porter asked again.
Sweetie? She’s just met Jeri; doesn’t know her from anyone. And she’s using these little pet names. That’s bordering on insulting, given the situation.
Sure, she’s there being all mom-like. If mom, my mom, were here, she could be of use. But Porter?
“She’s fine.” She will be fine, anyway, once we figure things out. C’mon, get out of here.
Porter shoots me a look. “We’ll talk later about you not answering my calls.”
Uh, yeah, Porter, can’t you see I was busy? Did you expect me to just leave her somewhere when she’s like this? But part of me knows that this was a reportable-to-mom kind of offense. I suppose she didn’t do that, since I would have had a billion messages from mom by now if she had. Still, it was certainly extenuating circumstances.
“Jeri, talk to me, maybe I can help.”
More cloying from Porter.
But Jeri, I mean, I really feel for her. It’s not wonder she’s so upset, and even looks to Porter as a source of help.
Everything considered, I wasn’t too surprised when Jeri said, “no one can help me.” Then she went into more crying and stuff.
Throughout it all she kept clinging to Porter. What’s with that?
But Porter just let her, which kind of surprised me. She seems like a woman who doesn’t like her clothes rumpled, and certainly not cried upon, but she didn’t say anything about it.
“Tell me, Jeri, what’s so bad.”
Okay, maybe I don’t have to sit her and watch her, but I don’t trust her with my friend.
“My family’s going to kick me out,” Jeri finally managed to get out.
Maybe Jeri’s folks wouldn’t kick her out, but you never know. We were trying to figure out alternative plans, just in case. Short term, of course, she stays here.

I like the cynical point of view from Jess regarding Bette; while we know Bette is finally being the adult/parent she now knows she want to be!
Bon Bons, more bon bons for Pseud!
Thanks and happy 4th!
Wonderful update. It is really going to be hard for Bette to get through to Jess. But that’s how it should be.
i’m glad bette told jess she wasn’ going… that girl needs to learn some respect… great ch.. please continue
That tunnel seems to be getting longer, the light is becoming dim. But I have faith. Still loving the story. Take your time with Jess, though she does kind of grate on me, like nails on a chalkboard.
Good chapter, Jess learning a thing or two about a certain Bette Porter. I’m just wondering if Jess will warm up to Bette before Tina gets back.
Okay, so Jess and Bette both have some work to do to understand each other. I think I’m going to have to go back to the beginning and figure out exactly when Jess got so snarky with Bette. She did think she was cool at one point, I know that…
loved it – More rocking from Porter. I suppose those five minutes she spent with me when I was a baby are coming in handy. lmao. great story – and even though jess has some serious attitude issues, she’s great.
Porter’s dabbing at tears. Maybe she does have feelings, or else she’s doing a really good job of faking it. LMFAO Jess is something else. Ok I think it’s going to get good So P when are we going to get some insight of what Tina is think while away, and I wonder if she has heard from alice about the stunt Jess pulled at the restruant.
OH it would be fucking funny if Bette sat Jess down and they had the sex talk, I would die.
Now she looked at me and I felt, I don’t know, kind of uncomfortable, although I’m really not sure why.
Jess it’s called cryptanite, it’s in Bette’s back packet LOL

Great chapter. Love Bette. Can’t wait for more.
Looks like Jess’ world has just been thrown slightly off its axis. A fissure even may have opened in her heart…she may not see it as that right now, but this could be just the seague that Bette needed to make Jess understand what she once was and currently is, all about. Or, it could blow up in her face. It’s hard to tell with Jess.
Jess is still under the misguided impression that Bette is out to ‘steal’ her mother away from her. She is acting more like a child that has been the center of attention and then suddenly has a new sibling. I hope that someone, whether it is Tina, Alice or Bette that gets her to understand that it’s not a competition and that Bette is not trying to take Tina away. Jess has abandonment issues, clearly. Maybe she is afraid that Tina will abandon her the same way Bette did?
Will also be interesting to see just how much of what transpires between Bette and Jess is shared with Tina. I did like seeing the softer side of Bette, it was nice for Jess to see that too.
Excellent chapter! Jess’ dialogue was once again hysterical and insightful. I’m curious to know if Jess will become jealous of the time/energy that Bette is exerting towards Jeri.
Can’t wait for the next chapter.
“this was a reportable-to-mom kind of offense…” Nice!
Bette is cool!
pseud – excellent. and i love being first. i love this storyline. so many ways to go with it. hopefully while jess is at auntie alices she’ll get somemore input about bette. shes a smart girl and she should be able to figure out alot of this herself. keep it up girl.
Loved it as always!! Can’t wait to see what’s next! ;)
Great story Pseud. Love that Jess is seeing this side of Bette. Maybe she will open up to Bette.
Always love your posts. Thanks for having Bette come through and be an adult and handle something important in front of Jess. also love the way you worked in explaining herself to Jess. Keep writing this is very fun and a really nice take on the characters in a future setting.
“More rocking from Porter. I suppose those five minutes she spent with me when I was a baby are coming in handy”…lol..lol..that girl is something else..lol..Bette is now or never..amazing chapter P..thanks :-)
Hey the last 3 posts were great. Jess must be the most sarcastic teenage cynic in the world. Damn she refuse to allow herself to see Porter as she trully is. Didn’t she like her in NY, well at least now she sees a softer side of Porter — maybe this side of Porter will remain intact when she talks to Jess AND reprimands her for cutting out on the game. This talk should be a real opportunity for Bette to show that she is interesting in being a parent and understanding of Jess’s POV. Also the talk could give Jess a chance to see that Bette cares about her and has her best interests at her — not just Tina’s.
I’m kind of conflicted about whether Tina should be told — this may be a good chance to show that Bette is capable of being a caring, a trusting parent as well as friend to Jess. But then again I’m not a parent, maybe Tina would really want to know/ should know about these recent revelations.
