Her older brother Kurt, in a bout of bad taste and insensitivity, had joked about spreading Eric’s ashes on top of the MVP Towers when the issue of cremation was brought up – thereby giving his brother-in-law another opportunity to jump and soar through the skies as he did before he died. This time, he said in between sips of scotch and puffs of Marlboro reds, he won’t die from the fall. He chuckled, bellylaughed and slapped his knees in mirth – but he was the only one who found the joke funny; even his father, who’d normally laugh at the corniest lines and silliest gags, had to slap him behind the head to knock some sense and tact into his drunken mind. He had apologized to his crying baby sister after that, but the damage was done. And Jill, in moments of retrospect, had to admit that her brother’s misguided attempt at humor was one of the things that brought her deeper into depression.
Eric was dead.
He wasn’t taken from her.
He left her.
And that is what stung the most. He showed no warnings, there were no signs.
There was no for richer or poorer.. nor sickness and health.. there was only death. And yes, it did them ‘part.
He promised her forever; but how could she have known that to him, forever was only till the second he flung himself over the ledge and transcended from this life to the next? In one of her old theology classes, an old nun once taught her that a suicidal soul had only two destinations: limbo or hell. Void or eternal damnation. Heaven was out of reach; heaven was impossible to attain. Why? Cause according to Sister Mary Joseph, suicide was a grave act against a creation of God, it was killing, it was a mortal sin. She couldn’t bare the thought of her husband in hell, so with a heavy heart, she believed that he was in limbo instead. Lesser of two evils, she told herself. Jill had always prided herself as a good girl. She lived right, did nothing to purposely hurt those around her. She always believed that her soul was heaven-bound. And so it pained her to think, that even in death, they wouldn’t be together. Their living days on Earth were the only times they got to spend with each other, and those years, no matter how happy, were fleeting. Three years of courtship, four years of marriage. Was that sufficient? Would it suffice? She always believed that the answer was no.

Perfect timing, that classes has been suspended in my part of town, therefore got time to read and re-read your posts without distractions. Hope Jill will not interpret Bette bringing white lillies into something its totally not. Or will she?
hmmmmmmm… did eric bring jill white lillies… and she is thinking its ok for her to go after bette.. I THINK NOT… one more week… come on home tina… remember my heart… pps
I’m a bit scared of your next post there was a “:(” next to it. That can’t be a good thing, or is it? Thanks for the post! I love them!
okay..that was quite the forboding post…you have me worried…really! i know you like the drama,but “..” you know…?!
Ok, bring Tina on home to Bette! PPS
That’s not a good sign. Please let the white lilies mean that he wants her to not pursue Bette. OMG, Tina come home! Thanks alch.
Had to comment twice. I think Bette had a dream about standing in a field of white lilies covered in blood. If I am remembering correctly, then this is definitely not a good sign. Still loving alch.
Poor Jill. I hope she can start letting go, without misreading Bette’s offering of white lilies. What did Alice know about Eric? When’s that going to come to light? Or maybe it shouldn’t. And your preview: Heartless? *blinks* Should I be worried, or… Nahhh. I’m just gonna trust you, Alch. Thanks for the “half” chapter. :)
What an amazing ride this is!! I told you before … you’re writing is a book I can’t put down… one i would read in a day!! I’m a little worried too about “heartless”….. :)
Oh, is this a good sign or a bad sign? It is a good sign in that Jill has been given the go ahead to move forward, but it could be a bad sign if Bette is that person that Jill wants.
That doesn’t sounded right to me:(Come on Jill,the lilies didn’t mean anything,really.And another week to go…hopefully Tina will be back soon,even though I don’t know if anything could be changed if Jill made up her mind:(So much drama,and I can’t stop reading it.PPS
oh nooooooo… Why is the clue ‘heartless’? :( It’s going to be bitter sweet huh? Though knowing this is essentially a Tibette story, I can’t help but to feel down about the incoming temporary(i hope) separation- even after the week :O
woooo that was a longgg chapter,not that im complaining, it was brilliant.i hope that Jill doesn’t misinterpret the flowers as a sign that she should be with Bette. even though she said she would never take Bette away from anyone,she might change her mind because of the “sign” from Eric. im gonna join the other devote Tibette fans and say “Bring Tina home” pretty please. anyway thanks for the post and PPS
I love your long chapters. They’re always such a good read. Thanks a lot for the updates!
OMG! Alchy…you ended with a :(. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cling to your inner-Tibetteness that happy is in the future. You wrote the tender moment between Eric and Jill. Well done! Of course…you set us up for that white lily moment. UGG!!!! Please, Jill go away soon…PPS! Love ya Alchy…you so Rock!!!!!!
I am a silent reader….most of the time. But what can I say! Thank you for this story……I love the Bette that you created…..she is different. PPS
That was great and now bring back B&T home and be together again. Please post more, thanks!
You know, you make it difficult for me to leave my place for some days. Even if it is to bring a little sanity in my brain. It’ s the second time that I wasn’ t home and when I’ m back I read two chapters like these two. Hmp… (frustrated sigh)! I want them back together. I can’ t take it any longer. Please… please bring them back together! It hurts too much… Please? Kisses.
