That did not just happen. Please tell me that this is just a bad dream. I’ll wake up soon.. I’ll snap out of this nightmare.. I’ll..
“Fuck you and fuck Kate Arden!”
Her voice cuts through the night and slices right through my skull, jarring me back to my harsh reality. She sounded so sad. Angry and bitter, yes. But infinitely sad and broken that it drove another stake to my chest. To the heart. Straight to the ticker. I look weakly at her as she stumbles head first into a lamp post and immediately flinch when a loud clang fills the air. Her pained groans echoes around the park before she falls into a thick bush and vanishes inside the leaves with only her legs sticking out. The sight might have been comical; but I couldn’t get myself to laugh. I wanted to break down. I wanted to cry. For Bette. For me. For us.
I was an emotional wreck, Bette was a drunken mess.
Is this how low we’ve both sunk?
Bette looked and sounded so hurt, but she had done and said some pretty hurtful things too. So in my foolishness, I did what I had learned years ago when I was hurting – I took the punches, rolled with them and fought back. And though I regret it now, I chose to do it by giving back the necklace as if it meant nothing – just an insignificant piece of jewelry that held no place in my life, in my heart. Who was I kidding though? It meant everything to me. The barren feeling that was burning my neck is nothing compared to the emptiness I felt inside my chest. The absence of the silver heart – my constant companion for three years – was making me feel so hollow.. so meaningless.. so alone.
One thing I absolutely loved about Bette Porter was that she was terribly passionate about everything – her relationships, her studies, her work at the PGC, her life. I admired her for it, adored her for the intensity in which she lived and loved. But keep in mind that passion swings both ways. And though she could make your head spin from the overwhelming way she shows her love; Bette is also prone to unbelievable bouts of anger, especially during moments of intense jealousy. She had always been quick to jump into conclusions. Her temper would rear its ugly head with the slightest of provocations and unconfirmed suspicions. The asinine behavior she exhibited a while ago was classic Porter. It came natural to her, expected even; but that wasn’t the case with me. I prided myself as the levelheaded one, so what excuse did I have for acting the way I did? When did I become so cruel and spiteful? Does the fact that her allegations hurt me justify my despicable behavior? Maybe so, a small voice in my head replies – though, the painful nagging inside my chest says otherwise. I made a mistake. And I’m no better. I no longer have a high horse to perch myself on top of.

thanks a million for your generosity in sharing this ever surprising, moving, funny, happy sad sweet most excellente story – i should call it a novel :-) – with us! that’s our tina – stubborn and immortal weed. i love how you write her and write both characters with such balance. the next chapters will be so much fun :-) i liked your switchup, writing first person from the characters pov in this installment – it worked great. like chakakadin i’m always greedy for more – thank you for another superb ride, alch
Yay, an update; I had given up hope
wow that was heartbreaking to read,but such a brilliant post, however i loved the last page, really can’t wait for your next post with Tina being Bette’s maid (no pressure). also really loved what you did with writing it in 1st person, it really worked.Cheers for the post PPS
ahhh alch you’ve made my day!! love this story sooooo much! at last, there’s hope on the horizon and i’m glad it’s tina that’s forced this to happen, it always seems to be our bette that has to make the first move. Can’t wait to see how this is gonna play out though! oh and the “human bush” thing – proper made me chuckle…hell i think i even snorted at that!!
DAMN-you’re GOOD!! These epics are getting to be worth the wait,so what if it takes some time to finish!! I LOVED the different POV and so appropriate at this place in the tale!!And thank you for the blissful humor you lavished us with!! It did much to buffer the heartacheand now Tina as her maid?? Can it get any better??Can not wait!!
Great update as usual. Liked your writing in 1st person.. Thanks for the image of Tina in a maid’s uniform… really hot. I hope they fix things soon. Thanks for posting PPS
The master and the maid… my imagination is running wild!! Great chapter and I liked the format. I’m sad that Tina didn’t recover Eternity…I’m hoping you’ll fix that. Such funny moments amid all the turmoil. Loved it, Alchy.
God u r killing me here, How I was impatiently waiting for this update :)) and now I hope we won’t have to wait long for the next post so PLEASE PPPVVVVS
Wowser! You are the “epic-queen-of-fan fiction!” You are a rock star! These long chapters are an emotional roller coaster rides…I cried (“She gave it back”), laughed (Sam & Bette), relieved (Jill’s confession), anger (Kate’s timing turning up at the park), sadness (no return of eternity), and roared with laughter (dreaming of porn…My Tina). You are an incredible writer!!!! Ok…we’ve hung on to the drama…please some lightness and “combative” fun that these 2 capture on paper. Rock on Alchy!!!!
Oh, that was good. My heart was hurting most of this post, but in the end some of the pain was relieved.
Way hilarious but not missing on dramatic moments too. And must say, Bettes new maid is a little rough around the edges. LOL
i always feel after reading one of your posts, that i just read a really good book and i can’t wait for the sequel!!!
I knew Jill had the hots for Bette, don’t what she’ll do but I hope her crush fades, like Sam told her. That scene with Kate and “accidental jogger” was too funny. Maybe we can hook Kate and Jill up? Just a suggestion, well more like a request LOL. Love it Alch.
I savored this over 2 wonderful days, I don’t like waiting for more updates just so you know. I will though, wait that is because that’s all I can do, sit and wait, and wait and sit. Thanks for the update it’s something wonderful to look forward to, and now this twist….hmm delicious to read I’m sure!!
So, Tina is the maid! Can’t wait to see how this plays out in the next chapters! PPS
Hey girl. Glad you are back and with a big one. Many emotions during the reading but the last one is anticipation. We need you back soon… :) Thanks for the incredible story. Kisses
That was awesome, the drunk Bette is funny and crazy and scary too lol. Hope she and Tina will sit down and talk and work thing out but now let see some maid and master here lol. I think jill and kate should hook up and they can stay out of B&T’s life. Please post more, thanks!
