Be happy Bette. Open your heart to love and be happy.
With all my love dear, now and always,
Lily
***
Tina had a sense…, not even sure what it was but she still couldn’t shake off the feeling that something, somewhere was wrong.
She stepped out of the third electrical shop she could find, finally thankful that someone did actually sell replacement cell phone chargers in this town and she immediately returned to the hotel.
Once she had managed to get some charge into her phone she checked her messages, the feelings of something amiss still not dissipating.
Tina frowned as she looked at the blank screen on her phone.
No messages. No missed calls.
Nothing from anyone.
She felt a sudden rush wash over her, not something she could describe, not something she had experienced before, it was…, there was…, an ache…, a dull pain…
“Fuck…” She ran her hand through her hand as the panic of that rush set in.
She knew she needed to get back.
Now.
But the divorce, the papers she had served today…, there was the time she was supposed to stay in the locality…
It didn’t matter, there was something telling her she needed to get back.
She picked up her cell phone and hit the speed-dial for the number she had used consistently since meeting the woman who invaded her every thought.
It rang.
And it rang.
It rang and no one answered.
***
Bette looked at her cell phone, Tina’s name flashed at her, it drew her in and yet she couldn’t answer it.
She needed her and yet she couldn’t bring herself to hit the button to bring the woman closer to her.
She needed to hear her voice, she needed her to hold her, she needed her to put her arms around her and hold her, she needed her and she couldn’t tell her…
She couldn’t tell her that Lily was gone.
To tell her would mean it was true and that thought of saying it aloud not only scared her, but would mean that the emotions that she had been coping with would surface. And emotions were not something she was used to having to deal with.
She wanted Tina. She needed her. She was in love with her.
But how did she tell Tina the one thing she had never told anyone in her life.
How do you tell someone you ‘need’ them…?
She swallowed the lump in her throat as she put the cell phone back on the table as the ringing silenced…

ok, you and skipton know how to keep us fans from missing The L Word. Thanks for posting, you are a very good writer, I really enjoy your stories
Absolutely perfect! You have captured everything necessary in this chapter to bring so much of Lily’s life to a close properly. Mate, the note just sent chills down my spine. It’s so true that in love, one must take tender care of the other ones heart. Let’s watch that tenderness unfold through your delicate hands. Jo, you never cease to please. A brilliant and gifted writer indeed. I think a certain someone else would have been proud of the way you brought Lily to life in this fic. A great honor, and a great service. xo
Wow Jo, another fabulous chapter! You write so beautifully and the emotion just drips from the page. I have a feeling that Bette won’t be alone too long; Tina senses she needs her.
such anguish…..makes me fell the need to have a bucket and a box of kleenex by my side!!!!
Jo it eems that I can never find enough words or the right words to tell you how much I enjoy your writing. This chapter was so beautfully written and expressed all the love, and care that one feels for ths specal someone. Your writing and your words are so eloquent and I love everything that you write. So happy to see you back. Post when you can.
This is such a beautiful story. I cried again and still can’t get enough. I feel so sorry for Bette and what she’s going through. Can’t Tina make some sort a plan to go back for the papers. She has to know and feel how much Bette needs her. I’m sure she also knows how Bette will hold her feelings inside and not ask for her to come home. So sad…but I’m sure you’ll bring them together when the time is right. Please let it be soon. PPS
So touching, and perfectly written, you always have been and always will be the one who touches our hearts and move us in a way that no one could. Thank you so much. Post soon and have a great weekend.
I absolutely adore you writing, Jo. I had to read it twice just to savor every word… that note had me teary-eyed. I hope I’m misunderstanding your note that you anticipate only one more chapter… I’m never prepared for your stories to end. Thanks for the lovely read!
Damn Jo, you made me cry!!!! Wow!!!! What an amazing chapter!!!! Thank you
Always glad to see your name, mate. What a great way to end my day! This was an amazing post… hey anything you write is amazing! Such a moving story!P.S Why is this Frisky one distracting you? I think you need to ignore the Badger… we need more updates from you! =)
I absolutely love everything you write and this story is no exception. Please don’t end the story, there’s so much more to be told. PPS
Very moving story Jo. Enjoy your writing very much. Looking forward to more.
love this connection between B&T, and totally understand Bette’s hesitence to accept that she needs someone…Tina better go to her
This is so sad and emotinal!
You made me cry. Knowing how broken Bette is and her inability to reach out to Tina was heart breaking. I am glad that Tina trusted her gut feelings about Bette. I hope she can get to her and ease her burden. Beautifully written!
Jo, I just finished this chapter after reading the whole story last week-end and this, I have so many emotions running through my head I could never put them all down here. Just know it ever posed the question again, if your stories ever changed someones path in life, you can say “Yes they have” Thank you so much. Md
Wow! That was emotional. Tears streaming down my face. I hope Tina can get to Bette soon. Great chapter.
You just described the exact feelings one has when we lose the most important person who has shaped and made our lives important. Yes, that lump on our throats is unavoidable, plus the feeling of emptyness, which represents the imminent “absence” of that person. After grieving, you are comforted that the memory of such an extraordinary person remains and lives in your heart. However, the sting always surfaces, when you remember that such a special person is not there, with you. Thanks, Jo. You really honored, with dignity, the Lillys who have touched and made us better people. Sincerely, Lucero & Marsha – JC’s Salsa Aunties, from Mexico City
Beautifully done, Jo. You were really able to describe Lilly’s kind spirit throughout this story and the note she left for Bette, continued to show how unconditionally she loved her. It broke my heart that Bette couldn’t pick up the phone to tell Tina she needed her. Let her in Bette ! Let Tina be there to help you during this time of sorrow. PS.
