Life changes unexpectedly – Chapter 7
“I guess we have that in common then.” Tina replies.
“I guess we do.” Bette says. “I should go then. I had a great time tonight.” She adds.
“Me too. Hope to do it again soon.” Tina says and looks into Bette’s eyes.
“Same here. I’ll talk to you tomorrow at the café?” Bette asks.
“I’ll be at school tomorrow and the next, working late, but I’ll be there the next day after that.” Tina says sadly.
“Oh okay, well I’ll be busy for a few days after tomorrow, so I’ll see you soon.” Bette says.
“Okay, I’ll see you soon Bette. Have a good night.” Tina says and smiles a little. Bette does too and then turns around and leaves. Tina watches her for a few moments as Bette walks down the street the way they came.
The next two days Tina spends at school and the usual gang decides to go out and eat after the second day. The three girls and two boys decides on a Chinese restaurant four blocks from the school. It’s nine thirty at night, they decides to take the shortcut through the park. Tina hangs a few feet back with Josh, they’re talking about the short film they’re putting together. Josh jokes about a few things which makes Tina laugh and she briefly looks to the side and sees a figure sitting on a bench a few yards away. Just as Tina’s laughter fills the air, the figure looks up and towards Tina. She first turned her head back towards Josh, but something about the figure caught her attention. She looks back and looks straight into the eyes of Bette. She gasps a little at the sight. She also sees that Bette stands up and hurries off in the opposite direction.
“Josh, I’ll meet up with you.” Tina says and turns and starts to run after Bette. After about 3 minutes of running, she reaches Bette.
“Bette, stop.” Tina says pleadingly. “Why are you running away?” Tina asks.
“Tina, just leave, please just leave me alone now.” Bette asks, sounding broken.
“Bette, what’s going on? Did something happen?” Tina asks, starting to get concerned.
“Tina, please. I want to be alone.” Bette says as she struggles with keeping the liquor bottle hidden.

It’ll get easier, Bette. You have Tina now. :)
Glad your back Lauren. It will get easier with Tina’s help. Bette just has to stop trying to forget her lost family and find a place for them in her heart along side Tina and the possibilities of a new future.
so damned sad and so damned hard because u feel guilty if u forget to remember them BUT when u do ALL THE PAIN comes rushing right back. I’m surprised Bette only has one day out of it…some of us have hundreds of days b4 we recover, if and when we do recover!!!! Like your work so please just write when u can. Often it helps me to read other peoples’ stuff or even revisit my own or just take a long break as I have in the past…I’ll have to go back to catch up on this story…take care…
