Life is all that matters – ch. 09
“How is she, Dana?”
“Depressed. She said almost nothing since she woke up and she didn’t eat either.”
“Let me try then.”
“Bette, we will let you alone for a while. We are going to eat something and then we come back to replace you while you eat.”
“You can go home. I’m fine, I’m not hungry yet.”
“Bette, if you want to help her and do what you are thinking about you need to start to eat and sleep.”
“Okay. I will wait for you.”
Alice and Dana left for the cafeteria while Bette entered the room. She sat on the bed near to Tina and gently touched her arm. She expected any kind of reaction, but nothing came. Not even a “go away”. She was completely unresponsive. Bette took a fork of food and offered to Tina.
“Tee, try to eat something, please.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Even in that case, you should eat. You need to be stronger to fight against the infection.”
“Why to eat if probably I will vomit everything anyway?”
“They changed your medicine for the nausea. Try to eat.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Please, Tee. I know you are sad right now with everything that happened today but you can’t give up. Sooner than you think there will be another liver available.”
“Yeah? Should I be praying for another young person to have a tragic death?”
“Don’t think like that baby They will die anyway if it’s their time. We should be praying for their family to have the generosity to go trough their pain and donate their organs.”
“I think I want to be alone now.”
“Please Tina, don’t do this to us. I want to be here.”
“Do you? Don’t you have somewhere to go or someone to be with? Leave me alone.”
“No, I don’t. I want to be here. I can’t be somewhere else or with someone else when my heart is here. I can be an idiot sometimes but my heart has never left the right place. It has always been with you.”
Tina didn’t argue this time. She didn’t answer but her tears answered for her. She opened her mouth, not to speak, but to eat the food that Bette was still holding in front of her. Forty minutes later, Dana and Alice came back. So Bette decided to have dinner. When she was going to the cafeteria, Alice stopped her.
“Bette, wait.”
“Al, if you will try to change my mind, forget it.”
“No, I won’t. I want Tina better too. I would donor if necessary. I will support you. But there is something that I need to tell you, before you make a final decision.”
“What?”
“Well I swore Tina I wouldn’t tell you. But it’s time to you know the truth.”

1º…lol..im glad they finaly had an emotional conversation and Tina seems to finally undertand why Bette is there, cant wait to know what is the big secret your BIG tease..please post soon im begging you..lol..great as always thanks :o)and watch your back..the gang plan is still on :o)
Truth? Truth? What truth?I’m concerned that if Bette’s not around for Tina’s recovery (due to her own recovery), Tina will misunderstand and not do well herself. (Yes, they’re fictional characters, but still.)
OH hell..why did you leave us hanging like that. Please post soon…and I think they should tell Tina once the surgery is done. thanks again
ohhh lordy what now…….u thrive on drama…don’t ya!!!!!! HURRY UP AND POST ALREADY!!!!!!!
What’s that?! (screaming behind the curtain…) You told me no cry… Did Tina get sick due to Bette’s betrayal or something? Please, please post again soon.
what’s now? does it ever f***ing ends? LOL…so many secrets…and i hope someone will tell tina too that bette is the donor, so she’ll see that bette loves her so much
what secret?..the drama never ends, does it?..i really hope Alice accidentally slips that Bette is the donor, i mean how are they gonna explain Bette’s absence for recovery if she actually goes through the surgery
Yeah, let’s make a bet who’s going to release the HUGE secret (that Bette’s the donor). I goes for Caroline.
now your killing me here… come on post what alice has to say to bette.. and don’t think i forgot… you better make tina better… and that goes for bette to… later…
this story is sad enough without cliff hangers–what truth does it have anything to do with their baby–can’t think to much because its sooooooooo sad
The truth? ‘the hell? You’re SO cruel! :oP Quick, another post!!
What the hell could the secret be about please dont keep us waiting too long. If Tina an Bette do make it through this, then when they are getting jiggy Tina will see that Bette will have the same scar as herself, so there,

let bette give tina part of her liver so they can be together forever and raise angelica.

there is NO way that Bette’s secret won’t come out — probably when B is really ill and T doesn’t know where she is. eh — can you spare us anything too gory — i’m really chicken when it comes to blood. ohb — great chp by the way
What truth ??? Post soon!!! Don’t let Tina die. I’m speechless of Bette’s action … what a love !!
Yes you do need a bodyguard – a big one, because somehow I don’t think Alice brings good news to Bette. I’m so sad right now :o((
Finally an open and emotional conversation between B & T. Can’t believe there’s something Bette hasn’t been told yet. LOL. Can’t wait to know what the secret is…thanks for such a great post. Please continue.

I’ve just finished reading the 9 chapters. You leave me speachless, two years ago, my wife and I (we married last year here in Belgium where same sex marriages are allowed) were goin’ through the same thing as in you story. My wife had her liver transplant after being in a come for several days also. We still thank quietly our donor every day. Please go on with your story of pain and hope. I now many people will find confort in it, as we do. We love you.
