More Than a Feeling
“Bette.” A pain-filled voice called from the dark. Bette looked up. The spotlight shifted, landing on a heartbroken Tina. Tears streamed down her face. “How could you do this to me?”
Bette stood, shaking her head, her voice returning. “No, Tee, I didn’t–”
Alice cackled again and Bette looked down. Alice blew a giant bubble with her gum, with the words “YALE” printed on it. Though her mouth was full, her laughter echoed, mixing in with the rubbing of the balloons and the record playing backwards.
“You’re going to leave me here alone!” Tina shouted, sobbing.
“No, I won’t I promise!” Bette pleaded, moving toward Tina, who seemed further and further away.
“I thought you loved me.” Tina sobbed, covering her face in her hands, shaking her head.
“I do Tina, I do.” Bette ran, shoving balloons from her path, but didn’t seem to get any closer to Tina. “I love you. I was going to tell you, I–”
Tina wiped her tears and sniffled. “Save it. I don’t need you. I’ll find someone else.” Her voice was haughty, like an offended child.
“But Tee–” Bette tried so desperately to reach Tina, but couldn’t.
Tina smiled as a strong pair of arms wrapped around her waist. “You leave me, and I’ll find someone else.” She closed her eyes and leaned her head back, just as another head came into view…a male’s head. He nuzzled her neck, kissing it, sucking it, licking the side.
Bette moaned in disgust, wanting to look away, but couldn’t.
He looked up. It was Eric. “Looks like your girl needs a real man.” He hissed, and Tina laughed.
“NOOO!” Bette shot up in bed, crying. For a minute, she was disoriented, and didn’t recognize her surroundings. Then, she realized she was in her bedroom, in her own bed. Sweat beaded on her forehead and back, making her pajama shirt stick to her. Tears trickled down her face; her heart was racing as she panted for breath. After a few minutes of panicked breathing, she finally calmed down. “Shit.” She gasped, steadying her shaky hands. She looked over at her clock. 3:21 a.m.
She kicked off her comforter and sighed, running her hand through her hair. There wasn’t any chance of getting back to sleep after that. No way. She decided to head downstairs and make herself a cup of tea, and think about everything her dream was practically screaming at her.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OMG 1st brb
I remember the hamster bit but couldn’t remember what episode it was from. That dream freaked me out. It reminded me of some crazy stuff I’ve seen and felt while sleeping. If bette really wants Yale, she should talk it over with Tina and not just give it up. I hope you’re able to post more often. In the meantime I’ll continue reading classics that people have raved about while commenting on other stories.
you post it again! it’s a good thing! i really missed this B&T and crazy Alice, Bette need to talk to Tina and if she wants to be with Tina then they should think about the way to be together. Thanks for the post i hope read another chapter soon
*Sigh* Bette, you’ve got to talk to Tina. It’s not going to be pretty but you’ve got to do it…you know that pretty much summarizes how I felt about S3! Perhaps a good make-out session at Dana’s Halloween gathering (Memo to Clarity: You’re 26 years old not 80 so never ever use the word ‘gathering’ again) will open…the lines of communication… yeah, that’s it, communication. Seriously, a huge part of love is support. Therefore, Tina should love Bette enough to support her if she still wants to go to Yale. I actually had a friend who gave up his Division 1 scholarship because his girlfriend asked him to. His girlfriend broke up with him a few years ago, he regrets not following his heart and now he’s an empty shell of the man he once was…umm, forgive that dramatic but true ending. It’s a direct result of me working for a movie studio. Manda, you know that I’m addicted to your writing so I’m happy to get my “fix” whenever you can provide it. I just hope that all is well and you’re taking care of yourself. And as sure as my love for Big Brother: All Stars you will win a Fan Fic Award! Holla, Manda!
Hey! another wonderful chapter – thanks for sharing this mellifluous story. I look forward to each chapter. Hope all is well – Cheers!!!
andddd my heart totally jumped out of mah chest when i saw you posted lol! heyy manda, awesome post, nice filler. i hope everything settles for bette. I cannot wait for the party when everyone is together, good times. Well post soon, lol, but all your fans will wait for ya, don’t worry about that. Just good luck with whatever is in your life right now and hopefully you can continue to write. C-ya manda.
It is hard to let go of a dream but even harder to leave behind a loved one to achieve that dream. Bette does need to talk to Tina about this. Maybe Tina will join her at Yale. Anything can happen. Glad to see that you posted this chapter. I do like this story.
Hope Bette will tell Tina about Yale and they will talk and work thing out. OK post soon please, thanks!
I’m ecstatic to see a post from you, I’ve really missed you and this great story. I hope things are getting better for you, meanwhile just post when you can – I’ll definitely read all you’re posting!!! About this one….POOR BETTE, this is not easy stuff, but she needs to tell Tina about her lifedream Yale. Keeping this from T will only make it worse, but I’m sure you know that LOL….you just loves a little drama right??? :o)) Take care
I was so happy that Tiff referenced your story, because I ended up reading all your chapters in a swoop. I love that, being able to run through a story…now I have to wait, chapter to chapter! But anyway, I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your story and I am glad to have a new author in my favorites! Looking forward to your next post!
Good to see you back! I was thinking about this story and was wondering when you were going to post and then poof a chapter from you! Bette and Tina do need to talk. Bette can’t give up her dream of going to Yale, she will regret that decision for the rest of her life. If they are not together now then maybe later on. Post soon!
So glad you posted Manda. I love your story and I hope life gets better for you soon.
Wow, I’ve missed your story and was SO excited to see another post. Sucks when life gets in the way, doesn’t it? Anyway, I feel badly for Bette, but if she wants Yale… I think she should take it. Tough. So much simpler to move across the country when you’re single…
You’re back!! Good to be reassured that you’re not giving up on your story even though you take long between your posts, but hey! I’ll keep reading! Tina knows in the back of her mind that Bette is going to Yale, it’s going to be difficult, they have the sex issue and now Yale. Damn buddy! you have to figure out a lot of things on this story, keep it coming!
Hey Manda, Nice to see you back and posting another fabulous chapter to this awesome story. Bette’s nightmare was intense and so realistic. It gave me shivers. Magnificent! And Alice’s barbs were tactical strikes as she put Bette in her place again. Bette needs to be honest wiht Tina and then they can work it out together. Sharing is the only way to have an open and honest relationship. Trying to hide things only eats you up and worries your lover. Time to stand up and tell the truth. Can’t wait to see how that chat goes. Dana’s reluctance to explain her feelings for Lara are going to be an issue. More trauma here I feel. Thank you so much for this adorable and inspiring tale. The passion and desire between all the characters is beautifully drawn and crafted as they each wrestle with their internal thoughts and emotions and the views of the workld that is High School. Bring it on! Your Loyal Fan.
Glad to see you post Manda. Hope that you’ll be able to do it more often. Thanks for another wonderful chapter. I think Bette should have a talk with Tina about Yale before long.
i think alice should let B&T handle the Yale situation…and B&T definately need to talk
tibette should talk, and then them two should come to some agreements ..
