Music Is My Savior
“I know neither of us would have bought you a game like that” Bette looked to Tina for confirmation before looking back at her son, “Where did you get it?”
Not bothering to meet his mother’s eyes, Malcolm rapidly pressed the buttons on his game, the sound of gunfire filling the car. “Jamie lent it to me”
“Jamie’s mom lets him play that garbage?” Tina looked to Bette with a raised eyebrow as she pictured Linda Geller, PTA president and all around “perfect mom”. Guess not everything was as she portrayed.
“It’s not garbage” Malcolm defended as he continued to play his game, “It’s actually set in the time period of World War Two and can be very educational”
“Ahhh my leg! That bastard blew off my leg!”
Bette pursed her lips, “Educational my ass”
She took the game away before Malcolm could even say anything, leaving her son with his mouth agape. She looked to her wife expecting to see praise but instead was met with a disapproving look, her eyes dropping to the hand Tina had extended.
“Ha! You cursed” Malcolm settled back into his seat, a smug smile on his face as he tucked his hands behind his head.
Bette glared at him as she dug in her pocket, retrieving a $1 bill and slapping it into her wife’s open hand.
“The swear jar idea is ridiculous” Bette grumbled, having contributed to the jar more than anyone else, “Who came up with it anyway?”
“You did” Tina and Malcolm spoke in unison.
Bette looked to her wife and son with surprise, unable to believe that she was being ganged up on. Her mind drifted to Angie and how her daughter would have been on her side had she been in the car, the thought causing her to look passed her wife and out to the campus.
Instantly she spotted Angie making her way across the quad with Alice and Dana’s son Nathan beside her. Her head was down and her arms crossed over her middle as she speed-walked her way to the car leaving poor Nathan struggling to catch up.
She was obviously in a bad mood about something and Bette braced herself for what was to come. Temperamental teenagers weren’t fun.

Why am I such an emotional person? I swear I cried through this entire story. Happy tears, of course. I’m happy Bette and Tina still have a love that’s so strong. Even after so much time has passed. Whew, then the emotional roller coaster of Angie growing up. I don’t have a kids or a partner yet, but I’m sure her and I will go through some of these same feelings. I felt transported into the story. I guess that’s the beauty of storytelling. Plus, a great author.
Lovely.
Thank you!
Beautiful story. Little teary in some part, and it’s great!
Looking forward for your next story!
