    No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Chapter 23

    Tina: That is a beautiful idea.

    Alex: We can’t afford it alone.

    Alex didn’t even have to finish his thought.

    Bette: Whatever you need.

    Tina: Bette, Sara told me you are insisting on paying for the funeral, you can’t afford both.

    Bette: I can. It’s fine.

    Tina: We will all chip in and make this work. No sense in causing any financial strain.

    Bette hesitated but finally nodded in agreement.

    Bette: How do we get her out of here?

    Tina: She’s too weak to walk.

    Alice: I took care of it already. An ambulance is waiting downstairs to take her.

    Bette: Wow. You guys really took care of every detail.

    Alice wrapped her arms around Bette’s shoulders.

    Alex: We may be slightly immature…

    Tina gave them a knowing look.

    Tina: Slightly?

    Alex: Ok, very…but when the chips are down, we take care of business.

    Bette: Thank you guys.

    Alice: We should probably wake her up, don’t you think?

    Tina: Oh yeah. That might help.

    The four friends shared a much-needed laugh.

    Bette: Oh wait!

    Alex: What?

    Bette: Her medicine, how do we give her the painkillers?

    Alice: A hospice nurse will be there 24 hours.

    Tina: I can’t get over how well you both planned this.

    Alice: TK, never doubt our ability to get ***** done.

    Tina: Well, I won’t ever again.

    Alice placed a kiss on her best friends cheek.

    Bette turned her head back toward the room.

    Bette: Ok, let’s get her the ***** out of here.

    Alex walked into the room with his three friends right behind him. He leaned over the bed placing a kiss on Sara’s nose. When her eyes finally opened. Alex could see the glaze that had taken its place over her beautiful brown eyes.

    Alex: Hey kiddo.

    Sara smiled brightly at the sight of all of her friends, new and old.

    Sara: hi guys. Sorry, I fell asleep.

    Bette: Don’t apologize for anything.

    Alice: How are you holding up?

    Sara: I’ve been better. But I’m happy to see all of you.

    Tina: Well, Alex has some great news for you.

    Sara’s smile grew wider across her face.

    Alex took a seat on the bed and gently grabbed one of Sara’s frail hands.

    Alex: Baby, we are busting you outta here.

    Sara’s face contorted in confusion.

    Sara: What do you mean?

    Alice jumped in, no longer able to hold the secret.

    Alice: We are moving you to a beautiful house on the water. No need to spend any more time in here.

    Bette: There will be a nurse there around the clock for you sweetheart.

    Tina: And we’ll all be there.

    Sara: You guys, that’s too much.

    Sara’s eyes began to well with tears. She didn’t want to die in this hospital bed. She didn’t want to die at all, but if she had to she’d prefer to be anywhere but here. Her friends had truly gone beyond the call of duty.

    Alex: Don’t be silly. We just want you to be comfortable.

    Sara: With you guys around me, I’m comfortable. More so then I’ve been in a long time. Seeing all of you truly makes me happy.

    Her eyes scanned the room silently thanking god for the beautiful people he had allowed to enter her life. Her eyes fell upon Bette who was holding tight to Tina’s hand. Bette must have noticed and she quickly dropped Tina’s hand. Sara shook her head “no”.

    Bette picked up on exactly what Sara was saying and she reached once again for Tina. Sara smiled at the beautiful couple.

    Sara: Very happy.

    TBC…

    1. WOW….glad to see you were able to crawl from under your work rock to give us another chapter……hurray!!! LOL

      Wonderful idea to take Sara someplace beautiful.

    2. flair that was beautiful. im sitting here with tears in my eyes. we need more people like you in the world. what a wonderful idea about the house. thanks girl. dont work to hard and post as you can. well all be right here.

    3. What you’re doing here is really quite elegant…moving to a “beautiful house on the water”…especially since water is such a dynamic literary symbol. Jung said, “When spirit becomes heavy, it turns to water…Therefore the way of the soul…leads to the water.”

      More, please…soon. I need to go find something to make me laugh now.

    4. Simply just love your story. I´m happy to see Bette & Tina together eventhough life just isn´t always fair and Sara, who seems to be a really nice person is going to die at such young age. I´m looking forward to reading the next chapter so please post soon.

    5. This is the only fanfic story I read at this site… can’t wait every morning to check if you have posted a next chapter. I just love this story.. it’s so beautiful and sad and funny at the same time … just LOVE it, thank you!

    6. Oh, man. I am happy for B&T, but, Sara? Even if she’s never had Bette and Tina, and she’s got other people (a given), I’d still feel bad for her(like I do right now), and about her dying. Why can’t Helena die? She isn’t a very nice person. Sara is just TOO NICE to lose.

      Well, wherever and however you take me with your fic, flair, I’d still keep on reading. I don’t have much droll and drama in my real life. Some escapes are better than most, and you’re definitely one of the better ones.

      Cheers!

    7. God, how this line you wrote at the beginning of this so-called transition chapter (… now, please, why should these priceless moments of quietness-before-the-tempest not be essential ones ?) deeply, deeply touched me : “The sad truth was that one of the women in the room Bette would love until the day she died; the other would die loving only Bette.” For me, that’s one of the saddest yet beautiful lines you ever wrote. Honest. It simply gave me a huge emotion in heart… (because I unfortunately relate so well with Sara ? Certainly…)

      You know, sometimes my reader’s memory likes to compare scenes in a same story. Like here, with Bette & Tina’s tender moment near to Sara’s so-called sleep.
      The basic situation recalls me the one in “Can’t help falling…” when Alice was in the next room during an especially hot lovemaking.
      That’s such a great example, for me, of the way you always master the mix of emotions and an amazing balance between opposite feelings : if, in this former triangular scene, the intensity of Alice’s painful jealousy measured up with the intensity of passion, here you wonderfully succeed painting the sweetness of Sara’s movingly unselfish love facing the sweetness of our reunited lovers’ shared moment. So, what could have been a pretty cruel scene became a very beautiful piece of the purest feelings possible…
      … with even your author’s trademark : Alex’s sudden appearance to bring a touch of comedy, lighting the too high emotional level !
      No wonder you are my biggest weakness on this site, my so talented Rachel/Flair…

      By the way, could one dream about something greatest to hear but “When I’m with you, I feel like I’m home” ? Awwww… How melting ! (God, stop to be such a silly emotional girl, poor me… I must be incurable !)

      ********

      Alex and Alice can be the relaxing humour’s duo of your fresco, but how they also can be a glorious picture of everything a true and devoted friendship can be !
      Their idea to give to Sara not only a decent death but certainly the sweetest possible, surrounded by the ones who care for her and near to the nature, is a marvellous and beautiful idea… How great ! Everybody in such hopeless situation could be able to spend last moments of life out of a cold and impersonal hospital room, coming back to a familiar and warm place.
      That’s exactly what my apartment building’s caretakers made for their 12 old son, many years ago : he had a terminal cancer, was already amputated of a leg, stuffed with morphine and all was absolutely hopeless. With the help of her mother’s sister, who was a doctor, he was able to come back home, surrounded by his family until the end, few weeks later… That was so relieving – and this lovely boy was so brave, I felt deeply happy for him…

      ********

      Finally, I’m more than ever sensitive to the way you depict – and this chapter is a pretty good example of that – those essential silent talks people who really know each other are able to share… All is in the glances’ exchanges and meaningful silences are something I love a lot.

      Bravo, dear Rachel, more than ever you deserve all the congratulations for your amazingly engaging story ! God, how I’m melting for it… pretty addicted, that’s me ! O la la… ^_^

    8. Hey flair! *Waves* Remember me? :P I’m all caught up now, comments and everything! ;) You have no idea how happy I am to be reading your work again!!

      It’s so wonderful how the four of them are truly making Sara’s last moments special. She definitely deserves it. We should all exemplify Sara ourselves.

    9. I Love this story, even though it’s so heart rendering!!! The friendship aspect of it reminds me sooo much of 1 of my favorite movies “Beaches” with Bette Milder and Barbara Hershey. I hope u post soon.

    10. Wow, sorry work is keeping you so busy…and sorry for me too, because I spend the day AT WORK looking for your posts. Either way, I’m so glad to see another chapter! I am feeling though that this Bette and Tina getting together thing has to be too good to be true, right? I mean it is YOU writing this..lol. Something with Sara’s little sister is going to come about, huh? Regardless, thank you for using your “freetime” from work to write for us, I SO SO SO SO SO enjoy this story!

    11. WHOA! Thanks that’s was so Wonderful they get along together I Love it Hey flair I’m still waiting for another chapter LOL! I hope soon LOL! Hey I Love it Thanks Please continue.

    12. every time Sarah’s falling asleep I say “not yet, not yet…” honestly, sometimes I’m afraid to read what’s next. but obviously I keep reading. and can’t wait for more.

    13. oh my.. sooo very sad but beautiful… die alone must to be the worse thing in the world and im glad Sara have those amazing peoples around her in the end..and Tina by Bettes side is a rock she completely change after Tinas arrival..great chapter as always and im preparing myself for the sadness chapter of Saras died..
