Bette sat frozen on the curb with her eyes tightly shut. In her mind if she couldn’t see anyone, then no one could see her. At this very moment Bette Porter wanted nothing more then to be invisible. It’s not that she didn’t want to think about Sara’s imminent passing or the fact that at any given time she might have to tell some scared 17 year old what happened to her big sister. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to consider having to sit face to face with Melvin again. It was the simple fact that for the first time she could not control a situation. She couldn’t make the caner go away or make Melvin disappear. There was not one thing she could do but sit there and take it.
Janice: I’m sorry I’m late.
Bette’s eyes slowly opened as she scanned from the floor up to the nurse’s wrinkled face.
Bette didn’t say a word for fear she might displace her anger on this poor woman.
Janice: How are you holding up?
Bette wanted to scream at the top of her lungs ‘how the ***** do you think I’m holding up?’
She didn’t. Again she gave a small nod.
Janice: Well, I better get inside.
Janice walked quickly toward the front door and disappeared.
Bette: “How am I holding up?” Good ***** question.
After a few more minutes of self-pity Bette made her way inside as well.
Tina was sitting quietly at the kitchen table sipping her already cold cup of coffee. Bette starred for a few seconds hoping Tina would initiate the conversation. Instead Tina kept her gaze firmly planted on an old magazine. Bette took a deep breath and prepared to grovel.
Bette: T, please understand, I am under a great deal of stress right now
Tina: And I’m not?
Bette: No, T that’s not what I meant. I just meant that I don’t handle stress well and I tend to
Again Tina’s patience was worn thin and she cut the fragile brunette off.
Tina: Take out your anger on the person that loves you?
Bette: I was going to say “snap” but I guess that works too.
Tina quickly realized her anger was getting the best of her and she took a deep breath. Slowly she stood up and made her way over to Bette.

Hey Flair that was so great and funny! You guys so funny too OK! HA HA HA LOL! it’s just cracked Me up! Thanks Flair Please continue I’m Love it and Thanks for update!!
Badonna i’m so sorry, but we consider you the 1st.. cuz i didn’t really read the story when i posted.. ;) Flair, you had me LMAO with that ricky martin joke.. when i was editing the formatting i was like, what the hell is he doing here.. and now that i read it, i couldn’t stop laughing..
Yes, my dear..you have made my morning..it is only 1:11am but it is morning and you are wonderful! You make us feel so much in this story..pain, love, and laughter. Thank you for this. albeez..are you with me? missed ya tonight.
Fa6Fa6- No worries…you can be first! I get to sleep with her. ;) LOL
I’m 1st yaaaaay.. LOL i didn’t even read it yet, just done fixing the formatting, i’m off to read now.. :P
Am I the first to comment? Holla Holla big and tasties a dolla dolla! Philadelphia misses you baby, I friggin’ miss you. And there will be no fighting to be the first to comment anymore… it should always be me. it better be me now or I’ll be very perturbed. Wonderful chapter as always race, seriously. The drama flows naturally and moves the plot rather than inhibits it. I’m an English major… I know these things.
Fa6, Badonna LOL, i never understood why ppl want to be the first to read, is it some kind of accomplishment? LOL…anyway, flair, welcome home ;) poor bette, she totally doesn’t know how to deal with things that are out of her control but hopefully tina can help her through..and who’s on a phone? melvin? or sara’s sister maybe…great as always…thanks
I love Alice. Always there to break the tension, which of course sets us up to be shattered and blown away with the next bomb you invariably have in store. :)
Poor Bette :(
fegz baby – missed you to. but i am here.flair – hmmmm. dont be doing this honey. ya just barely got back, people dont need anymore drama. heehee. everybody needs to calm down and COMMUNICATE. thanks sweetie
aah.. the sister finally calls. it’s hard times for everyone… good to have company that can lighten the mood.
Good morning. Thanks so much for your kind words.. I love this Alice and Alex they remind me of Tom and Jerry I keep expecting the avil to come out. B&T sure have a lot of talking to do. Thanks
hey flair, I love your Alice. She is so funny. Her and Alex can always be counted on to provide a little levity in this very emotional story. I can’t help but think about how you got me hooked the first time and then proceeded to rip my heart out when these 2 split up! Girl you are good, because I am just as hooked on the sequel. Does that make me a glutton for punishment? hmmm maybe. anywho, keep doing what you do.
keep writing and I’ll be reading, deal? Thanks! :)
an advice for Bette.. throw your cel phone on the the ocean and never look back..lol..amazing cant wait for more thanks :o)
Great update. Yes, that was soon enough. :)
more of this story pls!!!!!
Hmm..now i read this story y-day morning but postponed posting cos i felt sick from baking a really sweet cake(and eating most of it too..lol) and then i read it again this morning but postponed the comment again cos I felt sick from some alcofrolic remnants of the previous nite.LOL So lemme make sure I comment now before I hit the party tonite..;-)You depicted the hurt,crushed Bette real well. Thinking that noone understands or feels what you do and refusing to acknowledges peoples concern/compassion for you. I like how Tina didnt just let Bette treat her whichever way but actually walked off in anger and let her know that her behaviour wasnt appropriate. Just again..ya story is like moving so much when it dont seem to be moving at all. Greatness! Like Bette doesnt understand why everything falls apart in the course of two days…its interesting to think that life either has a way of letting everything fall in place or has a way of letting everything fall apart at once. Bette just hit the back jackpot there for a minute.Oh and I luv Alice bein both sensible and hilarious. She can be a voice of reason and crack you up..thats effective. lolIm happy that you are back to posting more frequently and happy that you are happy. ;-).
ohhhhhh Flair it is great to have u back, and I hope that your posts will be more frequent!!!!!!! I have missed this story sooooooo much!!!!! Hope that u post soon!!!!!!!
Well at least you can bring me comedy. Keep posting and we will keep reading.
This is so funny and Ricky Martin is my favorite singer I just got his new cd call “Life” is awesome. Anyway hope Bette will open up to Tina and they will talk and work thing through togethter and who’s calling. Ok post soon please, thanks!
