“For what?” Asking softly, the brunette traced her thumb across the pale hand, ready to forgive just about anything the blonde ever did.
“For everything.” Tina shivered gently. “For the brutal things my friends said to you, for the kids that treated you so awfully, for not taking your side when I should.”
Bette audibly swallowed. She hadn’t thought about her childhood bullies for a long time. “It wasn’t your fault, T, none of it was your fault. Kids, they learn everything from their parents, and in a small town like that, people gossip.” She spoke as if they were talking about an entirely different person.
“But you did nothing wrong.” Tina protested. “It wasn’t fair.”
“Life isn’t fair, Tina.” She learned that way too many times. “I’m just one of its many victims.”
The blonde sat up, not accepting her suddenly defensive attitude. She glared at the brunette, starting a staring contest. Yet to her surprise, the generally stubborn and hard-headed woman budged under her not-so-pleased gaze.
This woman, allegedly cold-hearted woman, a criminal, was now putty in her hands, and she was having a hard time reacting to this new change. Well, change would be good sometimes, wouldn’t it?
“Bette, I hurt you, didn’t I?” Her inquiry was soft and patient. Tina cupped her lover’s chin to see the big brown eyes dim. “It’ is my fault.”
“No,” Bette chewed her lower lip and weighed her words, “no it’s not, T.” She took a deep breath and decided maybe to reveal the truth, well, a part of the truth. “My life was fucked a long time before you. My dad, I don’t remember him, but people say he wasn’t a particularly good man. He used to beat my mother,”
Gasping, Tina squeezed the hand in hers, “did he—?”
“No, he never touched me.” A relieved look on her lover’s face made the brunette smile for a second, “Whatever he was, he was still a father. We needed money, so he did things. It was no excuse though, for what he did.” She avoided details of his crime for it hurt too much to talk about. But Tina already knew, from people back home and Melvin Porter’s criminal record, that the man murdered three people for money, killed two mafia usurers in self-defense, two police officers before arrested, and a pedestrian from a meth lab explosion. He was later beaten to death in prison, possibly from the grudging relatives of the mafia members. “So you see, my childhood was over the second he made those awful decisions.”

Ok I’m getting a hang of this new design. Come and send me friend requests, write on my wall, or leave messages in my box or something!
I think someone may have noticed that I also pulled down all The Lucky One chapters. That’s because I am doing a major revision. There are a lot of changes. It’s half way through already but I don’t know if you want me to post or wait till it’s all done.
I would love your thoughts, if not on the whole story, but on some small things you like or dislike. Any form of comment will be appreciated.
Peace,
Robyn

Ok.. Slightly confused.. I don’t remember when they realized they knew each other from high school… Did I miss something, although I am only on page 5 so maybe it will be explained as I read further..
You might have skipped chapter 2 “Why change your name”? It’s when Bette confronted Tina about her appearance at the mansion. They are pretty sure about each other the entire time.
Welcome back! And you came back with incredible force. But i am a little confused, was Tina really having a nightmare where she shot Bette dead or did she it really and is now in some kind of shock where the reality is escaping her?
Would love to read the chapters you already have from The Lucky One.
