I was woken by my alarm the next morning; a blaring of the most annoying dance music man could have even thought to create – let alone dance too. I hate it, it isn’t dance music; it’s music that doesn’t promote actual dancing as much as frenetic schizophrenic seizures on a dance floor. Dance music, the death of music and dance world wide.
Sitting up, I rub at my eyes hoping to wake up enough to encourage myself out of bed. I really don’t want to be getting up today, I would rather lie in or hop on my bike and take a ride up the mountains. As far away as I can get from civilisation, to walk sit, and read. Today, I don’t even feel like looking at the world through the lens…
I just wanna hide.
With a quick glance at the clock I notice it’s time for me to be up and moving, Helena will be coming to pick me up at 10:00 and it’s 9:13 already, not leaving me with much time to get up and ready. Nor enough time to ponder running to ground.
Swinging my legs off the bed I took to my feet, enjoying the feeling of the soft carpet between my toes, relaxing my still aching feet. Helena’s boots are the hottest pair of boots that I have ever had the pleasure to adorn my feet with. Pity that my feet no longer feel it as a pleasure.
Last night ended up running longer then expected, the Thelodeous Monk tribute played for a couple of hours, then Kit had another cover take the stage with music that encouraged us to our feet. For hours I danced, laughed and played with my friends until we all returned to the table for a rest, and a drink; for me, a nap on Helena’s shoulder.
I had woken up, about a half hour later with Dana’s jacket over my shoulders and my friends talking quietly at the table so not to wake me up. I don’t know what about that moment done it, but I started to cry, startling everyone including Helena who quickly pulled me into her arms, softly whispering in my ear.
Kit appeared, as she tended to do, right at the moment and instead of asking me any questions she started to massage my temples and brushing my hair with her fingers, calming me. Relaxing me. Eventually I came down, or up, from whatever place I found myself and immediately wanted to leave.

Hi, sweet Deean! Holy wow! We are speechless. We never expected Bette to have experienced Cancer. Indeed it is a serious topic. It affects not only the individual who has it, but the ripples of pain expand to her/ his friends and family. No wonder Bette has so many dreadful thoughts and doesn’t want to be pitied. However, she has to understand that her friends and family’s concern is her well being, because they love her. We also believe that while she has been in contact with hunger, war casualties, death and tragic events, they all have a certain influence to depress her attitude. We certainly hope that with the necessary help and the solid support of those around her, that she will be able to overcome the dark place where she is right now. The medical check up is a MUST, if she wants to make sure the illness hasn’t returned. Thanks for this brilliant update. PPS Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks – Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
hel is such a good friend im nervous at the results of this appointment.cant wait 4 more
Oh NOOOOOO, Bette has been sick with this for a long time. That is one reason that she was seeing the world and trying to be happy. Dang, thanks for friends like Helena,and the rest of the gang for being there,and for Kit for just loving her. She really has some true friends.they are hard to find. thanks
I knew it, I knew it!! I was sure she had HIV though, and never thought of cancer. I am pretty sure though, that if it were back, it would show up in the blood work that she would have had earlier. Helena is the best sister friend. I still say, about the others, it’s still Bette’s life, and she has to be able to live it on her terms, not theirs. I also have to say, T…T..TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS….. for BOOTS? I am with azmama, be nice to my imaginary Bette!
all this cause she hugged Jenny in Season 5? wow. i need a hug.
When I first read the author’s note, I misread it and thought it said, “you’re all GERMS.” I thought that was a strange thing for Deann to say! Gems is much better!
You can’t post quick enough…..
I knew it! Bette is sick and has been sick before. She knows the signs and was trying her best to ignore them. Helena won’t let her do it though and that’s a true friend. I love this story and will wait patiently for your next chapter. Thanks!
I knew it had to be something more serious than a cold or pneumonia. I hope she doesn’t die. There’s enough sadness in this world and I don’t like it when serious shit happens to my imaginary friends.
Hello My Beautiful Dee… I am brought to tears by this chapter of your beautiful story… it holds so many memories… so many truths… so much rawness and so much intensity … something I have come to appreciate from you… I won’t go into to many details as I’m sure you are already bogged down ;) ;) with my mundane meanderings… but just know you are completely amazing… Love and Hugs, Always and Forever, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and ever loving Cuzzie to the ever talented Eunichick)
