Not because I thought that that moment had ruined my night, but I felt tired and as weak as a kitten. It was time to tuck myself into bed. Another round of hugs, and kisses on my check followed my announcement, as did everyone inviting themselves over. Thankfully, Kit put a stop to it and told them to stay and enjoy the rest of the night before she walked Helena and I out.
Once we were out of the club, she nodded to Helena who went to unlock the car. They must have set this up.
“Baby Girl, I am so glad someone could talk sense into you.” Kit said, rubbing her hands up and down my arms, warding off the chill that was setting in. I really didn’t come prepared to be leaving this late.
I waited, knowing that she had more to say, and completely unsure where she was going. Instead of speaking, she just continued to rub my arms, watching me as if the answer to whatever question that was plaguing her at that moment I would have.
Like I could present it to her in a ceremony of some kind, with the Queen and the President in attendance. I’d still be ignorant to the question mind you, still have no idea if what I was presenting would be the right thing, but somehow I would know.
The Queen would stand, take her place behind the lectern and make some sort of elaborate speech about America and how it is responsible for the degradation of the English language, this would go on for an hour or so. She’d then turn over to the President of the United states, who remarkably was Lucy Lawless, with green hair, and she would proudly call Kit up so I could present her with the answer…
Number 42.
“I love you Bette,” she whispered, gently removing me from my daydream. “I get worried, and scared.” And now I knew exactly where she was going, but I let her talk knowing that she needed to get this off her chest, “I don’t want to boss you around, or take away the fun. I just want you to be healthy, to li…”
I stop her now, I have no desire to hear anything more. This is going down a more morbid stream then I had intended, so I pull her into an embrace, holding her tightly. I do not say thank you, because I fear, perhaps irrationally, that it would encourage her overprotectiveness. Her desire to control my life as if that, in itself, would protect me.

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.

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)
