He looked up as she entered the room. He stood up, walked to her and took her in his arms. She clinged to him, sobbing heavily.
“Shh, Tina. It’s not your fault, she wasn’t right in her mind. You couldn’t help it. If she was right in her mind, she wouldn’t have done it. There’s nothing you could do about it, you know. I know it’ll be hard, but you should try and forget it. I’ll be there for you. We’ll get through this together.”
Tina immediately pushed him away, anger filling her rapidly. “How could you say that about her? How can I ever forget her? I have known her for so many years, ever since I remember. I can never, ever forget her.”
“I know it’ll be hard, but you should at least try. I’ll be here for you. You can’t dwell on it forever.”
“She died yesterday, Eric,” Tina hissed. “I found her letter today. How can you say these things to me when you know I won’t accept them?”
“I’m only here to help.”
“You can’t help it.” Tina sighed and let herself fall down on the couch. Eric sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her again, pulling her closer. She rested her head on his chest, enjoying the strength of his embrace.
The tears will still running down her cheeks, forming a track that seemed to be never-ending. She felt as if she would cry forever, as if she would never be able to breathe, eat or sleep again. It was such a surreal thought, that Bette wasn’t there. Surreal to think that she couldn’t just take her phone and ring her; surreal to think of all those things they’d never do again.
“She was in love with me,” Tina said in the softest voice after a long silence. “I can’t believe that she never told me… we were best friends, we shared everything.”
Tina felt Eric stiffen. “Nobody shares everything,” he said after a while. “Only husbands and wives do.”
Tina looked up. “No, they don’t.”
“So you’re keeping secrets from me?”
“Not particularly.”
Yes, I’ve been in love with Bette as well. God, I still am. I just didn’t think… she was so… I didn’t tell her because… the thought of us was… we were friends … if she had told me, if only she had told me, I would have never married you, Eric. I considered myself lucky to have found someone to even want to marry me…

Hey Genner! First off, Happy Birthday! I personally loved 18. It made me feel very grown up. Enjoy Santorini, it seems like a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday, even if you don’t want to turn 18. Now, for the story… I’m worried about reading it. I have a feeling it’ll make me cry because the diaries are going to be beautiful and the stories excellent, and then I’ll remember that Bette’s dead and that they won’t get to share any of it anymore. So if you stop getting comments from me at one point, it’s because the crying got to me. But wow, fantastic story.
Happy Birthday for Saturday! :) THank you for this story even if it is so heartbreaking. I can’t believe Bette killed herself…so sad! so sad!
Happy birthday, Gen! You know, 18 is also a magic number. Have a fantastic time in Santorini. That place is awsome and beautiful! As for the story, it very sad and full of emotions. Ah, we will love to learn about Bette’s diaries. Too bad that Tina found out about Bette’s love after she died. You are doing a great job here, Gen. We will really like for you to continue with this tale. Thanks for posting. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (The Salsa Aunties)
Happy Birthday. This so sad.maybe it a dream. Have a wonderful w/end. will be out of town for a week, and cant read anything thanks
First happy happy birthday! 18 is pretty magical. I turn 25 in five days and I will say from my experience 18-25 were amazing but I feel it only gets better everyday. So enjoy your birthday live it up! As far as the story is concerned I think it’s wonderfully raw and powerful. Keep it up! I’m curious to see where you will take it. Please don’t make it a dream sequence. I think it would take away from the reality you’ve managed to create in such a short amount of time. Anyways enough rambling great work!
Uhhh, this just screwed up my morning. I hope somebody is having a friggin nightmare, cuz I definitely am! Crud, why did I read this?????????????ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!PS. Don’t take my reaction personally. I actually love the way you write. You’re an outstanding author. I’ve read lots of your work. I just don’t prefer stories where death is involoved. They tend to make me angry and depressed. I don’t like feeling like that. It’s no picnic in the park. I’m going to find something to put me in a happy place now. (sigh)
Well written, but sad. I’m hoping it all a dream too.
Happy birthday Genner! Hope you’ll have a great time in Santorini. This is so sad but beautifully written. I have to ask you something though, how come that men are insensitive assholes with no sense of tact in most of your stories?
Love your writing, hate to cry
