One and Only – chapter 21
Tina nodded “Yes – last week when we all went out for a run she just didn’t want to compete in a race. She loves running – she’s told me that a lot of times but when it came down to pitting herself against the rest of the class she was mortified “
“Bette has an attitude which is just different to most of us. She only has one person that she wants to compete against and that’s herself. I think its an admirable attitude but its not one you often find in a 17 year old”
“Do you think its because she’s got so little confidence ?”
“Bette is a lot more assured than she was a few months ago. I don’t think she would have had the courage to talk to you if you had arrived .last term”
“It can be difficult to get her to talk now “
“But she does “ Shane said “Carmen was just saying last night that the two of you have become good friends and that can only be good for Bette. “
“I like her” Tina really wanted to ask Shane if she thought that Bette might be gay but she knew that Bette was still way too reserved to come out even if she was. But Tina really liked the brunette – it was a tough one
“She likes you – I know it looks like she is being reserved but it took Carmen and I months to get her to have a conversation with us. She just lives in her head – she doesn’t seem to want the friendships that we all do.”
“Do you think she does ?”
“I think she is so lonely that she doesn’t even know how lonely she is”
Tina looked at Shane with surprise
“Really ?”
“I think Bette would like what she sees everyone else having. She has a fantastically huge heart – she is the kindest person I know. If you really were as self obsessed as I know other people think she is – then she wouldn’t be kind. She would be selfish and hard. Bette has built a wall around her – everyone does but Bette’s defences are thicker because no one has ever knocked a few of those bricks out of the wall. I think its interesting that she has leapt so obsessively into running”

I so love this story, especially if everyone gets to stay alive. (Both of Tina’s moms) I’m also looking forward to the journey that Bette and Tina take in strengthening their friendship and then deepening it into something more. I’m also hoping that both sets of parents can reestablish a good friendship with each other. I’m just saying… Thanks for the posting.
Just wanted to say that I love this story. I love how you are slowly taking us on this journey on B&T discovering who they truly are as individuals and hopefully what they can become together. Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful story. :)
Love how the story is unfolding. Although patience is not a strong suite. ;-)
Great update. If only I’d had someone to talk with like this when I was in high school and college my life would have been very different. It certainly would have been a lot less stressful and I most certainly never would have married a guy. Eeeewwwwwww, happy that’s been over for almost four decades. It is my hope that every young lady that is having questions regarding who she is and her sexuality get a chance to read this story. It is wonderful. Thanks for posting.
Love how this story is shaping up!
Love the story and your writing is awesome. Thanks
Another wonderful chapter! Thanks, Ally
I just love this story for many reasons but the biggest one is how I connect with it. I believe your Bette can be used to describe some closetted adult lesbians today. Still struggling with their feelings and doubts about their existence, a bit far fetched I know 😄 thank you 😉👍
Thats good
I love this story so much. Thanky you Ally.
Wow! Simply WOW Ally!! Thanks for the update :-) And yes… Shane is yoda indeed! Her observation is so amazingly sharp and deep! And lucky for them to find each other as friends in such a young age!! And even luckier to be aware of their sexuality so early in their life.. Love the story Ally! And I think this slow burning makes the story so dear to me ;-) BTW… Would it be possible to celebrate the weekend after such a LONG week with LONG updates also!? :-D haha… Maybe it’s time for Rocky to wake up after such a LONG nap!? ;-) LOL hi-paws!!
Thank you for the update.Love it.PPS
