Only Ever You – Chapter 2
Unable to hide her irritation any longer, Brenda rolled her eyes and slammed her empty cup on the bar.
“Are you seriously still on that? It’s been 100 years Porter, you really need to let it go”
Bette turned to Brenda in an instant, her posture stiff and challenging. “You need to mind your business, Larson”
Brenda immediately hopped off the barstool and met Bette’s stance, standing so close to the brunette that their noses were a mere whisper away. “And if I don’t?”
Tina grew nervous with the exchange between the two and attempted to squash the growing strife, “Okay you two, let’s just-”
Bette cut in between her words, her angry eyes never leaving Brenda’s. “You’ve always wanted to be me so bad. Joined all the same clubs that I did, tried to steal my starting position on the basketball team, tried to steal my girlfriend and look where you are. 7 years later and you’re no closer to having my life, still chasing after the girl who will never want you”
“Bette” Tina’s tone of warning was ignored by both women who seemed to have stepped even closer to one another.
“Who says I don’t already have her?” Brenda’s smirk taunted Bette, “Unlike you, I don’t make dumb decisions that end up costing me the love of my life. Trust me when I say that I don’t want to be you. So full of regret that you have to come back to your home town to try and win back your high school sweetheart. Pathetic”
Tina herself grew irritation with the fact that she somehow became the subject of the argument between Bette and Brenda. It reminded her of their high school days and how she was constantly in the middle of the two hot-headed women.
“Okay. You two seriously need to-”
Bette let out a breath of laugher, once again ignoring Tina. “You think I live a life of regret? Understand that when I left this town I made an amazing life for myself. I have a successful career and a beautiful girlfriend who supports everything I do. Coming back to town to win back an old girlfriend has never been on my agenda”
It was meant more as a dig at Brenda more than anything else, something Bette had hoped would silence the smug blonde. Not once did Bette realize what effect her words would have on Tina, the hurt expression on the blonde’s face was enough to break Bette’s heart.

I was so happy to see an update to this story!!
Oh no, poor girls. I think we’ve all been in a scenario similar to this one where you imagine reconnecting with someone only to have things turn out in the exact opposite way of what you intended! I hope Bette decides to stay in town longer but either way I know nature will run it’s course for these two, just have to watch it play out! :)

Hi! Thank you for the chapter!
I think maybe Bette needs sometimes think before she speaks, because i don’t understand how she can tell something like that if she wanted at least friendly relationship with Tina.
Brenda won this round, Bette’s brain lost.
Waiting for the next!

Hi LxD:
Thanks for this new chapter, the introduction, and the two first chapters are excellent.
I’ve been reading your other stories too, but this is the first time I have the opportunity to write a comment. I like this story very much, as the former readers commented this looks a bit like a ‘deja vu’, like a memory from our own lives. How many times full of hopes we find someone emotionally very important from our past and at the same time you realize that it is forbidden fruit.
Anyway, Bette is still a little hurt and perhaps she fell in Brenda’s trap speaking the wrong words in front of Tina. But I hope she will stay longer in town.
Another question is, why Tina didn’t do more of herself, I mean no disrespect for working as a bartender, which is a very respectable job (indeed something I like) but I thought she has other goals when she finished high school; was it because Bette left her? It was something related to her family? Anyway, I will really love to know more about Tina’s life since she ended high school.
Thank you very much for the chapter and pps.

So i think Tina decline Bette’s marriage proposal back after school prompt? Yeah, thats why Bette still hurt? But what about Tina, Bette don’t think that she hurting too when Bette left her without even explanation and went to the college?

Hi LxD,
So happy to see a new chapter!
Can i slap Brenda out of the Planet to a country very far away, she is so annoying and Bette had a point in what she said to her.
I can understand Tina’s pain, but did she think that Bette’s life stood still in those seven years?
It is oblivious they need to have a honest talk before they can move on, and Bette, Emma will never be the woman you will spend eternity with, how sad and angry she and Tina need to talk it out.
Melvin is and will be in my mind always a incredible cruel, heartless man, i am wondering if he has anything to with Tina’s refusal. But on the other hand it could be something else, maybe family, sickness?
How did Tina end up as a bartender, no disrespect, but there must be a reason very important that she works for Kit.
Oh, so many questions and little answers, please don’t let us hanging for long!!!

I promise not to ! The next chapter is well underway. I have a busy weekend coming up but I will try to post ASAP :)
Dainty says
Really like this story, just wonder what dirty lie Melvin told Tina as to Bette’s absence and leaving and not saying goodbye. Evil old bastard. Hopefully they will get together before Bette has to leave, Thanks for posting.

Excellent start !!
Silentreader says
So that what happened at the prom night. Tina refused Bette’s proposal. No wonder Bette felt heartbroken after that night.
Please don’t tell me that Tina and Brenda have already become a couple? (The news would break Bette’s heart all over again). But she was an ass when she told Brenda about her “success” in the big town with beautiful girlfriend in front of Tina. :( well if Bette could move on, why should Tina put her life on hold. :(
Can’t wait to read the update, please post soon Liah.
And, tks for the new chapter :)
izzie says
So glad to see an update !
I had the same questions as everyone else so I won’t ask but I noticed that “Al” (the one at the bar not Alice) was mentionned a couple of time, is it someone important in your story or a random guy ?
Please be kind by posting real quick !
Liah x Doll says
He’s just a random regular at the bar :) I’m sure I’ll use him again but not for anything more than comic relief
