”Wow! I can’t fathom being locked up in a cellar like that for all of those years and not come out unscathed. I mean I know it was a long time ago but for her not to harbor any ill feelings about it she must be an angel or something” Tricia deduced
”She kept the necklace I gave her all those years ago. She gave it back to me last night saying I kept her going while she was in that cellar. Me. The one who practically sent her there. But instead of hating me for it she credits me for helping her through it. I don’t deserve that Tricia. I should have been the one locked in that cellar for five years. Not Bette!” Tina exclaimed bursting into tears and running out the back towards the flower garden.
Tricia sighed as Alana cautiously entered the kitchen
”Mommy? Why was Aunt Tina crying? Did I hurt her heart when I listened to it?” Alana asked
”No baby. Aunt Tina will be ok. She just got upset about something but it wasn’t anything you did sweetie” Tricia reassured as Alana climbed in her lap
”Ms. Bette will make Aunt Tina feel better. Ms. Bette is a nurse and nurses are supposed to make people feel better. Can we call Ms Bette to come back to take care of Aunt Tina?” Alana asked hopeful
”She’ll be back later sweetie” Tricia said hoping that Alana was right. That Bette could somehow help Tina overcome the guilt she felt and forgive herself so she could move on like Bette obviously had.
***********
After Bette left Alice and Shane’s apartment she drove to her sister’s cafe the Planet and parked. Taking off her shades and setting them on top of her head she entered through the doors scanning around the room and saw Kit making a beeline toward her and before she knew what had hit her Kit wrapped her tightly into a hug.
”Oh my Baby Sis? You are sight for sore and not to mention my aging eyes” Kit said hugging Bette tightly.
”Kit. I can’t breathe” Bette said trying to catch her breath to speak
Kit released her grip and stepped back looking Bette up and down

Tina…Tina! Think girl…. Bette walk into your life 24 hours ago and you want her to start dating you? You want to be with her regardless of the circumstances and the fact that you feel so guilty about your actions of 20 years ago? Your way or the highway? Seems like a bit controlling and unreasonable. Being friends first sounds like a reasonable idea to me. Don’t you want to get to know this Bette…this woman who has been through so much trauma and accomplishment? Don’t you want her to know you? And to be sure that her forgiveness of your actions were well placed? Just making such a request would be seem a bit neurotic to me. Just go with the flow for a while, she going to be your mother’s live in nurse for a while. After making such a demand, some people would call the office and tell them to send another nurse. She may care for the girl you were, but she does not know the woman you are except that you are attracted to her but are feeling the guilt. What if after you have resolved your guilt problem, she does not seem so attractive any more? Hell, you’ve been a straight girl forever… are you really ready for this? Take some time to think about this…do you want to break her heart again?
Good story….cannot wait to see what happens next.
Totally agree with Martha. Not much to add. What starts in chaos ends in chaos. Take a breath, Tina. All is not black and white. It seems a little of the determined to get her own way Tina still lurks. She can’t change 20 years in five minutes. Is it love or to assuage her guilt? She can’t know. Yet. Interesting way to incorporate Alice and Shane. I like this story.
Agree with you and Martha. Tina wants to make up for lost time and “that is the “guilt” that Bette is talking about! She needs to want for Bette to really be healed from a broken heart. Hmmmm
Ditto to all of you. Tina’s reaction seemed very teenager-like but I’d say that her thoughts and emotions are all over the place after the revelation. She should go for a long walk to think, sit with her mother and tell her all of what was happening and going through her mind. Sometimes it helps to give voice to the things which are battling in the head. Grab the chance to have an honest friendship with Bette first, everything more will come naturally (or not) when the time is right.
Martha, Billy and DumplinT have captured my thoughts exactly. Tina would benefit from therapy herself to deal with the 9 year old guilt filled little girl and understand those confusing feelings before she embarks on any type of relationship with Bette or anyone. Glad she let Matt go, but she wasn’t honest with the reason why. She’s emotionally immature. I hope Bette’s sense of responsibility doesn’t push her to be with Tina prematurely. She’s got a lot of scars whether she is willing to admit it or not.
Great storyline. Looking forward to more.
On the same wavelength as Martha, Billy, Dumplin T and BAT here. This is a very nieve Tina and Bette can see it.
Love the connection between Bette and Shane and Alice and the storyline it gives us.
Looking forward to more so please post soon.
Stay safe
Agree with you about liking Shane, Alice and Bette’s friendship. She is well aware of the necessity of drawing barriers by telling S & Al that are going to have to find jobs and places of their own after graduation.
She doesn’t mind helping, but all of them need physical distance. Even Tina has an apartment as opposed to the easy option of staying in the guest house
Can´t wait for more.
