Only Ever You – Prologue
Tina made her way down the block as she decided that she would get up bright and early the next morning to catch Bette before her flight, her steps a little lighter than before. Hope coursed through her, boosting her mood more than it had for the last hour.
“Daddy?”
The soft voice momentarily stunned Melvin who still had been standing in the doorway though he gave nothing away. Tina’s form had just disappeared behind a bush as Melvin turned to his heartbroken daughter standing at the top of the stairs.
Bette sniffled as she glanced over her father’s shoulder while he closed the door, “Who was at the door?”
Bette’s eyes were red and swollen from the many tears she had shed, her hair in disarray. She appeared the complete opposite of when she had left for her graduation ceremony earlier that day and it made Melvin angry to witness the sight. Since Bette had reached her teenage years, Melvin had always warned Bette away from relationships with the rational thought that they were nothing but trouble. They distracted and only served to deviate one’s attention from more important things like school.
Though Melvin didn’t like to see his daughter so hurt and upset, he was glad things had turned out how they did. He could only hope the experience was crushing enough that Bette would avoid all relationships until she accomplished her dreams. To him, nothing was more important than success.
Melvin cleared his throat as he looked into the eyes of his hurting daughter. Once again he showed no pity and no compassion, “Mrs. Johnson from across the street. She wanted to congratulate you on your graduation”
Disappointment instantly filled Bette, sagging her shoulders in utter defeat. Melvin felt no guilt or sympathy, deeming the lie necessary.
“Oh ..” Bette swallowed as she fought another onslaught of tears, “That was nice of her”
Melvin licked his lips as he moved away from the door to make his way to his study. “Come, I have a surprise for you”
He walked into the other room as a flash of sadness passed over Bette’s face. Melvin ignored it and continued with his task.
He didn’t actually know the reason for Bette’s unhappiness considering he didn’t bother to ask when his daughter had come home in tears. With Tina having visited, Melvin assumed the reason but still he didn’t ask nor acknowledge anything. To him, it wasn’t important.

Jesus that was rough!.. lot of heart ache there, all the way around. Not sure what Tina said to Bette but obviously Bette was willing to get past it.. it wouldnt have matter fight or no fight she was being shipped off. And the phone thing wow.. very curel. Your child is in front of you hurting a you think its a life lesson?..
Bette has to do as told . He’s paying for her schooling he holds her future. I dont see her weak without back bone i see obedance and not having a real way to fight back. Even if it all would benefit her in long run. He went about it as a dictator. And forever change Bette in the long run.
With all that being said I know the love for Tina will last the test of time and you will find away for them to meet again.. Thank you this was a great beginning. Ok i’m going to read first chapter.
