    Promises Chapter 9

    A Few Weeks Later

    Bette stared out the window of the plane as it taxied down the runway to line up to take off. 

    ”Is there anything else I can get you before we take off,” the flight attendant asked smiling. 

    ”Some Orange Juice would be nice, and when are we expected to land at LaGuarida?”  Bette inquired, not really paying attention to the answer.

    ”Around 4p New York time.  Ms. Peabody will have her limousine waiting for you.” 

    ”Thank you,” Bette said without looking up from the window. 

    Bette was on her way to a meeting with Helena and Peggy.  Bette had contacted Helena in London in an attempt to find out what was going on, but she was at a lose as well about the summons from her mother.  Both, Helena and Bette could have spoken to Peggy via Skype but they seemed to understand that being in person was the better way to manage this meeting.  Bette for herself just wanted to get out of Los Angeles.  As much as she kept reassuring Angie things would be ok, and the attempted indifference she showed to her friends, the reality was Bette was not ready to deal with Tina and her new partner.  Shane had told her that she had been in contact with Tina. She said that Tina and Carrie would be arriving in Los Angeles a week after Angie got out out of school.  Angie had told Shane about the Summer Camp program in July she would be attending, but Bette would be home by then.  Bette felt the two week Summer Program in San Francisco would be good for Angie; a planned break from all the drama that was sure to play out.  Bette had become increasingly concerned about Angie. She was clearly not herself and based on what Shane had said, Angie is struggling more than she let on.

    Bette took a slow drink of her Orange Juice, continuing to sort out things, trying to find a sense of control over what was going on around her. Alice’s fundraiser had been scheduled for the 2nd Saturday in June and Bette was determined to honor her promise. She didn’t know if she had the emotional and physical strength to be on for the type of performance she surely would need to meet Alice’s expectations, but she would show up.

    1. Sad…. Bette has no clue as to what she did to cause the breakup yet Tina blames her. Tina obviously has not explained her reasons for leaving at least not to the point Bette can comprehend. No wonder she is having such a hard time accepting that Tina has moved on. There has been no closure and Angie is in the same state as well.

      So Bette and Helena are going to work together for the Peabody Foundation? Bette for the art side and Helena for everything else? What if neither one wants to work with the other? That would be messy.

      Thank you for this chapter….love to see more.

    2. Well, this is an interesting kink in Bette’s life! I am enjoying reading this story. Although I am truly in the Tibette camp they need some real changes in their priorities. I do not think Bette was ever suitable for a political office. She is too reactive. And Tina, no matter what her issues with Bette I can’t imagine her leaving Angie for long periods of time. She was the level headed partner and it just seems out of character. So, this new life changing job will bring new challenges for Bette to up her game and get back to her true passion …art. With that change maybe Tina will also be aware of the changes in her soulmate and want her back! Carrie sounds wish-washy..not the Alpha Tina requires.

    3. Well it might have drained you but this Chapter was well worth it!
      Really enjoyed it and look forward to where the Story goes. I always loved Peggy and Helena , after she stopped causing Bette aggravation, and would love it if GenQ were to feature them again. Anyway with the way the real World is at the moment, who knows what will happen!

      Thanks for a real thought provoking post, looking forward to more.
