    Realizing – Chapter 14

    “Sorry about that.” Bette says and gives her a little smile.

    “Well, you’re both okay, that’s what matters.” Alice says and smiles back.

    Tina squeezes Bette’s hand, indicating that she should tell them. Bette glances over into Tina’s eyes.

    “Guys, I have something to tell you, well, actually, we have something to tell you.” Bette starts.

    “Okay, what’s up?” Alice asks and smiles. “You’re moving in together?” She asks.

    “No, not exactly.” Bette replies a little nervous.

    “Well, what is it?” Alice asks.

    “Well, about a week ago, I got a job offer.” Bette says.

    “Okay, and that is not good news?” Shane asks.

    “Well, the thing is that the job is in London.” Bette says quickly and waits for their reaction.

    “London.” Alice says and can’t believe what she just heard.

    “Yeah.” Bette says.

    “You said yes to it?” Alice asks.

    “Yes, I did.” Bette says.

    “So, for how long?” Alice asks, her voice changed.

    “One year.” Bette replies.

    “Okay. Why would you go away? Just when you and Tina are trying to get back together?” Alice says, but then realizes it. “You’re going with her, aren’t you?” She asks, looking at Tina.

    “Yes, I am.” Tina replies.

    “Oh.” Both Alice and Shane says.

    Alice tries to hide the fact that she’s starting to get teary. Bette notices it.

    “Alice, I need to do this, so does Tina. We’ve talked about it a lot. If we’re going to rebuild our relationship, we need to do that alone, with only the two of us, concentrating on us, on us as a couple and a family. We both feel that we won’t be able to do that here. Not with all the bad memories and people who expect us to make it. We don’t need any interruptions. You know what I’m trying to say?” Bette asks.

    “I do. It’s just a little shock. A whole year without any of you here.” Alice says.

    “We are gonna visit. It’s not like we’re able to stay completely away.” Tina says and smiles.

    “Good.” Shane says.

    “And I’ll set up a computer with a webcam and all. It’ll be like we’re there.” Bette says.

    “Good. So when are you leaving?” Shane asks.

    “I’m leaving in three weeks. Tina and Angel will join me a month later.” Bette says.

    “Why not at the same time?” Alice asks.

    “I have work, finishing it up, train the person that will handle my task while I’m gone.” Tina says.

    “Okay. Will you not be working there?” Alice asks.

    “I will, Helena offered me script reading job. I get the script sent to me and I read them and give my opinion on them. Recommend some, if they’re worth it.” Tina says.

    “That’s good, you can do that at home, right?” Alice asks.

    “Yes, I can.” Tina replies.

    “Are you gonna live together over there?” Shane asks.

    “No, at least not in the beginning. I’m getting an apartment for Tina and Angel, while I will rent a one room apartment.” Bette says.

    “You in a one room apartment? That I gotta se.” Alice says and laughs.

    There is a few seconds of silence.

    “I am really happy for you. You do belong together. Although I wish you would do it here in the country.” Alice says and gives them a little smile.

    “Well, it’s only a year. It’ll go by before you know it.” Tina says.

    “Yeah, I hope so.” Alice says.

    Kit walks up with the menus.

    “Here you go.” She says and hands it out.

    “Thanks Kit.” Everyone says.

     

    They eat dinner together and after a couple of hours, Bette, Tina and Angelica leave

    1. Sounds like Bette ought to be icing that sore leg! Thanks for the update; it will be sad to see them say goodbye to the gang, but fun to see how things go in London.

    2. I’ve noticed that when I have an accident I’ll have some pain at first, but the next day it’ll feel REALLY bad. Bette got lucky that she just got a bad hit and not a fracture.

    3. I hope that’s all there is wrong with Bette’s leg. The year will go by quickly they’ll see. It’ll seem like they never left…and when they come back it’ll be better than ever right? Right?

    4. I sorta feel bad for Alice because Bette was implying that they need to rebuild there relationship without her, which may be true, but I think Bette would have been a better friend if she had said she was going for the money. This way, Alice and Shane won’t realize later that they may have been the cause of Bette and Tina leaving. Beyond that, I love this story and look forward to the next chapter. Thanks for your effort with this story.

    5. I hope also that there is not going to be any complications with Bette’s leg. I think in regard to brigbeach’s comment, it is solely Alice who has to know and comment on every single thought and feeling and action anyone else has..not Shane, and it would be nice if she ever realized that maybe if she minded her own business, people wouldn’t have to leave. Please don’t let there be complications from the accident!!

    6. its good they’re gonna start again alone, sometimes friends and family can be your worst enemy even when they love you, and it stops them being so dependent on bette and tina…nice realizing here…PPS

    7. Hey Lauren, Good to see that Bette was not severely injured by the car. I liked the way that Tina was there supporting Bette through it all; harks back to their previous incarnation. And brilliant to have them finally tell all the gang. I loved the way their family reacted; sorry that they were leaving but understanding that it was for their best. Please contnue soon. Your Loyal Fan.
