“Thanks, come sit with me my Love… so I can put my feet in the pool and cool off…”
Bette got a towel from the basket by the door and they sat side by side, their feet in the water. Bette dipped her hand in the pool and gently rubbed the mud off Tina’s forehead, kissing her on the nose.
“How was your day, Tee?” Bette asked, wanting to know about the therapy session but not sure if she should ask outright.
“I had an interesting therapy session today with Eloise. She has this quirky, hippy vibe I really like that was eclectic and soothing at the same time. Her dog, George sat at my feet the whole time which I really loved. She said to start with the backstory of my life for the first meeting… but we didn’t really talk much because I couldn’t stop crying.”
“Oh Babe” Bette’s hand found Tina’s, as she squeezed her hand in sympathy.
“I literally cried for almost forty minutes. Straight. Ugly cry too, Bette. Like sobbing. The kind of crying that comes from deep in your soul, if that makes any sense. George put his head on my lap, it was adorable, but made me cry more.”
“Sweetheart…”
“I would have won an Oscar, seriously. I slid off the couch and crumpled to the carpet and lay with George. God, he must be the most patient dog to put up with her clients. I was basically a puddle on the floor. She knelt down next to me, I think…everything was such a blur… she said it must have been a lifetime of grief coming out at once.”
“Are you ok?”
“That’s the thing, Honey. When it was over… I felt amazing, I felt like I was washed out, purified almost.”
“Well that’s good then I guess, what else did she say?”
“She said there’s a famous quote that applies to my situation. It goes like this ‘if you don’t heal what hurt you, you will bleed on people who didn’t cut you…’ That is exactly what is happening, has been happening. All through my childhood, Bette… it’s so clear to me now. I was hurt growing up… by my mother’s cruelty and, later by my father’s indifference to what was going on. So, it manifests later in my life as an adult. And how I treated you, the decisions I make or the way I problem solve.”

Excellent chapter. Love that Bette is there for Tina and vice versa. Donna Kennard is the mastermind. Wow. How could She condone Eric’s attacks? Donna is clearly evil. Not sure about Tom. Tina getting what she deserved from Aaron. This has made my day!!!!! Well done.
Wow…. Donna is the mastermind? What an actress… she has to be a social-psychopath. Bette is right in that there are so many questions that only she can answer. I wonder how much Lucy knows? So Lucy is going to be a teacher? Wonder what happens if her pictures Eric made of her get on the internet? That will not bode well in the educational community.
What really does not make any sense is why Donna would want anything to do with Tina at all. If she were truly in charge, she could have put her thumb on Eric’s drug supply and brought him under control at any time. Why let that scum have anything to do with her daughters? And what came first, the drug business or Eric’s loan (perhaps to get into the drug business)? Was Eric blackmailing Mom? Give him Tina or he goes to the authorities? Real drug cartels usually have ways to shut blackmailers down which usually do not include succumbing to blackmail threats. But now that the government has all of them in custody, then I would presume that we will never know until a book comes out on the case after all the criminals are under lock and key.
I do feel sorry for Tina. She is losing her parents without really knowing the whole story. I understand the need and desire for her to sever all relations, but I would have this curiosity to know the whole story. How did a southern church lady become a drug lord kingpin and did her weak husband know anything about it? That would not mean that Tina would have to see or talk to them again, but she might consider talking to the prosecutor once their part of the case had been settled. They will know things about her parents which will never come out in trial. They would have a time line as to when Donna became a drug lord. They would know if Tom was involved or just caught up in his wife’s web. None of which would save their relationship with Tina, but it might give Tina some form of closure for this episode of her life. For this episode now involves Eric, Tom, Donna and Lucy. And the fact that she is leaving the door open for Lucy and the possibility for a future relationship and should that occur, will always be a reminder of this episode in her life of which she will have so many unanswered questions.
Of course, my suspicion is that Bette has not told her everything she knows about the lives of Donna and Tom and Eric. I think she just gave Tina the bullet points. At some point, she will need to disclose everything she knows so that Tina can put everything in the rear view mirror and move on.
This is an excellent story. This was quite a twist from where I thought this was going. Thank you so much.
I think Tina need to know what happened even if she never gets the why it happened in order to truly move on..
Martha
I took some time to read and re-read your comments. I love how insightful you are. Yes, this chapter probably presented more questions than answer I suppose. I hope to unravel more of it next chapter – when I start writing it of course! Love your comments, please keep them coming they motivate me to keep the story going. Thanks, peace
Wow, didn’t expect that, sweet innocent Donna a druglord?! Wow again!
I agree ???? with Martha’s comment, she said or pointed out what i think or want to know.
Love the support and connection between Bette and Tina. I am glad that Tina is seeing Eloise and has a positive feeling about her. That is important and nice that she has a dog who helped Tina when she had that cleansing cry outburst.
Great chapter BK!
Thank you BiBi
I am glad Tina is seeing Eloise too. Seems like there a few stories in this recent group of stories where Tina is seeing a therapist – clearly the fans want that character to figure her shit out :))
Bk.
Love the total surprise that Donna was/IS the Drug QueenPin!!! Lawdd!!!
I believe that her belittling and vitriol especially toward Tina is out of jeolousy. She probably resented Tina’s innocence as a child and ability to love unconditionally as an adult.
Love that Tina has gotten so much healing from her session with the Eloise.
Thrilled that Tina held her ground in meeting with Aaron. She took her power and didn’t back down to his anger that she was leaving NO matter how angry he was. She didnt owe him anything more than she had already given
DT
Yeah, Aaron had that coming to him. Tina is on to bigger and better things. Can’t wait for her to start working and put all this mess behind her…. Thanks for your comments, I love reading them =
peace
So Donna the Mastermind!
Love this story, thanks for this post.
Glad Bette and Tina are united in the fight.
Please stay safe and well and post the next Chapter soon.
SG
Hang there SG! Hope you are having a better week –
BK
Hanging in there!
Had a word with myself and consequentially had a better week, thank you !!
SG
Good to hear. One day at a time.
My thought is Donna, Academy Award nod, is most definitely the mastermind of manipulation. Tom knew what was going on, thereby he’s body is feeling the effects. Donna wanted Tina home because of her movie access. Lots of ,money there. There has been no true love for Tina or Lucy. Lucy tried to escape toTina but got caught up again.
Please continue this story for like 100+ chapter. This is such a bright spot in this ugliness of COVID-19.
Stay safe.
Thank you Deanna, you too.
