    Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 9

     

    “Of course I still care about her, Bette” she snapped.  “It’s just” she paused for a moment and then continued.  “It’s just that you’re not the only one that she left behind, you know?”

     

    Bette smiled knowingly and reached over and placed her hand on Alice‘s arm. 

     

    “I know, Al.  I know.”

     

    This time it was Alice that stared out at the pool as Bette watched her.

     

    “What do you want me to say to her?”

     

    “Whatever feels right” said Bette.  “I guess I am asking you to go partly on my behalf, but just because I think that she could use a friend.  The rest is up to you, Al.  You don’t need me to tell you what to say.  She was your friend and I hope that the two of you will be friends once again.”

     

    “Why are you really doing this?” asked Alice as she looked over at Bette.

     

    Bette pulled her hand off of Alice‘s arm and rested her head back against the lounge chair.

     

    “After Candace” she began, looking off somewhere in the night, “Tina had all of you there to support her and you all did what was right.  You were there for Tina because she was the wronged party, and I understood that.”  Pausing for a moment, she continued.

     

    “But I gotta tell you, it hurt like *****” she said as she rolled her head slightly and looked at Alice.

     

    “I knew that Tina needed the support and that I deserved none, but to have all of you abandon me, simply because I was the perceived evil one, it, well, it hurt like *****.”

     

    Alice closed her eyes tightly, not wanting to remember back to that horrible time.  She had never truly forgiven herself for taking Tina’s side 100% without even stopping to ask any questions of Bette.

     

    “And now” she said, “it would appear that the roles are reversed.  I am the wronged party and this time, it is Tina that is the so called evil one.”

     

    Alice continued to sit there in silence, simply listening to what it was that Bette had to say.

     

    “And just like then, I am sure that there is more to this situation than just what you and I see from the surface, and regardless of what that something else is, I do not want Tina to feel that same sense of abandonment that I felt.  I wouldn’t want anyone to feel it” she whispered as she continued to stare off into the dark LA sky.

    5. Okay, I’m getting a warm fuzzy since one Bette Porter has such a big heart. I’m still wary of Tina though. Enjoyed the dialogue between Alice & Bette. Most endearing. Great chapter Skip!

    6. Thanks so much for this update. I loved the exchange between Alice and Bette, and you captured the electric tension between Alice and Tina, and their subsequent ease with each other so very well. This is a fabulous story–can’t wait to see where you take us with it.

    7. Boones Farm Select Oh the memory of a many of Boones Farm from my youth, I was laughing hard at the at one. Wonderful pace and sentiment in this one. Thanks so much for the story.

    8. Wow that was great and Bette does have a big heart for her to understand what it felt like to be alone and to know how hard that would be for Tina..Can’t wait to find out what kept Tina away..Please post soon and Good Luck with your Katrina survivor..You have a big heart also.

    9. Two great scenes between friends make this an excellent chapter. Bette has a surprising amount of empathy for Tina. I, too, am waiting to see how Tina will explain herself and how you will write it all in your superlative way. Thanks so much! Good luck with your new pet.

    10. Another wonderful chapter Skip. The dialogue in both scenes was perfect. Its nice to see that Bette still wants Tina to have support, even after she left her and went to NY.

    11. I glad that Bette asked Alice to go see Tina she has been there and knows how it feels. If yow need a friend,guess Alice and Shane would be it. Guess you will tell us why she left. thanks

    12. Tina has a ton of fences to mend, and I can’t wait to hear what she’s been up to.

      It was neat of you and your family to open your home to a pet left homeless by the hurricane. We all know that you and your inspiration have biggie sized talents, nice to know you have biggie sized hearts to match.

    13. Skipton,

      Another wondrous addition to this superb story.

      It is comforting to see that the support system is still in place for all of the gals.
      Even though they have all been through tough times the love, understanding and generosity is constant. These things are the measure of true friendship and bonding.
      It may be years since they last saw each other; the separation was sudden but the old habits like a pair of comfy slippers they just slip on and you soon forget you are wearing any.

      This has been poignantly crafted in this brilliant installment. It is a testament to the high quality and standard of your writing that so many fans are devoted to this fabulous fan fiction.

      These are intense and emotive times but through persistence and persuasion the rewards of reconnection are worth all of the short term turmoil and upheaval.

      I will be constant in my desire to follow this tale and will be here waiting and watching.
      Your Loyal Fan
