    Rescue Me, Chapter 20

     

    She ran into Elle accidentally one day and said,  “Are you going to be around this evening?”

     

    “Why?” asked Elle.

     

    “I think we need to talk,” said Bette.

     

    “I’ll call you later,” said Elle curtly.

     

    Bette was at home that evening doing some cleaning when the phone rang.  “Hello,” said Bette.

     

    “It’s me,” responded Elle, “What do we need to talk about?”

     

    Bette started cautiously, “I’ve been giving you your space as you asked.  I need to know if we are still ‘us’? Are we still part of each other’s lives?  Are we still at least friends?”   

     

    Bluntly Elle said, “I’ve moved on.  I don’t have time to deal with things from my past.”  

     

    There was a long period of silence as Bette absorbed the words she had just heard.  Elle had alienated her from her employer, her co-workers, her family and friends and Bette allowed it because she loved her so deeply she felt she had to, to keep her safe and happy.  Now she felt as though the carpet had been pulled out from under her feet.  She felt the ache begin in her chest and the knots get tighter in her stomach.  Bette finally gathered together enough resolve to comment.

     

    “Goodbye,” was all she said.  She hung up and sat down.  She was in a state of shock as the finality of it all sank in.  She sat for hours wondering how someone can just turn emotions off and on like that.  How can you profess your love one minute and then walk away like the relationship never existed the next minute?  This question would perplex Bette for years.  She closed herself off for others.  She could not and would not let others in as they might hurt her.  For as tough as Bette was on the exterior, she was just as vulnerable on the inside, possible even more vulnerable than she understood.  Work became her refuge.  The caring aspect of her profession filled her need to help and care for others.  The distance one must maintain, not getting attached to your patient’s, was the survival tool that kept her from feeling and getting hurt.  She could get the human interaction she craved, while at the same time maintaining a safe distance to protect her emotional psyche.
