There has to be something else something that Tina can’t reach. Something else that has her feeling a certain level of discomfort but yet she is unable to articulate.
It was on this thought that Tina hears the front door open and close. The sudden clarity of the situation crashes on Tina’s consciousness. In her minds eye she can see Bette walking out of the house.
“Bette”
The pounding of her heart suddenly intensifies, along with the humming in her ears. A sudden chill settles in on her despite her prolific sweating. Putting her hand to her chest to hold her heart in place Tina tries to start for the door but is besieged by a stabbing pain that spears her stomach doubling her over. Tina is lost to the pain. Double over panting trying to hold on the best she can as each second is another breath.
“Bette …. Bette”
Time for Tina stood still.
“Bette has left her … Bette has left her and it is all her fault. When will she ever realize that if she doesn’t trust Bette that there is no glue in this world that can hold them together?”
“She loves Bette and she needs to quit keep score. Unconditional love is what she needs to give Bette. Is can’t be self seeking and it certainly doesn’t keep records on wrongs. Bette!”
Bette moves through the motions of throwing her overnight bag in her trunk. She is on automatic pilot, just going through the physical activity while she tries to cope with her emotion upheaval. The wound of this new assault by Tina is as deep as any she has ever experienced.
“I need to hold it together until we know about Angelica. Hold it together.”
This is the mantra that Bette is chanting over and over again in her mind. Woodenly she moves back into the house. Entering the front door and quietly closing it behind her. Knowing she needs to go back into the living room and face Tina again but hesitates trying to delay the inevitable. Pausing at the front door she leans against it to gather strength. It was going to be the hardest act imaginable, being in a room to comfort Tina but not let herself her involved. Forcing down any emotion, locking it away to save any shreds of her heart that may be left.
Bette can hear the blaring noise of the TV newscast from the other room. Knowing she needed to go in to be there for Tina, Bette finally pushes off the front door to make her way to the living room.

Dan jumped for all he was worth, grabbing onto the bottom rung of the ladder. He can see Angie scrambling up the ladder above him. Holding on he tried to swing himself up to the next rung to get to the point where he can plant his feet on a rung and push himself up with his legs. Swinging frantically he is trying to secure himself on this ladder before the wave of water hits them.
Looking up as he struggles to get his foot on the first rung. “Angie keep climbing. You’re doing great there girl.” Dan yells.
Getting his foot on the rung, Dan is just starting to straighten his legs when the water hits. The full force of a ten foot wall of water hits him almost forcing him off the ladder. Dan quickly holds on hugging the ladder and locking his arms. He looks up at Angie to see if she is in the water’s path praying she is above the water line.
Looking up he can see Angie’s face. She is screaming at Dan but he can’t hear her only see her mouth moving. She was OK up there above the water. Dan feels a sense of relief at having gotten Angie to a safe place when something slams into him. The force of which almost knocks him off the ladder for the second time mere moments. Looking at the source of the force Dan recognizes the metal frame as part of his plane. Immediately his mind clicks this is not good.

dayum this is exciting. remember us. were hanging on also. have a good trip and thanks.
Oh no!!! That can’t be good! J – this is an awesome story! I just love it!
Nooo, I love Dan, he seems so sweet! Poor little Angie, all she wanted to do was go to sleepaway camp and draw and now everything is all screwy!! hope this little family can recover from the hurricane that is there lives! Post when you can….
I don’t usually comment on tibette stories but have to throw my 2 cents in on this one..well written and quite exciting and cliffhanging! Tina is being classic Tina here..she didn’t consult Bette either before allowing A to go to the mountains…and what if something had gone wrong with that plan? It doesn’t surprise me at all that Tina has been hanging onto this card all this time, and IMO, “only love can hurt so deep” and “of course its normal to feel mistrust after betrayal” is way off. It’s been TEN years, everyone makes mistakes, even Tina, no doubt, but she continues to keep score with Bette’s, and her anger has nothing to do with being afraid for Angelica..if it was she would not have mentioned the affair. Then, after she tears Bette’s heart out, her next words are I need you….I…I…I…It’s always only about Tina, her feelings, her wants, regardless of impact on others. I am so glad Bette has had enough, finally. Real love forgives and cares for the other person and no one can tell me that Tina really loves Bette. Hope for next post soon…what WILL happen with Anglelica and Dan!!! Hi hi hi sky!!!!
I am on the edge of my seat, I am totally enjoying the drama, a rare thing to do for a romantic like myself:-)You are truly THE drama queen and I mean that in the best way possible;-)pps
EXCELLENT! Hey I just loved this JW, it’s powerful:Bette turned “I have tried too Tina. Tried to do this on your terms … letting you dictate the speed and shape this journey has taken. I’ve tried my best to be what I thought was the best I can be for you and for Angelica. It hasn’t been easy. There were times I just wanted to scream from the frustration of it all but I just grinned and bore it Tina. You were in the driver seat. Maybe I shouldn’t have put so much faith in you.” MORE MORE MORE
Fantastic update, you had my heart pounding. It’s really great seeing so many of the talented writers encouraging each others work, very nice indeed.
What happened to Dan? WHat happened with B&T?
This is bad and please let Angie be ok!
This is way too frightening for fanfic! j/kExciting and profoundly sad as well. I hope we get some resolution w/the next chapter. PPS. Please don’t leave us hanging.
Sounds like everybody needs to hold on tight right about now. Have a good trip.
You really can’t leave this hanging. I’ve tuned into the weather channel and its not looking good for Hurricane Alice, or Bette and Tina come to think of it!! Great to have you back posting mate!
The drama just keeps on coming – wave after wave! Terrific, gripping story. Please don’t keep us in suspence.
Oh my, you do know how to keep us reeling…hoping for calmer weather in the near future. Thank you!
J–thanks for the airport post!! this story just keeps getting more and more intense… i hope the ‘weather’ calms soon and leaves behind nothing but love in the air! have a good trip
Hey JWet, More exhausting episodes of this exhilirating drama from you. I love that when you are the zone the story flows out like the tidal wave. Often it whas brought me down but I always manage to resurface and stand again. O loved the simplicity of this chapter. Getting into Bette and Tina’s heads is always a thrill. Even if it is them dealing with their own inadequacies and mistakes. I do hope that the light is beginning to illuminate theire thoughts and show them the reality of recent events. It is only by being together is the whole worth more than the sum of the parts. Bette and Tina understand and belong together. only this type of comprehension of one another allow you to go for the jugular and inflect this much pain. Please get them talking again and moving forward to look for their child. As for Angelica I do hope that the storm will pass and that a safe and happy finale will occur, Many thanks for all your wonderful and magical words. The story jumps off the page and lights up my day. Your Loyal Fan.
THIS IS WHY YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST ON THIS SITE!!! THIS IS WHY YOU ARE MISSED WHEN YOU DON’T POST!!! Did you hear that all the way from the West Coast?! LOL Travel safe, I will talk with you soon…and thanks for posting this!
Be safe on your trip please because you have left us hanging in the air just like Dan. Poor Bette and Tina still not knowing the fate of Angelica and then losing each other again. Angelica is a strong girl and with Dan’s help they can make it. If only Bette and Tina can be strong and hold onto their love and not anger. Really, be safe and take care.
