Round n Round We Go (Ch.15)
“I saw what you did with the gallery.” Bette made an elegant turn on her heels and walked back to the furthest corner in my office—her old office.
I frowned a little. “I didn’t change much.”
“Exactly. What is this place? Like some second handed art studio going backward in time. It’s unacceptable.” She began her censuring.
I knew it was coming. I knew she’d pick on every detail and scrutinize everything I did. “It is, a second-hand art studio. You sold it, Amanda Connery was its owner, and you bought it back.”
“I didn’t buy it, grandmother did.” She spoke with animosity and clenched her jaw.
I understood that animosity. She lost touch with most people from our past. And she abandoned her friends, family, was abandoned by them, too. I made myself disappear as well, but couldn’t afford to leave California. It was hell of a year, Mrs. Heminger let me stay with them, and I worked, sixteen hours a day, until Grandma Porter wouldn’t stand how the tabloids said about our short marriage. The streets were full of those with the titles “ex-Porter wife spotted in filthy diner”, “Porter family scandal: young ex-girlfriend abandoned”, or “Zero support payment—are they going bankrupt?” So the old woman found me, gave me enough money for college, and offered me a decent job in the gallery. Somehow, people pitied me, stayed in touch with me, and I got to mend those broken relationships.
But not Bette. She was nowhere to be found for three whole years. She was said to have acquired degrees in Wharton, then Yale, then went to New York, and traveled most of the time. The press was only able to receive information about her after she made her entrance in her family company. Then the tragic hit-and-run accident happened, Marcus and Therese didn’t make it. Aunt Victoria got really sick. I went to Connecticut to gather her and Angelo, that was the first and the only time I saw her, at the funeral. She clenched her jaw as she was doing it right now.
She blamed me, for all the things I put her through, for losing her high school friends, for losing her home, for losing Marcus, even.
I felt the urge to apologize. But she darted her eyes away. Maybe I was getting too personal and invasive, I didn’t know.

My dear readers!
I just did a major change in my story telling. I changed from third person perspective to first person POV!
How do you like it? I want to know if you prefer this writing technique to the old one. It’s okay if you’d like me to return to third person view point. I’ll just rewrite this chapter and the next one.
And I know there are questions unanswered, things unresolved. But things will gradually work out.
Thank you for reading and please, COMMENT on this one because I need your direction.
Peace
woo!now I see the big picture here! You’ve handled well with the child part, so can we see the duo have some passionate action next chapter? I am hanging and waiting, thanks for the adequate updating!
Passionate action, huh, well, maybe not the next chapter immediately but soon, I guarantee.
There’s just so many emotions and complicated issues between the two.
I hope you’ll enjoy this more. I’m actually improvising here.
And I am reading “down to earth ” by browneyedgirl28,and she hasn’t updated it for nearly two months ,soooo frustrating!
Oh, I think I’ve read her stories. But lately I don’t have much time reading fanfic. I don’t know why, just have been busy here and there.
I won’t disappear for two whole months, nevertheless! :)
You did a great Job writing in first person! For me, i like third person versions more, but you don’t have to re write for me. I love the story and will read it in the version you give it us.
Wow, Bette was so cold, but i hope Angelo will warm her heart.
They are still married? Hmm…
Can’t wait for their diner meeting on Monday.
Thank you very much for the encouragement!
Bette is a bit heartless as she comes back. But kids, they have the power to capture one’s heart in no time. She will come around and set things right between her and her son.
Yes, still married. They have so much history together and it’s kind of difficult for them to give that up.
I hope you’ll continue to enjoy!
Well Bette is a bitch, but I understand that, but pleas you have to sort that. Please please.
Haha she is kind of bitchy in this chapter.
I will absolutely make her come around to her senses.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Nice….a little disappointed by the turn of events, but I’m sure there are happier days ahead!
Yes, that I can guarantee! Thank you for reading and commenting!

Won’t be long! I’m working on it!

The Past was kind of Bad, the Present is Slightly Good but the Future of Bette, Tina and Angelo seems going to be Better :)
Thanks for posting.

The past has some good memories in it, the present is complicated, the future, I promise, will be sweeter.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
That was great and the kid are so smart and cute, like him. Wow they still married, what a surprise, hope they will talk more and get to know each other again. Please post more, thanks
Yes, the kid is great! I wish I could have one of those in the future haha.
They are still married, and a lot of unresolved issues in their relationship.
Things will get better!
Thanks for commenting.
Threw me for loop completely. I would love to really the aftermath from when Bette heard Tina and her father conversation I mean after all these chapters thats what we been waiting for and the story just turn….but Shit I like this too I dont know I want it to be the way you written at first but its your choice and you are a brilliant, exquisite writer, I trust you lol!
On the other hand wow Bette was a lil mean but can you blame her for the way she treated Tina, I still can’t believe how many chances Tina had to tell her and didn’t, and Marcus died awe how sad, I would love to see them have another baby but im thinking ahead, and can’t believe Tina still in touch with her dad but family is family.
I guess im going to just see where this goes and enjoy every moment of it.
I know, it’s kind of a surprise isn’t it?! I was going for that kind of effect, actually. Besides, I can’t really go on with the confrontation anymore. That was just plain painful.
Bette is really mean here. She has her reasons to be, and you’re right, Tina not telling her the truth on so many occasions is one of them.
Marcus, oh I am sorry about him, too. But… to serve the plot…
They still can have another baby. Just it’s really too long in the future for them to talk about having another kid. They got to get back together first!
But it will all happen eventually!
Thanks for commenting. And I wish you’ll enjoy it more!
I understand Bette.Thank you for the update,PPS
Yes, she has the reasons to be mad. But she’ll come to her senses.
Thank you for reading and commenting! I’m working on it.
I love the story and will read whatever version you choose to write.
Thank you! You are very kind.
Ok, I’ll continue in the first person for more chapters and maybe I’ll return to third person perspective in later chapters!
