Run (7) – Final Chapter
Bette had her arm around me while Angelica slept in mine. “You want me to bring her to bed for you?”
I nodded at the quiet offer, feeling so weak from everything that had happened. I was so grateful when she carefully took Angelica and carried her down the hall. It didn’t take her long to return, as I’m sure she was concerned for me.
“How does a hot shower sound?” she smiled as she walked back to the couch, offering out her hand. My knees were weak, but that sounded like heaven, so I accepted. I think she could tell that it was hard for me to get up and walk into the bathroom with her, but she took such wonderful care of me. She was patient when I was wary of being naked at first, and stripped in front of me so that I could see it was alright. She helped me into the shower after it was properly heated. She even sat with me when I slowly lowered myself to cry on the floor of the tub, the water running over us both.
She whispered little comforts to me, promising to lay with me until I fell asleep, and that she would bring Angelica in so I wouldn’t worry about her sleeping alone. I don’t know how, but Bette thought of everything. Part of my bawling was absolute relief, and I told her that. It was relief that I had Bette in my life, and that I really felt that everything would be alright. I was so relieved that I had faced my fear of him for once and for all. I felt changed, like I was a more capable person, and I wasn’t afraid any longer. The relief was almost more than I could handle, and I cried while she helped me shower. That was one hell of a day for tears.
“I’m right here, Tina … I’m not going anywhere.” Her constant reassurances finally calmed me down, and I relaxed against her.
I remember laying my head on her shoulder when we had finally gotten back to our feet, with the water pouring down my back as I took in one deep breath after another. She stroked my hair and down to my arms, and waited until I was finally ready to step out. The memory comforts me in times of stress, even years later. She’s always had a powerful effect on me.

You have to stand up to abusive partners whether it’s physical or verbal abuse in order to reclaim your life. Excellent story. I can’t wait for another one from that fertile imagination of yours.
At times I was so afraid for Tina and Angelicabut I’m extremely happy that she finally stood up to him. Most abusers are cowards and don’t know how to handle a woman that fights back, it throws them off their game. Angie was very brave to call the police, so proud of her for doing so. And Bette, well, she is just the greatest ever. It’s a good thing Bette was not there because she would have killed him and he well deserved it. I think though that Tina should have asked Angelica if she really wanted to visit with him after what she witnessed, I wouldn’t think she would want to see him except to spit on him. I never understood how he found them to begin with and when he caught her in the grocery store, it was obvious that he had been stalking them. It was a great story nevertheless. Thanks for bringing it to us.

As difficult as some parts of this story was to read, I truly loved how you showed the growing relationship between Bette and Tina/Angie and Bette. The journey may have been hard but the destiny(nation) was worth it.
