She moved out the remainder of her things while Bette was at work. Everyday coming home was like a demented game of cat and mouse. What did she take today? What did she leave me with? What shattered memory is lying on the bed to be the first thing I see when I come home? Is she doing this to me on purpose? Maybe I deserve this type of treatment? Until one day she came home and everything was exactly as she left it that morning. And she saw where Toya left the keys next to her alarm clock. Nothing was gone and there were no pictures strewn about to inflict some visual pain. For months Bette still waited for it to happen again, she was always expecting something to be different from the way she left it. But it never did.
…………………………………
"I thought you guys…"
"That’s the bullshit reason that I gave everybody." Bette said fixing her eyes on Shane who was now sitting facing her with her mouth agape. "She told me that I was never gonna be happy until Tina was a permanent fixture in my life. She said that I constantly put Tina first in my life even ahead of her… and myself."
Although Shane knew there was little truth in Toya’s words she would never say that to Bette. It was apparent that, that little statement has been weighing heavy on her mind and heart without her input.
" She was right. You don’t know what it’s like knowing that you’ve ruined a relationship with someone as brilliant as Toya because your heart won’t let you give them the love they deserve. She was right she deserved better than what I was giving." Bette said as tears were forming in her eyes again and her voice was betraying her. "I can’t shake the way I feel for her. It’s to deep for me to ignore it. But I can’t hurt Justine, she’s the only family that I got."
"There’s always Kit."
"How often do I get to see Kit. The relationship I have with Kit is nothing like the one I have with Justine."
Like a good friend Shane took Bette’s hands and let her cry. Shane stood and went over to Bette’s side and embraced her. Bette started to regain some stability and fixed her face to smile at Shane.
"You o.k.?" Shane asked rubbing Bette’s back trying to comfort her.
"I’m fine, really. I thought I buried all of this stuff in college. It’s just I’m at the end of my rope and I don’t where I’m heading anymore, ya know?"
"I know, I know. Hey can I ask you a question?"
"Sure go ahead." Bette said wiping the remaining tears from her face.
"When are you gonna tell Tina about Justine cheating on her?"

Tina should know but if Bette is the one to tell her I hope she believes her.
I still don’t think Bette should be the one to tell Tina about Justine (paging Shane McCutcheon, Shane McCutcheon), but she SHOULD tell her about how she feels. And she definitely should stop acting all weird with Tina. Best of luck on the job front. Sounds like you should make your exit from the present one ASAP. Good luck with the car, too. Hang in there girl. I can’t explain it (fairy godmother?) but when things have been most dire for me, shit just worked out. Once over a month behind on the rent, found hundred dollar bills on the street. Lying in bed in a diabetic coma with an hour or two left, co-workers located my brother just as he was leaving to do the laundry. No really, no shit. So hang on.
I hope it is not Bette that tell’s Tina. Bette just needs to be there for Tina when she does find out. Great Update!!!! Thank you PPS
OK… I think this is where my comment is supposed to be… so here goes… My goodness this chapter is so touching! I could feel Bette’s pain, angst, love, lust, longing… *sigh* My poor Bette. Tina, open your eyes, sweetheart! You’re going to miss out on true love and your soulmate. I can understand that Bette is in a quite precarious situation with her cousin or whatever she is… but, the girl is a liar and a cheat. In my opinion, she doesn’t deserve loyalty. Obviously she doesn’t love Tina the way she should, IF she loves her at all. Looks to me as if she simply likes to have a trophy at home… all polished, pretty and waiting for her to come home… and a few trinkets to play with whenever the mood suits her. I find her character a bit disgusting. I hope Tina doesn’t marry her. I doubt what’s-her-name would even be hurt very much. Maybe her pride would suffer a blow or two, but certainly not her heart. And anyway, I wouldn’t give a rat’s @ss if she was hurt. She won’t get any sympathy from me. I love this stroy. The feelings I’m experiencing while reading this, are a tad intense, to say the least. You’re doing great with it. Keep it up, please. Hopefully, Tina and Bette will find each other despite the drama that I am sure will ensue. Please, post soon. This is like a good book that you simply hate to put down. Thanks!
bette cant b the one to tell tina longer can u work that in the story
wow, i thought nobody but bette knew but shane always knows…great chapter, i think bette should tell tina
Ditto Emae29’s comments. Wonderful story. Excellent writing. PPS!
Tina does need to know but it should come from someone else and not Bette. Maybe set a trap so that Tina catches Justine with another woman and that way Tina catchers her red handed.
I agree with funnyone…I have been there done that and it is so not pretty…the messenger always gets shot in the azz. I was waiting for Tina to walk into the diner while her and Shane were talking…lol. I am sorry you are going thru all that sh*t. Were do you work that your co-workers are dropping like flies? This is a crazy crazy world. I hope things start looking up for you real soon.
Yeah Im with funnyone and hope my poor Bette not sad anymore. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Ouch…Please post again soon!
Hey girl I’ve just caught up and love this story. I like how Bette is so thought driven. I’m all crossed up for you and believe it will work. Good luck.
Nice chapter! Post soon…
