Alice: ?Ok, well you girls be careful alright.? she says as she walks back to the car knowing without a doubt that a smile like that can only come from the genes of on Ms. Bette Porter. ?Sit your ass?s and buckle up.? she says as she starts to pull away from the sidewalk.
Will: ?Sometimes mom you are so embarrassing.? he says and turns away from Alice to look out at the passing scenery.
Ethan: ?Dude, your mom is cool. You are the one that?s embarrassing.? he says and puts his earphones in.
Will: ?Well at least I am not a little annoying kid.? he says and flips Ethan off through the rearview mirror.
Alice: ?Hey you two cut that out. I can?t believe that I am saying this but; if you can?t say anything nice don?t say anything at all.? she says and turns her attention back to the road. ?So here you go E. Tell your ma to call me later, it is important.? she says as Ethan jumps out of the car.
Ethan: ?No problem Aunt Al. Thanks for the ride.? he says walking up to the house refusing to acknowledge Will?s existence.
Back to the girl?s?
Sam: ?So what was it that you wanted to tell me?? she says full of curiosity.
Hope: ?Oh?um? I?ve only told this to two people?Will, and Ethan. I feel like a weird bond to you like we were family in a previous life or something?and hope that you are cool with this?? she says stalling.
Sam: ?Cool with?? she says thinking that she knows what Hope is going to say.
Hope: ?I am a lesbian.? she says so fast that it sounds more like lebbbeb.
Sam: ?I kinda figured.? she says with a smile. ?I have no problems with that, I think that it is great that you know at such a young age. My mom said that she thought she was but still went out with men well into college.?
Hope: ?So you are cool with it then?? she says with a smile of relief on her face.
Sam: ?Yeah of course. Why are you so surprised??
Hope: ?Well Ethan was cool about it but??
Sam: ?Let me guess Will wasn?t.? she says shaking her head.
Hope: ?Yeah pretty much and he was supposed to be my best-friend; the one person that I could tell all of my secrets to.?
Sam: ?Don?t worry. You can tell your secrets to me.? she says and puts her arm around Hope.
Hope: ?Here we are.? she says pointing at Ethan?s house.
Ethan ran to the front door and let Hope and Sam in. The afternoon was filled with story telling and games being played. Sam totally agreed with Hope that Carmen made the best food she had ever had. Sam was walking through the living room looking at the various pictures around the room getting ready to use the phone when a picture in the middle of the fire place caught her eye.
Sam: ?Mom??
Hope: ?What?? she said walking into the room and turning to look at the picture that Sam was glued to.
Sam: ?Umm?who are all of these people?? she says pointing to the picture.
Hope: ?Oh, that?s my Aunt Shane, Aunt Alice, Aunt Dana, my mom and?I think that was one of my mom?s old girlfriends; she doesn?t like to talk about it though.? she says and turns around to go see why Ethan is calling her now.
Sam: (thinking) Is this why you moved to Chicago mom? Is hope?s mom the relationship that I have to wait till I am older to here about?
RING?RING?
Sam: (looking down at her cell phone and smiling) ?Hey mom?
TBC?

I have missed this story. Good luck with your family. Stay strong, and follow your heart. Thanks!!
thank you for posting again…pls post when you can…we’ll wait
This is a great update. I’ve been looking forward to seeing your return for a while… so thanks for the installment. Be strong, brave and courageous with coming out to your family.
pls post again soon.. i love this story..
This is a great story. I think, nah, I know if you can tell stories like these you’ll find the perfect words for ye folks…good luck…Peace
please post again soon. i like this story :)
k, i just read the author’s note. best of luck w/coming out. if you need someone else to talk to drop me a line at falafelgirl@gmail. My folks are ultra conservative christians as well.
Welcome back, missed this story/ Be brave
I wish you the best of everything in your journey with your family. Be strong and do what feels right. BTW loving the story.
You tell this story so well, glad you are back. I wish you all the best with your family.
Maybe Tina will show up an recognize her as Bette’s
I have been your shoes and I know how hard it can be. I hope that your family accepts you more than mine has. In fact mine has never accepted me as who I am. It just is left on the back burner most of the time and of course nothing is said. I guess that it is better than being cut out altogether (I guess). I will be thinking of you and praying that it goes well for you. I was glad to see your story. Sorry that you have been sick and hope that you stay healthy. It is funny that Sam has put it together that Hope’s mom is the one that Bette refuses to talk about. Maybe the girls can hook up those two stubborn women.
Alice nearly had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Wen she said to call her Al I kept hearing Paul Simon singing “You can callllllllll meeeeeeeeee Aaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllll!” Maybe Will got knocked down a notch or two and will quit being such a jackass. Good luck with the family. :)
thank you for the update and I just want to say I really enjoy this story.
hey…wow it was like u were MIA or somethin…great update like always…good luck with ur fam and all…everythin will be fine!!! : )
I so love this story!!!!!! Please Post more Soon!!!! Can’t wait for Tina and Bette to see each other again!
Been waiting for this update, can hardly wait until B&T meet face to face. Please don’t have them get angry with each other or all dramatic. Let them be civil to each other with that unmistakable spark betweem them that they both recognize and intend to act on. We need LOVE, not anger and recriminations. It is in the past and let it stay there, let them be in the here and now. Let them get back together and appreciate what they have together because it has never died. Thanks for the post.
Oh so sorry. Meant to tell you to stay strong and stick to your guns. It is your life and you have to be happy with it, no one else. Good luck.
I’ve missed this story, welcome back! Well, Good luck and stay strong!
All the best with your family. Be true to yourself. Can’t wait for future posts. This is a great story.
Enjoying this story.Good luck with your family…may the force be with you!
Nice to hear from you again. keep it going it’s a great story.If you follow your heart then you know that you can do no wrong, always be honest with yourself. It wont be easy, but at least you know, you have that off your chest. Goodluck
So glad this story is back! The cliffhangers are killing me.. seems like a lot is about to happen and I can’t wait! As for coming out, I did the same w/ my sister (she is also the black sheep). I just haven’t found the nerve to tell my mom or family. Too scared right now and since I live in Cali, I haven’t really had to face it. My “friends” out here know and they are totally cool- Good Luck. PLEASE POST SOON!
Oh my, it’s really getting good now!
i missed this story…i guess it’s finally all coming to open…i hope sam and hope will help their moms to reunite…good luck with your family and follow your heart
Good luck with your family. I like how Sam has figured out about Bette. Will she tell Hope so they can try and hook T&B up again. Can’t wait to see what happens when they all see each other.
i have to say i nearly fell off my seat when i saw you had posted, its been sooooooooo long i thought you had thrown in the towel. anyway its another masterpiece, and i love the way that everything is slowly falling into place. oh and on you coming out to your family, i say you are brave girl. i’m still very young and too weak to even tell my mum who is my bestest friend in the entire world, one day i will deffinitly tell her, but that will probably be when i am in my twentys and moved out of home. anyway good luck with telling your sis, and i hope to have your guts oneday!
I have missed you and this wonderful story, I’m glad you’re feeling better again…..Thank for the update, I love this :o)) Good luck with the family, I hope they are happy for you, be strong and always remember – follow your heart :o))
Just wanted to say – love this story – and hope all goes well for you.
