Stained – Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Bette Porter felt like smashing something. Or someone. Or like spending lots and lots of money on stuff she would never use. Or like running a marathon. She basically felt like doing anything that would take her mind off things. She had never in her life felt so restless before and that meant something because Bette had always suffered from severe AMS; Afraid to Miss Something. She had the symptoms, too. The woman good not get a decent night’s sleep if her life depended on it. She had always been an ‘I’ll sleep when I’m dead’ kind of person and lying in bed just seemed like a big waste of time to her. She had tried going to bed at 10 with a hot-water bottle, but it was no use. Even if she was dog-tired, the feeling of losing out on something kept her awake. That and the fear that her hair would have turned grey when she woke up.
‘I should use some of my money to finance a study on the effect of hot-water bottles on the process of aging.’ Bette always had these visions of white-haired, wrinkled scientists with thick glasses carrying out experiments with two apples under glass bells, one with a hot-water bag and one without. She could just see the first apple becoming instantly moldy as the accelerated process of decay ate its way through the poor fruit. ‘Maybe buying up every hot-water bag in LA and ritually burn them would help me relax.’
‘Wait, maybe I shouldn’t be thinking about hot-water bottles when I’m kissing someone.’ She peeked at the person standing just in front of her. It wasn’t his fault that she was having a bad day. She tried to focus on kissing the man.
"Cut!" The director yelled, irritated. "We’ll do another one in five minutes and try to keep your eyes closed then, Bette. I know you can do better than this."
Bette sighed and rolled her eyes. Her co-star was grinning. "Not that I mind getting to kiss you yet again, but he’s right, you know."
"Shut up Jake, it’s all that facial hair of yours that’s putting me off." She tucked at his little beard.

Noooooo!!! Don’t leave us hanging now! Great story.
Excellent story and depth of emotion from such a young’un!. Keep it coming. Do well on your exams. They are really important for your future. Sorry to sound like a Mom.LOL.
I was ready to knock the crap out of the ad on the 2nd page for taking up so much room. Anyway, let’s hope Tina is alright. Even better, what if she’s right behind Bette? Fofofo… ;)
Great chapter, although a bit too much suspense for leaving us for so long. I don’t know how we are going to cope while you do your exams but I suppose we’ll have to. May your exams go ridiculously well and leave you elated and buzzing with excess creative energy that needs to be channelled into writing more chapters! Seriously I hope they go well and enjoy your celebrations but please don’t injure your typing fingers! Thanks again for writing.
i hope tina is fine…does alice has more than one “I did Bette Porter” shirt? because i wold like to have one
please don’t leave us hanging to long… what a place to stop… love this story…
C’est le milieu de la nuit ici, je ne trouvais pas le sommeil… maintenant je vais faire de beaux reves… J’adore ton histoire!
I hate math but that counts if I leave several comments? :)Please post soon
I love this story….please don’t leave us hanging for too long. I’m sure you can a fit another chapter in soon. :)
I thought for sure the director was going to say, “Sorry, we didn’t have film in the camera. Can we take that again?”…Nice cliffie. Very nice cliffie!
Well, it was about time that Tina called. But I should have known that something happened to her. Now, you tell us that you are leaving us for awhile. You are totally bumming me out with that kind of talk. Can’t you just tell your instructors that you have a story to right. Oh well, I know how teachers are (I should know, but it is only PE). They think that their subject is the most important thing besides breathing. Now, I will be dreaming until you return to us. Have fun.
glad to c ur post1
You can’t leave us hangin, More more, more.
Noc – love you for your wonderful story and all, but that was just mean…
I’m enjoying this b/t tale. I hope we will be seeing them get together soon. Thanks for writing.

What a cliffy, you can’t leave us like that LOL…..you capture the girls emotions so well, I’m really impressed by your writing – especially when thinking about your age, I would never have guessed for 17 :o)) Good luck with the exams, if it goes as great as your writing, then you’ve nothing to worry about!!!! Post when you can, I’m dying to hear the rest off their conversation….
You so cannot just leave us hanging like this. I mean okay, you have final exams those are important, but so is the blood pressure level for some of us. Please don’t let anything be wrong with Tina, except maybe she broke up with Eric, that would be good.
Good chapter. Poor Bette and what happen to Tina now!
