Stained – Chapter 14
Alice had intended to give Bette yet another lecture on the importance of punctuality – she always seemed to forget she was never quite on time herself – but even she could see that Bette was not up for it. She had a very serious, pensive look on her face and her eyes where staring somewhere beyond Alice.
"You do realize that pensive wrinkle of yours is going to be permanent soon, don’t you?"
"Hmm?" Bette grumbled absentmindedly.
"Never mind."
It didn’t take the others long to notice Bette’s strange mood. She was there physically but not mentally. Questions directed at Bette had to be repeated and the answers were short and vague. Shane had been giving Alice the ‘don’t go there’ look, but Alice just couldn’t take it anymore.
"Okay, Porter, open up. You can do it! Think Nescafe. You’ve been acting weird all evening and you’ve been short on the phone all week. And I don’t just mean the usual ‘it’s 7 a.m. and Alice is calling me’ short, you were short on office hours too!"
Shane sighed deeply and raised her hands in despair.
"It’s alright, Shane. I kind of need to talk about this anyway. Don’t make too much out of it, though. I’m an emotional wreck after the scene I did today, so I’ll deny everything when I feel like me again," Bette said almost defeated. She didn’t have the energy to pretend nothing was up and besides, she really did want to talk about it.
Bette proceeded by telling her friend all about her little trailer-encounter with Tina. "I kissed her. No, she kissed me…I think." She didn’t leave anything out, not even the card and when she was done, even Alice was quiet.
"Wow," Dana finally said. "Looks like you really put yourself out there for a change."
"Now that I’ve told you all about it, can we maybe talk about something else? Tell me a story or something." Bette’s sharing mood had passed and she hoped for a little distraction.
"Wanna french me to get your mind off things?"
Shane groaned. Alice knew this was serious when she didn’t even get a ‘Been there, done that, got the t-shirt’ reply from Bette. Actually, Alice had been the one with the ‘I did Bette Porter’ t-shirt, but after she seeing the look on Bette’s face, she decided it would probably be best not to leave the house with it. Maybe she could wear it to take Bette’s mind off Tina?
Yes, Alice was a good friend. She always meant well, but every good intention had to pass through her wicked brain first, so it never came out quite as well as she had intended it.
However, before Alice could suggest her brilliant plan to the others, Bette’s phone rang.
"Hello," Bette sighed apathetically.
Suddenly she seemed to wake up from her melancholia and her eyes became alert again.
"Tina? Where are you? Is everything alright?"
TBC…

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…

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!
Love this story – but exams come first! Both my kids are in exam mode at the moment too – so I do sympathise. Have a great time in Portugal and will be waiting impatiently for your next chapter.
