Tina felt the lump in her throat again and swallowed to get rid of it. Bette gave her a small smile of encouragement, but she did not like where the story was going. ‘Please don’t let anything have happened to David!’
"The ball must have hit some sort of irregularity on the pavement, ‘because next thing I knew David was running after his ball onto the street and…"
Tears were welling up in Tina’s eyes again.
"Oh my God! He’s alright, though, right? T? He’s got to be alright!"
Bette had jumped up and forgot for a moment she was supposed to be calming Tina down, not the other way around.
"Yes. Yes he is. He was unconscious all the way to the hospital and they were running tests on him all afternoon and making all these scans. Turns out he’s got a concussion and some bruises. They’re keeping him overnight to make sure everything is really okay, but he’s going to be fine."
"Thank god!"
Bette was silent for a moment processing the information
"You must have gone through hell, though, not knowing if he was alright."
"I’m just glad he’s okay. I don’t know what I would’ve done if…"
"No, you can’t think like that, T!"
Bette wanted nothing more than to be able to hug Tina to comfort her, but she didn’t think that would be appropriate. Tina was still with Eric and they hadn’t talked about the kiss yet either. Bette was not sure she could contain herself if she were to hug Tina. Tina did look as if she needed to be comforted, though. She still looked rather upset. ‘I thought everything turned out alright?’ Bette pondered. ‘Wait…’
"You’re not blaming yourself for this, are you T?"
Tina looked down at her feet, avoiding Bette’s eyes. Another tear made its way down her cheek.
"How can I not? I mean, we’re lucky it’s not more serious, but David is still hurt and Gloria will have to take some personal days to take care of him, which she can’t afford to do because her employer doesn’t compensate for missed overtime and there’s the hospital bill and Gloria’s too proud to…"
Tina didn’t finish her sentence, but broke into tears again. This time Bette didn’t hesitate to hold Tina.
"Shhh, it’s alright, T. You just let me take care of that, okay? It’s still not your fault. No matter how many times you tell a child not to run out onto the street or how closely you watch them, sometimes they need to learn the hard way. The only thing you can hope for is a happy ending."
Bette kept holding Tina and comforting her until she finally calmed down.
"Let’s just be grateful he’s going to be fine, okay?"
Suddenly Bette got that feeling again about it being inappropriate for her to be holding Tina like this and she awkwardly broke away from the hug.
"So…eh, I guess I’ll be going then now that you’re alright."
This time Bette was the one to look at her feet and avoid looking at Tina. She was still confused about Tina’s call. Why would she want Bette here to comfort her when she thought their kiss was a mistake? After ignoring Bette’s attempt to reach out, it was obvious she wanted to make it work with Eric.
"There’s actually more. And we need to talk about it."
"About what?" Bette unconvincingly played dumb.
"You know about what."
Bette nervously fumbled her fingers and stammered: "I…eh…get it. We don’t need to talk about it."
It was time for Tina to take charge. She covered Bette’s fumbling finger with her own, brought the thumb and index finger of her free hand to Bette’s chin to force Bette’s eyes to meet hers and said: "Yes, we do."

You write really well especially (Not trying to sound patronizing) for an 18 yr. old. You’re entering medical school @ 18 w/o going for an undergrad degree? You must be a freakin’ genius. No wonder you write so well. Keep the story coming.

So glad your back and all in one piece! Congrats on your graduation, birthday, and starting med school in the fall! Wow! I love this story and your writing. I’m continuing to hope as you suggested; thus I hope Tina has something good to tell Bette here. You do realize how frustrating it is when you drop the story right in the middle of a life-altering conversation, right? Of course you do – that’s why you did it! LOL! Can’t wait for more!
You left me there, Mrs. Lambert! You had me there, on the edge of my seat, and you left me there!
Oh boy am I glad to see an update to this story! Yipppppiiiiieeeee! It is pure torture waiting, wanting and craving for even the smallest crumb. LOL! But, hey… I’ll take whatever you give me. Thanks for the update. I am excited about how this relationship will progress. It is very endearing to see someone who we may think is very confident, actually stutter and become a rambling idiot like us mere unknown mortals. I love Bette in this story. She is so adorable when she is nervous. I could just hug her! Please, update soon.
