    Summer Vacation. Chapter 24

    All Lottie could think of was her own first encounter with Roger and the men from the Trust, how small and ridiculous they made her feel, how nothing, and her father too, when she said she was going to find Bette, how he’d told her that she was looking for something she’d never find, how she was searching for something that died and she had to learn to live with that,

    “Wait …” said Bette, as Lottie made a move toward the door,

    Lottie paused, “I have to go … I don’t feel well,”

    “Fine …” said Bette, annoyed, “I have to get back to my father,”

    “Fine,” replied Lottie, to Bette’s retreating back, she shut the door loudly behind her,

    Tina sighed, there was something about the two of them that made her want to knock both their heads together, their stubbornness only ever seemed to encourage the other one on, how they’d ever manage in a business type situation together she had no idea,

    Bette sat back down next to her father, audibly huffing at Lottie’s sudden departure,

    “What a nice girl …” said Melvin, to no one in particular, “It would be nice to see her again before I go …”

    Tina and Kit looked to one another before surveying Bette’s crossed arms and surly frown,

    “Perhaps …” said Kit, not sounding too hopeful, “let’s eat shall we?”

    Lottie drove around for a while before she began to calm down, she turned the music and the air con up, letting the combination of noise and chill, calm her flushed face, bloody Bette,

    She took a swift left and headed toward Jo’s, ever so slightly afraid of turning up there again in such a state, wondering if Jo would reach the probable conclusion that Lottie’s baggage was destined to get in the way of them ever having a fun time together,

    Only Jo wasn’t there, Lottie vaguely recalled her saying something about visiting her Mom. She paused for a moment on the step outside Jo’s apartment, realising that she knew very little about Jo’s family yet she was pushing her own onto Jo all the time,

    She sat back in the car, her knees pulled up to her chin as her tears flowed freely, lost within the confines of the quiet car. Why did Bette get to be the one who everyone hugged and soothed and assured it would ‘be okay’, it didn’t feel okay, all it proved was that in four short weeks she’s succeeded in fucking up Bette’s life as well as her own,

    1. well this is fantastically well written. the only problem with it is that helena and bette aren’t together. *slapping knee* no, but seriously, this is really really good. i’m going to have to go back over it all and refresh my understandings of the characters, but this is definately phase 1 of my tibette research. no, you have not captured me onto your ship–i just happen to love your writing sofa!

    2. Fantastic update. Bette doesn have a tendency to take over, but at least Tina helped her realize it. That was a different Melvin. Lottie and Joe are so cute.

    3. ya a post…..little old T horny and frustrated….. B should have to pay for that and not necessarily in a good way. T should make her work for it, really work for it!!! SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO UR NEST POST!!!

    4. Fantastic Sofa! Gosh I really enjoy this story! I thought for sure you were going to add some type of twist with Melvin! lol I would like to meet Lottie’s father and him and Bette have a go. But I am guessing if it happens it won’t be for a while. Post soon and I am sure you will do fine on your finals!

    5. One more thing, call me childish but whenever you reference Lisa in the looney bin I chuckle. It’s not funny, but it’s funny considering her occupation. :)

    6. ok, had to chuckle at helebette’s ‘research’… you know she secretly rides this ship. ;) Fantastic as usual, my partner in Tibette crime. Now let’s just hope Bette doesn’t bite Alice’s head off, huh?

    7. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Wow, I was thrilled to see you had posted! And then the AN… Thank you! I’m slowly getting better but still need a lot of rest and this chap’ was soooooo what was needed! I love this… It went quite well with Melvin… I understand Lottie’s break down though. I also understand Bette’s concern about her father who is an old man now, but maybe it’s time that Bette sees that it’s not about two different families anymore, and that she and Lottie have to form a unit in order to make it all right again… But I know you’ll take care of that one way or another, dear Sofa! I love how Tina always makes Bette see some sense… And I think it’s awfully cute how you make your wise and steady Tina get all horny and frustrated. It gives a great rythm to the B/T dynamic! Finally, I thought the ring thing was really nice and I hope that Lottie will give it to Bette, that would be such a perfect token of Bette’s legitimacy in her mother’s legacy… Anyway, great chapter and thank you so much for making my sick time much better! ;)

    8. At least Bette’s come to her senses a bit, and is seeing how Lottie might be feeling. I’m relieved Melvin wasn’t all harsh and forbidding like he used to be… Jo and Lottie are too cute! Great update sofa, thanks! (Love the story, but I can wait for posts, I’d rather you did well on your finals… study!)

    9. While I understand and agree that Bette may not have thought about Lottie’s feelings the entire time…i think you’ve pointed out that Melvin deserved the way Bette was treating it, cuz no matter how full her life is..she is being faced with a young woman who her own mother raised until she couldn’t…that was somthing more Bette never had and can never get back. Lottie not having Bette growing sucked, but she still at an age where Bette can make a difference and she is gaining the entire crew as family…it just seems to me that people are telling Bette Hey…don’t forget Lottie..(which i get and is right) but human emotions are human emotions and i don’t care how old you are, knowing that your mother abandoned you and raised another child until her death…is well…it’s a bitter taste that is hard to get out. And while Bette is happy with Tina and Angie…I would imagine it still would make for a rough time dealing with her father and her own emotions. Thanks for this story.

    10. I just got caught up on this story and I LOVE IT. Yes in deed, what would Bette do without Tina. I hope that Bette and Lottiespend a couple of hours talking and Lottie tell her the story of the two rings (That was SO triffling what her father did with the other ring. What a jerk). Bette should alsotell Lottie what Melvin said and that he would like to see her again. With all of his previous short comings, Lottie’s father makes Melvin look like a prime catch. PPS :o).

    11. First of all I love all of your Tibette heart. Second of all, you have given us the family that we all want for Tibette. Even Melvin has mellowed. Lottie and Bette can become true sisters by standing up to their grandfather’s family. I also love the fact that Lottie feels like she should return the ring that Melvin gave to her mother. In one sense I hope that Melvin will let Lottie continue to wear it. Lottie needs to have that connections to someone who loved her. Hopefully Bette and the rest of the gang will continue to allow Lottie into their family.

    12. Oh, I just thought of something. Maybe the reason that Lottie’s father took the ring back is that he knew that Maxine’s heart would always belong to this other man, “Melvin”. Maybe Maxine mentioned that she left a child that she loved with all of her heart but could not remain with her. It sounds like Maxine never did get over Melvin and Bette and when Lottie came about Maxine had trouble dealing with the fact that she had left behind an important part of her life in Bette. The impression that I get from Lottie is that Maxine was stand offish.
