Your laptop. Its here. You must have left it behind. Said Tina. Well I assume its yours?
Oh, Yes. I was wondering where it was, Tina. And I wondered how long it would be before you called me.
Her insides started to shake.
How are you Tina?
Bettes voice was as intoxicating as ever.
Great, she said. Really busy. I have a lot to do, so I cant talk long.
She wondered what she was going to cook for dinner, and looked down at her at her feet, with their bright red nail varnish.
Look, please Tina, said Bette, crowding the words in to Tinas head. I can be there in minutes, I really need it, please wait in for me.
She always did have a way of soft talking Tina.
I have to go out, really, I cant. Tina insisted.
Tina, Please. She commanded.
Tina put down the phone and left the room.
She couldnt find her keys at first, and then there they were laying on the table in the dining room, she held them tightly, picked up the laptop, placed it by the front door, ran to her car, and drove off. She could have sworn she passed Bettes car half way up the road, but she didnt dare look back to see if Bette was in it.
She parked the car at the nearest shopping mall, and wandered aimlessly around the perfect little shops, where perfectly manicured assistants waited eagerly to give you their full attention.
She stopped at the cosmetics counter and smeared cream on the back of her hands, and thought Ellie would soon be smearing cream on the back of her hand. She remembered how as a teenager she would go shopping with her friends and try out all the perfumes and creams until eventually the shop assistant would shoo them away. She wished at that moment, she was a teenager, and that she could live her life again, only this time she would do things differently.
The laptop was gone when she arrived home, and Tina gave a huge sigh of relief, she had half expected Bette to be sat in her car keeping vigil until she came back. She knew deep down she was living on borrowed time, and that she would inevitably have to face Bette, but avoiding her at this giving moment for whatever excuse she could think of was the only plausible answer, she had.
Her next door, neighbour appeared out of nowhere.
A rather beautiful woman was here looking for you, Tina. Bette Porter. She said, searching Tinas eyes for any clues as to whom, this woman was. You left her laptop outside, she said. She was very angry.
Thank you. Tina said, and walked in to the house.
Around Three oclock that afternoon Tina went to pick Ellie up from school.
Mom, I went on the Internet today, and I found something about youre old girlfriend, the one who stayed at our house last night. Ellie looked at her mother and smiled.
Well, Im going to be a gallery owner, when I get older. Said Ellie. And Im going to live a life like Bette Porter. She said. But Im never going to get married and have a child.

awww that’s so cute..I just luv Ellie. She is like a mini bette!
I really like this story…but, it is heartbreaking. It’s a good pain though, and that’s because of your writing. Thanks.
I really like this story. I hope Bette gets to be apart of Ellie’s life, and Tina’s.
OK you have 45 minutes to post again. LOL… It was wonderful. Thanks.
Aw, shut the fuck up TK, LOL. just cos you get to watch it, i have to wait while june. ( yes i am cryng)
man, tina you can’t avoid her forever now your daughter wants to be just like her, haha. great update!
That’s crying, i can’t see through my tears.
Great. the way Tina “ran” away from waiting for Bette, I hope you’re gonna lead them back to each other,there’s such chemistry there, and I can’t wait for your juicy details.
Just read the last few chapters and all i can say is, i agree with every comment above… you have written them all so well.
Hey I’m with you Hunty having to wait until June – sadly I haven’t been able to stay away from the series so I won’t ne surpised by the “fridge scence”. Anyho this was great but have I gotten the wrong end of the stick with that last sentence from Ellie? “But I’m never going to get married and have a child.†DUH! C’mon c’mon has Bette gone and done it with somebody else. Post at once!
Ellie is a sweetheart, and I’m sure will be the catalyst for B&T
I am all caught up now, I’m a dork I commented on the other chapters too. I love the story and I love how you’re pacing Tina’s denial and pain over Bette. Plus you’ve made Ellie and Helena into truly interesting characters as well. Thanks
Great chapter. Love Ellie.
Tina you need to stop running away and talk to Bette.
Ellie is a smart 10 year old, i hope she is the catalyst that brings B&T back together.
Thank you.
Good chapter. I really like Eleii and she just like Bette. Ok so how long Tina is going to keep avoid Bette, it’s 10 years and now it’s time to face it and talk about it. Post soon, thanks!
