The Burden of Control – Chapter 2
Kit was half expecting Bette to move back with her, but Bette had resigned herself to the realities of her life and stayed. It wasnt until about two weeks later that Kit realized that Bettes new habits may have dictated her decision to stay away. She had arrived one night to bring Bette dinner from The Planet, but found the house empty. She waited hours for Bette to come home and was about to leave when she hear a car door slam. A minute later Bette Porter walked through the front door. Drunk.
Kit: Bette, what the *****?
Bette: What are you doing here? Last I checked this was my house.
Kit: Youre drunk. I cant believe you. Did you drive home?
Bette: Kit, Im not drunk. I had a tough day at work. I went out and kicked back a few. But Im far from drunk. (pauses) And yes, I did drive. But I was only coming from a few blocks away. It was fine.
At first glance, Bette did appear fine. But upon closer inspection, Kit could see the glaze over her eyes and the slight slurring together of her words. Things were much worse than she thought. She immediately flashed back to the night Tina had left Bette. Walking into Bettes house to find her sister despondent, sitting on the couch. Bette had been drinking then. God, had she been drinking this whole time? All those nights she walked in late, saying that she had stayed late at work to get things done. Was she out drinking instead? Getting drunk and then recklessly driving back to Kits. God, why hadnt she noticed? Shouldnt she have known? Kit had enough experience with alcohol to spot an alcoholic. Was Bette one of those people? Maybe it was just as Bette had said…maybe it was just the one time. It didn’t matter…if it wasn’t already a problem, it still had the potential to become one if Bette continued to drink away her “tough days”.
Bette: Is there a particular reason you decided to come over?
Kit: I brought you dinner.
Bette: Thanks. Ill have to reheat it tomorrow. I’m going to bed. I have an early meeting tomorrow. Feel free to stay if you want. You can have the spare bedroom.

WOW GREAT JOB…THANKS POST SOON…
Oh damn this is so good and love it!

Great chapter. Poor Bette. I like the emotion from her in this. Things just didn’t happen the way I thought they would on the show. I like this better :)
oooh…first to post! Again!
hahahaha “Tina’s sleeping with Franklin?”…that’s great. I love Kit, she’s too funny. So I gather that whole “Bette brings Tina flowers at teh C.A.C, goes off on Helena, and finds out about the pregnancy” doesn’t happen in your story? I like the flashbacks, are you going to have one when she finds out about the pregnancy?
I’m glad Kit’s there for Bette. Hope the girls come around. Haha, like Bette said… they could call her, or mail her, or stop by and see her.
Great update. Can’t wait for the next installment (we will find out why Bette’s at the doctor, right?)
like this story!!
Damm girl this shit if fucking great, I’m glad kit is there so bette can vent.
Ok so maybe if you stop proofreading your writing so much you could post sooner?? Just a though. I don’t care if you mis spell a word, or don’t have a coma. LMFAO at kit’s “tina’s sleeping with franklin”
You left us with a cliffy don’t tell me your one of those mean writer who likes to make us sweat for the next update LOL, don’t worry I will still be here waiting for the next one.
YOUR doing a great job!!!
I love your version. I love Bette and Kit’s interaction, that was something the show was missing last season concerning Bette’s affair.
I can’t wait for the next installment.
