The Door – Chapter 2
As the emotions over took me I lay down on the bed and while clutching the shirt tightly I cried like I had not cried in nearly two years. I’m not sure how long I lay there, but I must have fallen asleep as when I next opened my eyes, it was now dark in the room. Gone was the warmth of the sun that had been so inviting earlier that day. Looking down at my hands I saw the shirt that I still held tightly. I took one more deep breath and lay it back down on the bed.
I slowly stood and walked back to the door. As I reached for the door handle I turned to take one more look at the one time place of sanctuary in my life. Thinking to myself that perhaps one day it would be again. Continuing on I left the room, closing the door behind me. I vowed that starting the next day, I would return and begin to take back the pieces of my life that I had left behind in that room.
Two weeks later…….
My progress has been slow. An unexpected trip for work interrupted my plans to restore the room behind the door. So here I was late one Saturday afternoon standing at the door once again, but this time with boxes in hand. I figured that if I could slowly start to clear away the things that stirred the bad memories that maybe one day I could reclaim that once special place and make it mine. Clearing one drawer at a time I began to fill the boxes and stacked them near the door.
I had some soft music playing in the background and at first did not hear the knock at the door. When the door bell rang I carried the latest box filled with memories and placed it with the others before heading to see who was at my door.
When I opened the door, I saw the last person I ever truly expected to be standing there.
“Hi.”
“Tina. Hi.”
I stood rooted to my spot, not sure if my mind was playing tricks on me or not. Was really standing before me. I blinked. Yes, there she was.

Tazzie what a treat to come home to! I love the familiarity between these two beautiful women. I cannot wait to read Bette’s explanation about why that door has remained closed, and better yet…the response from Tina when she learns just why. Loving it as usual. {hugs}
Love this chapter, At least Bette was clearing the things out,after two yrs. So glad that Tina came by. Bette needed that. Tina seem to have gotten on with her life. Now its time for Bette to do so Why would she ask Bette the question,when in her heart she knows why, If I had a daughter instead of sons,she would have ckean the room, Men are wimps. When it came to their Dad Thaks so much for posting,
I am with bettyvhall on the fact that it is time for Bette to get on with her life. Why would Tina want to know about her old room? Thanks PPS
I can’t wait for the next chapter…this story had got me. pps
Wow another chapter Taz. I was hoping that you had written one. Like Chicki I can’t wait to find out what Bette has to say.
My question is how did Tina know that Bette had closed off thier room? It looks like while Tina has asked Helen to keep their yalks secret, she was gtting information from Helen about Bette. I think that she asked the question because while she have moved on she may see a way of moving back and starting a new. PPS :o).
So she knows! It must have been Helena that told her since she was the only one to see her while she was in NY. That was beautifully written and told Taz. Waiting for the next one.
Why would Tina possibly inflict more pain on Bette when she already knows the answer. She can hardly be surprised. Can hardly wait for Bette’s answer and Tina’s reaction to the answer. PPS
God I am hooked….great chapter sweetie…I really can’t wait for the next one..there is nothing like the loss of your first love and to be able to find it and rekindle it is a true blessing in life!!
I love this fic! My eyes always tear up by the end of the chapter.. and there have only been to!! So so so very good!
