    The Journey 2

    I shower and throw on some smart jeans and a tee shirt, I put my hair and make my way to Milk. If the others are there, so be it, sooner or later we will have to deal with each other. I know it is getting late because when I get there the crowd has thinned out. There are those with someone or trying to pick someone up. I order a dry Martini and take a look around.

    Shane : “Bette, Jesus Christ Bette, is that really you ?” Shane just about squashes me in the hug, momentarily losing her composure. She regains it just as quickly.

     Bette : “Hey Shane. It is really me”

     Shane : “when did you get in, do the others know, they aren’t here, I mean here at Milk”

     I am momentarily relived and disappointed.

     Shane : “Lets blow this joint and go catch up”

     Bette : “what about her ?” I lean my head in the direction of the woman Shane was with.

    Shane : “Give me two minutes”

    True to her word, two minutes and she was back. I told Shane I was staying at the house and we made our way there, grabbing some beers on the way. We sat on the front steps like we did when things were bad. We drank and smoked and mostly caught up but the question hung in the air like the great white elephant in a room.

    Bette : “How is she Shane ?” I ask Shane because no one else will be as honest as Shane.

     Shane : “Good, you know Bette, you should call her, really. Does she even know you are here ?”

     Bette : “No”. Those two little letters were the concessions that I no longer belong to Tina and her to me, I did not feel compelled to tell her I was here, yet at the same time, I was dying inside to see her.

    Shane : “She is good Bette, but you know not good like when”

    Bette : “Don’t, Shane, really, don’t. It’s too hard.” I say honestly. “Is she with anyone ?”

    Shane : Getting up because now it is nearly 5am “You know Bette, you really should talk to her about that.”

    1. She could feel something is different, so she and the little girl goes to the house. A potted plant on the step. How will Bette react to Tina and a little girl. thanks

    2. Thank you for writing a piece about the processing of pain in a relationship – it’s more true to life. You write well and the piece is evocative and sensitive to the characters. Cheers

    3. I love it so far! I love how you’re able to paint a picture in mentioning small details, like the plants…I can’t wait for the next chapter! I’m wondering if Tina is with someone (please not Helena!) or if she, like Bette, isn’t able to commit to anyone else…hmmm…it will be fun to see where you go with this. Thanks!
