The Journey 55
Tina: And I have to ask. “Do you want to work this out Bette?”
Bette: I consider all the options. “Truthfully?”
Tina: “Yes, ofcourse, truthfully.”
Bette: “I’m not sure.” I say eyes looking down.
Tina: I get up from the table rather abruptly. “Why did you bother to come then Bette?”
Bette: “Excuse me?” and I am genuinely surprised I am getting tone, when I am the one wronged. I thought we were being honest, perhaps a little too much honesty.
Tina: “If you are not sure if you want this relationship, why did you come here, with me, with us?”
Bette: And I am genuinely confused. “I thought that is what we were to work out Tina. If we wanted to save the relationship and even then, if it can be saved. A lot has happened Tina in the last few years.” I feel no anger, just sadness.
Tina: “I appreciate your honesty Bette.” I say full of sarcasm. I start to make my way to the bedroom after slamming my plate on the sink.”
Bette: “Tina, wait. Tina, hey, come on.” And I reach out and lightly grab Tina’s arm as she makes her way past.
Tina: I wriggle my arm free and Bette offers no resistance. “That’s the truth Bette, you have been unsure about this relationship for years.”
Bette: “That’s not true Tina.” I say heartfelt to a closed door. And I wonder how this will make anything better. I look at the old pathetic couch and back at the bedroom door and wonder if I should go in and say good night. I decide against. The only advantage to the couch is the magnificent view that it offers. I hop under the blanket and turn so I am facing the sea. I love the dark, so ominous and strong. I hear the smallest waves crashing in. I crane my neck, unlike earlier, there are a few clouds and I see less stars than I saw before. Could Tina really believe that I have been ambivalent about our relationship? I realize it is later than I thought. I snuggle in for the night. Even though I have been home for months and sleeping in the same bed as Tina, I adjust quickly to sleeping alone again. I look out the window but in a matter of minutes fall asleep.

Hey its great that you gonna update every week..i really missed this story. They need to stay toguether :)
I love it. The feeling is so raw and so real. You can’t be always sure of everything. Sometimes you just live your life, whatever it is.
I’m glad you posted. I love this story and miss it when you’re gone. I can feel these characters. Hope you post again soon.
Thanks for the update and glad to know you will continue with your story. Please let them see their way through this.
they better start fighting for each other then, before it’s too late
Good chapter. Now let them talk more and work thing out and be a family agian. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Way to go Tina, stand and fight for what you want. If you want all your girls together then brake out the battle materials. Just having the girls should be one point for Tina. Bette also does not want to loose her girls and that includes Tina. I am glad that you will try and post weekly. Thanks.
I love the tense atmosphere you capture so perfectly, the way that at any moment the conversation can turn and things get pointed or heated. I really love the peaceful moments in between when you give us enough hope to keep on reading this great story. I am looking forward to watching them heal again. Keep on writing – it’s wonderful.
I love love love this story!! Please write soon!!
This is a wonderful, powerful story. The setting near the ocean adds to the somberness and raw feelings. And it helps expose their true feelings. Please continue posting.
lovely – you give me hope.
It’s good to see Bette bonding with Laurel. Both Bette and Tina seems to be willing to make an effort to have their family together although there’s anger and uncertainty between them. But if they’re willing, that’s half the battle. Right?? Thanks for the update and hope to read the next chapter soon.
i hope they can fix this. Glad that you will continue post this is a good story!

They have the same goal, now if they can only agree to reach it together.
