The Journey 55
Tina: I have been watching Bette and Laurel for the last five minutes. I tell myself Bette won’t leave because she loves the girls too much. Am I trying to convince myself, no one else surely believes that. I see them turn around and make their way up to the house. I make my way to the bathroom, not wanting Bette to think I had been spying on her. God, I’d forgotten how beautiful she is, seeing her play with
Bette: I slide the door open. “Shhhhh, the others are still sleeping.” I say with my finger over my mouth.
Bette: “Pancakes or omlette?”
Bette: “OK, you get the eggs out of the fridge” I whisper as I get the coffee out. I see the bathroom door open rather unexpectedly. “Hi”
Tina: “Hi”
Bette: “Did we wake you?” And I notice Tina looks very tired.
Tina: “No, not at all.”
Bette: “You OK? You look tired.” As
Tina: “I’m OK, I just didn’t sleep well and I got up a couple of times to Jennifer.”
Bette: “You should have woken me up.” I crack the eggs into the bowl I see Tina looking at me. “I was going to cook breakfast.” I say rather helplessly.
Tina: I start to laugh. “Oh no you don’t Porter, I may be tired but I do not need food poisoning as well.”
Bette: “The thanks we get kiddo.” I say with mock unhappiness to
Tina: “Did you have a good walk
Tina: “Did she?” and I look at Bette.
Bette: I shrug my shoulders.
Tina: “Do you guys want to shower before breakfast?”
Bette: Laurel and I look at each and simultaneously shake our heads and bits of sand fly out. I put finger over my lip and shake my head.
Tina: “Maybe after breakfast then.”
Bette: And I always wondered how Tina did that.
Bette: “It’s good. Thanks Tee.”
Tina: “I’m glad you are enjoying it.” I can’t help but notice the similarities between the two of them, the mocha skin, the beautiful soulful eyes that tell a story without a word ever being spoken and that hair.
Bette: “Did you want to shower while we clean up?”
Tina: “Is that OK?” I snap out of my thoughts.
Bette: “No problem, hey kiddo?”
Tina: I can’t help but laugh.
Bette: While Tina is in the shower I check on Jennifer, I spend a minute looking at her, so small, delicate and dependant. “We will get through this” I promise her out loud. I hear the shower running.
Tina: “The warm shower is good, Bette was right I am tired. I think about breakfast as the water pelts down on me. I push my hair back and let the water run onto my face. “I won’t let you go Bette, this family fall apart, not without a fight.” I say out loud.

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!
I love this story. Thanks for posting more regularly.

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