“Bette…” Alice is the first to open her mouth.
“What? Alice? What else do you want to say?”
Alice points at Bette’s hand, when she slaps the table, a fork accidentally stuck into her hand. The blood slowly floats out and Bette seems entirely insensible of the sting.
Because deep down, she’s already injured.
Its fucking hurts that nothing can really compare.
Bette takes a deep breath, calming down a bit, she uses a napkin to tie it around her hand. Neglect her friends who’re astonished, she finishes the rest of her coffee as if nothing happened in the previous moment.
Then her phone starts to ring, looking at the caller ID, Bette sighs.
“Sorry, guys.” Bette starts to gather her stuff. “Duty call, I have to go.”
The brunette stands up, throwing some money on the table.
“Order anything you want, it’s on me.” She forces a smile, turns around and leaves.
Alice stares blankly at the messing table, for the very first time, the noisy blonde is speechless.
What the fuck? She thinks.
This is not the Bette Porter she has known for years.
Bette tapping on her high heels, walking out the planet to her blue Saab.
While she unlocks her car door, she sees Dana running out of the café.
“Bette, Bette!” The athlete yells. “Wait!”
“Dane?” Bette slightly frowns.
“Bette,” Dana tries to catch her breath by running so fast. “Wait a minute.”
Bette looks at her friend’s girlfriend painting, says nothing.
“Look, I’m sorry for what Al has said, she didn’t mean it.”
“Well, that’s not what I’ve heard.”
“Yeah, sometimes she’s an ass.” Dana chuckles.
Bette only raises her eyebrow, facial appearance none changing, clearly not a big fan of the joke.
Dana sighs. “Look, Bette, I’m really sorry for everything, it’s just…you and Al are good friends, she…”
“Were,” Bette cut in. “Alice and I were good friends.”
“Fine, were.” Dana emphasized. “But you see, she’s worried about you, we are all worried about you.”
“Thank you, but no need to.”
Bette turns and ready to step in the car, suddenly Dana grabs her arm, a sharp sting of tearing pain emerges from her arm, Bette winces in pain, the athlete loosens her grip in instant.

I am confused. Is this the end of the story? I am so lost with this one. Can someone please let me know?
I had to read through some parts a few times to try to understand what was going on in this. But I’m still a bit confused as well. From what I’ve gathered, Tina is still clearly alive but we just don’t know why her and Bette are separated and why Bette can’t find her. Was the note about the address something recent that Tina sent to Bette? And if it is, why isn’t Bette using her skills to find it!!!
I know Tina would probably have to be in hiding but I don’t understand why she would be MIA to Bette.
Also please don’t let Bette go see Candace, that is something I’d rather not relive again lol. Thanks for posting!
Absolutely agree with all what said JBLH – i’m too confused about all of this questions – how they separated and why Bette not try to find Tina?
And i also agree about Candance – maybe in this story Bette would be woman enough and not sleep with her
I have been confused many times in trying to follow this story! There are so many story lines that are incomplete, missing information for me to draw conclusions or follow the logic of the writer. This entry is no different. I enjoy being left with a cliffhanger or being left wanting more. I am tired of having to go back and read again believing I missed something only to realize it isn’t there. I have decided to give up! I am finished with this story! Sorry, I wanted closure and I can’t see it.
Hi CJ,
Amazing chapter and i am sure you will reveal what happened with Tina. For me it was not a chapter that confused me, maybe for the others because you switch from present time to what happened 3 months ago. But you used a different type style for it.
Why didn’t Bette looked for Tina already, hmm, i think because of her time spent in the hospital and it doesn’t seem wise that they see each other that soon, it could bring them both unwanted attention. Tina needs to hide for awhile and i believe Tasha is with her.
Where ever Tina is, i hope she gets the help and support to fight the drug addiction as well for the deep trauma’s she went through all her life.
And please, please i beg you to let Bette not be involved with Candace, other than as a friend and boss.
I love Dana, a true friend. Alice is getting on my nerves, she never knows when to stop talking, she has a good heart but doesn’t know when to support a friend by just giving a hug or be still.
I am looking forward to the next chapter, please update asap!!!
Hi CJ. Please keep on writing. I will keep on reading till the end. I have faith in you that you will bring back Tina to Bette.
Hi CJ:
Great chapter, Oh my God, you are good at making me feel enthralled in this story. Now I want to know more about how Tina escaped.
I want you to know that I’m not confused, with your writing, on the contrary, I understand your style and I know this story is non-apt for people with heart disease.
What I understand very well is that Bette and Tina survived the attack of the Cooper’s fortress, and that, thanks to God, Sebastian Cooper is dead and hopefully deep in hell.
I believe that Tina and Bette are far away from each other because of their safety and I believe that Tina is still working on her revenge against the bad guys.
I don’t like Bette accepting Candace invitation, but I expect that ‘nothing’ happen in their meeting.
Oh my God, that Alice; I have read many ‘Alices’ characters in different stories here, but this Alice I really don’t like, but it’s fine with me if you keep her so vain and stupid (any way someone has to be the ‘dumb guy’, right?)
Well, CJ, thanks for the chapter and I’ll be waiting for the update eagerly.

CJ, this story is so intriguing. Thank you for keeping us guessing, but you are slowly filling in the pieces. Wherever Tina is would make sense that Bette wouldn’t know because she has to be in hiding. Aaron can’t be trusted that he would not use Bette to find Tina if they were to get together now. The authorities have to be convinced that Jodi is Justine and that Bette hasn’t turned. She’s still playing a part and Tina is still pulling strings behind the scenes. Kelly’s money is probably paying for Tina’s treatment and setting up her new life. I understand Bette’s suffering and agony because Tina was in such bad shape when she had to let her go. She has to trust that Tasha, Shane and Carmen are taking care of her and getting her off the drugs. They are both broken, but they were reunited before, I believe you will bring them back together again. I also hope Tina has something special planned for Aaron. He needs to suffer and be destroyed. Please come back soon. Like everyone else I hope Bette doesn’t get sexually involved with Candace. Alice is an ass, always thinking that all Bette’s problems can be solved by getting laid. She’s not a true friend, and maybe Tina should take care of her too. :-)
I just thought of a reason why you introduced Candace, but I will not say anything now. I will await your reveal.
Hi,
Sorry I have to join the majority in being confused.
I am finding the extreme anxiety over Tina and Bette too much.
I find the slipping back and forth between timelines not enjoyable although I realise this builds tension in the story.
I think the fact that we now have Candace entering the story the final straw especially as she would seem to be Bette’s Senior.
I like Bette and Tina together fighting the odds not separated so I think I have found the Course just too Distant for me.
Sorry,
SG
Thank you to all who responded. I’m not the only confused person here and I won’t be following this story due to too many disconnects and loose ends. However I do appreciate the author’s efforts.
Hmm. i see a discussion there. Than i must say that even if i confused in some parts of this chapter i’d like to read future chapters. So i’m hope author will continue this story.
Thank you for the chapter!
Yeah, this part left many questions, but i hope we’ll have answers in future chapters.
Second – like all i hope Bette have anough dignity not to sleep with first woman who approach her – Candance.
And the last – Alice is totally jerk. And i don’t understand how Bette keep her friendship with such person.
Waiting for the next!
Happy to see an update.
I havent finished reading it..and wondering what happened with Tina after FBI attacked, hope you didnt kill her tho…lol
Anyway..thanks for keeping up with the story
Finally finished reading it..
I see lot of people felt confuse ..
But i have to say i enjoy every moment reading your update..
I think you try to build a thriller story with some riddles in it..leaving a small amount of trails here and there..
Rise up the tense, very intriguing
Made us wondering what had happened with Tina after the attack, where did she go, why she stayed away from Bette, would she be okay, what would happened next, how she would be able to come back into bette’s life without everyone knows who she was, how she could pass all the trauma from her past life..
And agreed with everyone..scratched the idea of bette have any intimacy with candace please…i dont know what did bette see in her could be compare with tina in the first place..
Please continue this story, no matter how much headache you would get from setting the plot.. lol
Agree with EVERYthing u wrote there!
