The Roommates – 2nd Dimension: Chapter 48
Damon’s eyes opened wide. Instantly, he retracted his claws and pushed Bette’s needs above his own discomfort. “Bette, it’s okay. I can handle it. Don’t trip. Just don’t say anything you might regret.”
Bette shook her head, her sad eyes meeting Damon’s gaze “He’s not worth this bull-shit.”
Melvin could sense his loss of control in this situation. He fought to regain command of this evening’s meal. “Elizabeth Porter, watch your language and watch your tone. Don’t forget who you’re talking to.”, he snapped.
“Oh, I know who I’m talking to. I’m talking to the biggest asshole I’ve ever known.”, she said. The calmness in her voice was a little unsettling; it didn’t match the tears now streaming down her cheeks, the symphony of emotions flashing across her face.
Melvin held up his hand, as if this move could physically stop his daughter’s words. “Until you address me”, he began.
“Just stop it. Can you stop trying to control me long enough to listen to me? To really hear me? To really hear what I’m saying to you? Can you look at me long enough to really see me? To see all of me and not just want you want to see?”
“Bette”, Damon tried again.
“No. No more lying, Damon. I’m through lying. Even the lies don’t please him. If they don’t even work, what’s the point in continuing to make them up. He doesn’t give a damn. I’m tired of trying to create a perfect world so he can destroy it in the blink of an eye. He respects nothing.”
Melvin glared at Bette. “I’m still at the table.”
“The table. What a mistake to even show up tonight at this table. Showing up to give a vision of the perfect world you want me to live in. It’s not my world, Daddy.”
Frustration poured out of her father’s posture. “What are you talking about?”
Bette took a deep breath and steeled herself. She’d perched herself on the edge of the cliff. Now was the time to make the jump.
The troubled young woman took one step closer to edge: “Damon is not my boyfriend.”

Damn this is awesome and feel bad for Bette and now drama coming and let see what’s next, thanks!
Marti says
That was intense. Melvin is truly a hyprocite. Damon was being a true friend…Bette had to stand up to Melvin. Just hope she would have told Tina. This is a battle she could use support with…and Tina could have provided that for her. Thanks for posting, please post soon.
bettefortina says
Damon Rocks! I love him so much and if you decide to spin off another stry it should totally be about him. Could Bette ask for a better friend? I think not! So Melvin is a jerk, what else is new. I think Bette is in for some serious disappointment when she makes it back down to San Diego to confront her dad. Thanks for posting and do it again real soon b/c this story is just grrrrrrreat!
t-boz says
Still enjoying this great story, along with all the drama. Great to have you back.
lowerbottom says
I was happy to see you back and wasn’t expecting such intensely powerful drama. Melvin has never accepted Bette for who she was. Damon is a great friend and protector. This has always been one of my favorite stories.
downlow95 says
Brilliant! It’s very good to have you back and writing. Happy New Year!
jade23 says

did you give up on B&T ?I’ve read your story from the beginning and I miss it :-( Hope everything’s ok with you, it would be nice if you decide to post again, everyone over here would thrill, really, please continue your story ;-)
obzidian says
I’ve spent the last week or so reading up on “The Roommates” and the sequel but has hit a pause in this story. Please allow me to say that I love the journey you’re creating for Baby Bette & Tiny Tina. Hope all’s well in your world and it’s only real life getting in the way of this wonderful fanfic. Looking forward to reading how Bette will deal with her recent revelations…and how it’ll affect her relationship with Tina.
bettefortina says
I’m dying to know how this scene wraps up; please don’t say you’ve decided to stop writing. Hopefully you’ve just been busy. Please post soon!
Anxiety25 says
First of all, thank you sooo much for posting. I look for your story every day so what a treat to log on and find an update tonight. Secondly, I hate that Bette is running after Melvin! She has absolutely nothing to apologize for. If anyone should be apologizing it should be Melvin. I really think she needs to let Tina in on this. Bette tries to be so strong but deep down she needs support and who better to give her that support than Tina. Please post again soon!
Lamentamini says
Holy shit. I know this isn’t real, but this conversation has happened and will continue to happen. I think sometimes I get so wrapped up in my “coming out” that I forget how easy I have it compared to this. I wonder if Damon will tell Tina. I know Bette doesn’t want Tina to be exposed, but Tina needs to be prepared in the event Melvin does pull Bette outta school and Bette can’t find a way to pay for it on her own. Now I can see why this chapter was so long. It had to be for all the intensity and realism to be present.

tylo says
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!OMG OMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mclaerin says
Melvin Porter IS the biggest asshole! *lol* MTS, this chapter was fabulous.
slipperynipple says
Now that’s what I call coming out with a bang. We all know how important Bette’s father is to her so this is going to only get worse I suspect. But I thrust in you as a writer to take us where ever the road leads you.
hansen says
That was truly excellent, very intense and so real….one hell of a chapter. You’re one of the best writers on this side and that really says a lot :o)) I can’t help being drawn into the world you’re creating and I’m loving every minute of it……so please post more often. THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR….

I’ve been an avid reader of this story since I first joined this site….I don’t comment much but your story is truly a wonderful treasure. It captured my attention from the beginning and still does even now. This chapter was a surprise, but was a huge stepping stone in the story…kudos to you for continuing to write such an absorbing story and for keeping it so real.
Ira says
I’m so happy you’ve posted this wonderful chapter. I LOVE this story, it’s in my top three favorite stories. Can’t wait to find out what will happen next, poor Bette…
hope4tb says
Thanks for posting another chapter… Great Story… .if you can post again soon… love this spin on the girls!!!
robbeedee says
MTS,I have just caught up with the last two chapters.And WOW! you have completely blown me away.I am shell-shocked.Given the tenacity and sheer viciousness of Melvin’s assault on Damon, I did have an onminous feeling that Bette was coming out to her father.And these scenes were wonderfully written with crisp and cutting dialogue to capture the true emotions of the moment.Finally Bette has released herself from the shackles of denial and fear however why didn’t she have resolve to tell the whole truth? Using Sidney as a defense was unnecessary and I’m sure will only end in tears.You described the pain and angst that finally pushed Bette into telling all perfectly. This is your talent and makes this story so special.Bette’s determination and stubbornness came through in her single-mindedness to face her father to clear the air and rebuild her shattered relationship.Damon was such a sweetie in trying to defend Bette and encourage her to let sleeping dogs lie and the dust to settle before charging in where angels fear to tread.Now you have to post soon.Please.Your Loyal Fan
