The Roommates – 2nd Dimension: Chapter 49
“Baby Girl……don’t let your heart lead where your head can’t follow. Don’t do that to yourself. You’re smart enough to know how our father will react to this. You know he’s so set in his ways.”
“Kit, I know he’s set in stone. I know he hates any idea that’s out of his comfort zone. I know that. But I can’t stop right now. I can’t…..I can’t deal with the thought of having to leave the one place I finally feel normal in. I can’t do that. Everyone likes me for me…..I’ve finally found some place to fit in. I can’t let him take that away from me. I just can’t let it go. I have to try. I have to.”
Kit was quiet for a moment. “Okay, okay. Well, how close are you?”
“I’m about an hour out.”
“Alright. I’m gonna get dressed. You call me when you get closer. I’ll meet you at Dad’s.”
“Okay……..I’ll call you. Thank you.”
“It’s alright. Everything is going to be fine. Just calm down and I’ll see you in about an hour”, said Kit, absently rubbing her belly as she spoke.
This dilemma was new and old at the same time. Bette had never been gay before, but Melvin had always been stubborn and unrelenting: both in his mentality and his punishments for stepping outside of his well-stated parameters. This was going to be a long night.
And as she hung up the phone and headed for the shower, Kit continued to rub the little bump growing inside her and prayed that her child would never have to fight this kind of battle. Never have to choose between parental compassion and self-identity.

As Tina stepped into her room, her eyes were drawn to the flashing red light on the answering machine. She eyed in curiously, nagging worries about Bette still hanging around her mind.
“Maybe it’s her”, she said aloud, to no one in particular.
She pressed the play button and frowned as she heard Damon’s voice. It was unusual for him to leave a message on their dorm phone. And wasn’t he out with Bette? Why would he be leaving a voice message?

thanks for posting, i have been looking forawrd to this day for a long time
Well, well, well, it’s really great to see you posting!
OMG! I was so excited when I saw you had posted. Great update. Please don’t make us wait so long next time. LOL. Can’t wait for more.
Well,well, well, loomwho is finally back in the world of fan fic. You’ve been missed morethansatisfied! I’m so happy that you’ve picked up this great story once again. Unfortunately for Bette she has Melvin’s stubborn streak and i don’t think either of them are at a point where they are going to change the others mind. I know Bette was getting annoyed at the way her father was treating Damon but she really needed to think this one through better. i mean she is completely dependent (financially anyway) on Melvin so ticking him off in this manner is going to have some serious repercussions for Ms. Porter. i just hope she doesn’t have to leave school, Tina and all her friends. Thansk for the great chapter.
Yay! You’re back! What a great chapter!
hmmm… 6 months. You’re almost as lazy as I am. =P I think Bette is doing the right thing. If she wants to do it after everyone’s cooled down, maybe Melvin would choose to ignore it and pretend nothing happened. Bette’s so alike him. Their confrontation must be very violent, but may reach an amazing end. I think Melvin really likes Bette could be as tough as him somehow, hoho. That’s my theory. Fingers crossed for our young girls.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You posted and your’e working on a novel. I luv u. I’m so excited. K now that I’ve got that out of my system I can go read .
Great chapter. Why do I feel like something bad is getting ready to happen? Keep Bette safe.
MTS – I am so happy that you’re back. The site’s been lacking high quality writers such as yourself. Please, no more 6-month breaks in the near future! Loved the chapter!
I had read your story before but was just in the reading mode and not commenting. This is a heart breaking story that happens too many times every day. I hope that Bette will begin to understand that we can not always make others believe that it is okay to love another woman. Both Bette and Tina have a lot of work ahead of them but they can overcome together. I hope that you get to post soon.
