“Get……..out”, was Melvin’s terse reply.
“Dad. She’s not doing anything wrong. She’s in a committed relationship. She loves Tina and Tina loves her. They really care about each other. No one is laying up or walking around – – – – “ , Kit began.
Her father cut her off. Hearing Tina’s name was surprising. Tina, the little blonde, well-mannered, kind-hearted young woman was his daughter’s roommate, her best friend. This girl had been in his home, in his world, carrying on with his daughter in the shadows of his reality. This discovery was unsettling.
“Tina?”, he asked.
Bette cringed. Kit had no way of knowing that Bette told a white lie that evening to protect Tina. She’d only been trying to help.
Flash back to the Dinner Table that Evening (Chapter 48)
“How could you know what love is? What has this girl done to you?”, asked Melvin.
Bette shook her head, any hope she had of being understood began to fade away.
“Daddy, no one has done anything to me. She loves me. I love her.”
“Who is this she?”, he asked.
Bette averted her eyes. It was the moment of her truth. Her truth. Not Tina’s. She didn’t want to expose the woman that owned her heart. And so, in a moment steeped with Déjà vu, she uttered, “Her name is Sidney.”
Melvin’s nostrils flared as he whipped around and grabbed Bette by her shoulders. “Tina? You didn’t tell me you were seeing Tina. You told me it was some other girl.”
“Daddy, please let me go. I didn’t want you to be upset. That’s why I didn’t tell you it was Tina.”, said Bette. Her father’s grip was tight, his eyes angry and smoldering.
For the first time in her life, she was afraid for her safety.
“You lied to me again. What have I done to deserve your lies? What have I done to earn your deceit? You’ve been carrying on with Tina right under my nose. Haven’t you? Haven’t you?”
Kit was worried, she moved closer to her sister and father. “Daddy, let her go. You’re hurting her.”

Wow I just came across this story and from what I have read I like it. I am going to have to go back and read the whole thing.
maybe bette’s mother support her
maybe bette’s mother support her
That was an extremely emotional chapter. Well done!
that’s a tough chapter to read. Full of emotions…Ladystorm is right, maybe Bette’s mom is gonna help her…To continue her scholarship but also to keep seeing Tina !
Bette still has her aunt!It will be hard but I know Bette & Tina can overcome this. There are scholarships, student loans.
One more thing, your writing is awesome. It has gotten better not that it was not before but it’s a lttle different which has made it even better to read. Please let us know when that novel is finsihed!
What an emotional confrontation between father and daughters. Really liked these lines: “hese two young women had lived their lives as distant sisters; connected only by the man who’d fathered them. And now, in the quiet hush before the dawn of a Porter Family war, these emotionally crippled foot soldiers lacked the skills needed for battle” and “The foot soldiers had acquired skills in the heat of battle. Love and compassion now flowed easily between them.” Ah, to be in control…hope when Bette grows up, she won’t have this problem as her father does. I too think that perhaps now is the time for Bette’s mother to be more of a part of her life. Thanks for another wonderful addition to the Baby Bette and Tiny Tina story!
Oh yeah, Bette still has her Mom, her Aunt and Grandmother to lean on. I’m sure they’ll be more than willing and happy to lend that support, whether emotionally and financially.
Oops, that should be emotionally or financially.
the manure just keeps hitting the fan…it would be great for melvin to get a heart attack right now and be alone just as kit said…maybe bette should get a job and pay her way through school, but the main thing, she had to talk to tina and ket her know about this, as painful as it could be, they have to deal with this together
wow that was sad and intense..poor Bette and just to think that Tina probably will have the same problems with her family. I hope things get better for them.
That’s so heartbreaking. Bette could learn from JB, to be neighbours’ babysitter or walk their dogs to earn the tuition fees…
So glad that you’re back! The amazingly written tension is wonderfully done and sadly easy to relate to. Keep up the great work and please post more as soon as you can!
Oooohh my GOD just found out that ou had posted again *twice* Brilliant yes I still read your stories, I have 4 authors I go Back and read ove and over Ally, Skip, Beluga And yourself. Yes I was soooo excited when I seen youhas posted. Going to be hard for our girls but I hope they dont start pulling back from each other, Stuff ass hole Melvin, as somebody says she has her aunt and mum, but let her talk to Tina
I swear my heart rate kept increasing during this chapter. If it’s late enough into the semester then Bette can still finish and have the summer to do whatever it takes to stay in school. And like others have said, she has other family members who would probably help out. She just has to not open her mouth for awhile unless her aunt is the only one helping. =/
And that’s why kids find it so difficult to come out to their parents… if ever. Please post again soon.
great stuff!!! I’m gonna have to go back and read about baby Tina and Baby Bette, damn 49 chapters!!!!lmao …anywayz more soon please, find a way to keep Bette in school and don’t let her and T break up…
Let Bette call Tina. She really needs her. Yes, her mother or her aunt I know will definitely support, Yes. Post soon, please.
Bette needs to go to Tina right now. Bette has a support system in Tina, Kit, her aunt, and she could even talk to her mother. But most important, Bette needs Tina right now. This was a very emotional chapter. Very well done.
Man, that was intense. Bette still can go to her aunt even her mom. Still not the end of the world .. yet. Let Bette go to Tina. Brilliant chapter, more please :)
So glad to see these 2 chapters of my favorite story. Melvin is such a self-rightess prick and stands to lose the love of both daughters forever. I hope that he wakes up before its too late… people that say sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me… haven’t been on the receiving end of such hateful comments. So much passion and emotions in this chapter- can’t wait for Bette to get back to Tina, she needs her now.
So you’ve brought some serious drama in this chapter. Bette has got be destroyed at Melvin’s continued negative reaction. And now that Melvin knows it was Tina all along i’m worried for her future as well; what if Melvin shares this little lifestyle choice w/ Tina’s family in an attempt to break Tina and Bette apart….uh oh! So how is Bette going to stay in school? I really felt Melvin’s anger and hatred towards Bette (and Kit for that matter) in this chapter. Great writing job, well done!
Damn this is so sad and emotional!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So raw all those emotions, well done.
This is so heart breaking for Bette and her relationship with Tina. Hopefully there is a way that Bette will be able to continue with her schooling and remain with Tina. Post soon.
This story just keeps getting better and better – a definite “must read”.
Wow, MTS, that’s some return. Welcome back, glad you decided to pick up with this story again. Yup, life isn’t always happiness and good times. We have to struggle thru drama to be able to appreciate those happier moments. Can’t wait to see how our young ladies work their way through this all.
She can get student loans…screw Melvin. she needs to get back to Tina
Wow! Wrenching drama! Thanks!
MTS…your writing has taken on a new dimension too. Congrats on your novel and thank you for continuing this story.Its difficult to fathom that Melvin would be so against Bette this way because of the way I interpreted his character on the show. It is a wonderfully written, heartwrenching chapter.
well well if it isnt my friend fergz. sns, excellent. you forgot one. he who is with sin, yada yada yada. funny how people use scripture to only make themselves feel justified. thanks for the update.
MTS….Your’e the best.I’ve said that to a lot of authors on this site but I’ve never really meant it until now. : ) If Melivin doesn’t pay for the rest of Bette’s schooling…I think Bette should sell the Beamer. The money she’d get would last her up until her senior year at UCLA…that’s of course if she finds a small apartment and split the rent with Tina.It’s only 6K for califronia residents a year..w/o room and board. I should of applied there but I didn’t. **Sigh** Now my tuition is around 40K a year. Keep posting regularly..if you get the time. Toodles.
WOW both of them are hurt but grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to melvin for being such a bastard to bette
I am so glad you are back. Don’t leave us again, k? Roommates was one of the stories that got me hooked on this site. Wonderful chapter. I’m scared for Bette, but with help from Kit, Tina, and her aunt she should be okay. PS How’s the novel going? Whats it going to be about?
