The Roommates: Chapter Nine
This was Tinas last thought before everything went blurry and she slipped into darkness.
Bette
Thats where Tina was wrong. Bette was thinking about her. Shed been thinking about her all morning. After she left the dorm, she walked past girls whose curious stares begged Bette to explain her tears. Now, not only was Bette devastated, but she was now humiliated. She hated people seeing her cry and she had no time to try and get herself together. The quizzes in Italian were given at the start of class and she knew shed miss it if she were to stop. She wiped at her face as her long legs carried her swiftly to Royce Hall.
As soon as the quiz was over, Bette excused herself and ran to the bathroom. This whole situation was literally making her sick. She reached the stall just moments before she started throwing up bile and dry heaving. When her stomach stopped convulsing, Bette flushed the toilet and locked the stall door. She leaned against the door and felt the sobs begin. Bette was so tired of feeling like an outsider looking in. She was always an outsider; present but not really essential or able to fit in with the environment. Even with Sidney, part of her felt as though she were pretending; putting on the phony Bette that everybody wanted to see.
At home, it was just Bette & Melvin. Melvin demanded perfection and Bette tried to meet his expectations. However, she knew that perfection was an impossible goal and she constantly lived in fear of failing him. Her mom had walked out on them 3 years ago, shortly after Bette came home early from school and walked in on her having ***** with one of Melvins business partners. Her mom had decided that David Schwartz was worth more than Bette and Melvin combined and so shed left to be with him. They had moved back East to Davids native New York and Bette hadnt heard from her since. So, at the end of the day, Melvin was all Bette had and she felt that even his love was conditional; conditioned on her meeting an impossible level of perfection.
Bettes older sister, Kit, was proof of what happened when you failed Melvin Porter. Kit had spurned Melvins dream of going to medical school and dropped out of college in her sophomore year to sing lead in an R&B band. Kits group, N2Soul, had actually been pretty successful with a few hit records and in the twilight of the groups career Kit was branching off into producing. Kit had had some struggles with alcoholism along the way, but shed braved the turbulent storms in her life and had come out of them self-assured and stronger than before.
