    Author Notes:

    Shane’s past… getting to know Bette

    I told her I was almost done with school, starting to look for work. She asked how that was going, and I said it was bumpy. She looked at me with this knowing look. I hated it. It was like my one word answer told her all the mysteries of me. She pulled out her daily planner, ripped out a sheet from the back, and wrote on it. Slid it across the table to me. An address and a phone number. I just looked at her questioningly.

    “Just in case the salons you are applying to need to send something somewhere or contact you somehow. The phone has voicemail, the code is written there so you can check voicemail from any pay phone throughout the day and call them back.” That was it. No lectures, questions, conditions, wants of explanations. Just enough of help that I couldn’t call it a hand-out, and she knew it. I didn’t know what to say.

    She glanced at her watch and stood, “Oh I’m late. Tell you what. Come by the house tonight and we’ll throw some chicken on the grill. You can tell me the parts of Hollywood you’ve explored so far. I have a pool, we can go for a swim. What do you say?”

    I just kept looking at her and the second piece of precious paper she had given me. Thank you seemed like such a small thing to say for what she was offering me. She smiled at me, like she knew what I was thinking. So instead, I stood up, offered my hand, and asked her what time. She shook my hand, turned it over in her hand, looking at the worn palm and dried-skinned fingers in her hand, and told me seven o’clock. Then without another word, she grabbed her bag and left the café. I finished my coffee, and went off to find the salons that I would be applying to in a few days time, seeing what exactly I was signing myself up for in this new area of LA.

    1. I always thought Shane and Bette had an interesting relationship in comparison to the relationships they have with the other girls in the group. Thanks for highlighting it.

    3. kd I LOVE this fic!!!! I too have always loved Bette and Shane’s relationship, which I have always felt is the most true and the most loving, in a most subtle way, of all the relationships. Shane was the ONLY one to be there for Bette when she really needed a friend. They appear to be on opposite ends of the class spectrum but I think they are very alike inside, and have allowed each other glimpses into that pain..that others don’t see. I also think that they would be hot together..God yes…if even only for one night…so if you are heading this way, kd, a sharing of physical love, in time…I am so here!!!!!!!!

    4. Just caught up with your previous chapters. Your writing feels very refreshing and I’m glad to read about Bette and Shane. More importantly Shane. You aren’t heavy with words so the flow is smooth and I can actually picture Shane’s mode and attitude through your words. Impressive. Bette’s character also comes through quite well (re: ‘you won’t win this argument’ look) and the contrast (socially anyway) of Bette and Shane is interesting to explore in addition to the sublime similarities of their inner selves. While I couldn’t vouch for a Bette and Shane romance (lol really, I refuse to picture that myself…not without coercion 8D), it would be an ingenious endeavor if you were able to work with that line. I remember reading something with Alice and Shane of this nature, though I’ve never seen anything like this (or as good) with Bette and Shane. So KD, long story short, you have me for the ride 8D. Looking forward to more.

    6. Hi here I am again. I just read this again,after my initial joy at finding a Shane and Bette fic, and realized how well written it is, how Shane is written with such nuance, and Bette being able to establish bonds with Shane, and help her, without frightening or patronizing her. Excellent fic!! Post soon please.
