Shane forces her eyes to the floor, staring at her feet while she fights not to choke on the water she just gulped.
Are you alright, Shane?
Shane nods vigorously.
Don’t get me wrong — I can see some of her good points. She’s strong, she’s determined, she’s intelligent and she’s got something about her that’s intriguing – she’s steely but there’s a vulnerability there that’s rather touching. Still…
Shane clears her throat. She nods dramatically.
Yeah. Sure. I understand.
Anyway, she was sweet to take me home and I’m sure as time goes on we’ll feel more comfortable in one another’s presence.
Shane takes another sip of water – a small one this time.
That’s good.
Are you sure you’re ok Shane? Your eyes are watering.
No, I’m fine, really.
Ok. If you’re sure.
Shane nods. She touches the box, she touches one of the envelopes.
So what is all this, Bette?
The first thing I need to tell you, Shane, is that
Shane offers a questioning look.
She wasn’t invited – you’ll see why in a minute, when I show you this, when I explain – at least as best I can now. It’s not as fleshed out as it will be soon. But I need you to promise me that you won’t tell her about it.
I don’t know what I’m not supposed to tell her, Bette. Is it some sort of surprise party or something?
Bette opens the top envelope. She removes a stack of photographs, eight in all. She spreads them on the table. Shane looks at each one carefully. By the fourth photo, her eyes well up. She wipes them quickly, wiping her hands on her jeans. She touches her pocket, through her jeans, feeling the outline of Evelyn, whose plastic purse digs into Shane’s thigh. Shane finishes looking them over – she looks up at Bette, a tear trickling down her cheek.
What is – where did you get these? Are these all –
Bette nods.
Where did you get them, Bette? I mean what are they for?
Let me explain.

My god you can’t leave it like that, what is in the photographs, please post real soon.
I just hate cliffhangers…but i just love this story….so your forgiven….And Bette just described herself…..in Helena,..loved that…..Oh and you have a very talented dog!lol…
now what is it with you people, between you and ally, you tryin to KILL us? I am gonna get downright testy here in a minute!!!! What if the dog didn’t wanna go down the slide????
Pictures of Angelica? Please post you next chapter soon, I love your writing, the dialogue, the intensity.. just wonderful.
Are they photos of Dana? Man I almost forgot who Evelyn was and had to read that part about 3 times to understand it. lol
So did I, I tought who the hell is Evelyn again. Btw, nice people don’t stop where you stopped, you know that?.So, get the next chapter on your pjuter about now ;).
No you can’t leave it like that. Please post soon, I mean really soon.
It seems to me that I will never be able to describe how good you are! you are an amazing writer…Thank you!
Lastkid… You’ve got mad skillz as the the kids say. More posts pls and pronto. BTW, how did you teach the dog to get up on the slide?
Oh no, You did it AGAIN? I don`t have any nails left. “clapping hands” this is one of the most intriging, funny, cliffy histories on the site. You made this sunday less boring.
Photographs of Dana – that Bette has had made up for Alice and the rest of the girls – a rememberance? I know you don’t like Tina – but PLEASE let her back in! They do all need each other.
I guess you already know what we will respond… So please bring on a new chapter soon. Don’t let us wait for another half week. =)
damnit to hell LK!! i so wasnt payin attention and when i scrolled down!! i said shit fuck and damn!! ur a tease and waitin for more soon!!
Evelyn and Maxine:Alice and Dana. Should have been…Your writing is wonderful.
Does that slide conclude in a swimming pool?…It’s good to be the dog. Pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
yes please do explain….
=)
Ok, lots of cool teases here. The photographs, of course, but also the other manila envelopes, the box. And whot-tha-hell is bond paper for?
That is just mean…..
Are these photos of Dana and her life with Alice? Shane and Bette are like sisiters and they can pretty much talk about anything. I wish that Tina knew exactly what Bette was going through mainly the hitting of the walls, and singing to an empty bed that once held her daughter. I wonder would that push Tina into allowing Angelica to spend time with her other mother. Great story and post. Just wish that BandT could get their act together.
first, i totally agree on bette’s view of helena…they can be good friends but that’s about it…second: the end was intruiging, can’t wait to read what’s next…and finally, since you have a plan, care to share? or at least give a hint? pm was invented for this exact purpose ;)
BRILLIANT! and THANK YOU for this, Bette†“And for your information, the answer is no. It didn’t happen and it’s not going to happen.†I know I may be in the minority on the Bette/Helena paring but for some reason God! Bette and Helena NO! The mere thought of Helena getting all cozy with Bette romantically some how elicits this sick feeling as in really sick like I want to throw up sick kindda feeling! Sorry just my opinion! Rachel Shelly did a fantastic job of portraying the super B**C* poor lost rich little petulant child Helena, who gives Bette hell at every corner in season 2 so much so, I feel the suddenly super sweet Helena of season 3 is all too hmmm for a lack of a better word on my part I’d say too forced too plastic. I guess if they make the transition at least over time perhaps its more believable. Personally imho you handle the Bette & Helena “lets be friends†thingy way, way much better than the writers on the show!Thanks for sharing this story with us lastkid! Great job as always!
Seems we saw Shane’s eyes water a few times there, only once trying to hold back the laughter over Bette’s objections regarding Helena. I guess Shane’s becoming more open with her feelings. And Evelyn digging her purse into Shane’s thigh illustrates a couple of things. One, she wants to get back with Maxine. Also, that we only hurt those we love. Like we needed another example.
I just thought about a line you had Tina say in a previous chapter. Something about not promising Bette forever and then not keep it. Of course she’s right. A woman (claiming to be a grown-up) who has been in love with someone for about two weeks and talks about marrying that person wouldn’t ever promise her partner of 7 years something like that. Come on, not even in Bette’s darkest hour Tina would’ve said that, how dare we think she would be so naive? Honestly, if you were in love with someone for more than 7 years, you wouldn’t say something thoughtless like that, would you? I’m sure Tina did promise Bette forever. And broke it a lot more often than everyone thinks.
Back from S.F. and caught up with your story…saw albeez in SF but don’t see her on your comments…I will say that I love your story and can’t wait for the next chapter
Once again, a chapter of the highest caliber. The adroitness with which you slowly change the barometer of the story and the characters feeings is lovely…….I look forward to seeing how the weather plays a part in each chapter. The heat, the symbolic fires of hell have not taken over just yet. There is a brown out, not all hope is lost, there is faint glimmer of light, a bit of energy is still left…….Alice’s messages to Shane were not meant to be pestilent, they were jovial with just a touch of confusion at being excluded from Bette and Shane’s pow wow…….Did Shane bring Evelynn as a talisman? Or maybe she is hoping that some of Bette’s energy will somehow transfer and help to bring good fortune to it’s effigy……Bette has had time to cogitate about her behavior. Her apology is genuine. She understands that Alice may be puerile on occasion and a tad too exhuberent when on a mission – but she knows deep down in her heart that Alice is not malicious or factuous……The fact that Bette is going to therapy shows that she is resolute in moving forward. It can’t be fun to be there, but making the effort speaks volumes…….OK, once you had Bette say that the world is small, that damnable Disney song is now stuck in my head…….They think that Tina doesn’t have the balls to go into The Planet? Think again, she thought about it so we know that where there’s smoke, there’s fire……..Helena believes that some things are just coincidences, however, it looks as if they can also be subconscious orchestrations of serendipity too……..Bette might as well have been looking into a mirror when she was describing Helena, but the difference this time is that she did not actually revile her, she was also able to elucidate some of her better qualities – many of which Bette possesses too. I loved how Shane saw through it and struggled to maintain her composure……..It’s purely conjecture at this point as to what’s in the envelope and box. She said that Alice was right, so that could mean that she has evidence that Tina has always been gay. Are they pictures of them from when they first started dating? Oh, the intrigue grows!!!!!! I’m waiting patiently for your next chapter. OK, maybe not so patiently, but I am looking forward to it! Bravo, yet again.
The old cliffhanger trick, eh? Fine. But you know you don’t need that because I’ll read every chapter you write. Next one, please.
well fergz im catching up baby. lk you just keep bringing it k? thanks
Darn, you! You, who lengthy chapters at a time, chooses now to leave off after a palsy (quantity, not quality) two pages, with this kind of cliffhanger. Brilliant story, Kid.
Correction: You, who submits lengthy…
what the..? i’ve heard of always leaving them wanting more but that’s just so not right.. eagerly awaiting the next chapter.x.x.
Bette describing Helena – I loved how you wrote that part – so funny. I love this story and I am so glad I started reading it. I’m considering a dog – does yours climb up the ladder and go down the slide – or do you have to put him up on top of the slide?
