Trial and Error Ch. 13
"Bette wait," Tina yelled as she ran towards Bette. She held Bette’s flipflops in the one hand.
Because it was Sunday and still very early in the morning, the road wasn’t filled with the loud hustle and bustle of cars on their way to work or church. They met in the middle of the road and Tina threw her arms around Bette, dropping the flip flops on the pavement. She wept bitter tears into the crook of her neck.
Bette tired her best to soothe Tina by making vertical strokes up Tina’s back. Her curiousity was getting the best out of her because she wanted to know exactly what went down in the Kennard house.
"Tina, what happened?" Bette asked, hoping Tina was strong enough to explain.
"She wants me to leave you," Tina cried out, clinging onto Bette and wringing the material of Bette’s tank top in her hands. "She says you’re not," she hiccuped, "good enough for me. She doesn’t want you to tutor me anymore. She…Bette…I can’t." Tina sobbed harder into Bette and lowered her head to her chest, staining Bette’s top with tears.
Bette closed her eyes and threw her head back. She knew it was too good to be true. "Maybe she’s right."
"What, Bette what are you saying?" Tina asked, staring at Bette as if she was a madwoman.
"Tina, she’s your mother. You need her," Bette explained. She didn’t want to be the reason why Tina never spoke to her mother again. Tina had told her that her mom always yelled at her for doing drugs, drinking, and coming home late but those were rational. But she wasn’t going to force Tina to choose between her and her mother. It would have been selfish for her.
"No I don’t," Tina yelled, letting go of Bette and pounding on Bette’s chest with her fists, shaking her head. "You don’t know what you’re saying." It was true though, as much good Victoria had taught her, it was Bette who influenced her the most. Sure Victoria taught her never to take to strangers and all that jazz. But it was Bette that made her turn her life 180 degress around because she wanted to do it for Bette. She wanted to prove to Bette that she was worth her attention, not her mother.

All I can say is you write a good story.
cigarettes? now how is that going to help? Great drama, come on Bette-fight 4 ur woman!!! pps
They are just teenagers, how in the hell can they fight parents? They don’t have to agree to what the mother is trying to do to them but hell, they are at school all day and some evenings with extra-curricular activities and they can devise all kinds of ways to see and be with each other. Tinas mother is an idiot. Hopefully they will think about this and just continue to see each other at school, they can at least agree on that. Glad Melvin is cool in this story. The need to take the time to think things thru. Thanks for posting.
Alright “Natch” you better fix this quick. PPVS
This is not good. Hope they are able to work this situation out.
they are still too young to fight for this kind of love. i would like to see them end things here, grow much older and then meet again later, when they have stuff/life/whatever figured out and all. i have no doubt that their connection is deep, but i think they need to be more mature to handle it.
im loving this teenage drama though. pps. :)
Excellent update. Can’t wait to see wht happens. Thank you.
