She looked up at Bette, hoping her expression hadn’t given her away.
Bette looked confused, “What’s wrong?” she asked.
“This might be a bad time, but we need to talk.”
***
Bette sat up and looked Gen in the eyes, not letting go of her hand. She felt her heart sink to her stomach, “What do you want to talk about?”
Gen slowly pulled her hand away from Bette and placed them on her lap, “I don’t think we should be doing this.”
Bette starred at Gen, speechless; it was hard to hold back the tears that were starting to bubble up from within her. How could she do this to me now, Bette thought to herself, after everything I have been through in the last few days. Part of her wanted to scream, yet a part of her looked at Gen and felt that she understood her decision.
Gen looked into Bette’s eyes, every memory they had shared together that brought them closer seemed to linger like an unspoken bridge between them, “Fact is that, I’m falling for you, Bette. Everything about you makes me go weak, but I can’t afford to be weak. I never want to see you hurt again, I want to protect you and I blame myself for what happened, I wish I had seen it earlier, that it was Adele. But I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I just was so caught up in…”
“Shh…” Bette whispered as she sat up to hug Gen.
Gen held onto her, feeling her warm skin through her thin hospital robe, “I love you, Bette, and I will always be here for you. I always want to be your friend, and your confidante. I want to protect you above everything else. But we just can’t do this, not right now.”
Bette moved back, both of their faces were covered with tears, “I understand,” she said, trying not to let her emotions show through her voice, “I guess it was just the wrong timing. Friends?” Bette extended her hand. Gen took her hand with both of hers, “Friends,” she echoed.

Gen is stupid, so stupid how can yoou let someone like Bette go??? So so stupid, hope Tina will make her jealous and make her beg Bette to take her back. Great update but indeed too short :)
TIBETTE WOOO HOOOYEAH NO WE’RE TALKING!!GEN WHO??
I knew the attorney would be Tina.YAY!! Just what Bette needs. Let’s have some progress on this personal front. PPS
I gotta say that I find it really irritating when, since there are around 5 zillion tibette fics out there, that people, not you, eunichick, but some of the readers, insist that EVERY fic be a tibette fic. Whether that’s where the author is going or not isn’t the point, but it is nice to have our five or six not tibette fics, and I think they, and we who enjoy them, should be left alone.
wow, i knew it..awesome chapter, but this was too short..and please don’t tell me ur breaking up Gen and Bette for good..it was a nice relationship..why, oh why?
WOW!!!! That was fun!!!! I do not think Gen is going to like having Tina around. Great Chapter!!! PPS
Oooh LaLa, Tina just breezed into town. Gen just doesnt want to pressure Bette so thats why she broke things off and above all she didnt want to get hurt. But i know Gen & Bette belong together, i think its cool that Tina and Bette are friends but maybe Bette will fall into the wrong arms no that her and Gen are not an item anymore….But DONT DO IT BETTE…GEN IS THE ONE!!!!Good update PPS…Yes im in deep thought for my FF i have wrote some already just thinkin where to take the story to next??!! I shall be posting soon. Love this chapter keep up the gd work
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! *clutches head in agony and runs screaming into the night, even though it’s only 11 am…*
