Walking After You ch. 14
"What tree?" Dana asked.
"Bette climbed a tree?" Shane probed.
"In her flannel pajamas?" Dana rejoined.
"God, you are so gonna get arrested by the lesbian stereotype police." Alice declared.
"yes, yes, yes, and a lesbian stereotype police would have to arrest itself, wouldn’t it?" Tina answered slowly.
Everyone fell silent. Tina’s eyes tracked to large window looking out into the garden. The ladder was still propped up against the tree, which looked decidedly bald down one side. A pile of green leaves attested to where Bette had fallen. Tina was still shaking as she remembered the horror of seeing Bette plummet to the ground.
"Hey, Tina, are you okay?" Shane nudged the plate of mushy red stuff out of the way and sat on the counter. She patted Tina’s back comfortingly. Alice and Dana both looked on, worried.
"I’m fine guys. Thanks for coming. When I called Kit, I didn’t expect all of you to come here. Where is Kit?" Tina tried to calm her nerves. She still heard the crack of Bette’s head hitting the ground.
"She’s still at the hospital. She’s interrogating the nurses and doctors who saw Bette." Dana answered.
"We all called in sick to work. Or at least those of us who have work." Alice piped up.
"Now tell us, what really happened?" Shane prompted.
Tina sighed again. "She fell off a tree. That tree over there. And before you ask, it was just a silly dare. I," Tina stopped when a sob escaped her chest.
"There, there. It’s going to be okay. She’s just banged up a little. She’ll be fine. The doctor said she’d be fine."
"Yeah. A slight concussion. Bette will bounce back soon." Dana winced as soon as the words came out of her mouth.
"And the broken bones… pshaw! That’s nothing!" Alice babbled as she quickly retrieved some table napkins to give to Tina.
"A concussion, a broken radius, a broken kneecap, and some very nasty bruises. God! What was I thinking!" Tina whimpered.
"Here, have you eaten?" Shane offered the plate of red mush solicitously. It was on a plate in the kitchen. Shane supposed it was food.
"I can’t eat at a time like this!" Tina whined. She grabbed the plate and threw it into the sink. Silence blanketed the kitchen, interrupted by Tina’s quiet sobs.

pity their morning whimsy turned physically injurious – otoh, bette rendered immobile bodes well for talking :-) the love is clearly there – they don’t have any problems some real communication cant fix – & a scare like this throws priorities into relief real quick. unexpected twist & great chappy, thanks 7pm
Poor Bette and hope she will fully recover soon. Please post more, thanks!
Wow, Bette really got messed up falling out of that tree. I hope she recovers quickly. Tina is being so sweet taking care of her…
Oh Dear! What pain! Thank you for this story.
Poor girls and Tina is feeling really guilty for her involvement in the accident. Now she will do any and everything to help her love recover. Thanks.
7, I know the injury is not funny, but just picturing Bette climbing the ladder is. Those are some NASTY injuries. Bette will recover fully. Tina will eventually get over the guilt, and Bette will blame herself (as usual) for even thinking about climbing that ladder. Bette realized in earlier chapters that she has no doubt that she loves Tina; now Tina knows that she still loves Bette. They still need to talk, but I think that after what has happened to Bette, it will be easy for them to put everything on the table. I just hope that Bette tells Tina that she has been seeking professional for her problems. Fantastic update. PPS
ouch… my knee hurts just reading bette hurt hers… now we will see nurse tina.. pps
Great update! Even though they didn’t get to have the talk, I think Bette’s injuries finally opened Tina’s eyes and will be the catalyst for opening up their dialogue. PPS
i wish they would talk but this chapter was worth the wait for that talk…first part was very entertaining just imagining bette climbing that ladder…and since she’s going to fully recover, i’m okay with the second part…let nurse tina do the rest :) pps
HEY 7pm, That was so amazing. The playfullness between Bette and Tina as they hunt for food. The worry, concern and guilt that Tina was feeling after the accident wsa completely believable. Good to have the gang come rushing to the gals and trying to make Tina feel better.Then Bette and Tina snuggle up to each other was so sweet. They just fit together.Can’t wait to read more of Bette’s recovery.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
awww poor bette. But yes, injury does bring friends and even couples closer together. Good post. Another soon Please :P
