Walking After You ch. 18
Bette scrunched up her face and started to pull at a lock of her hair.
"You always act like a little kid around me. I’m used to it so it’s alright. You can always tell your big sister what’s the matter, you know that right?"
"Oh Kit." Bette’s lower lip started to tremble. "When will it ever get easy? I try to fix things and screw it up all over again. I made it worse, even. What is wrong with me?"
"I don’t know baby. I wasn’t here. Tell me."
Bette made a face. "Okay. But don’t hate me." At Kit’s nod, Bette told her everything that happened. "All I wanted was for her to understand. I wanted to tell her that I will talk to her when I’m ready. When it’s all clear in my head. But as usual, I said it all wrong." Bette ended her narration with a whimper.
"Did you say you were seeing a psychologist?" Kit clarified.
"Yeah. Dr. Morga. Her office is on Franklin Avenue. I went for my first session yesterday. After I talked to her, I realized I needed to work on my communication skills with Tina. I needed to tell her the things that were bothering me, but after I tell her how much she means to me. That was my plan, anyway."
"When’s your next appointment with this Dr. Morga?"
"Why? Kit, I don’t need you to check up on her for me. She’s fine. She’s great, even."
"When?"
"I was supposed to go tomorrow. But as you can see, I’m indisposed." Bette scowled down at her legs.
"Alright. Can you rest now? Or do you feel you need to pick another fight with T?"
"She’s not coming back in here." Bette answered sadly.
Kit just patted Bette’s leg and said, "You just remember that Tina loves you."
Bette nodded. When Kit left, she murmured, "Until when?"
*****
"You gonna go back in there?" Kit questioned Tina who was lounging on the sofa, drinking a can of soda.
"Not yet." Tina answered.
"But you will later on, right?" Kit persisted.
"She doesn’t want me in there."
"Sure she does."
"She told me to leave."
"She don’t mean that."
"She shouldn’t have said it."

That’s so sweet!
That was so adorable. I hope this “shrink” is going to be helpful to all them. They sure could use some assistance.
Now that was just perfect; the hands thing was a great idea.
awe……
If there was a special award for the sweetest page in fan fic, your last one would be on my shortlist!
I love Kit in big sister mode! I have a feeling Kit won’t *let* Bette screw it all up, no matter how hard Bette tries. ;P The last page, as others have mentioned was so sweet. Great chapter, 7! Thanks :)
no nonsense kit is fun :-) im glad tina has her around to help – & bettes lucky to have her too. charming & sweet ending, thanks 7pm – bring on the next chappy
i love you…i mean, your story LOL such a brilliant writing, love the two hands part, just love it…hurray for Kit!!
Awwww. Stoner22 is totally right. And is it weird that I felt bad for Tina not being able to stew in her righteous anger for even a little bit? PPS!
I am floored by the level of writing in this story! Your talent is shining brightly through in every chapter. The two hands…brilliant! Thanks!!!
WOW Kit is a bossy sister in law, little scare there lol. That was good and hope seeing shrink and they talk will work everything out. Please post more, thanks!
aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww that was so sweet and i loved take charge Kit. Tina is a honey.
Lovely. Thank you.
I just love this story. I particularly like that both Tina and Bette are so flawed, but their love for one another is always so strong. The end of the chappie was just brilliant, and so sweet.
