    Author Notes:

    Bette goes to the beach to try to figure things out.

    And so Bette had grown to maturity without often using one of the most effective emotional releases that people can have—crying. Crying to dissipate frustration, anger, tension, grief and many other things.

    In Melvin Porter’s defense, Bette was on the beach at this time because she knew she could and should solve her problems. Her father had insisted on that, no matter how difficult. But he had also crippled her to an extent because his way was not the way to comfort a seven-year-old child.

    So Bette was walking down the beach, talking to a shell, trying to find the truth.

    She had first come to the beach as a college student, while working as an art intern in Los Angeles. A girlfriend du jour had insisted that they spend the weekend at the beach and she had agreed. Bette didn’t know much about the ocean, but that girlfriend was very ***** and Bette probably would have agreed to spend the weekend with her in a tree house.

    When they got to the ocean, the girlfriend began to unpack and settle in and Bette left the beach house and walked on the beach. It affected her in a way she hadn’t felt before and she lingered on the sand instead of going back to the house. The girl had to come looking for her and for a brief moment Bette had felt that she was an intrusion. She had shaken this off and they had spent a very passionate weekend together.

    She had not returned to the beach during her student days, and when she moved to Los Angeles years later, she deliberately didn’t go to the ocean for a while. She had been almost afraid to return because her memory of it was so wonderful and powerful.

    Bette had tried other beautiful things that California had to offer, and there were many. She loved the mountains, lakes, rivers and the desert. Never had she imagined that there could be such diversity of life and beauty in something called a desert.

    But all of this was nothing compared to her earlier memory of the ocean and how it made her feel. She knew that she would feel a great sadness if the ocean no longer created that feeling of all those years ago.

    5. One thing for sure Bette is stubborn. Let her take Tina to the beach and tell her she love her. Then that will be a special place for both of them together. Thanks

    6. sometimes people just need a little alone time with nature to ease the tension and gain some insights in life. Nice chapter, but I bet it would be better with Tina in it.

    7. Our bette porter needs to get some flowers go to tina’s drop to her knees and confess I Love U T.im just scared of being in love with a straight girl.

    8. wow – your depiction of Bette finding peace within when near the ocean is wonderful – the counterbalance to her father’s notion of no tears is an ocean filled with power and surging churing that can that is not restrained as Bette has been taught – it is the blessing of nature and to have Bette feel this and find this resource – just awesome.

    10. Great job of explaining Bette’s feelings and inner turmoils. But, Bette enough with talking to the seashell suck it up and go find Tina and tell her you love her, you’ll be surprised at how easy it is and the load off your shoulders will be felt immediately. So have to agree with the beach being the place to go to chill and meditate and ponder the problems and questions in life. Its always peaceful there no matter what, and for the most part you will find the answers your looking for,you may not like them, but you’ll find them.

    12. That was really so beautiful and so perfect for Bette to come to the ocean to try to understand her own heart. I really love your premise in this story. Tina’s simplicity and openness pitted against or with Bette’s brilliance and brittleness. That Tina is somehow the catalyst for Bette’s discovering her own vibrant range of feelings, not that she doesn’t have them but that she’s been trained to stuff them time after time until finally she ‘s lost touch. Thank you for this beautifully written prose poem of Bette at the beach

    14. So does Bette get to take the lucky shell home? I hope so ‘cuz she may need to hold it front of Tina’s face so she can say “I love you.” Whatever it takes.

      More please.

    15. I hope the next chapter has Bette talking to Tina about her feelings,but it’s probly not likely to happen so soon. Realy enjoying as usual please post soon.

    16. yeah you right Bette never loved noone then she didnt know the feeling and now that is is feeling pain in her chest she only can think in 2 opitions a heart attack or she is in love..lol..i hope she have sure she is in love with Tina and soon..greqat chapter P thanks and post soon :o)

    18. For me there will always be something quaintly romantic that happens when one begins the discourse on discovering both self and love …great to see you exploring the more complicated struggle Bette is under going on her journey to love…very nicely done.

    20. Keep telling yourself that, now go to tina and beg for another change and tell her what you told the shell…god is this bette thick headed or what!!! get going now!!!…pls post soon..

    22. Yes very beautifully written. Okay Bette, now that you have connected all of the dots, you should be able to see the clear picture. The picture of the love that you have for Tina and it is indeed a beautiful sight that warms your heart and soul. Great chapter, please post again soon.
