When a household member stuck his head out and questioned them, they jumped up and giggled apologetically, running off with a playfulness that lifted them from their troubles. Bette took Tina’s hand in her own and was thankful for the experience, feeling already progressively healthier. She knew she could face anything with Tina at her side, telling her it would all be alright.
Their days together bonded them in a way no one else understood, but still they felt that love was better left unsaid. Like that would balance the prejudice against them. They felt almost as if they weren’t allowed that luxury. They didn’t press their luck, and life became something new for them both.
Bette was only alerted when she couldn’t reach Tina one relatively calm day – Tina wouldn’t pick up her phone, wouldn’t call her back.
That was when Bette started to worry.
She really started to panic when she realized that she had no one to contact about her concerns. Finally unable to sleep because of it, she drove over to the Kennard household the next day, completely desperate to know what had happened. Was Tina in some sort of trouble? She risked her safety to find the answers, but arrived with some confusion.
After knocking and receiving no answer – seeing that all of the lights were out mid afternoon – she was really worried. They weren’t home. Where would she go now? Tina’s university? She felt her heart drop, and she went back to her place for a while to try and regroup. At busy times during the semester, Tina would forget to call her, but Bette still worried. It was two more days before she decided the situation warranted the long drive, still having heard no word from Tina. She knew then that something was seriously wrong.
The fear of it all rested on her shoulders as she drove with fatigue, all the while wondering how she would find the information she needed. Where was Tina and what had happened to her? She hoped those weren’t impossible questions, that she would find the answers before she went completely out of her mind.
She stayed in a motel in the city after arriving late at night – she would get no answers so late. Hardly sleeping, all Bette could do was worry until the morning when she looked everywhere she could – even the hospitals – to see if anyone had seen Tina Kennard, but no one would give her any information because she wasn’t family. They told her she didn’t have the right to know.

The inheritance will play a role in this I guess, otherwise you wouldn’t have mentioned it. Right? So, there is hope. Right? There is another song titled “she will be loved” by Death Cab for Cutie. I don’t know if it fits the story, but it’s a really nice song.
Did Tina’s parents already know of B&T’s ‘secret’ love affair the past year because how did they know to specifically restrict Bette from seeing Tina? Also, I was wondering what decade this story is set in cause it still seems so fifties mentality even if it is such a small town. It looks like when and if Tina survives this it will be a long and difficult recovery made even more painful without her Bette medicine. But in Tina knowing and sensing even in her unconscious state that Bette was there for her I think will give her the strength and will to survive. The very clearly need each other from now on. Deary me. Whew!
This is so sad please make it better,your making me cry. Thanks for posting.
Gosh!! Was waiting for an update but this one was hard to take. Could not stop crying. So hard for Bette to not be able to be with her soulmate. Please do something.
So heartwrenching. :(
Interesting way to have them finally say I Love You, to one another. Bette is a better one than I to stand there and take that crap from Tina’a dad. Well at least all seems to be going better for Tina. Wow, they have been seeing each other for a year.
This is so heart wrenching to read. I love this story, sad but I love it. Poor Bette, no one else to turn too. and now Tina is sick she is so alone. I hope Tina will get better. Bette is so helpless in this story…I cried. PPS.
Oh gods, I’ve been waiting for update..like forever!Hope you won’t make me cry in the end..It’s beautiful, but sad..very sad..please let this be a happy story!And thank you for update..although, hope you’ll post it all in next chap;)Beautiful sad story, my heart broke because of Bette..how nobody told her.Luckily, T’s awake….:))
What a very sad and helpless situation to be for them both. Wish Bette had stayed just a few seconds longer and heard Tina tell her she loved her too. Hope Tina will be alright in the end even if they can’t be together. Hopefully you won’t let her die in this story. When Tina’s father said that Bette didn’t have the money to care for Tina, why the heck didn’t she remember her inheritance. Even though she doesn’t want to touch the money for her own use, she could very easily use it to help Tina get better. That statement doesn’t bode well for Tina’s father either because he was just thinking what all the ICU equipment is costing even though it is keeping Bette’s precious Tina alive. Doesn’t seem a though he cares about her well-being just what it costs to keep her alive. I really hope I’m wrong in that assessment of him. Great update, although very sad. Thanks for posting.
You really know how to make a girl cry. So beautiful, thank you so much for such a passionate story GR.
I knew from the first episode that you were going to break my heart – I just hate it when I’m right! But don’t go, Bette! When Tina comes round she can see who she wants and she will need you. And I fear even more for Bette, seeing this as a goodbye and her life before her without Tina. Beautiful as ever…. but soooo sad! Thank you.
Anyone have a kleenex? Thank you. I worry big time for Bette. Difficult childhood. Melancholic temperament. Zero social support. No money. And suddenly no Tina. Someone get her to a psychiatric facility ASAP. Seriously. And someone lend me a kleenex.
This is so sad and it makes me so angry at people’s attitude. Bette is the one person who’s presence can help Tina to heal faster and she’s being prevented from seeing her. I hope her short visit was enough to inspire Tina to get well so that she can be with her again.
What incredible writing in this chapter? You are so talented. That was hard to read, seeing Bette self-destruct, her despair was palpable. I am waiting with baited breath to see how this story progresses. Thanks for posting.
Damn this is sad adn hope Tina will wake up and be with Bette again!
