Only Women Bleed – Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Bette reached into the dark recesses of the hall closet. The stale, un-circulated air of the small space surrounded Bette, reminding her that she was disturbing memories that perhaps were better left untouched, protected from the light of day. The box was large, heavier than Bette remembered. A layer of dust covered the lid. The sun shining through the roman blinds captured the tiny particles that were suddenly released and dancing in the path between the window and the closet. Bette sat back on her heels, took a deep breath, and gently removed the lid from the box where she had tucked away all remnants of her life with Tina. The photo albums were arranged in neat, uniform rows, in stark contrast to the chaos of the lives documented within them.
The first item Bette removed was a note written in their first 6-months together, many years before.
Bette,
It actually hurts me to leave you today. I feel as though a bit of my heart is being cut out and left here. Five days without you seems an eternity. How have I lived my life until now without you in it? I don’t know how I have survived without seeing your amazing smile, touching your beautiful body, and simply BEING with you. Everyday I wake up and wonder if this has all been a dream.
I’ll call you every night (and probably every morning and every afternoon).
I love you with everything that I am.
T
Bette wiped a single tear from her cheek. “There has never been another time in my life when someone has loved me liked that,” she thought. “I miss being loved so completely.”

Great story. Slight correction – It was President Obama that passed the gay marriage legislation. :-)
go angie, do some magic on your mamas
i love this fic….and the memories that Bette is experiencing…..they are awesome…….cannot wait for more….pps……
Hey this was a great 24b&T, the memories of B&T making love and how Bette declared that she loved Tee and wanted her to live w/her,,,and loved how Angie took the picture, now I wonder what she will do with it? Great chapter
How about you let them get married again now that the laws have changed? I love this story. Thanks for the post.
i want more and i want tibette back together :)
So Ang is gonna show mama T and try to relight the fire
Angelica has definitly got something up her sleeve, lets hope it works. I don’t care who makes it legal either as long as they do, but I gotta say go Hillary.
Hmmm, wonder what Angie is up to snaggin that photo?? Love this story, sometimes it’s fun to get behind becuase I get to read a bunch of chappies ina row and don’t even have to beg for it!!
Hope Angie will get her moms back together!
CLINTON!EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN!=)
Seems like a certain someone might be getting an idea to start some well-intentioned meddling. Nice update, 24.
Not President (former Senator) Barbara Grisham? LOL Thanks for writing it, 24B&T
keep it and keep it coming lol.
I just love great lovin from B&T, even if it is in momories. Maybe you and Angie could do something about that. Pretty please! PPS!!
Meh, Hillary, Obama, who cares? Just let me get legally married without having to go somewhere else. lol Anyway, hot chapter! :)
I am so loving your story!!!! What has Angie got up her sleave? Thanks
Another great post 24B&T. The rating you entered seemed appropriate to me. Bette should let Angie go through the photos to see if she would like to keep any more pics. I’m suprised Angie hasn’t seen the commitment photos before…it seems B&T have been trying to keep some of their history from Angelica…the time in which B&T deeply loved each other….and now Angelica is craving it all the more. I love this story and your writing! More please!
