A Life I Never Meant Chapter Seven
“I don’t remember any of that. How can I not remember that?” I say, getting frustrated with myself.
“It’s OK Shane. It’s probably your mind’s way if protecting itself from something that it too traumatic to take in.”
“I guess, but still…”
“Shane, really, try not to think about it. You need to focus on getting better.” says Bette, tightening her grip on my hand.
“How long do I have to be here?”
“In the ICU, a day or two. In the hospital, it depends on how quickly your body heals. I think that you just need to take it one day at a time.”
“This coming from the woman who’s never taken anything one day at a time.” I smile at Bette, hoping that she understands that I’m only trying to lighten the mood.
Bette smiles back at me and we are both quiet for a few minutes. I can see how heavy her eyes are and I think that maybe I should send her home to try and get some sleep. Then something occurs to me. How did she know that I was here in the first place?
“How did you know where to come?”
“I heard the screeching of the brakes from the other end of the line. I’ve never heard anything like it and I knew, even though I tried to convince myself otherwise, that something bad had happened. I knew that you were on Wilshire Boulevard so I drove there. Of course I should have realised that any kind of accident makes the traffic bad so by the time that I got to where I thought you were you were already on your way here. Just as I was about to get back into my car a Dr Cook called me, to tell me that you were already in surgery and to get here as soon as I could.”
“How did he get your number?” I ask, trying to follow everything that Bette was saying.
“You know how I like to make fun of your appointment diary? Well, all I can say is that it was a good thing that you had it with you at the time. My number was at the front…”
“Under my people to contact in an emergency.”

hmmm…interesting! Waiting to see how this unfolds, not yet wanting a Tibette reunion at this point. Post soon!
I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Can’t wait! please post soon
“Tina and Alice together, in LA, for the first time in five years. I want to believe that this will be the making of Bette, a return to the woman that I first knew, when she was happy.” Oh, please! It sounds like these two have done more damage to her than good in this story. And for god’s sake, why is Bette still having a hard time getting over Tina? It’s fucking Tina for christ’s sake…the one who pulled all that crap in S3; the one who totally humiliated and debased an erstwhile strong self-assured Bette. Man, you’re making it easy for me to not like this wuss you’ve depicted. If your Bette is still harboring issues over these two thus preventing her from findig her own happiness in life, then she deserves the crap she subjecting herself to. Please don’t make me become disgusted by this Bette because on the show, she’s my favorite character.Well, you clearly have my rapt attention. I should just quit reading altogether, but like carnage from a massive wreck, I simply cannot peel my eyes away. Hmph, oh the torture (all good, by the way).
Clarity is right…I will have my bottle of wine…but will need a longer chapter
Great Story!! : )
Let the games begin!
Oooo, this is going to get interesting!! Great chapter!
Alice and Tina in LA for the first time in 5 years after what sounds like shitloads of issues with those who stayed behind? I can smell the acrimony already.
Great story. Love Shane still the wise one. Bette is not in love with Tina anymore but loves her still Alice in LA after 5 years. she will tear up WeHo. Forgot that Tina girlfriend is coming to town for Tinas birthday. write soon thanks
I can’t wait for Tina and Bette to come face to face. Shane seems to be worried about Bette and Alice but I think deep down she know Bette is still very much in love with Tina reguardless of what she says. I hope that Carmen does find out and does come to visit Shane. It would be nice to see all the gang back and the 2 couples to start over again.
Really great chapter – but if Bette is over Tina I’ll eat my keyboard. thanks for such an interesting span of time to see if these two can come back after 5 years apart.
I bet Bette’s tummy is full of butterflies and trepidation about meeting up with Tina again cuz for both of them, this will be the acid test.
Memo to self: purchase copious amounts of popcorn and beer for future chapters from Citigirl. Excellent as always!
This chapter was great and I can hardly wait until everyone is face to face. And Yes, Tina, Bette still has that hold on you just as you have a hold on her heart. When they see each other it will be hard to resist embracing each other. It will be almost like old times in that they will feel that comfort and ease being held by the other person whether they want to admit it or not.
Excellent….just excellent – more please :o))
Looking forward to future developments…
I don´t have any nails to bite…This is going to be good….I can feel it, and as a Tibetter, Betta and Tina are going to realize that they belong together, please don´t put an “IC” on us, we love drama, but not too much drama. Thank you, this is a wonderfull history.
great update!
CityGirl, another stupendous addition to your new story. You brilliantly created a scenario where Shane, even in her hospital bed, provided the clear head and insightful thoughts and rationale. Getting Bette and TIna in the same city, at the same time is a massive step forwards and I hope that their relationship can be re-kindled as the embers still glow with love and warmth for each other. Shane may be sure to enlist Alice in her plan to re-unite these soul mates even if Ally is the collateral damage. Please continue soon as this is a fabulous fan fiction. Thank you, Your Loyal Fan.
Another great chapter. Interesting meetings to follow …
