Anatomy of a Breakdown Chap 10 Part 1
We watch the season
Pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend
Of the last week
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced
Another sun soaked season fades away
The song permeates the car as Bette steals another glance this time meeting Tina’s hazel eyes. The sun drenches her blonde locks. She is angelic.
You have stolen my heart
You have stolen my heart
The lines cut through both women. Tina stretches her arm to place it on Bette’s their fingers intertwine. A shock is sent through their bodies as it had the first time they touched; Bette gently removing the earring that had fallen in Tina’s hair that fateful evening. It was after that first interaction that both women knew there was something larger than themselves involved in their meeting. Divine Intervention.
“Bette…” Tina whispers.
“Yeah T?”
“I need to ask you something… and once I do it will be the last time I will ever talk about it again.” Bette knows exactly what Tina will ask.
“Sure.”
“Why?”
“Because… Because I am a coward who doesn’t believe anyone could possibly love her. So I destroy everything around me that makes any sense. I destroy anything that could possibly validate that I am worth anything.”
“Oh Bette…”
“It’s true Tina. I don’t know how it happened… How I started to live this life where everything on the surface seemed perfect. I seemed so in control when the reality was I had no fucking clue. I had no fucking clue how to love you because I didn’t know how to love myself. The thing that makes me most sad is that you had to be the one to get hurt.”
“Bette I can’t believe you can’t see how amazing you are. I… I… I just… Why didn’t we ever talk about it?”
“Because I didn’t realize I was doing it? I’m changing though. I can feel it everyday and quitting my job was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.”
“Are you looking for another one?”
“I have some things lined up.”
“Anything interesting?”
“I interview for Dean of the College of the Arts at CU next week.”

Wow that was intense and beautiful! So this story is nearing the end, I’m hoping you’ve got a sequel or another story in the works??? PPS:)
I LOVED IT!!!!!! You must write a sequel!!!!!
keep them coming… loved this story…
How about a 5 or 6 or 7 part finale? Or you promise to start the sequel right away? I hate seeing good stories end.
It very sad when lover forget to talk to each other. When they do forget to talk they are just plain people shring a house and not a home. I’m so glad that T&B are back to talking and sharing their love with each other.
